The comp of clips linked below shows Diane in Peter Gunn, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, a B&W cheesecake short, and (I think) TRIAL OF BILLY JACK. Check out the trailer for SHE DID IT HIS WAY on VCI's double feature disc of DELINQUENT SCHOOLGIRLS/DREAM NO EVIL: the tall, bearded muscular guy picking up and playing around with starlet Kellie Everts in the pool is Joe Webber, Diane Webber's husband! The interesting thing about THE AQUA SEX (or MOT-NV) is that Diane Webber is not in it, and none of the topless mermaids in the added footage have mermaid fins! Gaby Martone, the statuesque, well-endowed brunette who receives the most screen time in AQUA SEX also appeared in Jack Hill's MONDO KEYHOLE and Russ Meyer's HEAVENLY BODIES. The "nude version" on the disc is basically the AQUA SEX, letterboxed, in color, but with the new title card MERMAIDS OF TIBURON - NUDE VERSION. The VCI disc has the original MERMAIDS OF TIBURON in color, fullframe, and with a new title card. So the film has been a sort of living, breathing entity that he has re-tooled and re-released over time. The thing that may be causing a bit of confusion is that director John Lamb re-edited, added footage and re-released MERMAIDS OF TIBURON over the years, starting with the AQUA SEX version in '64. When you saw AQUA SEX in a theater in '67, that was a re-release. The VCI disc contains the original MERMAIDS OF TIBURON (1962), and what might be called a "director's cut" of THE AQUA SEX (1964). I saw "Aqua Sex" in 1967 in Bordeaux, France - it was a real curiosity. The TIBURON disc has both a nudie and a "family" version, both in color.Do you mean that the disc contains both the original version ("Mermaids of Tiburon") and the 1965 re-release with additional sequences ("Aqua Sex"), or two different versions of the original release? I believe that they bought a John Lamb package. It was part of their Psychotronia series. Now knowing that mermaids exist, he is inspired to return one day.I'm sure everybody here knows this, but VCI released a very nice DVD of MERMAIDS OF TIBURON in color, and with nudity. Jamison makes to the dry land thanks to the mermaids. The mermaids lure him into a rock crevice where he gets stuck and runs out of the oxygen. Milo is persistent on getting the pears, and invades the mermaid grotto, even shooting one of them with a speargun. Jamison is saved by the mermaids, and Milo escapes on a raft. In a struggle a flare lands near the dynamite cache, and the ship explodes. In the meantime Jamison has recovered and tussles with Milo. Pepe tries to prevent Milo from killing Jamison, but is thrown overboard by him, where he is killed by a shark. He is soon found by Milo and Pepe, and knocked unconscious. Seeing Milo and his minion Pepe diving, Jamison decides to board their ship. Jamison is stunned by the blast, but manages to surface. The grotto is filled with giant clams, which is the source of the "flame pearls".Īt the surface, Milo is starting to throw dynamites into the water in an attempt to kill Jamison. They taunt him, but when he indicates that he means no harm, he is shown a way to their grotto. While diving at Tiburón, Jamison encounters a group of mermaids lead by Mermaid Queen. However Steinhauer has been murdered by gangster Milo Sangster who has caught wind of an underwater treasure, and he tails Jamison to the sea. Jamison decides to proceed alone, and hires a charter boat. Jamison agrees to meet Steinhauer there, but the man has gone missing. The one was found in the coastal waters of Tiburón. Samuel Jamison is asked to find out by Ernst Steinhauer if there are more "flame pearls". The same tail was also used in 1965, by Marta Kristen in Beach Blanket Bingo.Ī marine biologist Dr. There, Diane Webber reprised her role as a mermaid using the same tail, and shot some extra scenes in a submarine. In 1967, Most of the cut mermaid footage ended up being used in the TV series " Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" season 3, episode 19, titled "The Mermaid". In 1964 the film was altered, cutting most of the mermaid footage, and adding some closeup shots of naked women swimming, the movie was also renamed to Aqua Sex. The Mermaids of Tiburon is a 1962 movie featuring several mermaids.
