Just watched Cash Chin's The 3DD Invader (2011).

Nice light-hearted college sex comedy with some scifi influences and some patented old school HK craziness.

Obviously made on a relatively small budget,it's not his best work but still very enjoyable considering "HK's golden age of Cat III" was some time ago.

I didn't think Outpost Black Sun was out yet.

Just watched Outpost last night, fantastic effective and atmospheric zombie film with a likable cast. Will gladly watch the sequels, but the ending in the first was a bit of a downer.

However, I am addicted to "monster of the water" films so bought the Italian DVD and rewatched it.

Well...I really liked it! Sure, I can see what people find silly about it, but I let myself buy it and let the film operate within its own world. Clearly it was intended to cash in on Jaws but it is quite different. The big, bitey dolphin is not really the bad guy and this adds a nice element to the story. It seems perfectly well made to me also and has decent performances - despite many internet critics lambasting the FX and Richard Harris's turn. Again, I really liked it.

So...yay, Orca!

Great film.Hugely underrated with better modelwork than Jaws when the fake whale is used (Hard to tell when most of the time).Superb & haunting Ennio Morricone score too though the vocal version at the end grates !.If anything more of a 'rip-off' of Moby Dick than Jaws (Though even that steals from MD)

Yep, HUGE dollops of Moby Dick...er...so to speak!

Love Morricone's score, but that vocal version is. well, "of its time", shall we say!

The Italian DVD looks great too, and is very cheap.

Regarding the fake orcas, found this one Wikipedia the other day:

The main orca used for filming was a trained animal from the San Francisco aquarium, though artificial whales of rubber were used also. These models were so lifelike that several animal rights activists blocked the trucks transporting them, confusing them for real orcas.

Love Orca though I'm kinda biased since it was partly filmed here in Newfoundland.
