Sea World will never be the same again.

[MrBaskerville]

So it´s Moby Dick with an Orca?

 

[brazuca]

You know what?! Monster movies are weird!!

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Clearly, someone on the Dishonored development team developed a phobia of whales as a result of this movie, because that's the only reason whales get horribly mistreated in the game lore.

 

[Quijiboh]

You know what? I really like Schlocktober, but this is the first one that's made me seriously want to go out and watch this movie.

Captcha: Stay safe. Bit late for Richard Harris.

 

[Red Oni]

Ouch! That whale just took Bo Derek from a 10 to a 8.5

 

[MB202]

I used to call them killer whales, but now I call them Orcas, because killer whales, regardless of how true that name is in the wild, seems to condescending to me.

 

[leviadragon99]

Whoa... okay that is surprisingly kicksss.

 

[Orks da best]

Well... that was one smart orca. Anyone got a harpoon? The ocean feels a little less safe now.

I was WAITING for someone to make a Moby Dick reference! BOB! You're slipping!

Though, honestly, if the guy actually quoted Moby Dick, it probably would have crappified the movie a bit...

 

[Fayathon]

Color me intrigued, and for monster movies that usually takes some doing. I might have to find this thing and watch it now.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

So a "horror" movie has shots of whales swimming majestically to melodic mood music? ...what?

 

[Chris Mosher]

While I prefer Piranha as the superb Jaws knock off because of Joe Dante's humour, I may have to re-watch this one and see if my opinion changes.

 

[themilo504]

When you said that the first part of the orca.s plan could be possible I like to know what you were smoking because 1 I don?t even a orca can eat that much fish 2 there not that smart and if they are I say we put them on the top 3 things that may exterminate humanity in the future.

Weird Al already made that joke on I Love the 70s, so... Not quite as funny as it should have been.

OT: I've actually heard of Orca and seen the miscarriage footage. It is incredibly uncomfortable (But Squishy Reproductive part shots are always going to be for me), but this still sounds like something I really would consider watching. It feels more like a good movie than a silly knockoff, and that's what ropes me in.

Good show, Moviebob.

 

[Daveman]

Didn't that ice berg bit also happen in futurama?

Except it's the whale that wants revenge.

If only Melville have managed to pen Moby Dick 2!

I've been caught! You haven't seen the last of me! Hahaha! (tosses smoke bomb)

 

[Mortamus]

Well, here's to more awesome monster movies with insane ideas.

Didn't that ice berg bit also happen in futurama?

Why yes, it did. It ate all the penguins.

I knew I recognized that scene in Orca from somewhere.

As for the movie itself, the thought of the orca knowing enough to blow up that building blew my mind, I know there's the whole suspension of disbelief but seriously after that it could've used a gun and I wouldn't have been surprised.
