This is just a dreadful movie. Directed by hack extraordinaire Michael Anderson, who must have deluded himself that he was making something profound (Remember the shot of the killer whale shedding tear? Are you kidding?), with a craptacular script by Sergio Donati filled with howlingly bad dialogue and delivered with unrelieved portentousness by normally good actors like Richard Harris, Charlotte Rampling, Will Sampson and Keenan Wynn, who hopefully all cashed nice paychecks. Forget the Jaws comparisons, this film actually makes de Laurentis' King Kong look good. Too bad though that Dino never fulfilled his promise to pit Orca against King Kong. He would produce a much better monster movie with White Buffalo.
