Great White (a.k.a. The Last Shark) is a 1980 Italian horror film directed by Enzo G. Castellari and starring James Franciscus and Vic Morrow. The film is extremely similar to Steven Spielberg's Jaws. Universal Pictures sued to have the release of this movie in North America blocked, accusing the makers of Great White of plagiarism. The studio won the case, and the movie was pulled from North American theaters shortly after its release. It has never been legally released on video in North America, nor shown on North American television, though bootlegs are regularly available on the internet. On May 21, 2008 it was released on DVD in Sweden.
