Viewing Notes
I’d been wanting to revisit this for a long time because I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid and I recall parts of it being pretty horrific and the movie overall not actually being that good. I can confirm that both are still true. It feels too exploitative to be watched comfortably, and the baby whale abortion scene is definitely horrific.
I didn’t realize that Bo Derek and Robert Carradine are both in this too, so that was an interesting surprise.
