Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Devil Fish is an Italian Jaws ripoff from 1984, directed by Lamberto Bava (son of Mario Bava and usually a competent directornote lead actor Michael Sopkiw has attributed the film's worst flaws to a rushed production and limited budget) and best known for appearing on Mystery Science Theater 3000's Season 9 episode. Original title: Shark - Rosso nell'oceano, and also known as Monster Shark.The WOI (West Ocean International) has made a fish. Not just any fish, mind you, but a giant, tentacled, beaked monstrosity that ignores every other source of food in the ocean to snack on whatever humans wind up in there. Why? For Science! Or possibly for money. Regardless, they have made a fish, and it has a taste for blood.When the marine biologists Bob and Stella find themselves unable to properly track the creature, they bring in electrician Peter to design a custom machine to help them track and kill the monster fish, and sometimes to go make out, down Budweiser, and get eaten. Somewhere in the mix is also a fantastically ugly Professional Killer brutally killing off the female cast.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Devil Fish / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: So, the devil fish is "like an amoeba" and if any scraps of its anatomy is cut off, it'll grow into a new Devil Fish? While there are real life animals that can reproduce by fragmentation, like starfish, that ability is nowhere near on the same level. Starfish require at least a full arm and a part of their core to grow a new starfish, while the devil fish can apparently regrow From a Single Cell. Also, the description of the devil fish's reproduction as being "like an amoeba". Those animals that can reproduce by fragmentation? Amoebas are not one of them. Amoebas reproduce by binary fission, not fragmentation. If an amoeba's cell wall is ruptured it won't turn into two amoebas... it will just die. | |

Artistic License – Paleontology: At the beginning of the lecture about fish evolution, the woman scientist opens with the phrase "Approximately 320 years ago". Considering the size of the predatory fish she's showing, either she forgot the word "million", or Washington's crossing of the Delaware was much more dangerous than history portrays. In addition, this lecture states that:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

The Alcoholic: Dr. Bob is at all times either drinking or cracking open a beer. The devil fish probably picked up a good buzz off of him. | |
