Free Willy 3: The Rescue (1997) *
Brave ecologists try to stop nasty whale hunters from turning Willy into sushi. One almost roots for the villains, if only to kill any chance of yet another sequel. After all, Willy must be tired of being typecast as a gentle, frolicking orca and might be ready for a more meaty part in one of those "gourmet cuisine" flicks like "Babette's Feast" or "Eat Drink Man Woman" (using a stunt double, of course). Anyone for "Willy à la sauce tartare" ?
