Reception Of the film, the Monthly Film Bulletin stated that "its only interest (and amusement) is the way it has solemnly transcribed [from Jaws]". The Boston Globe commented negatively on the special effects, stating that the film obviously cuts between Vic Morrow and a shot of a shark in an aquarium and that the shark in question occasionally resembled a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon. Sequel Following the financial success of the film, Enzo Castellari considered making a sequel but ultimately demurred after the mechanical shark was damaged following shooting of the first movie. Legacy Scenes from Great White were incorporated into the 1995 Italian shark movie Cruel Jaws, which also utilized footage from Jaws. The movie Deep Blood also used a lot of footage from this movie including the oddly shaped 'balloon' shark model.
