How AWESOME was this movie!?!?

So his name is David Ziegler, but I'm pretty sure we don't find this out until we see his tombstone(even though we know there's no way he's dead). Somehow there is storyline to this movie, even though we have about six solid minutes of translatable dialogue. This movie is about diamonds/gems? Sure, and Paco is the same guy who plays Huggie Bear. Anyway, personal favorite line of the movie has got to be when the unstoppable Treat Williams fights off a shark and heroically states...."*beep* you". 9/10 stars

Over all i would have to say....GREAT! Only reason I gave this movie 8/10 was because we didnt get to see Maria's tits. And I think the black guy should have turned into a bad guy at the end. Those two things would have made the movie flawless.

Instant classic... best film of the 80s. I would have liked a little more character development, like finding out the main characters name before the 2 hour mark. The nude scene was definitely filmed last and thrown in randomly to please the masses. And the shark- what kind of an agenda did this beast have? He just hangs out at the bottom of the ocean til something disturbs the water, then its KILL TIME! 9/10

Actually, the shark seemed to live in Treat William's front yard, and just wait for people to jump in the water. For me, the part where I stopped watching with a bemused sort of distaste and really started clapping and cheering was during the first shark attack, when the shark is GROWLING! That made the movie for me. (I guess it was a tiger shark...)

Is this the movie where Treat Williams drives around in his hopped-up jeep and slings petrol bombs at people? Doesn't he snatch a bowie knife from a dead sharks mouth? If so, I saw this movie years ago and have been trying to remember the name ever since.

I also believe there's a pair of naked tits within the first five minutes.

Disembodied naked tatas floating in the air, this and an empty flask of Energine make for boredom. But what else is there in life?

If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.

What other movie do you see a shark try to steal a boat? LOL

[–] bloody-3 9 years ago

The title alone is good for a laugh - NIGHT OF THE SHARKS where all of the shark footage is day time.

Exactly! The shark grabs the rope and pulls Treat’s boat out to sea and he jumps in and swims after it. What a wacky movie.

Not very. I found this movie to be mediocre at best.
