One of the worst I've seen is ORCA (1977)
this movie is incredibly stupid. Even the poster is stupid.

What's with all the fnckin' werdz?  If I wanted a trailer, I'd I have payed to sit through a movie... and the narrator'd have to read that bullsh!t... that poster IS stupid.   :lookingup:

Did you know that it is one of the most intelligent creatures in the UNIVERSE?

 :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

"- it will travel across seas, across TIME-"

WTF does that mean? :question:
Are they immortal? Or do they have a time machine? Are they ruled by Prince Namor?

must be where that saying "having a whale of a time" comes from...

:bouncegiggle:  

Did I mention the "English" is wrong on the poster WITH ALL THEM WERDZ?  "The Killer Whale," ...  Comma???   :question: COMMA???!  :hatred:

I remember this one being in the ads when it was new:
GREAT WHITE (1981)
Starring Vic Morrow who of course met his sad fate a year later.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPA6vNKHIqg#)
I remember ORCA-- the scene where the baby pod plops out of the mom onto the deck of the ship-- yucky!

UP FROM THE DEPTHS (1979)
Pretty stupid looking knockoff of JAWS but with a prehistoric monster in lieu of a shark, though it seems to resemble one a bit.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB0CItMBz6Q#)

TINTORERA (1977)
Unusual flick with the shark being sort of a secondary story-- the main focus in this Italian cheapie is a love triangle, with sexy little Susan George involved!
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZS0ANyg6jw#)

And just for fun, the MST3K episode of DEVIL FISH (1984).
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqsYyFRMVWA#)

I saw this on TV years ago. I was telling my family about it and they didn't believe me. I need to see if I can find a copy of this.

JAWS THE REVENGE was a very very  Bad Jaws rip-off!
The f**king shark follows Sheriff Brady's family no matter where on f**king earth they are.

So why don't they just stay out of the f**king ocean!?

Joe Dante's "Piranha" (1978) is one of my favorite Jaws wanna-be's.

Legend has it that Spielberg hired him for "Twilight Zone: The Movie" after seeing "Piranha," which he called "The best Jaws ripoff I've ever seen."

Of course, the legendary "Piranha II: The Spawning" is worth a few laughs as well. Those flying piranhas look like huge leather handbags with teeth. :D

I always wondered what gimmick they would've used for a "Piranha III" ... "first they could swim, then they could fly, NOW they can TALK!"

Or with radioactive eye lasers!
I love the PIRANHA movies.

I guess ALLIGATOR counts too.

someone (possibly me) made a thread on here a while back asking if any film had depicted someone getting killed by a shark prior to JAWS... iirc no one could think of any examples?

SHARK! (1969)
This is a cheesily put together version of the original trailer, but it's an older flick with some shark attacks in it.  Burt Reynolds stars and Samuel Fuller directed.  Mr. Fuller was p**sed that the promoters used a real-life death of a stuntman/diver attacked by a shark to their advantage.  He demanded to have his name taken off the film to no avail.

@russell, thanks. I thought there must be at least one movie where it happened!

BARRACUDA (1978)

I never seen it, but it's got Jason Evers-the crazy Doc in the BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE in it- so it's gotta be good!
And William (Sinbad!) Kerwin!

I did see that one on Youtube if it is one you want to watch Ronnie.

I will. Right now, in fact, because I'm really drunk and high and need munchies and movie.

There are rip offs, but there are few rip offs of rip offs. Meet Claws which was a rip off of Grizzly, which itself was a rip off of Jaws.

And I have to agree about Orca. While I may dislike many of the movies I see, I seldom hate them with the passion I hated Orca. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I saw it on TV, so I didn't waste my money on a ticket to see it in the theater.

russel - ugh i recall really disliking tintorera. dumb macho guys and they were hurting real sharks at one point. or fish or something

 :buggedout: +  :teddyr: :teddyr:

I saw this on VHS in the 1980s: no spoilers, but I really didn't see that ending coming  :buggedout:

I can't remember the ending. Going to have to watch it again now.

I passed out in front of the TV- so I only saw the beginning!
