Uranus Studio is scammed Uncle Sam into financing Deep Jaws, a sexploitation mermaid movie that has nothing to do with Deep Throat or Jaws. How did they get the money? The government paid them to fake the moon landing. Yes, really. Also: This is softcore. This isn’t Gums, which is very similar but hardcore.

Directed by Perry Dell (The Dicktator) and written by Walt David (Evil Come Evil Go), Charles Teitel and Manuel Conde (the cinematographer of Terror at Orgy Castle), this has a good cast: Sandy Carey (who was in Wam Bam Thank You Spaceman, Drive In Massacre, The Beast and the Vixens and Time Walker), redhead dreamgirl Roxanne Brewer (Fantasm, Sexual Kung Fu In Hong Kong), Anne Gaybis (Snow White in Fairy Tales) and George “Buck” Flower.

It’s not great but hey — softcore was on the way out so at least it’s different.
