Review of Devil Fish (1984) by Archibald T — 22 Mar 2011

Italians trying to act like Floridians, touchy dolphins, sloppy editing, shots of things that don't connect well with a scene, Euro tantrums, a gratuitous scrotum shot, a sharktopus, electricians being criticized for being electricians, shitty doctors, marine biologists who drink to much, paleontology fail, beer, beer, and more beer, computers that sound like Stephen Hawking, a random sex on the beach scene set to soft core porn music, when defeating a shark/octopus use a small axe, underwater sequences, very very bad underwater sequences, more beer and soft core porn music, a lame villain who has a lame death speech, a scantily clad Darryl Hannah look a like, a gratuitous butt-crack shot and lastly flamethrowers help in destroying a Devil Fish. Not only you destroy it, but you can serve it as a lovely dish for you and your friends.

If it wasn't for Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffing this film I probably would never see it. Especially at the end with the gang laughing non stop at a dumb joke the characters in the film made about vacationing in the mountains! Crow's laughing is hysterical. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehahahahahahahahah!

Overall, it still gets one star for being a very bad film that you can laugh at. Better viewed with the MST3K crew. Makes it less bad in some ways.
