Not letting the success of Ape vs Monster go to waste The Asylum is back with Ape vs. Mecha Ape. This time they’ve brought in Marc Gottlieb to write and direct. While it’s only his second feature, the other was Cousin Howard back in 1995, and the first one for The Asylum he’s written several scripts for them including Jungle Run, 2025 Armageddon, and Aquarium of the Dead. Can he kick the franchise into gear after its dismal first film?
Ape vs. Mecha Ape opens with a chemical weapons plant that looks like an old warehouse being attacked by what looks like the giant ape Abraham. A few explosions later we see that it’s actually a giant, well-armed, robot which makes short work of the plant’s security.

A sequel to 2021’s Ape vs. Monster, which served as a “mockbuster” take on Godzilla vs. Kong, The Asylum has just unleashed their latest creature feature: Ape vs. Mecha Ape.
Starring Tom Arnold, the kaiju-sized fight film is now available on VOD outlets.
In director Marc Gottlieb‘s Ape vs. Mecha Ape, “Recognizing the destructive power of its captive giant Ape, the military makes its own battle-ready A.I., Mecha Ape. But its first practical test goes horribly wrong, leaving the military no choice but to release the imprisoned giant ape to stop the colossal robot before it destroys downtown Chicago.”
Jack Pearson, Anna Telfer and Xander Bailey also star.
Could be fun, could be terrible. Watch the Ape vs. Mecha Ape trailer below.

No, Bullet Train Down is not a crossover of the Gerard Butler “…Down” franchise and the recent Brad Pitt film. But since it is from The Asylum you can bet it does borrow heavily from other films, in this case taking the train from Bullet Train and placing the bomb from Speed on it. Yes, in just sixteen years they’ve has gone from Snakes of a Train to Bombs on a Train, that’s progress.
Jack Banta is about to see a dream come true, the inaugural run of his company’s latest breakthrough, the world’s fastest bullet train. Among the others on board is his assistant Lou, vloggers Claire and Davey and ex-military bomb disposal expert Kessler Briggs.

As if we needed any more disaster this year, along comes Apocalypse of Ice from mockbuster kings The Asylum!
This time round, as if The Asylum haven’t already made a boat-load of these apocalyptic nature films before – including when Hollywood went crazy on the same subject – a massive polar vortex threatens to cover nearly all of Earth in ice. Oh and did I mention the world is also in the middle of a global pandemic..? Yes as if a pandemic wasn’t enough, in this film we get a global apocalypse too!
But hey this is The Asylum, so you know what that means don’t you? Stock footage aplenty, from empty streets thanks to a real-world pandemic, to...
