Top 10 Ridiculous Shark Movies


just when you thought it was safe for
another bad movie night welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
smile before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re ranking the
most over-the-top or notoriously crazy
flicks involving killer sharks for the
record we’re not saying we don’t enjoy
some of these movies or even
legitimately dig them however our
choices all have to possess some sort of
ridiculous premise that makes them stand
out from the crowded school of shark
flick competition how big is that what’s
the largest trunk that ever existed
number 10 hammerhead shark frenzy also
known as shark man you know sharks do
never succumb to seas Jeffrey Combs was
no stranger to playing mad scientists
prior to signing on to hammerhead in
2005 after all Combs was already a cult
sensation thanks to his performance in
the horror classic re-animator it’s
going to believe a talking head get a
job in a sideshow hammerhead benefits
greatly from its casting of combs as the
lead villain whose obsession with curing
his son’s cancer leads to him turning
the boy into a vicious shark
human-hybrid
I created the perfect organism oh my god
Kingu lost it meanwhile the crew of
hammerhead takes their cues from Jaws
and show the titular creature only
sparingly using point of view shots and
brief glimpses to hide the shoddy cgi
work still hammerhead is still more
competently made than many other films
on this list so that has gotta count for
number nine super shark what the hell is
it whatever it is it’s coming back
you’re gone we’ve already mentioned
shoddy CGI once in this list but buckle
up because we’re gonna be referencing
that a lot here with these movies
case in point 2011 s super shark which
couldn’t seem to be bothered to even
attempt anything approaching quality and
sure some of its lead actors seem to at
least be trying to keep a straight face
with the ridiculous material on hand but
the simple fact is super shark rips off
its plot from Jaws adds nothing to the
genre and exists in its own vacuum of
idiotic entertainment for an easily
number eight Avalanche sharks they’ve
tasted human flesh I know I’ve seen it
before do you like your bad shark movies
to buck the aquatic trend for something
a bit more original if so the next film
on our list is for you
Avalanche sharks froze the ocean over
for its take on a fish feeding frenzy as
terribly animated sharks swim through
the snow in search of their prey the
overall effect is somewhat similar to
2012 sand sharks in that they’re
moderately well shot during the dialogue
scene but the actual creature effects
are so abysmal that they make the end
results absolutely impossible to take
seriously
[Music]
hey what do you know we have actual
sharks featured in our next film no CGI
nonsense here Mako the jaws of death is
also one of the few legitimately
enjoyable films on this list as it
actually arrives with an inventive
premise Richard Jaeckel sunny seems to
possess a telepathic connection with
sharks and the film uses this idea to
portray them as sympathetic victims of
humanity I found that I had a decision
that day this is solid driving fair all
the way with tents underwater
photography and jiggles straightforward
performance to hold the film together if
you’re looking for a 70 shark flick that
tries to do something other than a pea
Oz then this Mako is for you number 6
two-headed shark attack the asylum is
well-known to schlock movie fans as
purveyors of shamelessly low-budget
tie-in cash-grab films known as mock
busters now two-headed shark attack may
not have been riding the coattails of
any specific film when it hit rental and
VOD in 2012 but it definitely has all of
middling to downright bad acting check
gratuitous ta double check shark effects
that look like the unfinished work of a
first year graphic design student Hugh
betcha then again it is called
two-headed shark attack so what were we
number 5 Jersey Shore shark attack using
that Vinny stuff what you’ve any of any
known that no bro Betty bananas hey have
you ever wondered what an awful shark
movie and an awful TV series would do if
they somehow inhabited the same universe
no well neither have we but we’re gonna
talk about it anyway
Jersey Shore shark attack is perhaps the
film with the least pride in what it
does cranking out a premise that rides
on the wave of a popular reality craze
and combines it with the laziest shark
movie tropes imaginable the acting is
amateur hour
for the most part Jack Scalia still
delivers and the effects are some of the
worst ever put to screen leaving this as
one ridiculous shark movie best left for
[Music]
number four mega shark versus giant
octopus captain I’m picking up a massive
underwater disturbance the asylum
returns yet again on our list this time
with the first in their series that pits
a mega shark against various mutated
creatures in a fight to the finish his
first fight was titled Mega Shark vs.
giant octopus and delivers pretty much
what you’d expect from the
it’s nowhere near as ridiculous as
future installments would get and hey it
stars pop singer Debbie Gibson and
Lorenzo Lamas of renegade Fame so that’s
something right
honestly fans of campy shark flicks
could do worse than this one but yeah
we’d still recommend you watch any of
number three ghost shark ladies and
gentlemen the great white shark nature’s
perfect killing machine until me and my
daddy do all right we’ll give this one
an A for effort ghost shark at least
tries to do something new with an
established genre which was no mean feat
when it hit TV screens in 2013 the
ghosts effects to their credit could
have been a lot worse
and it looks like most of the folks
involved with this one from cast a crew
are trying their best to have fun with a
silly premise does the idea of a dead
shark haunting the living make any sense
no but who cares ghost shark was made to
be enjoyed with friends drinks and one
giant grain of salt ghosts are real as
real as the lies this town was built on
roger corman
is an industry icon a filmmaker and
producer who gave many Hollywood
superstars their first shots in the
business he’s also a man who knew how to
make money thanks to a career producing
some of the exploitation world’s most
enjoyable films Sharktopus was produced
by Corman for the Syfy network and was
just one in what had been decades of the
Corman factories conveyor belt of killer
so is the film as fun as the man’s 70s
and 80s output well no but there isn’t
knowing nod and a wink to the
proceedings here that make the idea of a
shark and octopus-like fate
come on you knew this had to be number
one right sure there had already been
tons of low-budget shark disasters prior
to the release of sharknado in 2013 but
rarely had one entered the public
consciousness in quite the same way
the mainstream media for one reason or
another picked up on the ludicrous
premise of shark-infested water spouts
flooding the city of Los Angeles and
the sharknado series even managed to
earn itself five sequels which is
probably more than anyone at sci fi or
the asylum expected when they greenlit
the film for development good on you
