7 Dumb Films Based On The Titanic You Won’t Believe Got Made

6. Titanic II Tries To Trick You Into Thinking James Cameron Made A Sequel

Tii You probably heard a couple of years ago that schlock factory Asylum turned their eyes away from sharks and tornados to make the misleadingly titled Titanic II. Misunderstood by many (probably the same people who mistook the devious Transmorphers for Michael Bay€™s higher in budget, equal in quality Transformers) as a sequel to James Cameron€™s smash hit (people even mused interest if Leonardo DiCaprio was involved), it is a disgusting mess of film that got a lot of flack for its disrespect to both the tragedy and the Oscar winning classic, in many cases sidestepping the fact it€™s just an awful movie. Ignoring how cheap it looks and how terrible the acting is, Titanic II is really more of a straight up disaster movie that conjures up memories of The Poseidon Adventure. It€™s a survival tale where a group of passengers have to deal with various nautical problems, such as raining icebergs and tsunami€™s travelling faster than the speed of sound. Suddenly Sharknado isn't too much of a stretch. So yeah, it€™s not really about the Titanic, but the general €˜plot€™ (as well as the tacky advertising) relies entirely on its memory.
