34-years ago this weekend, Steven Spielberg's unleashed his legendary oceanic horror outing to stunned audiences everywhere -- so what better time than now to dive into some of its most notable B-movie ripoffs? This particular batch of retread cinema can be a funny crop of B-movie adventuring. While trolling any number of video chains, viewers are bound to find a surplus of cheap thrillers featuring killer fish and a cast that usually comes in the form of Lorenzo Lamas, Casper Van Dien, or Anthony Sabato Jr. While some of the modern forays into deep-water horror tend to reflect the "smart shark" conceit of Deep Blue Sea, it's their forefathers in the shark cinema arena that present a more delectable plate of stolen ideas and shoddy FX work, all stemming from the big, bad granddaddy of 'em all, Jaws.
