With Deep Jaws (1976) over, I decided to watch the full blown porno spoof of Jaws called Gums. Why did I decide to review these two movies again? Oh, and these movies must have known about each other cause they actually say “Deep Jaws” in this film. It’s somehow better made than Deep Jaws, but that’s not saying much. Also, I’m pretty sure the version I have was censored at some point. I say “at some point” because it’s obvious that whoever did it was in on the whole thing. All the runtime is here as far as I know. They just save me some black boxes by putting humorous things there instead. Let’s take a look at this thing.
The movie opens like a slasher movie by giving us an opening kill.

This time around we have a mermaid that seeks out people, and gives them blow jobs to death. By that, I mean she appears to bite it off after sucking on it for awhile. She also seems to do interpretative dance. I have no idea why, but she does that in this movie on several occasions.
You know the Jaws formula, so let’s introduce this movie’s equivalent of the well-known characters.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-06h58m23s917](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-06h58m23s917.jpg?w=538&h=304)
That’s our sheriff. Their actual names aren’t important to anything. He finds the severed penis and stock footage of a beaver.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-06h59m22s478](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-06h59m22s478.jpg?w=538&h=304)
The guy who found it says it looks like it was chewed off by a beaver, so they cut to this shot before going back to the characters.
He takes the severed cock back to his office, which immediately turns on his secretary. She comes over to him, so I can show you what I mean by censorship in this movie.

Definitely censored, but by people who had a sense of humor.
Time to meet the mayor!

He surprises the sheriff…

which really makes me think that actor Paul Styles here played Dracula in Suckula (1973).

It could be. I mean it turned out that the anchorman from Suckula was Buck in the Back To The Future movies.

Then a black guy comes in to tell the story of how he was sitting on a small boat while his “twin” brother was sucked to death in the water. I put twin in quotes cause I’m pretty sure it’s the same actor who played both brothers. Here’s what I think of that scene.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h03m53s856](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h03m53s856.jpg?w=538&h=304)
Time to call in a sexpert. Unfortunately Susie Bright would have been only 18 when this movie came out, so they go with a Dr. Smegma.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h09m58s070](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h09m58s070.jpg?w=538&h=304)
He is played by none other than Robert Kerman. Comic book fans may remember him as the Tugboat Captain in Spider-Man (2002). He also showed up in Debbie Does Dallas (1978), Cannibal Holocaust (1980), and Cannibal Ferox (1981) among many other films.
This begins a sex scene that I’m pretty sure has lifted music seeing as I heard some prior to this. No matter, because we quickly go back to the rest of the characters and the deaths hit the papers.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h15m21s419](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h15m21s419.jpg?w=538&h=304)
I love how serious actor Zack Norman takes playing the reporter just before he prints the story. In 1984 he would go on to play Ira in Romancing the Stone. That’s a step up. He could have wound up in Romancing the Bone (1984) instead. He was also in an episode of the 1990’s TV Show The Flash. That means that between him and Robert Kerman, we have both Marvel and DC actors in a Jaws porno spoof.
By the way, “Welcome To Great Head”.

Ready to meet the Robert Shaw equivalent?
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h20m47s664](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h20m47s664.jpg?w=538&h=304)
That’s Nazi Quint played by none other than Brother Theodore. You might recognize him from several places. The year after this, he did the voice of Gollum in The Hobbit and later in The Return of the King (1980). However, most people probably know him from his last role in The ‘Burbs (1989). He actually got his start in films back in the 1940s doing film noir such as The Third Man (1949).
This scene goes on forever with him talking. On the upside, he is the best actor in the film next to Robert Kerman. During this scene I’m even more sure that Paul Styles is Dracula from Suckula.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h32m09s954](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h32m09s954.jpg?w=538&h=304)

Makes even more sense when you notice that Terri Hall who plays the mermaid was in one of the movies that is on the same box set as Suckula.
Let’s move on because what the hell is this thing it cuts to next?
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h33m54s386 (1)](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h33m54s386-1.jpg?w=538&h=304)
My only guess is that they felt the need to foreshadow that they will use puppets to get the mermaid at the end. I agree with Brother Theodore: “Absolutely disgusting.”
After a bunch of stock footage and nonsense scenes that were maybe longer originally, we are at the beach and we finally meet our mermaid.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h57m37s582](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-07h57m37s582.jpg?w=538&h=304)
You might be wondering about now, and the answer is yes. Yes, they do play the actual Jaws theme. That is till the blow job starts, then who knows where this crazy music that starts playing came from.
Dr. Smegma eventually shows up after the mermaid attack and I have to give it to Robert Kerman…
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-08h32m42s639](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-08h32m42s639.jpg?w=538&h=304)
because he is the only one in the cast who at all resembles a member of the original cast in appearance and acting.
A bunch of weird sex things happen now that aren’t important. You don’t want to hear about Porno Dreyfuss and his sex doll that he insists on bringing over to the sheriff’s place. I mean involving animals weird. It gets really bizarre.
It eventually gets back to the plot, but not before it makes a mermaid joke.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-10h50m43s654](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-10h50m43s654.jpg?w=538&h=304)
That’s the famous “Chicken of the Sea” as Porno Dreyfuss says. Somebody gets attacked, and the next day it’s time for Brother Theodore to monologue again like he did at the town hall meeting before they set off to get her.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-10h54m49s327](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-10h54m49s327.jpg?w=538&h=304)
Porno Dreyfuss is happy cause he spots the sheriff’s secretary in a boat mostly naked. This is when we find out that not only does the mermaid dance, but I’m pretty sure she eats out the secretary to death. How does that work? In the end, the mermaid dances off into the water and the secretary looks dead on the beach.
Now the mermaid attacks the boat, and we get the dumbest peace of censorship in the movie.
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-11h13m09s877](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-11h13m09s877.jpg?w=538&h=304)
This happens when the mermaid attacks Porno Dreyfuss through the toilet. I’m not showing the shot of her head popping out of the toilet. It might give you nightmares.
The rest is just a really lame recreation of the ending of Jaws till they just throw out the people, replace them with small puppets, and then she sucks on something that explodes. Roll credits!
![vlcsnap-2016-07-27-11h35m15s748](https://unobtainium13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-27-11h35m15s748.jpg?w=538&h=304)
I wish this version hadn’t been censored because I’m sure it would have made more sense, but at least they were trying for something and could actually do things. Deep Jaws just messed around till it dropped a space capsule in a pool, called it good, and ran the credits.
Do I recommend Gums and/or Deep Jaws? NO! If you want a spoof/homage to Jaws, then watch Blades. I reviewed it briefly last October. The movie is still up legally to watch as well. It’s the one to see. These are both terrible films.
