From the opening dialogue (the likes of which I haven't heard since my daughter stopped drama classes) you know it's going to be special.
This is an Italian remake of an Italian ripoff of Jaws. Complete with footage ripped from the Jaws movies, and Great White (1981), the original ripoff.
A shark is hunting people at a Florida beach. The mayor wants to keep the beach open and run a regatta. The mob are interested for reasons. A local marine park operator is facing foreclosure.
And it comes down to Hulk Hogan, Matt Damon and Luke Perry to stave off the stock footage monster. Okay, not actually those actors, but if you watch the movie you'll know what I mean.
This is glorious B-movie schtick.
It makes one vital improvement on Great White. I felt they missed the opportunity to critique the size of the helicopter in that movie. This revisit (with most of the same footage) addresses that omission. We cheered when we heard the line.
The star wars theme notes (and maybe Indy?) are icing on the cake...
