    The Asylum is the reason why the words "the plot is being kept under wraps" is to be treasured when a movie goes into production.

      @ KING TAZER Same here!! I enjoy these films so much that I've been trying to collect as many as I can or as many that are available. I like the ones with some of those older actors like "John Schneider, C. Thomas Howell, The London Brothers" to name a few. My friends always give me crap but F*** 'Em!!

    My mom fell for this once. She rented "Battle of Los Angeles" instead of "Battle: Los Angeles". In fairness, "Battle of Los Angeles" sounds like the more real movie title.

      They were going to make sequels Battle: Los Angeles, new york was next. Too bad it had to flop, I would have liked the sequels too if they would've stuck with the formula.

    I intentionally look for Asylum movies. I have an entire box full of them on DVD as well as an entire folder of them on one of my flash drives. I always watch their movies because they make their films the way they want to without bullshit studio and societal influences. Hell theres 2 of their newest movies I go to Walmart every week looking for.

    Can I just mention The Asylum's strange addiction to making shark based movies? ALOT of their movies involve or revolve around sharks, since megashark vs giant octopus they keep finding ways to make films based on sharks (2 headed shark attack, more megashark films, megalodon, and of course, *sharknado* )

      could this song possibly made because he were scammed by The Asylium in the past or theres a time where Japan had the trend of Sharknado?

    If you accept the weirdness of their movies, they’re actually quite entertaining. You’ll see a lot of the same actors in all of their movies, but that’s not a problem at all. Their quality actually got better over time. You can clearly see that they don’t take all of this too serious and this is somewhat refreshing in nowadays times.

      Sorry, coming in late here... Z-Nation is great! It starts kind of Asylum-ish, but after some episodes you really fall in love with the characters. And who can go through life without having seen the worlds biggest cheese getting spiced up with zombies as it rolls through the landscape? Hmmmm... kind of Asylum-ish too, I guess. But, yes... Z- Nation has good actors, fun plot, nice locations and doesn't take itself too seriously. And it has Doc!!❤

      It's actually genius the way they work it.
      Nothing is made till its sold.
      Once it's sold, they take a part of the sale price and that becomes the budget for the movie.
      They have profits before they even shoot the first frame.
      Meaning, all those mockbusters were made just like that.
      It's not their fault, it's finding what sells and getting paid in advance.
      If no one buys the idea (usually a poster), it doesn't get made.
      Most also do not realize they release about 15-24 movies a year. So, most of their projects are still original content and not mock.
      Maybe I should do a video...
