QA Note Regarding Spoilers
AThe following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. Spoiler tags have been used sparingly in order to make the page more readable.
QCan sharks or octopi really walk on land?
AAn octopus can survive on land for twenty minutes or more and are often reported by aquarium workers or pet owners as having left its cage and taken a walk. Some species have even been seen leaving the water to hunt on land. Sharks cannot survive on land and most species require a steady flow of water over their gills to breath as they lack the muscles to pump water through their gills on their own. The addition of seemingly ornamental spikes on the gills of the sharktopus presumably grants it the magical ability to not suffocate.
QDoes producer Roger Corman have a cameo?
AYes he does. Roger Corman can be seen about 12 minutes into the film as the bum who watches as a woman who just found a gold coin in the sand is carried off by the sharktopus, after which the bum shrugs and picks up the coin.
