10 Films That You Never Realised Doctor Who Actors Were In
4. John Barrowman In Shark Attack 3
Also known as Shark Attack 3: Megalodon which is much more dramatic, especially if you say it in a ominious deep voice. This straight to video sequel (and, as its title suggests, part three of the universally panned 'Shark Attack' franchise) was released in 2002 and it's safe to say that it was a unanimous failure, so much so that it's now widely considered to be one of the worst shark movies of all time. Blimey. To all intents and purposes, though, it does what it says on the tin. Two researchers - one of whom is Ben Carpenter, played by John Barrowman - discover a colossal shark tooth off the Mexican coast, the most menacing shark to ever rule the waters mercilessly feeds on anything that crosses its path and they must hunt the fierce killer and destroy it before there's no one left to stop its reign of terror. Simples. Unfortunately its rather promising - *ahem* - premise isn't enough to distract from the unconvincing special effects, size-changing shark and cheesy dialogue. And then there's that infamous line (John's character asks his co-star if he can take her home and eat her p***y) which is just downright bizarre. Even a red-faced John Barrowman himself has admitted that he did it for the money so at least he can laugh about it. You too can laugh about it (trust us, you'll be on the floor!) and all for the bargain price of 5p on Amazon. It'd be rude not to.
