I think I watched it once on network TV and that was enough.
Obviously cashing in on the Jaws infamy.
Just not as good of a story and well done.
Or if it was done the other way around perhaps Orca would be the cult favorite instead?
I would really like to know what motivated or what the pitch was to a stellar performance cast.
How desperate were they to pay some bills?
Charolette is so attractive.
Loved her in The Verdict.
Good thing the casting director overlooked her role in this crummy movie.
You say you have never heard of an orca getting revenge on a human?
A few years ago one killed its trainer…. I mean…. animal abuser at a Sea World.
I’d like to think it was aware of what it was doing and I have no sympathy.
Good on the killer whale on living up to its name.
Thank you for the mention of the cruelty of this business and the shout out to Blackwater.

I wasn't aware of the whole thing until four years ago. Yeah, I am sure the killer whale snapped one day and took it out on the trainer. No sympathy, either. If Orca was made before Jaws or rather Jaws was never made, it would probably make the movie easier because I was constantly thinking of Jaws throughout…I just couldn't take it off my mind, no matter how hard I tried.
