action

During mine work in the Congo, workers come across a gigantic crocodile that immediately attacks them. The mine operators then hire the experienced big game hunter Nigel Putnam, who is supposed to catch the monster, which he finally succeeds in doing. Meanwhile, a huge shark and the US Navy face a confrontation that kills a warship and all of its crew. Only Dr. Terry McCormick, who is already working on a weapon to ward off the fish monster, can save himself - and is hired by CIA agent Hutchinson to help kill the shark. Nigel, who has loaded the captured crocodile onto a freighter and wants to deliver it, unexpectedly becomes the next target of the voracious fish, which attacks and sinks him, whereby the reptile can escape from the ship. Nigel survives and is hired by Hutchinson to help stop the angry beasts; much to the displeasure of Terry, who has already made an unpleasant acquaintance with Nigel and, like him, is averse to his current counterpart. For Agent Hutchinson the question now arises not only how to make her arguing "colleagues" aware of the essentials, but also how to stop the apparently deeply hostile monsters that have left a trail of chaos and destruction ...

reception

Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus , shot in Los Angeles , was consistently rated very poorly to poorly. The critics of the TV Spielfilm magazine gave a symbolic “thumbs down” and gave a succinct verdict: “inconsistencies and cheap effects”.

“This is a bad movie. And he knows. And has endless fun with it [...] If you want trash, you get the full load here. And will have tears in his eyes with laughter when you see ... adorable, silly monsters fighting. "

"Cheap C-horror that doesn’t come close to conveying the pleasure that the author may have had while coming up with the hair-raising plot."
