A while back, a friend loaned me Sharktopus on DVD, and though it falls short of the repeat-viewing qualities inherent in Tremors (I really love that movie), it was certainly good for a few laughs and some great quotable lines. Such lines include "Oh no, not like this!" from an eminent victim and this classic from the head scientist, "They're more accurate when shot with a grenade launcher and, since we only have two darts, accuracy is key."
The filming had a lot of the terrible shaky camera stuff that I have trouble watching for long. There's gratuitous women in bikinis in various suggestively posed positions, including one who just found a coin with a metal detector before being attacked and the pervy old guy watching it all shrugs, retrieves the coin, and walks off.
I started to say that Deep Blue Sea was better (it is), but it depends on what you're looking for--this was a SyFy original, afterall, so you pretty much know what level of cinema to expect. Plus it had a trailer for Dinocroc vs Supergator--oh yeah.
I'm afraid I still have to give this one a Bad, but it has solid So Bad It's Good moments, so toss it on in the background while doing other things sometime.
