The Shark Hunter

Enzo G. Castellari – 1979 – Italy
 
Franco Nero, in a cumbersome long blonde wig held on by a headband, plays a reclusive shark killer on a Caribbean island who turns out to be in hiding from underworld characters.  Seems his family was killed a few years back, after which he tried to lose himself in the dangerous life of a mercenary.  There also happens to be a bunch of money lost by a plane crash in the shark-infested bay where Nero lives and works.  The exotic locations and underwater photography are the main appeal of this movie; everything else is pretty cornball in a fun way.
