A ripoff so shameless it's incredible

There are some cynics out there who may look at a movie like Shark Attack or Deep Blue Sea and call it a Jaws rip-off simply because the movie is about sharks. But Cruel Jaws isn’t just a rip-off of Jaws, but an utterly unauthorized remake. (Peter Benchley even receives credit as a writer.) Same lines of dialogue are spoken by their respective “characters,” only these new characters are hollow stereotypes. Instead of Roy Scheider, we get a sweaty sheriff who plays second banana to the Richard Dreyfuss replacement, Wiener Man. And instead of the immeasurably cool and legendary Robert Shaw, we get a freakish-looking doppelgänger of Hulk Hogan (played by Cannibal Holocaust‘s Richard Dew). Everything notable about Jaws is included here, right down to the disbelieving town mayor archetype, but it’s so poorly done – and filled with unending dance scenes – that what was once good is now hysterically stupid.
