Even with two heads, this shark was to stupid to see this would fail.
What’s worse than the beaches being terrorized by a blood thirsty shark? College kids on a boat being terrorized by a TWO HEADED blood-thirsty shark… made out of rubber, and Charlie O’Connell’s acting.
Aboard the “Sea King” Professor Babish (Charlie O’Connell) and his wife, Dr. Babish (Carmen Electra) lead a group of college kids (including Brooke Hogan) for a month at sea. As the kids are learning not only marine-biology and how to get the perfect tan, they quickly learn the sea is a dangerous place. Stranded off the coast of a atoll, the boat must go under some repairs. Babish and the kids decide to check out the island and see if they can find any sea life. However back on the ship, the sea life finds them. The captain is attacked and killed by a 2-headed shark. In the chaos, the good doctor, the professor (wait am I talking about the right thing) have to save the kids and themselves from the shark, and hilarity… I mean bloodshed ensues.
Obviously 2-Headed Shark Attack is Charlie O’Connell’s way of showing his brother Jerry that he too can do a movie with killer fish. This movie was bunk from the word go. Charlie is a “professor”, Electra is a doctor… of medicine, and Brooke is some sort of Mcgyver than can do pretty much anything, including weld under water and repair outboard motors. The premise that there is a killer two headed shark out there is more plausible than these three, and the parts they play.
The Asylum has really out done themselves here. The acting from most if not all of the students, Brooke included, is bottom of the barrel garbage. One kid get super pissed off that earthquakes keep occurring on the island that it made me do a spit-take. The end of the movie the atoll has sunk in to the ocean and they are worried about getting eaten yet none of the three surviving students wants to climb up on the sand bar that out of the water, and only ten feet behind them. One of the girls has the bright idea to blow up the shark with a gas can and a Zippo lighter (that’s been submerged in water for an hour, but that’s beside the point, I guess) and proceeds to try it. After she is eaten and her head is literally bitten off, she manages to light the can and explosion. Literally seconds afterward the rescue chopper shows up and saves the other two.
2-Headed Shark Attack does one thing really well, It shows that Piranha was actually a really well put together movie. If you are bored, like I was, and have nothing better to watch on SyFy (where else) then sit down, and get ready for a laugh. Extra points for the Babish couple’s death scene in which they completely rip off the old people’s death scene in Deep Impact. How original. The only horrifying thing about the movie was seeing Brooke Hogan’s boobs jiggling when she ran, and all I could think about was that her father’s do the same exact thing. Ugh!
