10 Jaws Clones without Sharks : Horror Timelines Lists Episode 14

[@chrismaguire9032]

Orca is fucking nuts and a true story isn’t it?

[@peteg475]

Saw Orca in the theater, and there's a very memorable line in it that has stuck with me. Richard Harris is in the Church confessional, and he asks the priest, "Father, can you commit a sin against an animal?" The reply was, "You can commit a sin against a blade of grass, my son." Meaning of course, it's all about your mindset, and whether you're being cruel and thoughtless in the act.

[@TheNothing6]

Meanwhile, the Priest was committing his own sins with the Altar Boys!

[@robertodell9193]

yup. universal wanted someone more known and marketable for the Thing score than Carpenter doing it himself. imagine their surprise when Morricone's score essentially sounded like a Carpenter track.

[@BrooklynChivalry]

I’ve never considered Orca to be a “Jaws” rip-off, because it has nothing in common with Spielberg’s film nor Peter Benchley’s novel, aside from being sea creatures. Orca is more of an updated and inverted Moby Dick, and was adapted from a novel by Arthur Herzog. Audiences felt sympathy for Orca, but feared Jaws.

[@loschrodproductions4519]

Actually, the Orca Novel is a novelization of the movie

[@medes5597]

But Orca only exists because De Laurentis told the producer to find "a bigger and deadlier fish than the great white" and the producer and screenwriter were both picked after they said they'd seem Jaws. It doesn't feel the same and id argue its got more going for it than most cash in films but its an open and shit rip off imo.

[@Hektols]

Orca was unfairly treated on it's day as a Jaws clone, it was not, it was a story of revenge. Unlike other movies the audience rooted for the non-human antagonist.

[@jackj9816]

Nah I always go for the animals

[@Aster_Iris]

Well, to be fair, it was originally intended as a knockoff, given the initial idea was "find me a fish that's even meaner than the great white shark and we'll make a movie about it", but it's clear to see during production it became so much more than what it started off as. There's good reason why some say that it's actually even better than Jaws (while it is pretty much apples and oranges, I am somewhat part of that crowd since it's such an emotionally impactful movie. It's not as well made, we've got fairly cheap greenscreens vs Spielberg, regarding production quality it's no contest, but the story it tells hits harder and has more complexity IMO).

ORCA IS AN AMAZING FILM IT'S ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES

[@Bullboy_Adventures]

I can't watch orca without becoming so emotional. It just hits an animal lover like me right in the feels. Also, I'm surprised nobody is saying orca is a Moby dick ripoff, as it has the same premise, only instead of the man hunting the whale for revenge, its the whale hunting the man.

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

Its probably also the first movie to show a sentient creature doing a very human emotional reaction to having its loved ones murdered. The Orca is the hero of the movie. The monsters being the humans.

[@TheHolyPanda101]

Orcas aren't whales but related to dolphins but I get your point

[@lutherheggs451]

I've never understood why we continue to call Orcas whales. They're not whales, they're dolphins, thats why they have the appearance of dolphins, the intelligence of dolphins and even their teeth have the same shape as dolphins teeth. Yet we continue to call them whales, even after we scientifically proved that they are part of the dolphin family.

[@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677]

So Maneater but with an Orca?

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

@@lutherheggs451 1. Orca's are still by many considered whales due to yes the mistake that they are whales by the name Killer Whale and also cause Orca's are Giants compared to the more human sized Dolphins. The size and look does make them appear as small whales. Humans are kinda unable to grasp the reality of some things being above whats normal especially if they don't take the time to study it. Some tend to only accept what they are told or written. Killer Whale: Okay its a Whale that kills. Many humans go simply by the pure concept that the simple answer is the best answer. Its difficult for many to grasp the reality of some things like a oversized dolphin that hunts whales, sharks, and anything else that it finds interesting. Here is what your average mundane human that never went to aquirum or bothered to look up actual stuff online would think. Whale a large creature that is about the size of a boat or larger usually friendly except for a few exceptions. Massive and powerful Dolphin a fast animal about the size of a human or smaller and is friendly not that powerful and need large groups Killer Whale: About the size of a small boat powerful, intimidating, kills pretty much anything it can get its teeth on. It has been reported to kill whales as well. okay it must be a predatory small whale cause dolphins don't get that big. 2. Ancient Sailors and up to even the modern era actually had reconized them as Dolphins or porpoise for quite a while. They had identified them not as Killer Whales but as Whale Killer. Which is a fairly accurate description of them. It was known that during that whale hunts Orcas would sometimes help Whalers hunt down specific Whales and well the Whale was being butchered, the Whales would wait until the humans would cut out the tongue for them to eat or specific parts. Its likely the term Killer Whale was created cause some journalist describing the Orca's felt it sounded cooler.

For a youngster stillin primary school I absolutely loved it. Though the scene where the dying female aborted her unborn calf did scare me silly. This film began my interest in Orcas and I still love them today. They are so beautiful.

