Roar!
-Shark
Instead of doing a review I will just point out the crap that inhabits this film.
- The shark roars like a lion.
- Mario Van Peebles does a Jamaican accent
- The shark swims from New York to the Bahamas in less then 3 days.
- This is the sequel that popularized the tagline "This time it's personal!"
- African Americans feet apparently look Caucasian under water
- The god damn shark is hunting one family, even members that weren't born yet during the last attack.
- The film tries to suggest that there's some sort of psychic link between Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gray) and the shark
- Roy Scheider was hospitalized because he busted a gut…
Wait a minute, this isn't right. I actually enjoyed this. No really, I had fun. It's quite amusing, I don't know. Somehow Jaws 3 had given me immunity to next level bullshittery. Not sure if I should be grateful, but I've grown stronger now. Yes, more emotionally stable and mentally prepared. Throw anything at me and I'll swallow it whole like a great white. Telepathic shark? Swallowed. Ridiculous continuity errors? Chewed. Eyesoring effects? Digested in an instant. The shark got hit by a boat and miraculously exploded, but I've seen worse. I've seen things that make me straight up want to die. I have war flashbacks that make my stomach churn. I've seen films that hit a point so low…
Film #45 in my 2016 Hoop-tober (3.0) list.
Recipe for an award-winning Bad Movie Experience:
1. It's a sequel.
2. You hear about how bad it is way before the internet tells you.
3. The internet hypes it up. It goes on to top various Worst Movie, Worst Horror Movie, Worst Horror Sequel lists here, there, everywhere.
4. You see a preceding bad sequel first, deciding you hated that sequel so much that the next one can't be worse. You repeat to yourself: it just can't be worse...
5. You nonchalantly notice it's available on streaming. You put your monocle in; your curiosity is peaked.
6. You also notice it's under 90 minutes long. It's only a matter of moments…

It's never a good sign when you're rooting for the shark so the film will be over sooner.
It's never a good sign when the shark looks like the reject special effect fro the original Jaws.
It's never a good sign when absolutely fuck all happens for most of the time.
It's never a good sign when Sharknado and Ghost Shark seem more plausible than a shark on a personal vendetta.
It's never a good sign when Mario van Peebles.
It's never a good sign when you go for a toilet break and can't be arsed to press the pause button.
Bleh.
My favorite part of Jaws: The Revenge was when Michael Caine complained that the shark had bad breath.
Psychically linked to an unstoppable killing machine through the death of a beloved family member, at least our heroine has the compensatory gift of telekinesis to employ during the final showdown over water!
Having lived in Hollywood in the late eighties, I can testify that cocaine was everywhere. I remember being such a naive midwestern transplant that the first time I walked into the bathroom of The China Club and heard all of the snorting in the stalls, I thought to myself, "Wow! People in L.A. have really bad sinuses!"
I bring that up because the only way the script for "Jaws: The Revenge" could be greenlit is because a studio head's desk looked liked Tony Montana's from "Scarface"!
The "plot" involves the widowed Mrs. Brody flying to the Bahamas with her eldest son and apparently being followed by a great white bent on revenge. Add Mario Van Peebles attempting the worst accent…
Oh so bad. So bad in fact it was kind of funny! I have yet to see Sharknado, but I’d be willing to bet this is a contender!
Sean spent like half of his life afraid of water and sharks only to be taken out by a shark on the water anyway... Can't believe that sharks can follow a family all the way from Massachusetts to the Bahamas (where they went by plane nonetheless), very impressive.
Gibt es einen Kommerzfilm bei dem man noch besser erkennen kann, dass Drehbuch, Figuren, ja die ganze Prämisse auf einer der besten Kokspartys der 80er ihr ok bekommen haben müssen?
Alle 2-3 Minuten könnte man die Quatschliste dieses Films erweitern.
Und allein damit ist er um einiges unterhaltsamer als der mistige dritte Teil der hier scheinbar gar nicht beachtet wird.
Der MEG der 80er. Hier funktioniert einfach gar nichts und das ist wunderbar.
-Telepathatische Mensch-Haiverbindungen.
-Ein Hai der innerhalb 2er Tage tausende Kilometer schwimmt ob eines persönlichen Rachefeldzuges.
-Der Hai brüllt wie ein Löwe und explodiert weil er von einem Mast gerammt wird(!!!!)
Alles ein Traum von einem Film.
6,5
To my knowledge sharks have no outwards vocalizations (like a bird, cat, or a dog) yet this shark is roaring like a dinosaur.
Michael Caine: "Give it up. You can't keep doing this.*does funny dance* And I can't keep doing this! Just give it a kick in the ass. Get on with your life. I know what you've been through. Don't worry the nightmares will go away."
I didn't know I needed that dialogue in my life but thank you anyways Michael❤.
Easily the worst movie I have ever seen. This movie makes Jaws 3 look like a masterpiece. Grade: F
The fourth and final nail in the coffin of the Jaws franchise sees the son of Ellen Brody killed by yet another great white shark and is paranoid that the shark is specifically targeting her family.
Off to the Bahamas on a vacation....the shark follows.
Quite ridiculous to the point that you can’t help but enjoy it. Worst shark effects in the entire series.
Definitely falls into the so bad it’s good category.
