Truly Dreadful Film

Purely Joyful Movie!

Excellent, a Must See

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Okay, my opinion is biased, but man if you were a kid in the 90s like me who LOVED sharks, snakes, and generally every other animal that most people feared then this show was like heaven for you. When I watched Street Sharks it was like watching God turn grass into gold.The characters were awesome, Slammu was my favorite (Whale shark with super strength!) The Ripster was the leader of the 4 brothers, he was a level headed Great White mutant. Slammu, a Whale shark, was the biggest and strongest of the crew, with the ability to tear a water tower from the ground! (It was awesome!) Streex was the Tiger shark mutant with all the suave charming skills. Jab, the Hammerhead, was the lazy street shark who was most like me, but I still liked seeing Slammu smash stuff around. Dr. Paradigm... he was actually very scary if you were only about 5 or 6 like I was when you watched the show. The Piranha was a good idea, I've yet to see another show even use a piranha in a way other than being used as a method to get rid of a body... The GUY IN THE SKY!! He was never show but you'd always hear him reporting the latest news and it would set the theme for what the Street Sharks had to save/right. I never saw if the boys ever found their father... it always made me sad when I saw the shadow of Dr. Bolten because I knew it was him. I hope they did. Minions; Killamari was one mean son of a gun. That guy was easily the meanest and scariest of all of the minions. He was a mutant squid that shot deadly barbs from his mouth. He was very intelligent and often made fun of his fellow minions since they could never do anything right, especially the Slobster. Surfing through the concrete was seriously almost the best part of the show! How could any kid not like that?! They jump out of it for goodness sakes! It blew my mind.I had all the toys and everything. Sure it wasn't as big of a collection as my TMNT stuff, but hey Street Sharks was definitely the show to watch before TMNT came along. The surfer guy, with subliminal pothead references was cool too because as someone else said they started introducing a supporting cast and guest characters early on. Street Sharks was the epitome of what the 90s brought for cartoons, pure, action-packed, somewhat violent, anti-hero goodness in the form of experiments gone wrong trying to right the wrongs of others! The strongest thing the Street Sharks had was an ORIGINAL concept for what kind of animal to use. I have yet to see anyone DARE to use a shark in a cartoon that isn't just like Jabber Jaw or those dumb sharks from Finding Nemo.It was not culturally significant at the time, but for kids that were into sharks and reptiles like me this show was probably one of the best I've ever watched in my life. (Swat Katz is about the only one that can touch it!!)

While the children of the 80s watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the children of the 90s (myself included) watched Street Sharks. This cartoon was pretty crazy. Some evil scientist turns a father and his four sons into half human half shark mutants, and the father goes into hiding for no apparent reason. Then the four sons ( aided by a surfer dude) fight the evil scientist and his own group of evil mutants, like Killamari, a violent half man half squid. I admit, I thought this cartoon was hokey even when I was watching it ten years ago, but it was still fun to watch. I liked how Dr. Paradigm (what a bizarre name!)wore that robotic battle suit. I thought it was funny that he would always wear that suit no matter what the occasion. (Although he would wear a huge purple cape over the suit when he went out into public although people could still see the bubble-head part of the suit.) I'll never forget that in one episode he addressed the public and told them why he always wore the cyber attack suit; he told the crowd that the Street Sharks had somehow imprisoned him in it. Yeah, the Street Sharks would force their mortal enemy to wear a suit that gives him deadly increased strength and incredible attack powers. I quit watching the Street Sharks after a while and I'm not sure how many episodes I missed. I wonder if the Sharks were ever reunited with their father. This show is no cultural masterpiece, but it was fun to watch. I would be glad to see the Street Sharks get released on DVD.

"Street Sharks" wasn't that bad of a show. I used to watch it about five years ago on UPN on Sunday mornings. I liked the animation, the plots, and the characters. My favorite character was Streex. He was cool. I also liked Roxie. She was also cool.My favorite episodes were: "Attack of the shark bots (1)", "Here Comes The Mantaman", "Clash of the Titans", "Follow The Leader", and "Cabin Fever". I also liked the "Street Sharks" movie "The Shiva Saga". I even have that on video. Overall I really enjoyed this show and it is ashame that it didn't last that long. I give this show 8/10 stars.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was bad but this is just plain horrendous. Poor plot, horrible animation, stupid character designs, and a really lame attempt to cash in on something kids aren't even interested in anymore. Avoid this piece of crap at all costs.
