10 Movies So Crazy They Shouldn't Exist
3. Titanic II
"100 years later, lightning strikes twice" - that was the tagline for 2010's Titanic II.
Despite the title and all it implies, Titanic II isn't actually a sequel to the James Cameron movie that took home 14 Academy Awards and over $2 billion at the box office. Instead, Titanic II sees the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's doomed maiden voyage marked by the launching of the Titanic II vessel; a vessel that goes the reverse route of the original ship, setting sail from New York to Southampton.
In case you hadn't guessed, Titanic II is of course from those folks over at The Asylum, the production company responsible for such classics as Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, The Da Vinci Treasure, Nazis at the Center of the Earth, Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, and the Sharknado franchise.
With a hamfisted message about global warming, this low-budget effort throws a tsunami in along with giant ice glaciers as the Titanic II runs into a similar fate as its predecessor. The CGI-rendered effects are awful, the acting painful, and the film solely exists to capitalise on the success of something else - which, as seen over the decades, is pretty much par for the course when it comes to The Asylum.
Also par for the course with The Asylum is that Titanic II got its own sequel in 2022 with Titanic 666, which sees a third Titanic vessel terrorised by ghosts. Yes, really.
