Of the B-movie fullow-ups to the successful Jaws, the Mexican Tintorera: Killer Shark is one of the more interesting pieces. This is mainly due to the fact that they dared to shoot the action with real sharks, and therefore the underwater sequences and the tiger shark attack scenes look really impressive. However, there is a dark side to this, as the underwater creatures were actually hunted on camera and these scenes are definitely not pleasant to watch. The real and guileless fun is offered by the rather overdone romantic storyline, which is practically reminiscent of a sexploitation with its intricacy, erotic charge and constant nudity, and which, in combination with the charmingly awkward acting of Hugo Stiglitz, is really, really hilarious.
