The thing you have to understand about 'Ninja vs Shark' is that for the first hour it's a low-budget but good, serious, dramatic samurai movie with betrayal, conflict, family drama, unrequited love, emotionally significant flashbacks, melodramatic villains, geysers of CGI blood, curses, giant sharks, magical ninjas, devil worship, zombies, sorcery, human sacrifice, decapitations, and homoerotic shape-shifting vampiric ninja weresharks... and only then does it get crazy. Absolutely unhinged!

Like 'Jaws', tends to wisely keep the sharks out of sight much of the time, with brief moments of silly shark action that seem more explainable now that I know it was originally a 3D movie (flashbacks to the gimmicky shots I saw in 'Jaws 3D' in the cinema).

Is it a serious oeuvre of the seventh art that conveys a deeper message? Is it fuck! Is it braindead schlock that delivers what I needed: thrills, spills and kills? Fuck yeah!

Burt Reynolds is his usual charming self, perhaps a little more abrasive than in most films, and convincing as a dirtbag with a vestigial conscience.

With a slow pace and very little shark action, this is more of a noir thriller. And even as a noir thriller, it ain't great. Who knows if it would have been any better in Fuller's (apparently lost) edit?

A bunch of friends and family decide "Hey, we can make our own shark movie!" using their lakehouse and motorboat.

But instead of terrible CGI sharks, we get terrible rubber & papier mâché sharks. Sweet!

Unfortunately we get too much of the non-existent acting and not enough of the laughably bad effects. And it's nothing like the poster, of course.

Despite being a brief 64 minutes, it still feels like this could have been cut another 20 minutes, and the promised "robot"-(more like a cyborg)-on-mummy action was only a few minutes at the very end.
