The Last Shark

What I wouldn't give to see this thoroughly entertaining Italian Jaws knock-off available uncut on UK DVD.

I'd imagine the rights might be a bit tricky though.

To be honest as a lover of continental trash I would love to see any of the Italian shark movies out on UK DVD.

I'm with you on this one buddy, these films have a certain 'something' that I honestly can't discribe.

I'd like to see Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws from Bruno Mattei, there is a DVD-R doing the rounds, sourced from VHS, but I'd like the real deal! hehe. I know the film will never get a North American release, due to prosecution from the director of Jaws 2: from which this film stole scenes from.

Nothing about it not getting a UK release though! hehe.

Any film that is comprised of scenes stolen from other peoples films HAS to be seen! lol

Has it actually been released over here? I read about The Last Shark a few years ago and was downloading it off a torrent site, but it was so slow and I just gave up on it after a while. It's definitely something I'd like to see!

I've now seen it!!!!

I can't believe they had the nerve to ripoff JAWS so much! That scene of a shark lunging out of the sea and grabbing the guy hanging off a helicopter has to be seen to be believed - how did they think they'd get away with that!? I won't spoil it for anybody that's not seen it.

Definitely one that Shameless could release... the label sums up the entire movie!
