Oh boy, here we go. This one isn’t funny for being funny, but for being incredibly stupid. Here, Michael Caine and his fellow marine biologists are by the eponymous killer shark. Managing to plant a bomb in the beast’s mouth at great cost, it turns out to be a dud. This prompts them to do the obvious and use electrical impulses to antagonize the creature while channeling the shining to glimpse how the original shark was killed.

#4- Collision Course “Lovely But Deadly” (1981)

This is why I don’t go boating…
