20 years after Spielberg’s classic, this movie plagiarized Jaws!

You know at least by the name Jaws aka Jaws, directed by Steven Spielberg in 1975 and whose release started the modern Hollywood blockbuster operating system. But have you ever seen the brutal Jaws, the shark movie that, 20 years after the original film, tried to rewrite it to the point of caricature?

Beware of nasty plagiarism!

Its story begins with a shark that sinks a boat by attacking vertically from below! A dead crew member washes up on a beach in Hampton Bays, Florida. Local police chief and coroner Bill Morrison attributes the cause of death to a shark, and the young swimmer is also a victim of this creature. But because of these two incidents, the mayor refuses to cancel a windsurfing race planned soon. Does this remind you of anything?

We already talked about the wonderful Bruno Mattei when we talked about his terrible Terminator II, but the director-producer didn’t stop there. Six years later, he did it again by plagiarizing one of the most iconic films of pop culture, repeating scenes like or almost (we think the scene of the attack on Mbane in the first quarter of an hour, or the mayor who does not want to give in to a very real danger).

Swimming is prohibited

To drown the fish (ahem), Bruno Mattei adds a “Disney” subplot in which the owner of a water park fights to save his business in the face of an entrepreneur who wants to destroy it to build a hotel complex, but his ploy does not work: his film is completely “pumped” on the Jaws Saga films, until , that certain images in his film come directly from Spielberg and his sequels!

It should also be noted that images from the finale of Deep Blood (1990) – in which the shark explodes – are also shamelessly used, as are the underwater dives from La Mort au broad (1981), both filmed in Italy. In total, there are almost six brutal Jaws movies mixed into one! Maybe we are not far from the record…