[@deathstar628]

a lil fun fact in relation to the movie orca: during the hiring process trying to make the movie jaws, they had a bunch of directors and producers come in to interview. one of the directors, no shit, thought jaws was supposed to be about a killer whale. when the guys heard this in the interview they were like "uhhhhhh..... i think you have the wrong movie".

[@viennawaits4u36]

Actually saw "Grizzly" in theaters when I was 8-yrs old and it scared me. "Orca" was and is my favorite of all the "Jaws" knockoffs, the movie introduced me to Richard Harris and what a great actor he was, even when he was in less than great material. Also, was a big fan of Ennio Morricone's score for the movie, actually bought an LP back in the 70's that featured his soundtrack for "Orca". Never even heard of "Tentacles" before in my life until I saw this video. I have to check that one out now. Among the many blatant "Jaws" ripoffs contained in the movie "Tentacles", couldn't help but notice that Bo Hopkins was featured in the film who was also apart of the cast in "American Graffiti" which co-starred Richard Dreyfuss. I guess Paul Le Matt was unavailable at the time.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Orca was amazing 👏 the plot was perfection. I put it right along side with Jaws anyday. The ending when the whale commits suicide to be with his family. Was 1 of the most sadness endings I ever seen and Richard Harris was amazing 👏and there is a film called Killerfish with James Franciscus 1979 that was a good 1 and Barracuda 1978 was another kool film 🎥

Orca was my first DVD ever. Ennio Moriconne did the music and it gets me every time.

[@sgt.marcusstacker]

Really neat list, I always enjoy a cheesy monster flick. However I must mention 2 more Jaws parodies that weren’t on the list: “The Beast” and it’s sequel “Eye Of The Beast”.

Orca was actually a really good movie. I felt so bad for the orca to. I wonder if an orca would actually avenge their dead mate if a human killed them in front of them because they are very smart and have emotions just like us.

[@EditorOfSL]

Probably not. They’d probably stay around the area their mate had died in. Orcas and dolphins tend to mate for life, so if they lost their mate, they’d definitely mourn but somehow I doubt they’d know who exactly had killed them.

Incidentally, orcas have been observed to obsess and become vengeful. We have had an issue over the past year off the northern coast of Spain with a pod that apparently had a bad encounter with the motor of a fishing trawler or something and began attacking every boat coming through the area, which sees a lot of traffic by competitive canoa racers. A lot of them got quite a fright, being rammed and coming in with their rudders chewed off. ;)

[@ryan7021]

I love these videos

[@Mokiefraggle]

I remember seeing only a small part of Orca when I was like...8 at the oldest (the part I recall the most was where the pregnant female orca is dragged onto the boat and miscarries, which I only remember seeing as this horrific mass of blood and flesh bursting out of the whale), and I'm pretty sure it scarred me for life. I couldn't go near a swimming pool unless there were other people in it for years after that, especially if it was dark, as I seem to recall more than a few shots in dark water during the attacks in the film. I think I find Orca infinitely more disturbing than Jaws in many ways, both for the fact that the orca is so much more clearly plotting and doing this deliberately than the shark did anything, and because we're given a clear and rather horrifying reason *why* it's doing these things. Fun fact: the actual living whales in the film were apparently not from Sea World! They were actually from Marineland of the Pacific (which would later be bought out by Sea World, but was in LA, and had been around since before Disneyland), and Marine World Africa USA, now known as Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

Timothy Bottoms had an impressive start appearing in The Last Picture Show and The Paper Chase. But in the 1980s, his career hit the skids. Tentacles is so aggravating. Henry Fonda, John Huston and Shelly Winters all seem like they're going to be major characters but half-way through they just disappear. And yes, that huge hat is something else. Orca, I like, because the humans are the villains. And it really shows the dangers of game fishing as the Richard Harris character doesn't understand the significance of orcas in the oceans.

Even if it's worth the wait the moose is still gonna look fake, "snoogens".

I imagine it may be further delayed if the animated "Masters of the Universe" revival he is doing for Netflix is successful and gets more than 1 season. Though, if his newfound relationship with Netflix is successful it may be the vehicle for the next few features he has planned. However, in the past Netflix has already passed on a Mallratz sequel series and or film so i wouldnt put my eggs in that basket. But in truth, I would welcome new entries in the "veiwaskewniverse" and The Great North Saga(which began with the amazing"Tusk") on Netflix as opposed to the next "HappyMaddison" Netflix Original. 🤢

For some reason when you said, Tanya Roberts, my mind flashed to Tanya Harding. I don't know why, but it was a moment of confusion for me as I wondered how those two things could be connected, and then you said, 'Too Soon', and I remembered how Tanya was declared dead before she was declared alive and then dead again. Good job.

Orca is actually a good movie in its own right. Not sure I'd say its a Jaws ripoff, considering its about a killer whale getting revenge on the man that killed his family. Kind of a reverse of the typical sea goin maneater trope

I Keep noticing Sopranos actors in old monster movies. First Richie Aprile was flying a plane in Monster Squad, and now Bobby Bacala senior in Blood Beach.
