I used to play Zoo Tycoon a lot, and when you start building water exhibits you can choose Sargassum as one of the plants. Thanks to this movie, every time I used it I said out loud "ATTACK!" or "I LOVE YOU."
Nothing is sadder than the location of this film - a dying Florida marine park, abandoned pools and buildings, science labs that have not been used in years, etc.
"The credits list THREE people responsible for designing and creating that horrifying costume..." Like Rick Baker's Octaman, they did what they could with the resources they had--and they probably had no idea the 'director' would end up filming it in broad daylight without a single attempt to conceal its flaws. Even Paul Blaisdell's cheap patchwork monster suits ("It! The Terror From Beyond Space," "The She-Creature," "Invasion of the Saucermen") could be somewhat effective when filmed with a little style.
Yup. At IMDB his Octaman credit is squirreled away under "Costume and Wardrobe Department." Baker says he was told the suit would be filmed only at night and shown in quick cuts--like his mutant Davis Baby from "It's Alive" for example--and was mortified to see it paraded around in full view and broad daylight. Baker had all sorts of problems with directors and producers before getting those Oscars. The various stages of decomposition in "Melting Man" were shot out of their intended sequence and the actor refused to put up with the lengthy application process, so much of Baker's hard work was lost under slatherings of slapped-on syrupy goop; Dino de Laurentiis insisted that Baker walk upright in the 1976 "King Kong" suit, which was already built to mimic a gorilla's natural posture. MST3K fans should note he also provided the monster suit for "Track of the Moon Beast" and the assorted latex effects for "Squirm."
Wow! Now he has all the powers of a fish. LOOK OUT EVERYONE! HE'S GONNA SWIM! I can understand proving your research, but wouldn't it have been easier to turn someone else into a fish monster so you could get credit rather than becoming a walkin sushi bar?

Awesome!
My favorite line has got to be, "Sargassum, the weed of deceit."
That's what I smoke....
And just at the right moment ATTACK!
"Who?"
"No, 'hello'."
Such a simple moment, but it made me laugh out loud!
"Where the hell is my house?!'
'This whole movie needs an new exhaust system!'
'It's a "Copafeelacanth"!'
'Monster fights like a 3rd grader'.
Gold!
"Sargassam, the weed of deceit."
"That's what I smoke."
A criminally underrated episode.
One of my favorites,
"And you, balding comb-over fish."
"I hope you like your catfish hot and spicy...Chomp!" @8:39
Fish Bites Mother.
I don't know why but that line kills me. lol
He now has the powerful forearms of a cat fish 😂
3:36 I was slightly expecting this to turn into Blue Monday by New Order
I see, a man of culture
“And you balding combover fish” lololol. This movie is one of my favorites.
"Who?"
"No," hello"!"

"Sarcasm fish?" "That's what I heard."
"This is Fish-Man, reminding you folks at home to enjoy sex, responsibly."
“What do you make of it?”
“We could make human loaf...”

Rick baker did Octaman?? Really? The guy won like 6 Oscars. I know he did Incredible Melting Man --

It's 3 so they can blame each other.
My favorite part of this costume is his white sneakers that are visible in several shots. 😂
Like an aquatic version of the the eye creatures.
The credits list THREE people resonpsible for designing and creating that horrifying costume..
To be fair, it's a hell of a lot better than the 'Horror At Party Beach' ones
That looks exactly like the monster costume from Zaat...Oh wait, this is the same movie under a different title. 😂
Yup!
Wait, wait wait a minute. "Boy?" "A human fish?" What the hell is this? Movie, I'm going to need to see your supervisor.
"Sorry about the noise, I use wax paper as underpants."
"I need to simplify my masturbation ritual"💀💀💀
Funniest show ever! Thanks for sharing do you have the space children? thats one is the hardest one to find thanks😂😉
And you, balding comb-over fish.....
O.o So...this is where "Humanoids from the Deep" came from..........thanks Dr.Z ._.
+theblackrosedaughter
Humanoids from the Deep is now IN MY MIND the unofficial sequel to this...
+theblackrosedaughter what do you mean?
They're both variants of "Creature From The Black Lagoon" that couldn't afford location shots but could be increasingly nasty.
ATTACK!
Hi! We're astronauts from a different film!
Dr. Z? Dr. Zoidberg?
6:14 The sequel to drugstore cowboy
Forgot the Sammo Hung reference!
Thank God all of the people he needed to seek revenge on were fishing in the area..they musta got a package deal on the vacations...
I could construct a crude yurt out of my hair in which to safely ensconce myself!
AKA Zaat?
Sure, you thought the clown car would solve everything didn't you?
"Glub? Glub, glub?"
@EzacTrenton My fave was "He's scuplted out of bellyskin.."
“Ah yes, my friend the squeegee.I love you.”
"Waiter, there's a girl in my soup" 😂
i hope you like your catfish hot and spicy CHOMP!!
If magic school bus taught me anything, female fish lay eggs then the males jizz all over them. Wow, I can’t believe they showed that to kids.
i'm glad i'm not in dixie hooray hooray
I'm glad I'm not in Dixie, hooray, hooray!
LOL Steve Pop.
ok, not really clear, why didn't the blonde chick turn into a fish monster like Z?
fishgul69 Guess the film's producer couldn't afford another shitty monster costume.
Sargasm!
"Stop, or I'll...stagger."
this was filmed in my hometown. so proud
Right...🙄
Wow! Now he has all the powers of a fish. LOOK OUT EVERYONE! HE'S GONNA SWIM!
I can understand proving your research, but wouldn't it have been easier to turn someone else into a fish monster so you could get credit rather than becoming a walkin sushi bar?
Didn't Sammo Hung wear a Speedo in "Enter the Dragon"?
6:53 boom mike shadow
"Typical male sitting in his chair playing with his rod"
Real.
I wonder what Mom looks like?
Just when I think they found the worst movie ever, they prove me wrong yet again.
DR.Z disliked this
Zap Rowsdower This makes Attack Of The Giant Leeches look like The Shape Of Water.
@auritone lol.
Lip Squishing YUCK!!!
This garbage makes any of H.G.
Lewis's movies look like Woody Allen art pieces. 🤢
But damn if it isn’t entertaining as hell. 😂
