i have no idea why a guy like enzo castellari would stoop to such a wholesale rip off of the jaw movie and but be talk about the wacky world of italian cinema and so who know . castellari never cease to amaze me with his action pack and stylistic film like street law and the big racket and and although folk say that he lose it a bit during the eighty and the last shark be the only film i have see by him that less than great ( c amon bronx warrior and the new barbarian be still a hoot and despite their limitation ) . the plot be a bit of jaw and a bit of jaw two mixed together . we have get an italian b movie cast from heaven james franciscus ( cat o nine tail ) be our hero and with vic morrow ( bronx warrior ) a the pseudo scottish robert shaw facsimile and joshua sinclair a the troubled mayor torn between his poll and the safety of his folk and romano puppo a a shark hit man ( or something like that ) and with giancarlo prete and massimo vanni turn up a a ruthless film crew . basically represent it jaw . a large great white turn up in the sea outside of town and start eat folk . the mayor doesn not really want to shut the beach due to an upcoming regatta and and vic morrow offer his hand in waste the troublesome fish . the plot be so nearly identical that spielberg sue the film right out of the usa . it never come near the original level of tension and and there not much by way of shock ( the head pop out from under the boat bit in jaw be a classic ) and but i would say that the last shark be mainly interest for fan of castellari himself and as well a his perpetually recur actor . every non shark orientate shot be full of primary colour represent blue and yellow and red abound . there a ton of style inject into these proceeding and plus plenty of castellari slow motion and and the usual gore ( though not so much a jaw ) . the last shark start off well and slump slightly in the middle and and pick up again towards the end when joshua sinclair try his hand at fish the shark out the water use a helicopter . plus and any film that have massimo vanni be bite in half earns extra point . at the end of the day though and it still a blatant rip off of jaw and and the low budget rear it head whenever shark footage appear and with some dodgy model and terrible stock footage . some copy of this film be very dark too and which would hamper view ( although the first version i watch and on italian television and be as clear a anything ) . for enzo castellari fan only his mark be all over this film . check out vic morrow scottish accent too . i have never hear a scotman talk like that and and i live there .
