While listening to the HDTGM team trying to figure out what Zardoz was about, I was reminded of another film that has a similar plot line. In 1988, Donald G. Jackson wrote and directed "Hell Comes To Frogtown," a movie that is set in a post apocalyptic world starring WWE superstar "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
Â
Due to nuclear fallout, there are very few fertile men and women in the new world but a band of warrior-nurses form to track down the fertile men for breeding stock. Piper plays a character named Sam Hell, a wanderer who is tracked and captured by the nurses because of all the pregnant women he left in his wake. I can only assume that one or two of them were raped Connery style. The nurses only want Hell for his sperm and fit him with an explosive cod-piece in case he tries to escape. He is then forced to rescue captured fertile women from a group of outcast mutants, who are forced to live in the deserts away from civilization. The head nurse -played by Sandahl Bergman- originally has no interest in Hell, but soon falls victim to his sexuality and the two presumably fall in love.
Â
So we have a badass running around banging everyone, who is then captured by powerful women and forced into doing their bidding, and an outcast group punished by banishment.
Â
Could it be the Donald G. Jackson is a fan of Zardoz and used the movie as inspiration for his own tale?
Â
Maybe I'm only seeing the similarities because I want too.

EPISODE 106 — Deep Blue Sea: LIVE!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the sharks at Aquatica are supposed to be Mako sharks right?
Â
In the beginning Thomas Jane pulls a license plate from a shark that clearly has the markings of a tiger shark. The shark looks nothing like a greyish-blue mako shark.
Â
If I'm wrong and there is a Tiger Shark at the complex, there was still a design flaw in the robotic shark. The extremely expensive robotic shark. A tiger sharks nose is flat and blunt where as a makos nose is pointy. Aside from the fact that they are both sharks, they look completely different.
Â
... and my mom said that reading all those shark books from the public library was a waste of time.
