That is the killer-whale equivalent to a dude in sunglasses casually walking away from an explosion. That is incredible.
It does not surprise me that Richard Harris was in one of these movies. I've seen his collaborations with Godfrey Ho. It was probably an easy time for both. Harris worked for a month, got paid for 6 and had a nice vacation in the Asian world. Godfrey for enough material out of Harris for about 2 dozen movies.
How did I miss this? I mean I look up Dino De Laurentiis on Wiki and this film doesn't show up on his filmography. It look like someone need to update his info!
That ending scene when the orca slam the ice that guy was on remind me of that Futurama with the penguin. Oh and the joke with Free Willy at the end made me laugh!

I remember my dad talking about this movie when I was little and thanks to the wonderful days of Canal 5's movie trilogy weekends (I miss those), I remember watching this and thinking "meh, this kinda sucks" and mind you, I already watched many 80's horror flicks by then (I seriously miss those weekends).
That was a while ago, I'll definitely need to watch this again.

Lord help us all when the greats of literature act like the movie biz and start penning unnecessary sequels...CK76 said:
CAPTCHA: no-brainer
True that, Captcha...in more ways than one!
Funny enough, there are almost ZERO human fatalities by wild orcas... though the CAPTIVE orcas have attacked a few people.
Still, it's very true that, yes, orcas have been known to beat the living tar out of, and then eat, giant great white sharks. Which is awesome.

If I may chime in, it is pretty much a cheap rip off with no imagination or talent.Vie said:
Monster movies are sort of my major interest, and I've watched a bunchload of them. And Orca is one of the ones I've never enjoyed, before or after growing up. It's pretentious and usually quite boring. It's somewhat of a cult classic though, but in my opinion deserves none of the praise it gets.
Wow, that looks like a surprisingly good watch.
Going to have to find me a copy.
I'm surprised I've never heard of this flick... specially as it features Richard Harris.
Oh well, now I've got a movie to catch up on.

ouh, I remember seeing Orca as a kid, and it definitely left an impression on me even then
I don't remember much, as it's been a while since I last saw it, but I'd always try to catch it if it's on TV
the Whale Jump? in front of the explosion made me lol though
great moment
