Dino Shark and Sharktopus?

    I swear those Wacky fun loving clueless goons over SyFy(why did they change from SciFi is beyound me!) Love themselves some cheese ball monster flicks. At least this time they Scored Roger Corman to be master of cermonies in bringing us these improbable beasties.

     First up we have Dino Shark! When I first heard about this I expected something along the lines of Shark Attack 3 or Megaladon, but no I was quite surprised to see a T-rex with fins, kinda like a slim Deploriadon.


     Before Roger Corman signed on for DinoShark He had another freaky Shark monster in mind to film, the Sharktopus! If you ever saw the crapfest Monstershark aka Devilfish then you have a vague idea of what this critter will look like. The reason for this improbable amalgmation of marine life to be running amok on the high seas is that it was bio engineered by the  United States Navy to combat Somali Pirates and it gets out of there control.  Like we didn't see that coming... Roger Corman says this is still coming to a tv set near you! I wonder if we will get a Dinoshark versus Sharktopus follow-op along the lines of Supergator verus Dinocroc?

Gamera versus Gassharp

   Few people know that Gamera was supposed to go up against an all new threat after the climactic fish fry ending of Gamera versus Zigra. His next battle was to be an all or nothing match against Gassharp. Now your all thinking what in gods Name is a Gassharp? Well Gassharp was/is a gigantic snake/slug monster ( much more meancing than the the one in the "lost" film Thunder of a Gigantic Serpent. wich I will disscuss in a later post.), it is an interesting choice. The only other serpentine kaiju I can recall of the top of my head is Manda from Toho's Atragon (orignal appearance.). But he/it was more of a chinese style dragon than a true snake.

     Sadly for us giant monster fans Daia Went bankrupt before the film could be completed. I had hoped Gassharp would have showed up the Gamera revial flicks but it just wasn't meant to be.
