| Jennifer Ashley's climactic scene image for TINTORERA: KILLER SHARK Year: 1977 Rating: **1/2 |
If the sexually-driven/dream-vacationing ménage à trois of the 1980's SUMMER LOVERS were a 1970's JAWS-clone then you'd have the extremely bizarre Mexican exploitation TINTORERA: KILLER SHARK where, in familiar form, one character complains that the beaches should have been closed...
But by that time it's almost over, before which two Mexican playboys... one a vulnerable blond millionaire with a yacht and the other a shallow dark-haired womanizing shark hunter... have two consecutive affairs with two different sexy British babes played by Fiona Lewis and Susan George respectively; and the first vanishes, mysteriously to the boys, but the audience had seen her eaten by not only a shark (Chrissie Watkins anyone?) but THE shark...
