Murphy's Law - On Steroids
Murphy's Law postulates that "Whatever can go wrong, will."However, this is only true for normal people. For people like the Biblical character Job, like myself, and like the characters in this film, a couple of axioms to Murphy's Law must be incorporated:Axiom 1: Whatever can go wrong, will, and at such a time, such a place, an in such a way as to do maximum damage.Axiom 2: Whatever cannot go wrong, also will.Now, with these necessary principles in mind, ask yourself the following:1) What is the likelihood of a two-headed shark?2) What is the likelihood, on a particular trip, of one's boat sinking?3) What is the likelihood of then being stranded on an atoll?4) What is the likelihood of the atoll deciding that now would be a good time to sink?In some ways, I think this film was meant to be something of a raucous romp and a bit of a laugher. But when I, taking Samuel Taylor Coleridge's advice, engaged in a bit of "Willing Suspension of Disbelief," this actually was a pretty horrifying disaster flick.At any rate, remember this one lesson: Some of the people who flee to the chapel will survive. So if you are ever in an instance in which everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong, and has done so at such a place, time, and in such a way as to cause maximum damage, and even that which could not possibly go wrong has gone wrong... flee to the chapel.Highly recommended.

Passable Shark B Movie, Not Much Violence or Sleaze
I do love the premise here, as I’ve seen a lot of sharksploitation and a fresh approach was welcome, even if the lone addition is a second head. Of course, this sequels would continue to tack on more and more heads, which is ridiculous and hilarious. 2-Headed Shark Attack spins a yarn in line with the usual shark attack cinema, but despite the colorful concept, the movie rarely goes for broke with the zaniness, which was a let down. As you’d expect from The Asylum, there’s a colorful cast and some outlandish visual effects, so b movie fans should appreciate those elements, if the movie stalls out often. I’d think with such a fun premise, the focus would be the shark and a series of outrageous attack scenes, but instead we’re given mostly banal chatter between forgettable characters. A few bright spots come through, usually whenever the shark shows up, but to be honest, even the shark attacks weren’t that fun. I guess I expected the two headed gimmick to be put to better use, which doesn’t happen in these passable, but routine scenes. Brooke Hogan is hilarious in one of the most wooden performances I’ve seen and some humorous dialogue is present at times, but overall 2-Headed Shark Attack fails to stand out from the sharksploitation crowd.

Great movie if you watch with a sense of humor!
Two heads are better than one is correct. This is a campy, college-kids-out-for-an-adventure type of movie full of action, a few big name actors, shirtless young men and bikini clad young women - and a couple of not so clad ones at that. Yes, there are a few topless women to go along with the topless men. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, too, right? This isn't a movie to watch with the little ones around! The SFX aren't very good, but overall the movie is good for a few chuckles and worth the time spent watching. It's one of those movies that you know is going to be so bad it's good before you watch it. This could easily be a drinking game movie. Every time you see a major film flaw like blue water from one camera angle and brown from the other complete with lake grass or weeds, take a drink. When you see swim line floats in the scene because they're filming close to a public beach, take a drink. When you see other boats in the background when they are supposed to be stranded a hundred miles from nowhere, take a drink. You get the idea. You'd be hammered by the end of the movie. I saw the edited for TV version on the SYFY channel, so it is great to see the unedited version here at Amazon!

"I think we're good"
“I think we're good” is said by one of two women who just escaped from the shark, and felt they were safe. Foolish thought. From Asylum, one expects a low budget mess, and this delivers. And BTW, sharks growl! It is low budget, but geesh, they could have at least tried. Supposedly near the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, yet one of the students gets a cell phone call. Must have a heck of a good cell phone carrier. They hit something, but keep going. That makes no sense, but fits into a no sense plot. Once they find some boats on the atoll, around the dock are signs in English – No Fishing, etc. And the boats are registered in Florida. By this time in the movie, acting consists of screaming. Towards the end of the movie, some are running along a platform, which has electrical outlets along it, and looks very new. The students die horrible deaths, and by that I refer to the special effects. Since there are plenty of busty young women in skimpy bikinis, this is a movie tailored to teen boys. Perhaps the most satisfying part of the movie was when Cole gets his from the shark. It is mindless entertainment.

Full of Babes & Action
Come on, so what if the plot doesn't win an Emmy ? It's full of action and beautiful, and I mean "beautiful" girls running around in bikinis.. Oh, and I think there's a scary shark in the movie too. If you want to relax and watch a shark movie with lots of eye candy, this would be it. I never read critics' reviews, they're wrong 75% of the time and also dissect every second of movies. I watch to relax, unwind, chuckle, and so forth.. -it's a nice getaway. -Jim :-)

Bad movie, Hilarious Nude Scenes
This movie was terrible, and not funny terrible. I love the funny terrible Sharknado concept, but this movie was just bad. The only good part of this entire movie was it actually had nudity unlike most shark movies which was cool, and the only reason I'm giving this any stars at all because the nude scenes were hilarious.

What do you expect
Absolute hokum pooly acted and dire special effects but what do you expect from a film called Two headed shark attack. Entertaining and what plot there was is fast moving and the girls are pretty all in all it made an old man (reasonably) happy But great cinema it ain't.

Not even good for a "bad" shark film.
I love cheesy shark films but this is weak. the plot is notably poor even for the genre and the camera work and editing looks like a gcse media studies project.Skip this one and go for a better bad shark film like sharktopus or shark attack 3!
