Never heard of Enzo G. Castellari's The Last Shark (AKA Great White, AKA L'ultimo squalo), starring James Franciscus and Vic Morrow? I'm Not surprised, seeing how it so shamelessly rips off Jaws and Jaws 2 that Universal sued within a week to keep it out of the theater. So unless you caught it during it's tiny theatrical run back in 1981 (or a Castellari fan), you probably missed it.
As far as bad movies go, it's actually pretty good. Yeah it's shamelessly derivative, but Castellari's a pretty solid director who know his shit. Some time ago RetroVision Entertainment somehow cut a deal allowing the film to finally see domestic release. And now, a Blu Ray might be in the works - if the audience is there. From their facebook:
So yes, if you like the bad movies, you could do worse. . . .

LAST SHARK BLU UPDATE: Our partner has been given a hefty price for licensing the film for Blu-ray, but, if the support is truly there, it can happen. Share this picture and comment if you want to see "The Last Shark" on Blu-ray for the first time ever for its 35th anniversary! This cover is mock-up made to help the cause, and might just end up being the final art, if the fans love it!
