Narco Shark (2024)
Narco Shark IMDb
Gerardo Preciado actor: Ricky Valente / Tico Suave …
In 1989, mexican direct to video superstar Ricky Valente was in line to write and direct NARCO SHARK, a wild and ambitious film about a Detective/Saxophonist who battles the Mexican Yakuza and a cocaine fueled Killer Shark while trying to save his marriage from falling apart and helping his awkwardly shy but sexually depraved brother in law learn some breakdancing moves. Sadly, the film was never made… until now.
Stopped watching July 21, 2025
I love the posters for Narco Shark and sequel Narco Sharks and it sounds good on paper. But I hate the actual film. It's like an experimental student film. A bad, dull one. With almost zero shark or narco action! (I'm sure there's some ironic justification for that.) I fell asleep in the middle, and restarted it the next day but just couldn't be arsed to finish it.

My rating for this is 0 stars. Zilch, nothing, nada. Not sure if NeoDB understands that, or just thinks I forgot to rate it.

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.

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?

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!

A little bit of silliness, a little bit of Jaws rehashed. Good action above and below ground, through the spooky catacombs under Paris (hey, that's the title!) The CGI sharks are more convincing than in the other movies.

I even thought the film might make it all the way without a shark doing a Free Willy-style leap through the air, but I guess no shark movie director can resist the idea of airborne shark.

Don "The Dragon" Wilson stars as a Japanese cop who must overcome culture shock (i.e. US racism and cars much larger than back home) and learn the Power of the Laser Finger.

Not bad... for a Don "The Dragon" Wilson movie, if you know what I mean, and if you're a sucker for 90s action like I am.

This was a home movie shot on Super 8 that somehow grew over several years into something that got backing from Sam Raimi, voice work by Bruce Campbell and the participation of half the city of Akron, Ohio. Even some location shots by D.C. landmarks. (Decades later, it got a Kickstarter fundraiser to restore and upscale to HD.)

Silly fun with terrible dialogue and lots of gore (of varying quality). By an "elite squad of zombie hunters", they mean "the most incompetent ones imaginable".

Directed by Roger Corman protégé Santiago, who brought us flicks like the Filipino Blaxploitation women in prison movie The Muthers. And multiple Mad Max 2 ripoffs. (About 2 a year in the 80s and 90s?)

This one seems to have every single outdoor scene take place in the same quarry (except for the world's crappiest canyon car jump?), just shot from different angles.

Slade (Norton) builds the world's most redundant assault rifle with like 6 barrels, which automagically wipes the floor against all opponents.

If they had put one tenth of the effort into the story as they did the (pretty awesome) action, it might have been half-way decent.
