A huge shark starts attacking people in the waters surrounding a small coastal
city. And to make matter even worse...it's right before their big
windsurfing competition!!! People get eaten and lots of stock footage of
clearly different types of sharks is shown until finally the townsfolk have had
enough and decide to kill the beast. A guy with a helicopter goes out to
catch the shark (he doesn't, but the shark does end up catching him!); some
divers confront the shark with dynamite, but the shark chases him into a cave
and then smashes the rocks until it closes up the entrance (wow!); a group of
teenagers go hunting for the shark with a shotgun and one of 'em comes back
minus a leg (that scene was awesome); an overzealous TV reporter chains a giant
hunk of meat to a dock and the dock gets pulled out to sea along with a bunch of
people on it (what the hell?) and in maybe my favorite scene: the shark hits a
small boat and the dude standing in the boat goes flying straight up into the
air! It was hilarious.
Yeah, this is a
JAWS (and
JAWS 2)
ripoff, but in the right state of mind it's very funny. I don't understand
why Steven Spielberg had to be a sore sport and sue the makers of this film.
Yes, it has
a lot of similarities to the first two JAWS films, but the
movie is
so goddamn shitty that now all I want to do is watch JAWS again
just to see a good shark movie!
Zero nudity, mediocre acting, terrible music, shitty looking shark, lots of
stock footage, American flags everywhere (that'd actually make a good drinking
game), fake looking helicopter crash...THE LAST SHARK is a turd, but it makes up
for it in laughs.
