Multi-Plex Mash-Up :: More BITE than JAWS, with Burt Reynolds as the BAIT! (October, 1975)

 

 

 

 

 

Man-Eater is actually a Samuel Fuller retread from 1969, re-released in 1975 for SOME reason.  It was originally released as either Shark, Caine or Twist of the Knife depending on which source you’re consulting. The film is somewhat notorious because a stuntman was actually killed by a shark while filming. And perhaps not in the most tasteful of moves, the producers decided to tout that fact in the initial ad campaigns, a decision that, along with some extensive re-editing, caused Fuller to disavow the film altogether.

I first saw Samuel Fuller’s Run of the Arrow under the alternate title, The Last Bullet, on the late-late show many moons ago. Kind of a nastier, edgier version of Dances with Wolves (that final massacre is just brutal), this was my introduction to both Fuller and Rod Steiger and it needs to be seen by a lot more folks.
