"HOLY SHIT!" mi pare un commento più che consono. | 
Mega Shark si fa uno snack. | 
Il mondo contempla sgomento Giant Octopus. O Lorenzo Lamas? Li confondo sempre. |
Trovo che la produzione della
Asylum-di-nome-e-di-fatto un tantinello compiaciuta; in fatto di stile la
Troma dei bei tempi era tutta un'altra cosa. Non si può però restare indifferenti di fronte alla magnificenza di un
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, non tanto per l'opera in sé, quanto per il coraggio e l'incoscienza necessarie per produrlo e per parteciparvi.

Mentre se ne va a zonzo per i fondali della sua carriera col suo bel sottomarino,
Deborah 'Debbie' Gibson libera inavvertitamente due vecchi amici imprigionati nel ghiaccio:
Mega Shark e
Giant Octopus.
Devo davvero aggiungere qualcosa alla trama?
Oh sì, ad un certo punto compare anche
Lorenzo Lamas.
Se vi accingete a vedere un film del genere e con un titolo simile, sapete già cosa aspettarvi: un ora e mezza di sofferenza, intermezzata da sprazzi di vero genio.
Come testimoniano le immagini, Mega Shark fa la parte del leone, sbranando il
Golden Gate ed abbattendo un jumbo in volo (in pieno oceano: quel coso salta dieci fottuti chilometri!)
Dispiace un po' per Giant Octopus, ma le sue gesta non sono altrettanto memorabili: stritolare una piattaforma petrolifera ed un paio di sottomarini è roba quotidiana, dai tempi di
20.000 leghe sotto i mari.
Si difendono egregiamente gli esseri (sub)umani, con militari coi mitragliatori spianati e gli occhiali da sole all'interno di un sottomarino ed ovviamente il tris di scienziati che rimescola brodaglie fosforescenti con entusiasmo giovanile.
Assenti (giustificati, dato il titolo) regia, sceneggiatura e recitazione, indifendibili gli effetti speciali con i mostroni digitali (Lamas incluso) mostrati solo per pochi secondi.
Atroce il sonoro, con il parlato che risulta più spesso che no incomprensibile. Non che ciò sia un male.

Diciamo che è un titolo riservato ai veri cultori del genere.

Gibson, Deborah (I)
Nome di battesimo: Gibson, Deborah Ann
Data di nascita: 31 August 1970
Altezza: 5' 6" (1.68 m)
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:For more than 20 years, Deborah Gibson has proven she's an entertainer of immeasurable talent. From singer, songwriter and musician to actor and dancer, she embodies what it truly means to be an entertainer. Gibson exploded on the pop music scene at the tender age of 16. A music prodigy, she quickly became the youngest person ever to write, produce and perform a number one single, ("Foolish Beat"), a record she still holds today in the Guinness Book of World Records. To date, Gibson has sold more than 16 million albums worldwide. After conquering the pop world, she set her sights on the theater. Gibson took a star turn in the Broadway production of "Les Miserables" as Eponine. She broke box office records in the London West End production of "Grease" as Sandy, and then took the stage in the U.S. Broadway tours of "Grease" and "Funny Girl" playing Rizzo and Fanny Brice. Gibson also wowed critics as Belle in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," Gypsy Rose Lee in "Gypsy," The Narrator in the national tour of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," Cinderella in the national production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella," Velma Kelly in "Chicago," and Sally Bowles in the Broadway revival of "Cabaret." Gibson is now the composer and co-lyricist on a new musical in pre-production for Broadway: "The Flunky", written by Jimmy Van Patten. Gibson continues to dazzle with entertainment magic. She has bridged the gap between Pop Music and Broadway with her one-woman show "Pop Goes Broadway." She brings the best of both worlds to the stage singing some of her biggest pop hits and reprising her starring roles on Broadway. The "Original Pop Princess" is ready to pass the torch to the next generation of musical sensations. Her passion to mentor and foster young performers and songwriters has led her to create "Deborah Gibson's Electric Youth," a series of performing arts camps and songwriting/recording intensives. From number one hits and platinum albums to starring roles on Broadway, film and TV, Gibson is a true entertainer with talent and charisma.
Trivia random: Was the youngest person to write, produce, and perform a number one hit, "Foolish Beat". She was 17.
Citazione random: "Kids can see you don't have to have a sexy costume or shave your head or do crazy things to be successful. You just work at it and be normal." (1989, in reference to her success)

Trivia random: In the scene where Emma, Seiji and Lamar are interrogated, Baxter (Lorenzo Lamas) describes Emma as "a woman whose career is all washed-up." This is a pun on Deborah Gibson's music career, which reached its peak with the album Electric Youth in 1989, but floundered through the 1990s.
