In the world of sharksploitation there's before Jaws and there's after Jaws. Jaws is celebrating its fiftieth birthday this year and it's still an admirable movie in just about every way, certainly a highlight of Steven Spielberg's career.

In the before-Jaws era, one of the most notorious movies was Samuel Fuller's Shark! a.k.a. Man-Eater. The studio re-cut the movie and Fuller hated what they did enough to ask them to take his name off it, which they refused to do.

In Sharksploitation it's asserted that this movie contains footage of a real shark attacking and killing a stuntman, that this really happened and can be seen in the moviem, the producers deciding to leave it in for ballyhoo value.

This has apparently been debunked as a hoax but it's presented as fact in Sharksploitation, so watch out for that.

Other than that, all the interviewees in the movie, whether writers or filmmakers or marine biologists or horror-film experts, are engaging and knowledgable and a pleasure to listen to.
