Well, I was thinking of his famous quote regarding his version of KING KONG (which was released the year before Orca). The quote went something like "When-a people see my monkey, everybody going to cry." In other words, according to the man himself, he was going for tears. The opening scenes in Orca are definitely over-the-top in that respect.   
Again, I doubt very much that was demanded by Dino.  Incidentally, I'd hesitate before trusting a source that had him talking like Chico Marx.  He's a very smart guy, and does not have a datsa-spicy-meatball accent, though he does indeed HAVE an accent.
