Killer Whale miscarriage and death by tail are one of the few moments that provide laughs, but don't try watching this one without some good friends who also like to watch bad movies for fun.

Ugh. How Harris and Rampling got roped into this, I don't know. A bad ripoff of Jaws, which predates Jaws: The Revenge in the "Vengeful Sealife Seeks Payback" subgenre. Stupid whale got what it had coming to it in Jaws 2.

I watched this movie very often and fiercely when I was much much younger, feeling for the whale and hating the protagonist. Today I see that the movie cannot hold up in terms of plot and character development. It's one-dimensional and only Richard Harris' performance is convincing to some degree.

Preposterous but well-presented aquatic revenge drama, elevated above mediocrity by some good performances and an incredible music score.

This movie was so much better when I was like 10. Now, it's kind of hilarious at times.

After the _King Kong_ remake, this Dino De Laurentiis-financed _Jaws_ copy didn't look too promising but really isn't all *that* bad. With equal helpings of the touching and the absurd, this features Rampling as a chi-chi marine biologist sporting an endless wardrobe right out of "Vogue", and Derek in her first important film role as a girl whose leg is bitten off by Orca.

Very underrated. Sure it's a take off from Jaws two years earlier, but it's good in it's own right, worth a rental atleast.

It isn't completely inept; Harris and Rampling are always worth watching, and the final, frozen scenes are momentarily arresting, but as Giant Fish movies go this one is mostly a flounder.
