aka Great White
The popularity of Jaws spawned many imitations, and while some bear only a striking resemblance, others are bastard-ized versions of the same film. One such bastard is Enzo G. Castellari's story of a monstrous man-eating shark and a greedy politician who attempts to use its appetite to his advantage. Sound familiar? It's not the only similarity. There's also a small band of grizzled men sent to hunt it down. The actual animatronic great white is pretty effective, but its scenes are hampered down by poor use of miniatures and a heavy helping of stock footage. And any scene not involving the gory deaths of the beach-goers is rendered flat by comparison.
