Mako: The Jaws of Death (1976)
* (out of 4)
William Grefe's film about a lonely man who befriends the sharks and soon trains them to kill. Universal sued the filmmakers of this claiming it was a Jaws rip-off, which it somewhat is but the film owes more to the director's Stanley, which was nothing more than a Willard rip. Either way, this is a pretty bad movie that doesn't have too much going for it except for some of the underwater scenes with the sharks. None of these rips will ever be as good as Jaws but there aren't too many as bad as this one here.
