Goofs

While on the boat, Nathan Sands (Eric Roberts) shouts "Dock this thing" and takes over the helm. The next shot shows the boat continuing to head directly away from land.

The Sharktopus has the gills of a shark, and the exposition does not indicate that any changes were made to allow it to breath air; however, by the end of the movie the Sharktopus is spending as much time out of the water as in.

When the guy is swimming face up in the pool he is shown without anything on his head and begins to swim toward the surface. When he is shown coming out of the water he is wearing a sombrero.

Quotes

Stacy Everheart: Oh, Pez, I could just hug you right now. I mean, if you were better looking and had better hygiene.

Bones: Were you a lawyer in a past life? Or no, maybe you worked at the DMV. Do you feel nothing, Stacy? That guy was killed in front of us inches away. Inches away! Gosh. He was kind of a nice guy, you know? Smell a little funky, but he was okay. Now he's dead.

Pez: What can I do for you, angel?

A Note Regarding Spoilers

The 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.

Can sharks or octopi really walk on land?

An 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.

Does producer Roger Corman have a cameo?

Yes 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.
