The Deadliest Sharks Aren't Always In The Water
Burt Reynolds gives the most amazing performance of his young career in the role which launched his sex symbol status. The combination of brilliant direction by Samuel Fuller and specialized, dangerous stunt dives (the shark infested waters claimed the life of one of one stunt man during filming, Life Magazine even ran pictures of Shark's tragedy!) make this film more frighteningly real and original than even Steven Spielberg's box-office smash Jaws.
The Troma Team is proud to present world famous romance/action star Burt Reynolds (Cannonball Run, Deliverance, Boogie Nights) in the 1969 classic deep sea adventure Shark directed by the legendary independent filmmaker Samuel Fuller (Shock Corridor, Naked Kiss, China Gate, The Big Red One).
Burt Reynolds stars as Kane, a smooth, fast talking gun-runner who loses his shipment of arms and becomes stranded in a small port city on the Mediterranean. Finding himself hard up for cash, he tries to scam his way out of town without success. His luck changes when he runs into Anna (Silvia Pinal), a seductive siren of the sea. Anna propositions Kane to work for her and her partner, the Professor (Arthur Kennedy), who are supposedly doing research in the shark infested waters off the coast.
