Wow, I never even heard of this movie and I consider myself a giant monstermovie fan.. Bought it at the local DVD store for €2,00. Thanks for the review!

Holy Sh*t,

This review nails it.  After years of small flashback memories I finally got the name of this movie I saw when I was about 7 or 8.  The last flashback I got was yesterday while at SeaWorld with the kids.  I saw a sea turtle sunning itself on a little beach.  When I got home I took advantage of our state of the art internet system and typed in the search window the bits and pieces I remembered.  Giant turtle, the name Jenny (Jennie), and a black man who couldn't swim or was drowning.  Wow!! I never knew until today this was a star studded cast (Connie Selleca and Apollo Creed/Action Jackson!!).  The past 32 years of my life since watching this movie was like having a song stuck in my head.  Hopefully, I can youtube some clips.  I'll probably now sleep better and finally have a sense of closure.

This movie is remembered in a different way than other movies by those tha saw it when it originally aired on TV in the late 70's or early 80's (if you caught it on a re-broadcast). Until the internet made it possible to search for movies using keywords many thought that they had dreamed seeing the film, and could never quite remembering clearly anything but a beautiful girl and a giant turtle.
Seein the movie today, it is just another B movie, but it's impact on young minds back in the day is unique to cinema. I can recall no other film that has had this same effect.
