What A Great and Stylish Movie

I have been continuously surprised that there are not more comments and reviews of this great and stylish movie. It should be stocked in the rental stores, but is not. It should be talked about on a list of coolest 70s movies, but is not. It should be shown more on TV like it was in the 80s--when I first became hooked--and would always keep my eye peeled for when it was on TV again.

That aside, the cast is varied and cool, the plot is simple but effective, the cinematography is awesome, the soundtrack is rad, the 70s aura is cool and stylish---the list goes on. It is a fairly hard movie to find unless one scours the net for sell-sites. I own two copies and need to get more--in case the movie becomes even harder to find than it already is.

They just don't make movies with this type of feel and look anymore. It is the product of a sadly bygone era--but one which if you watch this movie--you can feel as if you are there, hanging out with the gorgeous Marisa Berenson and Margaux Hemingway, the sexy and funky Karen Black, the goofy charm of Lee Majors, the tough guy menace of James Franciscus, the colorful character of Roy Brocksmith, the amusing Gary Collins, and the hilarious guy who played the hotel owener, as the caper develops/unfolds---all against the awesome South American backdrop and the beautiful waters.

Yes, this is one of the best movies of the 70s, underrated (sure, it's influenced by the earlier movie "Pirhana", but has its own unique feel/style), and never fails to elicit longing for a wild and funky time--the late 70s--that will never really be seen or felt again--no matter how hard the revivalists try.
See Killer Fish---it's action-packed, tense, and worth rewatching just to soak in the vibe.
