Years ago, a plane crashed near the coast with a gazillion dollars on board. Mike Donato (Franco Nero) works as a shark hunter, secretly has found the wreck and hopes to recover the treasure soon. But the American agent Donovan (Michael Forrest) and the local former police captain Gomez (Eduardo Fajardo) hope to get their hands on the treasure, too.
A fast paced, straight forward adventure story about a treasure and a bunch of bad guys chasing the hero - they don't make them like that anymore. In the exotic Mexican location, it's Fun with a capital F from the experienced hands of director Enzo Castellari who previously worked several times with star Franco Nero already and plays one role as Gomez' best killer himself. Eduardo Fajardo was Nero's opponent in "Django" 13 years earlier already. Although shot shortly after 'Jaws', the movie displays a realistic view of sharks. They are not terrible monsters here, but simply animals that usually don't attack humans.
I compared the 92 minutes English language version against the 80 minutes German version. One rather long diving scene was shortened, some hotel dialogs cut, and one scene where one of Gomez' henchmen is harassing the hero's girlfriend. Maybe not essential scenes, but annoying cuts nonetheless.
