Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus is a 2010 American monster horror film produced by The Asylum. It stars Jaleel White, Gary Stretch, Robert Picardo, Dylan Vox, Hannah Cowley and Sarah Lieving. The film is a sequel to the 2009 film Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus but contains little of the original cast.
A megalodon battles with a crocosaurus causing massive destruction. The US Army has to try and destroy the havoc-creating monsters…
To promote the film, The Asylum participated in a competition to make the next Doritos commercial for Super Bowl XLV. In the commercial, the Megalodon attacks a naval fleet while Capt. Smalls (Michael Gaglio) asks if anything will satisfy its hunger. Then he hears a crunch and sees the janitor eating a bag of Doritos. In the next scene, a helicopter carries a giant Dorito chip over the ocean. The Megalodon jumps and eats the chip before fleeing from the scene as the whole crew celebrate.

Reviews:
” …a tedious and horrific mess that at least gives audiences what it wants: A big croc eating people, a big shark eating people, and two gargantuan stock CGI animals battling it out for the fate of Earth. Or something.” Cinema Crazed
“This “mega” sequel tries coasting by on the mentality that if you’re watching a movie called Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus, you’re already willing to accept anything regardless of how incoherent it is or if it is riddled with careless continuity errors, both technical and script-wise. Movies like this always tread a fine line between anything-goes fun and merely insulting your intelligence…” Dread Central
“The shark and the croc both do ridiculous and over the top things, which I can’t gleam any enjoyment out of because it’s just not funny. The shark swallowing a submarine, the croc bursting through cliff faces, it’s more than a suspension of disbelief will take you to the point where you have to wonder if The Asylum set out to make these movies so goddamn terrible.” I Spit on Your Taste
“I have nothing against movies that can’t be taken seriously, nothing against any movie, for that matter, as long as it provides entertainment. And this is where Mega Whatsit Vs Massive Thing productions fail. There’s no entertainment to be derived from watching something that is simply bad. Not ‘so-bad-it’s-good’; just bad. Furthermore, there is a wealth of talent in the independent filmmaking world that would give anything to have the budget that was squandered on this non-entity, or even a shot at the distribution it has received.” HorrorTalk
“What really sends the movie into the sh*tter is the fact that it’s low on monster mashing. What’s worse is that the monster-less stretches of the film are downright painful to sit through. And once the titular creatures do start fighting, it’s nothing to write home about. The good news is that Robert (Gremlins 2) Picardo is great as a submarine captain.” The Video Vacuum
