It's beyond crap and all I can think is that those who watched it are complete strangers to confrontation, as I am now- but wasn't when I watched that film... It's so unrealistic and shit. I cringed my way through the film. Terrible. If that film was a boxer it would be Eric crumble.

Tell us about your used to being in confrontation ?

Sounds better than talking about Stretch

I've only seen dirty dancing , mannequin and deadmans shoes. It goes without saying that shoes is the least attractive film of the three. I like the concept of mannequin it's a beautiful story and I myself often wonder what it would be like to have sex with a doll. Obvs dirty dancing is a great film ... It's hard to pick my favourite out of those too... Nobody puts baby in the corner

I think you are being a bit harsh calling Gary Stretch wooden. He plays a very convincing Crocosarus - although he does get lots of help from the special effects department.

But I suppose a crocosarus does look like a giant log so I guess he is a bit wooden in that one

Big Jim is back!

How you doing fella?

Glad you've made your return on such a worthy thread

After its titanic battle with the Giant Octopus, the world had only one question -- what would happen if the Mega Shark did battle with a 1500 foot giant crocodile? Well, luckily, we know the answer, as "Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus" is finally released!

Easily mistaken for a documentary, this film follows a band of intrepid heroes -- an oceanic sound engineer (played by Jaleel White, yup, "Urkel") who knows about sharks, a drunken hunter who knows about crocodiles, and an uptight FBI agent who is also a helicopter pilot and wears a tight tank top -- as they chase the two monsters around the globe.

The plot is straightforward; while mining diamonds in the Congo, workers unleash a giant crocodile. Meanwhile, the Mega Shark has returned and apparently finds crocodile eggs indescribably delicious. Thus, the tension between the two beasts. The top-of-the-line special effects will blow your mind as we follow the story from Miami Beach to Orlando to California to the Panama Canal. The Mega Shark is up to its old tricks (eating boats, jumping out of the water to attack planes, etc) and the Crocosaurus will live in your nightmares as you watch it trample through cities.

I am certain this film is 100% scientifically accurate, and should be required viewing for anybody who enjoys good, mindless fun and doesn't take things too seriously!

Crazy that Gazza can turn down interviews. Of all the requests I’ve put out I can count on one hand the people who either say ‘No’ or in one case require a fee. I applied to interview Lennox Lewis earlier this year, a single email was sent, his people kept in constant touch and got the big man to phone me on my home line. And he’s Lennox, everyone else ain’t.

Gary Stretch needs to step up (to the microphone).

Well, he's now an actor and apparently the success of this giddy profession went to his head and he knocked back my interview request, saying he "only speaks to big titles".

No doubt Esquire, GQ, Playboy, the New York Times and the like will be beating down his door to speak to him when they see the kinds of films he doesn't even have the lead role in.

Think you might be taking it a little personal mate. Theres certainly no need to start a thread bashing the guy, it could well have been a jobsworthy assistant who turned you down on his behalf. I do agree though he should have done the interview with you, it would have appealed to boxing news/monthly etc and its all free publicity back home

0.26 secs, not a peep from him.

Maybe he thought, 'You embarrassed me by calling me Gerry Stretch in the credits so I'll just sit there and watch you eff this one up, then go to the nearest chippy'.

Tell me about it. I sometimes go out in a balaclava and dress the missus in a fat suit just so we can have a bit of peace and quiet. You ugly mofos should count your blessings.
