Days before the annual Regatta celebration, the townspeople are faced with financial ruin if something isn't done about their newfound shark problem. If that wasn't enough, the owners of the local amusement park have been subject to a hostile takeover from a prospective businessman looking to cash in on their prized property. It's up to the sheriff, the park's owner, and a shark expert to head out and destroy the killing fish before the summer economy is slashed and the park is left for the bulldozer. Directed by Italy's foremost expert on rip-off cinema, Bruno Mattei (under the name William Snyder), Cruel Jaws features a heap load of footage taken from Enzo Castellari's The Last Shark, as well as snippets from the first two Jaws flicks, plus musical cues from none other than Star Wars. ...Cruel Jaws ( Fauci Crudeli ) ( Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws )

JAWS Lover "Biggest JAWS fan ever!" (North Carolina,GB USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cruel Jaws ( Fauci Crudeli ) [PAL] (DVD)

If you haven't already guessed it,its a JAWS Rip Off by none other than BRUNO MATTEI (Credited as WILLIAM SNYDER).Many people criticize this movie a lot,but I actually enjoyed the film...especially the HOT babes in the film ;).Bruno Mattei obviously did not have a big enough budget for a shark so he went on to steal footage from JAWS 1 2 3,The Last Shark(Mostly from this film),and Joe D'amato's Deep Blood.The movie also lifts a part from the STAR WARS theme as I pointed out in the Title for my review.

The film is about a navy trained tiger shark(Shows a Great White throughout the whole film :P) that invades Hampton Bay.The Mayor and his friend Samuel Lewis do not want to close to beaches because the MOB is involved...DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH.But the shark attacks the regatta and the mob is upset with Lewis and hire thugs to take care of it..Meanwhile,Sam also sent an EVICTION notice to Dag Sorenson(owner of Sea World and a HULK HOGAN Clone)and Gloria Lewis(Sam's daughter) is in love with Bob Sorenson(Dags son).The Lew-mister finds out due to a pain in the but Ronnie Lewis tells on his sister.Dag has no problem about it though.NO MORE DETAILS OR I WILL SPOIL IT FOR YA :P

In the film,there is a FARTING Shark.YES A FARTING SHARK!!!As one of the THUG members tries to shoot the shark,the shark farts and then goes underwater...HERE IS THE CLIP: [...]

The DVD has no BONUS MATERIALS but just a biography of Bruno Mattei's movies.There is only a 2.0 English track (Sounds very Muffled :( ) and a 5.1 Italian track (With the pitch raised higher)Now thats pretty cheap for a 5.1 track.There is only Italian Subtitles,no english though!The film has been re-masterd from the previous Japan VHS release.

So if you like JAWS,The Last Shark movie,or a guy who talks like a girl,Buy this movie!

Finally, a movie titled "JAWS 5". This film is rip-off steeling footage from Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3, The Last Shark, and Deep Blood. It also steals music from Star Wars and takes actual lines and events from the five movies it rips off. Being the Jaws freak that I am, I enjoyed this movie as much as all the others. The plot is interesting and Scott Silveria, Larry Zeince, and Richard Dew (A Hulk Hogan look alike) are great actors. If you want Jaws 5, get this one!
