Burt plays an arms-dealin' (sans-stache), fast-drivin', hard-drinkin' ladies man in this dark (literally) spaghetti-Western style shark movie. Somehow car chases, the desert, Burt and a deadly shark come together in this kickass film shot in - The Sudan!
Reader reviews:
Author: kinojunkie from United States
The majority of this Fuller film takes place in a little Sudanese village where Burt Reynolds can't seem to leave because of a little arms smuggling incident. He plays his usual tough guy role which is amplified ten times because this IS a Sam Fuller film. It all concerns a rather ridiculous plot involving sunken treasure in shark infested waters. What actually hat makes up 90% of this film is just a lot of macho, stupid and funny moments revolving around theft, fighting, drinking and romancing in a foreign land. Man Eater a.k.a. Shark! is an entertainingly mindless piece of celluloid that will probably go down better with a few drinks and some friends who can appreciate the trashier things in life.
