Shark Attack 2

Mutated Great White sharks are gobbling up sea divers and surfers off the coast of South Africa, more than a nod to Jaws, it even manages to squeeze in some of the latter's famous music. It's many years since I watched Shark Attack (1999) and I remember nothing about it, going by this sequel that's probably no bad thing. This movie is set in Cape Town yet there's barely a genuine local accent to be heard, the place appears to be populated mainly by Americans, even the Mayor. We get a famous shark hunter from Australia but the actor's English accent keeps slipping out. For some reason sharks roar, sadly this was to become normal for countless other bad shark movies to come. A lot of stock footage is used, probably the best thing here, but some of the shark effects are laughably poor. However the attacks are quite vicious, the movie doesn't lack guts! Plenty of nice Cape Town scenery but the film drags in places, in particular during the predictable love story scenes. Bad shark movie but trust me there are far worse out there.

I never saw the first Shark Attack...and I only caught this one on TV, but good F**king god, this movie was stupid. There was so much stock footage in this, I'm surprised natianal geographic isn't calling for it's documentary footage back. I feel stupider for watching this sh*t. The CGI sharks were so bad, I felt like i was being treated to a 10 year olds drawing. and hey, SHARKS CAN'T SWIM BACKWARDS! I don't care if they are genetically altered or whatever...they would drown if they did. oh, yeah lets screw the night before we are going on a really deadly mission to kill 6 sharks.

In this film, there is a scene where two kids are playing with a radio-controlled boat. I was one of those kids (the older one) and as someone who was actually in the film, take this from me: this film is BAD. There are 2 reasons i've watched this movie more than once: the fact that on the beach scenes, I can spot many people I know messing about in the background, and the fact that it is hilarious to watch as a whole.

The continuity errors, the growling sharks, the bad acting and the cheesy, dubbed "american" accents (since when did South Africans have American accents??!!! Even i was dubbed over!) make it a laugh-a-minute B-Movie not to be taken seriously. So, as much as it pains me, i would have to recommend this movie to all B-Movie fanatics and anyone wanting a laugh.

And just for interests sake, the building used for the "WATER WORLD" aquarium was recently torn down as it had become derelict and was a home for crack-heads. ;)!

I love creature flicks - especially Shark movies ! I had already seen the original "Shark Attack" film and just had to see this follow up ! As direct to video movies go - it ain't that bad - some neat underwater photography and shark attack sequences - The acting is pretty lame but this is not exactly "Oscar" material !Some of the actual shark effects are pretty hilarious - they almost look inflatable and at one point the shark looks like a small "wind up" toy you would play with in the bath ! Overall - not bad for a night in with your mates and a few beers !!

There is a part where the woman and the "marine boy" are looking for the shark on the boat and it shows the shark swimming away, it was a dolphin not a shark. Lmao this movie is so cheesy!!
