109. "Great White"
I'm in two minds about this one, though.:dilemma:

It's a low-budget, spaghetti Jaws rip-off with James Franciscus and some really cheezy, unbelievable "special" effects.

The shark is truly one badass denizen of the deep here, even though from some angles he looks like a blimp (and his fins, instead of being stable and immobile, flap like a penguin's wings).

He is so smart that he knows that if he pushes rocks, he can trap divers in a cave. :yoiks:
He manages to pull a freakin' HELICOPTER out of the air. :hide:
Just to show you how badass he is, and to get everybody into the right frame of mind (shityerdrawers terrified), he jumps out of the water...and ROARS. :rofl:

I saw this phrase on FARK:
"...it goes so far through the FAIL spectrum that it wraps clear around and goes straight into WIN.
Describes this movie quite well.
Too bad MST3K never got this one...they'd have had a field day!
