My vote for worst movie ever goes to Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. (spoils)

I'm sure repeated viewing will make it a camp classic. I might have to own this just to laugh at the continuity problems. Like in the beginning - Deborah Gibson's character has no nail polish on her right hand (the one driving the sub). Cut to close-up of her left hand pushing buttons - with nail polish. Then the right hand pushes buttons - with nail polish. And the plane! The plane! Passenger looks out the window from the middle of the plane and sees shark jumping up 30,000+ feet. Cut to shark eating the plane head on! Cut to interior of plane with thrashing, screaming passengers. Cut to shark grabbing the plane in the middle! So real! Then the destroyer shooting guns fore and aft - at the shark coming at it from the side! (And what's with the orange deck?) And the map showing attack sites. Why were the ONLY attacks in the Atlantic up around Labrador when the attacks in the Pacific were all over the place?

Have I mentioned the dialog? I know there was a script - the director (who used an alias) also has a writing credit. There are so many bad (potentially classically bad) lines. They should release this theatrically for midnight movies.

How long before Deborah and Lorenzo start doing cons for this?
