Borrowing Blockbusters: Jawsploitation - The Best, Best Worst and Weirdest Jaws Knock Offs

The Car
A jaws exploitation???
Really 😐😐😐

Orca is awesome!!💯💯💯

You missed our on a little known Canucksploitation movie called Psycho Pike. A lot of crappy fun, believe me. 😅

I love your channel. Doing God's work.

Great stuff, thank you. I am always looking for Jaws knockoffs I’ve not seen before.

I think my favorite Jawsploitation (Though it should be Duel’sploitation since Jaws is just Duel in the water) films are Alligator, The Car, Prophecy and Piranha

Alligator Released in 1980 is surprisingly good. Written by John Sayles (like Piranha), too. Lewis Teague Directed (The Lady In Red, Fighting Back with tom Skerritt and Yaphet Kotto, Cat's Eye, Cujo, and Jewel of the Nile). Quentin Tarantino is supposedly a very big fan of Teague's 1979 The Lady In Red.

of all that garbage the one that is tempting is Blades. Killer Lawn Mowers. Looks brutal and appropriately funny,

I love great white or the last shark, it has an actual robot

The Beast and Creature were both solid mini series. Better than the Jaws sequels for sure

The Beast was a good movie

This video was sooooooo good!

Question: would you count THE BAY (2012,) a found footage movie by Barry Levinson about a tourist town that has been overrun by parasitic tongue-eating isopods as a JAWS clone?

Asking for a friend.

I LOVE Cruel Jaws -- it's so much fun.

I saw the last shark in the theater in 1982 under the name Great White.

Interestingly the Killer Ants thing if you watch the first season of McGyver (something I strongly recommend) the entire season is Mini movies in each episode and there all really good, there was a episode with the guy who'd later play Lando in Babylon 5 with a giant attack of ants with an inventive way to protect the hero.

There's good shark movies there's bad shark movies and there what the hell was they smoking when they made this crap what ever it is I want some.If we don't have people going into the water then there is no movie if we don't have town mayors who fail to realize public safety is vital as there is plenty of things to do when visiting if the beach is closed or no swimming allowed,unlike movies once a shark is spotted no one goes in the water and tourism isn't hurt by no one allowed in the ocean.

whats the little key that appears at the bottom corner sometimes? three small pics with numbers, too small to make out on me phone...

surprised rogue wasn't mentioned, really has that jaws feel to it and a really good movie about events that probably do happen in austrailia with salt water crocs/salties

I didn’t see mentioned:
The Edge, with Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins.
Classic!

Thank you for your channel and your content.

Watched The Car after watching this video last year and I loved it. I think it's legitimately a great little thriller. Alligator is also fun, but not as good.

ya call a movie misogynist because girls partied in bathing suits, another channel to add to the "never recommend" pile

I wonder if they made a Jaws clone called horns about a killer rhinoceros, I'd like to see that on screen

i knew it was Gamera I wanted this whole time.

I don’t know, the Duel truck is a monster all it’s own

Knowing they killed all those snakes live on camera really dampened my day. Those scumbags.

Orca is great

You mentioned The Lift. It had an American remake by the same director

That Thailand Snake movie is even worse than the crazy snuff stuff I watched when I was in a severe depression and tried to get some feelings even if it was disgust. It didn't work and I got professional help. Anyway this is horrible.

He said misogyny but didn't provide a clip to prove it.

In 1975 i was six years old and way to scared to watch Jaws after only seeing the trailer on TV and the poster but a year later my dad took me to watch Grizzly so i was seven and i loved it..i sat my daughter down one day after finding a vhs copy of it on at the local market (a stall where i also found The Boys In Company C, Timerider,Street Trash and Eddie Kidds Riding High, all of which i still own and I’ve upgraded them to the best format available) and her being eight years old didn’t bother me because i knew she’d love it..and she did even though she go a little scared

Very funny, new sub.

Have you seen White Dog (1982)? It's about a dog that was raised to attack black people.

Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds will always be the funkiest horror soundtrack.

Forgot about the other Die Hard on a boat...
Undersiege.

1. Jurassic Shark
2. The Last Shark
3. Winterbeast

Blades is unironically enjoyable. Its shclock and knows its and leans waaaay into it. A real fun watch.

Piranha, Alligator, and Jaws probably have to be some of the better and more iconic examples

Could you do a video about the killer bug movie genre starting with the missing spider pit scene in king Kong

Craziest part about grizzly is that there was a toy line from imperial toys!

What about Rattler's and the incredible Kingdom of the Spider's with William Shatner?

Animals that have yet to star in Jaws ripoffs.
1. Hippos
2. Jellyfish
3. Dolphins
4. Deer
5. Snapping turtles
6. Catfish
7. Eels
The first one is kinda fitting given that hippos kill more people than crocodiles

Just discovered your channel (and your books! 😳) and have been making my way through your back-catalogue of videos, and though I was already planning to subscribe, your execution of the most succinct summary of Gamera: Super Monster I’ve ever seen (in under 30 seconds no less 😄) totally sealed the deal. Bravo! 😁

I cannot stress enough how happy I am to have discovered your channel.

It is direct continuation of celebrating everything cinematography is as an art form, written insanely well and presented in a sneer-inducing manner, as if every moment shown is a inside-joke shared with us, the enjoyers of everything silly and strange: fellow movie goers.

Great retrospective but you could probably do one just on "Alligator" ripoffs since so many of them were left out here (rogue, primeval, crawl, black water, etc) crocosploitation? Allisploitation?

Never touch the bird indeed.
