I rank this right next to Joe Dante's "Piranha" While "Piranha" is a blatant parody/spoof of "Jaws" "Orca" takes itself way to seriously.. with A list actors like Richard Harris and Charlotte Rampling giving A list performances ...with a D list script. It's hilarious to watch all the way through. Harris had to know this premise and script was terrible.. yet he was a consumate professional and delivered exactly what the script and director called for.
