Gums (1976)

Gums (1976)
Director: Robert J. Kaplan
Writers: Paul E. Cohen, Sam Cohen
Cast: Brother Theodore, Terri Hall, Robert Kerman, Jody Maxwell, Crystal Sync
Insane parody of JAWS featuring horny puppets, a Mermaid who blows men to death (and in one case sticks her head out of a toilet) and a Nazi lunatic played by Brother Theodore who volunteers to capture the Mermaid for oil wells instead of money. Theodore has the "Captain Quint" role in this exercise in sea-going vulgarity. Richard Bolla looks a lot like Richard Dreyfuss and carries around a blonde blow-up doll for amusement. You must see this movie to disbelieve it. Lots of underwater photography of the naked mermaid (Terri Hall) swimming around, but watch out for those lust-mad puppets!
IMDB Page
'Crude comic jaws parody porno with the twist it’s a man eating mermaid that replaces the shark, set in a small seaside town that relies on its beaches for summer tourism. When a few men get eaten alive Sheriff Coxswin tries to pressure for the closure of the beach. Failing to follow the sheriff wishes Mayor Ike White enlists a nazi Captain Carl Clitoris and sex specialist Doc Smegma to help track the mermaid down. Really cheap, funny and downright odd stab at comedy in a porn film some of the highlights include a scene the doc tries to kill the mermaid with a giant dildo missile like the oxygen tank in jaws, various crazy Punch and Judy style puppets and one really weird scene with talking dogs having sex. You just don’t get films like this these days so comes recommended more for curiosity value than for being a good film.'
