Another genetically mutated shark goes after more imbeciles. So much for the plot.

About on par with its predecessor; the acting is just as putrid as the previous film (2 Headed Shark Attack) and there are just as many continuity problems (which is to say, many) and just as much logic (which is to say, none) , but no one watches a movie with a title like this for anything other than to laugh at its ineptitude. It is unfortunate however, that the film has only a handful of unintentional laughs, the remainder either stupid, or just boring. The shark's size is at least consistent now. This time, it's the size of a bus, yet it can leap twenty feet into the air, and manoeuvre tight corridors with ease. It can also survive out of water for extended periods of time.

My favourite scene is when that guy, ... Joey, Jojo, jnr.,... or whatever the bloody hell his name is, jumps off the boat into the water, swinging an ax at the shark, in super slow motion.

And the trailer itself should include a spoiler warning, as it shows Danny Trejo's death scene!

Let's just say that each time the "shark" ate someone, I was hoping it had room for one more. I simply cannot understand how anybody would want to invest other than time in watching this piece of crap, and I do believe the producers should have their heads examined along with the people conceiving the plot. I actually like and respect Danny Trejo as an actor, but he should definitely have passed this part along with the remains after his breakfast. More specifically, it is the profound idiocy in this movie that really turns me off. I don't mind watching D-movies as long as they are have a certain minimum of innate logic, and to point to some examples I better first write this:

SPOILER ALERT:

Don't read this if you want to see this movie without first learning about some of its more blatant flaws. The actual action starts when this 3-headed fish arrives and for some reason decides to rip a large underwater research facility apart. At first it just swims a little around and is spotted by some visitor named Brad who see its shadow, complete with a large tail fin swinging from side to side some distance away. Now, everybody knows of course that a whale will swing its tail up and down, but Brad, who according to his own statement ("Nah, it's fine professor. We've all kicked it with whales before!") should have known better, mistakes this typical fish-mode of swimming for that of a large whale and waddles out in the water to have a better look. The water is not deep at all so when this guy almost reaches a large collection of floating debris it reaches no higher than a little bit below his knees. In the mean time wee see this gigantic shark, which I estimate to be something like 15-30 meters long (its size seems to fluctuate throughout this movie) and perhaps 2-3 meters tall and with a back fin no less than 2 meters in height, approaching with its head immediately underneath the floating debris. The back fin turns out to be no problem because it somehow manages to tuck it away so it does not stick up through the floating debris, thus warning Brad. Then it finally comes close enough to initiate a giant leap out of the water, and we are talking a leap at least twice as high, relatively, as one of the great white jumping sharks you might have seen on TV, and who requires at least a depth of 4-5 times their body lengths to build enough speed for the jump. Brad is of course just standing in his knee-deep water with open mouth and an expression of surprise all over, and then the shark slams right down on him and disappears deep below the surface of what must obviously be solid sand. Amazing. The rest of Brad's buddies on shore then run for the only safe place on this atoll that have probably been above sea level for hundreds of years - yes, they of course run deep down into the facility, which is then trashed by the shark, that also manages to snatch some guy sitting on a toilet by jumping up through the floor. At this point in the movie I actually started to expect the shark to start jumping out the faucets, but no. Then they all run upstairs and decide to swim out to a little boat one by one rather than staying in complete safety on land, and the rest is so stupid that it is hard to fathom. Why can't the shark catch a couple of slow swimming "actors" when it has no problem swimming faster than a speedboat on other occasions? How come the water is completely still around the boat while the "actors" discuss their options when we have just seen one of them fire it up at half speed? Why would I waste maybe half an hour of my precious life writing this critique when I have seen at least ten movies just as bad, or worse? Who reads these reviews anyway?

Some of those movies are entertaining, this one is not.

Bad acting (including Danny Trejo, watch his face during the boat ride), stupid behavior of all people (yes, make sure you're next after you've seen other people fall into the water), bad editing, of course I don't have to talk about a script or a story and the way the shark gets killed at the end (oh, did I reveal too much?) - ridiculous.

I was often wondering where the money is coming from and who gives green light to make movies like that. Look what some kids with some decent home equipment can put together on YouTube. Let them make movies.

Waste of time unless you want to joke around how bad it is.

This is the worst movie I've watched so far in 2020, I really regret wasting my time. I can't get that time back. The actors were very poor at acting. It seem the actors were directed by a fourteen year old kid. Using a machete to behead a shark by hitting the teeth. Come on. This movie deserved no rating.

I find the 1950's B movies amusing and watch out for the goofs but this one almost defies belief, I have never seen anything so bad, from the overacting (very badly) to the title review about a cruise ship, it was a small boad that should only operate on a river and a small one at that. Repeated use of the same shots, land appearing when they are supposed to be miles from land, a "cruise" ship that is half sunk and then back afloat. This is a typical teen angst movie where all the cast are screaming wimps, with the exception of the gung ho suicide squad. 30 minutes towards the end, I am "watching" it now, all the boats have self repaired. Gung Ho has been caught from behind by this abysmal excuse for SFX, no continuity, the script? I can't write the words to describe it. I see the macho women have finally taken command and little wimp boy barks orders as 3 head has now morphed into 5 head. This appears to have been a badly produced Greenpeace production as it keeps going on and on and on about the pollution and how this laughable mutated predator is attracted to it. I have to change channels now as I cannot bear any more teen angst about trying to save their friends and the world when they don't have the skills to do either and especially not a movie. I having given it any stars but will probably be required to give it one and it doesn't even deserve that.

