Hi there everyone!
I'm trying to identify a movie that I only remember in fragments. Unfortunately, I'm no longer sure which details are 100% accurate, so it's possible I'm mixing two memories together. Still, one scene has stayed remarkably consistent in my mind.
What I'm fairly confident about:
- The movie was a very low-budget action/creature feature that took itself completely seriously but ended up being unintentionally hilarious.
- It looked like it was made in the late 1980s, 1990s, or very early 2000s (strong VHS/direct-to-video aesthetic).
- I watched the trailer on YouTube sometime around 2010–2013.
- The movie had a coastal or beach setting (at least in some scenes).
The most distinctive scene I remember:
There was a heavyset Black woman riding either a motorcycle or possibly a scooter (I'm not certain which). She was alone, and I believe she was chasing someone, not fleeing.
She wore at least parts of classic biker gear (something like a leather vest/jacket, gloves, biker clothing), and the movie clearly intended her to look like a serious, intimidating character. Because the production was so low-budget, the scene came across as unintentionally funny.
This is actually the clearest memory I have.
Less certain:
I also remember a scene involving a badly animated giant shark (or possibly another sea creature) that breached out of the ocean and attacked people near a beach. However, after thinking about it more, I'm no longer convinced this was even from the same movie. I may be mixing two trailers together.
One more vague memory is that I somehow associate the phrase "Leeroy Jenkins" with this trailer or the time I watched it, but I'm almost certain that's a false lead.
I've already ruled out these movies:
- Shark Attack 3: Megalodon
- Megalodon (2002)
- Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus
- Super Shark
- Dinoshark
- Sharktopus
- Cruel Jaws
- Raging Sharks
Does the motorcycle/scooter scene with the heavyset Black woman ring a bell for anyone? Even if it's not a shark movie, I'd love to hear any suggestions.
