But it wasn't easy to
forget his attack.
The fear of the sharks when I went
back in the water was huge.
M y first time my head went underwater,
I imagined in my mind sharks running
in from all directions and I said,
"stop it, you've got to control that."
Things would never exactly return
to normal for Rodney.
His love of the sea was now
overshadowed by a terrible fascination
with his old nemesis the shark.
I n 1965, he organized the first
expedition to track the great white.
The adventure became a docudrama.
But danger in the
unknown makes man himself the quarry
of the most savage hunter of the deep
the white
great white death.
Come on you bastard, attack.
This is some of the first footage
ever shot of a great white under water.
Coming in
now!
That doesn't taste
so good, that wire mesh.
The theme is revenge a crusade to
rid the seas of evil sharks.
Death and the battle's almost over,
a second maneater who's jaw will never
again menace an unsuspecting swimmer.
I n those days, people feared sharks
because they knew very little
about them.
They thought that every shark was
a bad shark
and there was a big saying
at that stage that the best shark
was a dead shark.
The first film
was followed by a second.
"Attacked by a Killer Shark" is about
Rodney his attack and recovery.
Again, it shows Rodney wielding
a speargun, bent on revenge.
Time out to reload.
head explodes on contact.
The tremendous concussion
is transmitted into the body,
killing instantly.
But it does twist
the truth just a little.
I wasn't really after revenge.
What I was frightened of
was going back in the water
And so I was quite keen to try out
that had been invented.
And I went underwater and I shot some
show that man could
protect himself underwater.
Rod's on a killing frenzy,
intoxicated with his
successes overriding his fears.
had been in need of.
I n fact, Rodney's attitude
was beginning to change
a fact obscured
by the dramatic film script.
I didn't realize or understand
much at that time but I thought,
that's not the right attitude.
We've got to look at it
further than that.
We've got to learn more about them
and understand them
and learn to live with them.
As Rodney's appreciation for
the great white began to grow,
so too did his expertise
as a shark tracker.
I n 1969, he was called into work
any that had gone before.
Has that cage been checked out?
turned to Rodney to deliver
