Something like this:
Rampling - "Actually, whales are monogamous."
Harris = "Monogamous? What's that?"
They try to portray harris' character as illiterate (can't even say Mythology)this would definitely get some laughs at a revival theater screening, no doubt. -

Harris throws down his weapons and says something like "It's got to be a fair fight, me against him." Okay, 5-ton cetecian against (crazy) 150-lb human I bet on the whale, regardless of home-ice advantage. Fair fight, eh?

'something hit us' You just have to give it up for Oscar Wilde like wordplay of that caliber! I still can't decide if I wasted the hour and a bit I spent watching the movie, the fact I am posting about it on the internet suggests it was not a waste of time. Tis definitely up there with Mike Mendez' Killers for just pure weirdness.

What was so funny aboyt that?
I think most people didn't realise how realistic this movie was.
I've studied killer whales. They DO know vengeance, a killer whale COULD kill a human being with it's fin.
I really think people are to busy trying to bad mouth this movie while comparing it to Jaws, while it's a totally different movie.
Yes, probably it was made beceause of the succes of Jaws, but it's a totally different movie.
As far as we know, sharks can't think. But as we know Killer whales CAN think, they even have a bigger brain then humans do.
So pie your pants all you want, it's pretty realistic what you see in this movie.
If you want to pie, whatch Jaws. That movie has a lot of things going one that no shark in real life would or could do. (Allthough I love the first 2 Jaws movie!!) -

The first poster had the right idea. There are lines that are funny when you think about it (and others just plain good).
For those saying the movie was funny for such "knee-slapping," comical moments of young woman getting her leg bit off, or a man getting smashed against a wall of ice, you have me shaking my head (not that you care).
Making fun of this movie to me is like making fun of "The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)" after watching for the first time today. I saw Orca at the theater in '77. I was a young boy and fairly overwhelmed. And I can tell you (because I was there) nobody laughed during the show. Even the "rib-busting," laugh-out-loud scene of the fetus screaming as it hit the deck surprisingly brought gasps not giggles. -

I did not find that line funny. It drove home how Nolan did not try to gain knowledge of things and how this very thing was part of why he did what he did to the whale.
