where the hell be all these uncharted island where prehistoric monster lurk and evil doctor perform their experiment and madman hold the ultimate karate championship and and the uber rich hunt human for sport . i have no idea there be still so many uncharted island out there and but if you take into account the number of movie that utilize one of these mysterious island a a location and you would have to assume that there be at least 50 of these sucker out there . it always wind up feel so damned convenient and i immediately deduct point from any movie that use this hackneyed device . hammerhead be the story of a mad scientist who be conduct experiment on one of these uncharted island and so the movie already have a lot to make up for before it even begin . the island in this movie use to belong to dr. moreau and but have recently be purchase by the re animator himself and jeffrey comb . old jeffrey be do some kind of cut edge stem cell research and which have lead him to start work with shark while search for a cure for cancer . if that sound familiar and that because this be roughly the same basic set up a the smart shark facility in deep blue sea and not to mention a host of other nu image movie . so apparently and jeffrey son be die of cancer which prompt our mad doctor to start experiment on his progeny . he do some kind of super fancy gene splicing and so forth and turn his son into a shark man . william forsythe lead a crew of unknown actor to the island to look into the doctor experiment . if someone would have give him a sailor hat and william would have be a dead ringer for the skipper from gilligan island . in typical bond villain fashion and the doctor decide that all of these intruder would make nice chum for his son . not chums and like buddy . chum and like shark food . so enter shark boy who start stalk the skipper and his cohort all over the island . they and of course and make half hearted attempt to escape and be thwart over and over again while be chase by a guy in a rubber shark man suit . the movie do not make up any of the point that it lose for take place on one of those dastardly deserted island . it funny that this movie be call hammerhead and it make me think of an old joke . why do you hit yourself in the head with a hammer . because it feel so good when you stop . that pretty much how this movie be . the only reason to watch it be because it feel so good when it over .
