Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesPort Angeles, the town that Howard and Elizabeth Griffin called from the Occupational Hazard, is on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, across the Juan de Fuca Strait from Victoria, British Columbia. A major fault line runs along the middle of the strait, and the two cities are on different tectonic plates.
- PatzerWhip, the local fisherman, is regularly consulted and kept up to date by the Coast Guard, the scientific community, and the town politicians.
- Zitate
Whip Dalton: You go out and you try and kill it. But just so you understand exactly what it is you're dealing with: besides its eight huge tentacles, this thing has two whips. Each one is probably as long as this room and three or four feet thick. Those whips are covered with suction cups as big as this notepad. In the center of each cup is a claw as big as my fist and razor sharp. The squid grabs and impales his pray with those whips and drags it towards its beak, shredding the flesh as it goes, and these things can shred a one hundred pound tuna in five seconds. Its beak is like an eagle's, only it's about fifty times bigger and can bite through steel. Now, you make a mistake trying to kill this thing, and it gets you first - like it did the Griffins and those two divers - you pray to God those whips kill you before you get to that beak.
- Alternative VersionenThe 2 disc DVD release contains the full 2 part 176 minute version.

There are several cuts of the film that are out there that are very incomplete. The version I have is the one that originally aired on t.v. If you are into things like jaws and King Kong, then you will get a lot of enjoyment out of this film. Some of the characters may be a bit corny but they are played well by some familiar character actors. William Petersen is especially good in the lead role. You really buy the weight he brings to the character. He seems like a genuinely good guy.