The Three-Headed Shark Attack is an entertainingly bad film, and as it's title is a thematic/quality giveaway no one is going to be expecting Citizen Kane 2 (Rosebud's Revenge). On the plus side, the shark is an effective CGI creation and there is enough chomping to keep the pizza-movie viewer happy. But, the film is often slack in terms of narrative with some padding in the first section. For example, one sequence has three characters slowly take turns swimming out to a boat with the same outcome each time, plus, there is an odd 'rescue' bit in which a group seek out the hapless Howard and save him from being buried alive under some chairs. More shark action would have been good in lieu of such time-wasting. However, there are also many marvellous plots turns and visual points that compensate and which will amaze viewers, like: a victim taken by the shark even though he is only in ankle-deep water; a bullet-proof shark; a group who reason that staying on an island is much riskier then setting back out onto the high seas in rickety boats; angst about reaching land when land is clearly visible on either side of a boat and looks about a mile away in either direction; machinegun-toting fishermen; a nice Danny Trejo self-film reference; shark-skiing, an ending that is pretty much the same as Mega Piranha (and equally illogical); many characters obsessed with engaging in swimming races with the titular multi-noggined beast, and, best of all, Rob Van Dam rocking the socks with sandals look.

This is by far the worst movie I've seen this year. The CGI is terrible. The acting is worse. The plot is no where to be found. Let's put it this way, your underwater research lab is attacked but our hero's make it out and are standing on land. The movie should have ended right there. But no, they swim to a boat to get away. Then they look for another island while the camera shots show land on both sides of them 😂. And there's a river boat in the ocean. Jesus Christ this movie blows balls.

This movie is so awfully awesome that i promise you if you are gonna watch it with your friends you will really love it. I think it's better if i don't give any spoiler ahead. Believe me you won't be able to predict any thing in the movie. The shark gets killed in the most awesome way and i bet you won't be able to predict it. Guess what the shark eats it's head out and dies.Yeah you heard it right. This movie has really solved the quest regarding how to be safe from shark. The safest place is sea itself. Even if you are on the land get yourself in the water if you see a shark. Spoiler ahead ! to really understand this movie you must know something about quantum mechanics ,Yeah they have used it. Sorry for the spoiler even if i promised not to tell anything.

I unintentionally watched this straight-to-DVD sequel before the original, 2-Headed Shark Attack, made by the same studio as Sharknado, but it didn't make any different, I knew it was going to be bad, directed by Christopher Ray (Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus). Basically, a 3-headed great white shark attacks a small where a group of teenagers are partying, all those on the beach are killed, apsrt from Mark (Stephen Harwick) who swam to a buoy. The shark then attacks the Persephone, an underwater research facility studying the pollution of the Pacific Garbage Patch. The resulting damage causes the facility to explode, killing everybody inside. Marine biologists Ted Nelson (Jason Simmons) and Dr Laura Thomas (Jena Sims) manage to escape, along with touring activists Greg (Brad Mills), Ryan Bennett (Scott Thomas Reynolds), Omar (Rico Ball) and Alison (Dawn Hamil), and Greg's ex-girlfriend, college graduate Maggie Peterson (Karrueche Tran), who was applying for a job at the facility. The facility floods, and the island it is on, forcing the group to swim out to a boat, Laura and Omar are eaten in the process. The others reach the boat, with the shark following them. Ryan radios for help, and gets in contact with fisherman Max Burns, asking for help. Burns does not believe that there is a 3-headed shark, but reluctantly agrees to help them hearing of the attacks. The shark next heads toward a boat full of partying teenagers. The group attempts to warn those onboard, but the shark starts ramming into the boat, knocking numerous people into the water where they are eaten. The group manage to get aboard and help some injured passengers. Nelson is eaten, and as the boat starts to sink, the group are joined by passengers Stanley (Rob Van Dam), Rosemarie (Brianna Ferris) and Howard (Carlos Javier Rivera). Ryan stays behind and attempts to impale the shark with an axe, but it kills him in retaliation. Running low on fuel, the group is forced to stop at the island that the shark attacked earlier. Meanwhile, Burns, and his two men attempt to kill the shark, with Burns' men killed in the process. Burns manages to decapitate the shark's middle head, seemingly killing it. When Burns finds the rest of the group, the shark suddenly reappears, growing three more heads in place of the middle head (like Hydra), and it eats Burns. Traumatised by Burns' death, the group run to the centre of the island, where they find Mark. Maggie theorises that the shark is attracted to pollution, and that the heads are becoming more aggressive with each other. The group finds two motorboats and begin to drive away from the island. One of the boats is attacked by the shark, killing Alison, Rosemarie, Howard, and Mark. Meanwhile, Maggie, Stanley and Greg manage to attract the shark's attention by throwing bags of garbage into the water. Stanley's hand is bitten off in the process (but you can clearly see it is still there when he is swimming). Stanley decides to sacrifice himself, causing the shark heads to fight each other, and it dies from blood loss after eating itself. Maggie and Greg rekindle their relationship as a helicopter arrives to rescue them. Trejo does his usual tough guy stuff, but almost nothing else, the whole cast are lame and wasted with terrible dialogue. It is a terrible idea for a shark movie, it looks very cheaply made, with repetitive underwater shots to save on the awful special effects and silly attempts at over-the-top gory deaths, and it is not scary, funny or exciting in any way, a pointless and abysmal science-fiction action horror. Poor!
