Shark Attack 3: Megalodon is a 2002 direct-to-video film featuring a large shark of the megalodon species. It was directed by David Worth. It is based on the belief in the continued existence of the megalodon, although most scientists agree that it is unlikely that the species still exists.
[edit] Cult status
The film has built up a certain cult status born from both its ambitious low budget special effects and its somewhat tongue-in-cheek nature, exemplified by one particularly smutty line ad libbed by its star, John Barrowman, known as "The Line". This status has inspired a particularly long-running thread on the forum of the film magazine Empire's website.
[edit] Trivia
- Whether by accident or design this film is similar to Jaws III in that the film at first focuses on a smaller shark that later turns out to be an infant. The much larger mother then turns up towards the end of the film.
