Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

jellopuke Pretty terrible all around with laughable effects, bad acting, and a total disregard for any originality. That said, there are a couple of saving graces, like the part when the newscaster laments the lack of good shark footage and his cameraman says "just put in some stock footage, no one will know the difference" which is EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO IN THIS MOVIE! Barely watchable, there are at least a couple of good kills, but other than that, not much here.

Steve Pulaski The backstory about The Last Shark is more interesting than about half the film. It was released in 1982, where it was quickly pulled out of theaters after Universal Studios sued because of its striking resemblance to their 1975 blockbuster, Jaws. It's a direct clone. Clearly, Universal was proud to own Jaws and resented this movie for its plagiarism. They had every right, but that doesn't mean this is downright terrible.But it definitely is cheap, uninspired, tame, questionable, and, face it, not too suspenseful. The Last Shark is not only a copy, but an unsuccessful attempt to market off of one of the biggest horror films of all time. This did get a minor cult following, but not because it was good, because it was lame. If anything, this is pretty much a clone of the disastrous Jaws the Revenge. I'm sure Universal would say "by all means" if you were going to remake that. They'd add a "good luck" to that idea as well.The storyline is typical shark film fare. A windsurfer winds up disappearing because a thirty-five foot monster that is the Great White Shark plagues the waters of Port Harbor. The self-centered, idiot mayor wants to keep silent because he fears that this will greatly kill visitors. In walks a shark-novelist (Franciscus) and a grumpy sea-lover (Morrow) who are determined to stop this beast in its tracks.The Last Shark takes about forty minutes to get going, and once it does, it's like a halfway broken light. On, off, flicker, flicker, on for a few seconds, off for a few, on, off, flicker, flicker, blink. In the dark. Some scenes, most notably the one where a scuba-diver goes underwater to stop the shark, are interesting, while others, lack suspense and are simply provided for an odd mix of comedy and horror. The shark itself looks like a blow up doll at a fish enthusiast's ninth birthday party. It's larger than most likely any other shark in the world. Real Great Whites are only between eighteen and twenty-one feet long, and this one, is thirty-five feet. If there is anything that disappoints the most about this film, it's the end. The ending is without a doubt the cheapest, and most ineffective way to end a shark film. I was hoping for an ending like one in Tremors 2: Aftershocks, a very well-done, exciting, worthwhile ending. You don't get that here.Certain things about this amuse me, though. Some underwater shots are very good (when you can see past the dark and gloom), the opening music about "living on cocaine" with people wind-surfing like you are about to watch some cheap, eighties, wind-surfing tutorial, and certain shots of the shark underwater tend to spark the slightest eerie feeling inside you. But ultimately those are only minor perks that still can't make an eighty-eight minute long film suffice to a level of creepy film-making. The Last Shark is a good b-movie film to watch late at night, when you're about 2/3 of the way through a case of Bud Light with some buddies. That's about it.Starring: James Franciscus, Vic Morrow, Micaela Pignatelli, Joshua Sinclai, Giancarlo Prete, and Stefania Girolami Goodwin. Directed by: Enzo G. Castellari.

abigailjeffries I got a laser disc of this movie with very high quality and I instantly loved it. James Franciscus and Vic Morrow do great, and Franciscus does excellent in the end with his emotion. This movie is still a jaws rip-off but is still pretty original, and steals no footage from other movies. The only thing I didn't like about this movie were the terrible special effects. In some scenes, the shark looks horribly fake-but in others, it looks realistic. When people get eaten, some times they get pulled under the water. Although there will be occasional parts with disembodied limbs that are very, very fake looking. Other than that, the movie is great.

Seb Jaws was a classic movie and more importantly in the eyes of people who make movies, it made a lot of cash. This isn't the first film to try to cash in on its success but it's the most blatant and easily the worst.This isn't just a film about a great white shark, it's Jaws remade in nearly every detail, only done really badly and on the cheap. The effects are funny beyond belief. In one scene the shark emerges from the water under a small boat sending the occupant flying up in the air. I nearly choked to death laughing while eating popcorn but that has in no way lowered my score.Really there's no call for this film, I mean you have Jaws which is great or this squalid version. Then again if you appreciate really bad movies then you are sure to love it. It's funny in all the wrong places and the continuity is just awful. I also found it funny that none of the characters are introduced or explained so at one point a girl gets killed and you find out she's related to another character, but that's the first you've heard of it.It's just slapdash and talentless all the way but pretty funny too, you are sure to get a few laughs especially that guy flying out of his boat I'll never forget that gem of a scene. Worth watching just for that.
