THE SHARK HUNTER (1979)

Il Cacciatore di squali

Directed by Enzo G. Castellari

Starring

Franco Nero, Werner Pochath, Jorge Luke, Michael Forest, Patricia Rivera, Mirta Miller, Eduardo Fajardo and Enzo G. Castellari

When a plane carrying a million dollars in cash crashes, only one person lives through it and knows where it went down. The survivor (Franco Nero) ends up staying and making a living as a shark hunter on an island off the Mexican coast, dreaming of one day recovering the treasure that lies at the bottom of the sea.

There becomes an urgency to recover the loot when corrupt local police officers, thugs, and a CIA agent on "holiday" all learn about the treasure as well. A frenzied battle erupts in the shark infested waters with everyone involved and a fortune at stake.

Enzo G. Castellari (Inglorious Bastards) includes himself in the cast and again directs his pal Franco Nero in this suspense action spectacle, beautifully filmed on exotic location. Although not exactly a legit entry in the "Sharksploitation" sub genre, the film features some of the greatest shark attack sequences ever as well as a phenomenal score by the De Angelis brothers.

MONSTER SHARK (1984)

Directed by Lamberto Bava

Starring

Michael Sopkiw, Valentine Monnier, Gianni Garko, William Berger, Dagmar Lassander, Iris Peynado, Lawrence Morgant, Cinzia De Ponti, Paul Branco

Written by some of the greats in Italian cinema including Luigi Cozzi, Sergio Martino, and Dardano Sacchetti, this is one of the bloodiest Jaws rip offs ever made.

When several boats are torn apart and badly mangled corpses are washed ashore, people start wondering why the teeth marks on the bodies don't lead to any known animal.

Several scientists try to save the local population from this shark-like monster that is a genetically-created hybrid of an octopus and a prehistoric proto-shark. Unfortunately its creator is as brutal a killer as his satanic creation and won't even stop at murder to cover its existence.

THE LAST SHARK (1980)

L'Ultimo squalo

Directed by Enzo G. Castellari

Starring

James Franciscus, Vic Morrow, Joshua Sinclair, Giancarlo Prete, Joyce Lee, Ennio Girolami, Stefania Girolami Goodwin, and Massimo Vanni

Locals of a coastal town decide to make a beach just for swimmers but it doesn't take long for a cranky 35 foot great white shark to stake out his territory and seek revenge on the humans.

When the Mayor does nothing to stop the shark attacks its up to the late great Vic Morrow (Twilight Zone) and James Franciscus (Cat O' Nine Tails) to go stop the terror of the water.

Released in the U.S. under the title "Great White" in 1982, this movie was quickly yanked out of theatres when Steven Spielberg and Universal Studios had it barred from distribution due to the blaring similarities to JAWS and JAWS 2.

CRUEL JAWS (1995)

Directed by Bruno Mattei

Starring

David Luther, Scott Silveria, Kristen Urso, George Barnes Jr., Richard Dew, Sky Palma, Norma J. Nesheim, and Gregg Hood

This insane Jaws rip-off is as campy as you can get, complete with a Hulk Hogan clone and score that is more than reminiscent of Star Wars.

The film is about a evil tiger shark that was born in captivity as part of a navy experiment and trained as a killer to hang around a sunken navy ship. The heroes of the film decide to blow up the ship to get rid of the shark and by the end the shark has eaten 16 people.

This is extreme guerilla filmmaking done by Italian cheese wizard Bruno Mattei, who steals from many sources to make this homage to the small shark film genre.
