Rating: [PG] violence

Feat. Richard Harris, Charlotte Rampling, Bo Derek, Keenan Wynn, Robert Carradine

Aroview: A killer whale goes feral after its pregnant mate is slayed by grizzly fisherman Richard Harris in this largely maligned JAWS spinoff from the dir. of LOGAN'S RUN. While the special effects are rather fishy, Charlotte Rampling and Bo Derek provide ample flesh to be chewed on (or off).

3 stars (Good Enough) The Orca segments (literally) looked authentic. I found nothing wrong with Orca sticking its nose into other people's business (boats) and was a good way of getting the message across to those bastards that hunt whales. ~Tubbs

3 stars (Good Enough) Good story, well written script, fine acting - especially subtle from Rampling. Some of the scenes involving the orca were particularly graphic and horrific. Probably necessary to prove the point at the time the film was made, but still hard to watch ~River
