Debbie Gibson battles Mega Shark and Giant Octopus Stuff Terminator Salvation and Star Trek, this is what true sci-fi movie buffs have been waiting for: A titanic struggle for control of the world's oceans between a Mega Shark and a Giant Octopus, witnessed by the decorative Debbie Gibson: Terrific. In case you were wondering, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus is helmed by Jack …
Wouldn't it be great if the giant octopus' tentacles were anacondas? And if the mega shark was being ridden by one of the apes from Congo, or a Sea Devil?
My bet is on the octopus, because octopuses can carry guns. Where would an octopus get hold of a gun? A gun shop, obviously.
Check out their other films. They're so hilariously bad they're great. Most of their films are cunningly titled to coincide with mainstream Hollywood films coming out at the same time... eg.
'The Terminators' (released recently as Terminator Salvation comes out)
'Sunday School Musical' (released at the same time as High School Musical 2)
'Snakes on a Train' (I'll give you one guess)
Seriously, download one of these, and make sure you have LOTS of beer and a good sense of humour handy.
Giant flying shark sighted - target acquired, COIL laser ready . . . FIRE!
BOOOOOMMMM!!!!! Instant sushi.
Giant octopus located, tell the 60 foot radioactive armored killer spider cannibals from the frozen north, hey guys, free lunch this way!!!!
Burp.
Sorted.
Just in time for the commercial.
Now to sleep, perchance to dream . . . ;-)
Actually:
"There are three forms of the plural of octopus; namely, octopuses, octopi, and octopodes. Currently, octopuses is the most common form in the US as well as the UK; octopodes is rare, and octopi is often objectionable.[25]
The Oxford English Dictionary (2004 update[26]) lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order); it labels octopodes "rare", and notes that octopi derives from the mistaken assumption that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is (Latinized) Greek, from oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους), gender masculine, whose plural is oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες). If the word were native to Latin, it would be octōpēs ('eight-foot') and the plural octōpedes, analogous to centipedes and mīllipedes, as the plural form of pēs ('foot') is pedes. The actual Latin word is "polypus," which does render the plural "polypi." In modern Greek, it is called khtapódi (χταπόδι), gender neuter, with plural form khtapódia (χταπόδια).
Chambers 21st Century Dictionary[27] and the Compact Oxford Dictionary[28] list only octopuses, although the latter notes that octopodes is "still occasionally used"; the British National Corpus has 29 instances of octopuses, 11 of octopi and 4 of octopodes. Merriam-Webster 11th Collegiate Dictionary lists octopuses and octopi, in that order; Webster's New World College Dictionary lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order).
Fowler's Modern English Usage states that "the only acceptable plural in English is octopuses," and that octopi is misconceived and octopodes pedantic."

In amongst my excitement a few questions come to mind.
1. I see Iowa class battleship. Battleship has a kitchen. Kitchen needs a chef. Where is Seagal?
2. What's the love interest? Ah-hah - Debbie Gibson you say. Sequel I say: BABY HALF SHARK HALF OCTOPUS vs (anyone)!!!
3. According to the other posters above, if Asylum vaguely copy real Hollywood films, then what is this particular movie based on?!?!?!?!
i recon you are quite correct sir
seems to film is available via the nefarious parts of teh interwebz and a look a thumbnail preview image of the film shows 20 still images taken spaced evenly throughout the film - only the 19th one shows a bit of shark - no sign of the octopus though
No movie about mutant animals can possibly be as good as Tail Sting.
It has giant scorpions. Sorry, did I say "giant" scorpions - they change size from scene to scene.
It's so bad that it's impossible to stop watching - especially once you've noticed the boom mic. (and the boom mic operator wearing white shorts, centre screen in a blackened room).
The best film I'll ever see, no doubt about it!
Now, if only Debbie Gibson was in it...
@TeeCee
hehe - good point. I must be losing the tentative grip I <strikethrough>have</strikethrough> HAD on reality.
@Daniel Wilkie
Oh crap. I did, didn't I. That's a pretty poor show. Disregard all of it. As we all know EVERYTHING is wrong on Wiki. NO EXCEPTIONS. In fact the mere act of posting something on Wiki makes it not true - FACT. If anyone posts certain bits of physics on there, the world will shoot off into space, we'll all float away, boiling seas, the works. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO STOP WIKI.

Oh, and BTW - 1 free internets to anyone who can find out the collective noun for a group of octopodes. Or indeed for any cephalopods. There doesn't seem to be one!
(Octopus is technically the collective noun for a load of octopus meat, but that doesn't count)
