Great White [The Last Shark / L'ultimo Squalo (1981)] - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - January 12, 1982

Sandwiched between screenings of the far superior Raiders of the Lost was this sneak preview for what was fast to become an infamous footnote in exploitation film history.

Universal Pictures was not all that impressed with, nor the slightest bit appreciative of, this blatant Italian knock-off of Jaws and Jaws 2. They filed a legal complaint and got the movie pulled from theatrical release. Although readily available in markets outside the United States territories, and thus available to stream on a variety of online sites, a legitimate release of the film remains frustratingly off the table.
