![]() ![]() That isn't the only bizarre thing though, far from it. The makers of this particular effort seem to be consciously making a bad film with a rather bizarre set piece in the middle of the film where the trio of scientists spend about five minutes hunched over a chemistry set trying to turn a bunch of multi-coloured gloop into the liquid equivalent of a day-glo vest. I'm pretty certain that this film is deliberately bad as even the most incompetent of film makers can make a semi-serious bad film, just watch the Sci-Fi channel if you need evidence of this. Her brilliant B-movie performance is matched, not only by Lamas, but by Lawlor and Chao the former with Irish accent and the latter with a suitably banal love affair with Gibson. Gibson is certainly one of the highlights of this film, looking remarkably good and also pulling off an uncannily accurate imitation of the Keanu Reeves patented blank look, and with a pretty nifty right hook too (probably perfected when scrapping with Tiffany back in the day). This is kind of borne out by her performance here, despite evidence on iMDB that she has plenty of theatrical experience. But Debbie Gibson? This was a shock in itself, being effectively out of the spotlight for eons in the UK at least, as I never knew she had any acting experience. Lorenzo Lamas has been in many bad movies, so just seeing his name on the cover tells you all you really need to know (as if the title hadn't already given you a clue, eh?). Oh yes, the mega shark and giant octopus are loose. The combination of this marine head banging and the low frequencies emitted from the sonar pod cause the glacier to crack, unleashing two enormous behemoths that have been trapped in mortal combat for tens of millions of years. ![]() The sonar sends the local marine life completely mad and they start banging their heads against the glacier in much the way as if Status Quo were playing a gig locally. Unfortunately for her, some evil US military dudes are in the exact same area testing low frequency sonar in an experimental secret mission kind of thing that inevitably goes horrendously wrong. ![]() Emma is so maverick that she decides to borrow a rather expensive submersible to go and look at some whales near a huge glacier. But now she's back, after changing her name to Emma McNeil and re-training as a marine biologist, and a maverick one at that. Back in the 80's Debbie Gibson had a chart duel with Tiffany before fading away. Introduction The future only belongs in the hands of itself And the future is electric youth Except it wasn't. ![]()
