Riding the wave of post-Jaws shark mania, Enzo Castellari’s The Last Shark delivers an wildly entertaining slice of Italian exploitation cinema. When a massive great white begins terrorizing a coastal resort town, a local author and a rugged shark hunter race to stop the bloodshed before the summer festivities. Accused of ripping off Spielberg’s killer-shark flick, The Last Shark became a surprise box-office hit in the United States before Universal Pictures successfully sued to have it pulled from theaters. (Italy, USA, 1981, 88 mins, PG, English | Dir. Enzo Castellari)
