Definitely in the 'so bad it's good' department. The credited writer is Michael de Guzman - we decided though that he fell asleep and his seven year old niece finished it.
I was going to say that despite dreadful dialogue at every turn, Michael Caine is the only actor in it with any credibility, but when he emerges from the sea and is totally dry that was stretching things too far. Lance Guest is so wooden he could get a job as a tree. It's like it's a foreign film which has been badly dubbed. Even back projected scenes in plane are hilarious.
"I've always wanted to make love to an angry welder."
"Whatever we had last time."
"Two Bahama Mamas."
Dearly wished the little girl would be eaten by the shark.
Flashbacks (and clips from) the original made me think of that crocodile fight in the early Tarzan which is then in all the subsequent films.
