5.0 out of 5 stars Air Jaws is great!, August 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Air Jaws - Sharks of South Africa [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I recently saw the TV version of this show on the Discovery channel. The one hour documentary is filmed in South Africa off of Seal Island where South African fur seals congregate each winter. With the seals come the great white sharks. The great white sharks create a 'ring of death' around the island where they actively hunt the fur seals as the come and go from the island. For years fisherman and more recently scientists have observed the phenomenon of sharks 'breaching' or breaking the the surface of the chilly waters to pursue the fur seals. The show primarily focuses on a group of scientists' attempt to understand why the breaching takes place here - great whites have never been observed displaying this type of behavior in any other parts of the world. I really enjoyed this video because it is very impressive to view 14-18 foot sharks agressively feeding and jumping the waters to persue their prey. To me the main attraction to this video is that it is very different from every other great white shark documentary that I've ever seen - it's not just a bunch of footage of a great white attacking a shark cage or feeding off of a huge slab of meat tied to the side of a boat or interviews of shark attach survivors - this is the great white hunting in a natural habitat performing an extaordinary behavior. I strongly recommend for this video for anybody into watching sharks or the discovery channel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flying Terror, July 14, 2003

This review is from: Air Jaws - Sharks of South Africa [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is one of most interesting I have ever seen. Seeing these huge scary animals hurl themselves out of the water is one of the most amazing things nature has to offer. One of the most interesting things is the part when the dead whale enters the area that the team is studying. That proves to be some of the most unique and exciting footage ever shot of these incredible animals. I would recommend this film to anyone who has interest in these sharks. I have seen a lot of documentaries about these sharks and this is the only one that I have ever gone out and bought.

"Air Jaws" is the best great white shark documentary I have ever seen. I watch it over and over again. It is very interesting and at times terrifying! I would hate to be a seal. I can say 2 derrogatory things about the film-1.It is too short! 2.It is not on DVD. I would be all over an extended version on DVD. If you are a fan of the Great White, BUY THIS VIDEO!!!!!
