    This movie gets a lot of flack for the troublesome special effects and I can see the issues, but I really did like it quite a bit. Solid performances all around and some nice storytelling bits. I generally enjoy both James Franciscus and Vic Morrow and I've been watching Enzo G. Castellari long enough that I've gotten a real affection for his daughter Stefania.

    This was a really fun Jaws rip off. A must see just to see a rubber shark pull a helicopter underwater!

    A JAWS ripoff by the great Italians. Some fun models and stock footage. Not great but ok.

    Crikey. Actually the Shark was pretty good, I like how it had a nack for making things explode when butting them. Not as bad as I expected it to be and had all the usual Castellari trademarks. Decent

    I had seen this Italian "Jaws" clone once before. In it's very limited American theatrical release in 1982. Back then, it was known as "Great White" and it spent a minimal amount of time on screens around the country before Universal sued distributor FVI and got the movie pulled from distribution.

    While I remembered it had several similarities with the original "Jaws", I didn't remember it being a terrible movie. Just an unoriginal one. This summer, when I was able to find a copy on DVD -- that bears the original name of the film, "The Last Shark" -- I jumped at the chance to see this relatively unknown movie one more time.

    While it is certainly more-than-a-little-bit inspired by…

    It's just as well no one in The Last Shark ever says, "This is just like in that film Jaws", because there wouldn't be much time left for any other dialogue. Just like in that film Jaws, a coastal resort has a great white shark attacking swimmers, the mayor ignores the warnings so that a big event can go ahead, and a salty shark hunter steps in to help. But Vic Morrow is no Robert Shaw, and The Last Shark is no Jaws. It's lively enough though, and good fun for fans of bad films; if nothing else it makes for a nice easy game of Spot the Continuity Errors (the wetsuit that changes colour is my favourite), while the…

    Mostly fun Jaws rip-off by Italian director Enzo G. Castellari drags a bit on plot development and Vic Morrow’s Irish brouge accent is ridiculous, but it’s a fairly bloody success that features many minor characters chomped in half. The shark is a barely animate prop mixed with poorly matched stock footage.
