THE LAST SHARK - Uncut & Widescreen

Under discussion:

The Last Shark  (1980)

Probably one of the all time best (and most sought after) Jaws clones from Italy! A 30-foot Great White has made a small seaside town, known as Port Harbor, its feeding grounds just before the annual Wind Surf Regatta. After the star surfer and a local fisherman disappear, Franciscus and Morrow try and put a stop to the festivities. Unfortunately, the mayor decides to go ahead providing proper measures are taken. Only this great white doesn't know when to quit and turns the Regatta into his own personal human flesh smorgasbord! When the local teens, including Franciscus' daughter and the Mayor's son, decide to kill the shark, things go awry and now it's up to Franciscus and Morrow to seek revenge! Castellari directs with a bigger than usual budget (including a reported $4 million dollar advertising budget) featuring what has got to be the largest shark prop in cinema history and another fine score from the De Angelis brothers. Antonio (Piranha II, Macabro) Corridori supplies the gruesome effects of people being gnawed in half! Pulled from screen shortly after its original U.S. theatrical release due to its obvious similarities to a certain director's "Bruce".
