Flickers from the Cave

Episode 119 - Franciscus-Fest


Listen Later

We're not sure it's fair to call these movies "rip-offs" but...they are kinda rip-offs, but really, really entertaining ones! Both of the movies this time feature James Franciscus in the lead role, and deadly animals underneath the water!  We start off with 1979's "Killer Fish", which also stars Lee MajorsKaren Black and a lagoon full of hungry piranha! We follow that up with a 1981 "tribute" to Jaws that went by a million titles but we watched a copy called "L'Ultimo Squalo" ( The Last Shark ).  It adds Vic Morrow to the mix as a sort of Irish Captain Quint, with the emphasis on "sort of Irish".  We enjoyed both of these movies a lot and recommend them fully, just don't go in expecting them to be good in any sort of traditional way.
