Plot
Reception
A retrospective review, finding the film has more to do with Dead-end drive-in than with proper sharksploitation, concludes by stating: "Australians with a sense of humour about themselves may be left crying with laughter. And non-Aussies may have an even better time as they are presented this deranged advertisement for Queensland."[2] Another review calls the film "A gloriously kitsch made-for-TV movie".[3]
