Interesting facts
Cruel Jaws is a 1995 English-language Italian horror film directed by Bruno Mattei. The film utilizes unauthorized footage from the Jaws film series and the 1981 Italian knockoff The Last Shark, as well as the 1989 Italian knockoff Deep Blood, and was marketed in some regions as a sequel, though it has no official or narrative connections to the franchise.
Production
Due to the low budget, the movie heavily utilizes footage from all four movies of the Jaws film series, as well as the Italian films Deep Blood (basically the entire climax of the movie) and Great White.
Even though Michael Morahan is the credited composer, the movie’s soundtrack consists entirely of stock music. One piece, Excellence by Wolfgang Kafer, notoriously utilises the theme from Star Wars. One of the shark’s motifs is the soundtrack of the movie Curse II: The Bite. Coincidentally, that movie’s composer Carlo Maria Cordio scored Deep Blood.
