"Sharks in Venice" Starring Stephen Baldwin Needs No Further Explanation

Venice, jewel of Europe, peaceful siphon of American tourist dollars, target… for DISASTER.  In a continuing attempt to slake the moviegoing public’s ravenous appetite for dangerous animals in unlikely places, Hollywood has offered us Sharks in Venice, now, as FilmDrunk notes, available on DVD.

The seemingly tranquil waterways of Venice are terrorized by the perfect killing machine. In search of his father who has mysteriously disappeared diving in the city [Ed: three guesses], David stumbles across the cryptic trail leading to the long-lost fortune of the Medici. As the unwitting pawn in a Mafia plot to recover the treasure, David’s girlfriend is kidnapped at gunpoint, plunging him into a desperate race against time…

It is important to note that David is played by Stephen Baldwin, the one who baptized Spencer Pratt in the holy rivers of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! If the trailer above isn’t enough to convince you to buy the movie, be sure to admire the special effects, plus a sneak peak at the next “organisms where they aren’t supposed to be” films in production, after the jump.  

That is movie magic right there.  Classic “gondola scene disrupted by shark” moment.  ”Between footage stolen from the National Geographic channel’s Venice special and footage stolen from Shark Week, this movie practically makes itself!”

I just included this one because of the end.  Start it at 2:49.  ”I’ll see your chainsaw and raise you a wooden end table!”  Baldwin’s look of shock is priceless.  ”My God, that chainsaw cut this wooden end table right in two!  Quick, I must grab another piece of wooden furniture to defend myself!”
