It's easy to see "Megashark Versus Giant Octopus" as a metaphor for Debbie Gibson's career versus Lorenzo Lamas' career. You have two prehistoric behemoths duking it out– one with a killer instinct for conquering, the other a multi-talented presence designed to expand and capture its prey. Locked in a struggle for dominance before a surprised public who doesn't want either of them there.
It's here that Debbie Gibson meets the Japanese researcher. Looks like the director intended there to be "sparks" from their first meeting, but it ends up being just a creepy pause.
The following is a line from the movie, verbatim:
"The polar ice caps are melting, and maybe this is our comeuppance." -Debbie Gibson
And here is your standard, by-the-numbers research montage:
(I'm sure they got a lot accomplished with armed guards patrolling the lab)
Only In My Dreams:
You would think that two animals the size of Detroit would show up on people's radars, but they gave EVERYONE the slip ALL THE TIME.
The radar display interested me, so I looked up Acurex to see if it were a real company. It is.
Overall grade: F
