Trivia
At 8:31 Dr. Yost says "Great whites don't just kill people on boats. What's next, they fly through tornadoes?". This is an obvious reference to the Sharknado (2013) franchise which is also produced by the The Asylum studio. See more »Goofs
If the shark really has a head/mouth on the tail how is it able to actually swim forward with force. The tail fin is what propels the shark forward. I get that it can whip its tail to get forward momentum but it rarely does this, despite its super speed. See more »Soundtracks

The first thing that comes to mind is 'who comes up with these ideas?' That being said then I must admit that I am a sucker for these creature features despite the chances being well in the high area of the movie being questionable at best.
I will say that "5-Headed Shark Attack" was not a particularly thrilling movie, it was as predictable as they come, and it seemed that not even the actors were fully believing in the movie script.
The shark and the CGI was actually good enough, although the design of the shark was so ludicrous that it was actually hillarious to witness on the screen.
There are far better shark movies available and putting 5 heads on one shark doesn't make it five times as intense, it almost works in quite the opposite.
If you are a fan of the creature feature movies then you might find something enjoyable in a movie such as this, but if you are expecting something in the likes of "Jaws", then your money is better spent elsewhere.
