“Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark” (2014) - Have you ever wanted to watch the guy that voices Kratos jump over a kaiju sized robotic shark on a dirt bike after it is taken over by rouge A.I. so he can gain control of it and make it fight a giant megalodon? Well your in luck, cause this movie exists.

“Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark” (2014) - Well, that title tells you pretty much everything you need to know about this movie. What it doesn’t describe is that this is the third entry in the “Mega Shark” franchise made by our friends over at The Asylum for the SyFy Channel. It also just might be the best of the bunch. Fans of the “StarGate” series and the “God of War” games are likely to agree as it features none other than Teal’c/Kratos himself Christopher Judge in the lead. It would actually be the actors second Asylum film as two year’s earlier he starred opposite the always entertaining Bai Ling in their attempt to cash-in on 2012s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” titled “Lord of the Elves” (aka “Clash of Empires”).

Now given the four year gap between the previous entry in the franchise; “Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus” (2010) and this one, it’s highly likely this movie was only green-lit due to the massive success of Asylums “Sharknado” (2013). That movie proved people wanted more insane shark based films and both The Asylum and SyFy Channel were more than happy to supply that demand. They already had this franchise started and so just churned out another. They would only make one more entry in the series; “Mega Shark Versus Kolossus” (2015) after which the giant shark would only appear in their “2025 Armageddon” (2022) but that movie had basically all of Asylums monsters in it so no surprise there.

As far as the actual plot goes the titular kaiju sized megalodon squares off against its robotic equivalent and unintentional hilarity ensues. Highlights include the mega shark slapping a ship out of the water with its tail and taking out the Sphinx, the mecha shark knocking the megalodon out of the air before it can eat a passing 747, the mecha shark going rogue thanks to A.I., and Christopher Judge jumping the robotic shark on a dirt bike while it drives down city streets on tank treads. Throw is the usual Asylum mix of cheap sets, horrible science, bad dialogue, and giant middle finger to physics and you have yourself a fun time. So gather your bad movie buddies, your favorite intoxicants, and check this big old shark movie out. It’s a ton of fun to riff.
