History Film / Sharktopus

** At another point n the movie two guys are discussing horrible ways to die. One sees the friend get dragged down by Sharktopus and stares in what looks like utter boredom before his turn. [[DullSurprise. "Oh. No. Not. Like. This."]]

A Creator/SciFiChannel Original Movie released September 25, 2010, this film centers on the rampage of a half-shark half-octopus whose handlers have lost control of it.

* ItsBeenDone: Take a look at an earlier film with a suspiciously similar plot (minus the military angle) and a suspiciously similar monster: ''DevilFish'', an Italian ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' ripoff made in the 80's. You know these people are scraping the bottom of the barrel when they rip off a godawful Italian ripoff. Thankfully, this film doesn't take itself as seriously.

** [[http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/07/sharktopus_is_coming.php This post]] by biologist P.Z. Myers mentions that [[AHeadAtEachEnd a creature with two mouths and no method of waste disposal]] will eventually explode.
*** If any evidence of a octopus mouth shows up.

*** And it probably should've done so once it'd eaten its second or third victim, considering how stubby its body is. Not much room in there.

* HeyItsThatGuy: I guess [[NachoLibre Esqueleto]] got tired of wrestling.

* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:It's implied the second Sharktopus in the sequel starts attacking the Pteracuda to protect the woman that raised it after its control device is destroyed.]]

The film would later go on to inspire ''Piranhaconda'', a sort of SpiritualSuccessor in 2012. Currently two sequels to Sharktopus are in development, the first of which, ''Sharktopus vs Pteracuda'' will be released in August of 2014.

* BigBad: Vlad in the sequel. While he's working for an offscreen boss, he's the one responsible for Pteracuda's rampage.

* [[spoiler:StuffBlowingUp]]: Apparently, the best way to kill a Sharktopus.

* MyEyesAreUpHere: Said by Stacy to Pez.

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Stacy, who's been pursuing the Sharktopus throughout the entire film just to get a scoop, has repeatedly witnessed just how dangerous it is, has already been rescued once before from being eaten alive by a timely intervention of the heroes, and yet ''still'' tries to document it when it already killed her cameraman and is approaching her at the end.]]

* AllPartOfTheShow: Some of the beachgoers, including a pair of women and a father and son, wonder aloud if one of the titular character's attacks is all part of a show. One obnoxious teen lingers even after it starts eating people on-stage, snickering and saying "Awesome!".
* AlwaysABiggerFish: In the beginning of the film a beach girl is attacked by a shark while swimming off the shoreline, but the Sharktopus saves her by devouring it.

* ImmuneToBullets: The Sharktopus can withstand machine gun fire.
