6 April 2022
A Great White begins terrorizing a sea location , then Peter Benton : James Franciscus and Ron Hamer : Vic Morrow attempt to save a number of swimmers in the coastal resort. Along the way, the large shark attacks and victims run afoul, while doing a real carnage and those serving for lunch. A quiet, restful summer in the lazy town of Port Harbor abruptly to end!. You're what's for dinner.

This is an inferior Shark movie in which a Great White proceeds to cause terror and chaos with average creation of tension, thrills, and brief gore. It is an attempt to cash from Steven Spielberg classic : "Jaws" that follow other inferior sequels : "Jaws 2" by Jeannot Szwarc , "Jaws 3" by Joe Alves, "Jaws the vengeance" by Joseph Sargent, but in "The Last Shark" resulting to be a shameful and absurd rip-off with little connection to the previois Jaws saga . The shark attacks deliver the goods with so-so special effects, though the final climax is really ridiculous and disconcerting. The Last Shark features functional interpretations with no interest. Stars two tarnished American actors who died early at their 50 as James Franciscus and Vic Morrow. Being accompanied by familiar faces from B Italian films , such as : Timothy Brent or Giancarlo Prete, Joshua Sinclair, Massimo Vanni, Romano Puppo, Stefania Girolani : director Enzo G Castellari's daughter, among others.
