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…
For being credited as one of the worst sequels ever made, Jaws: The Revenge wasn't all that dreadful as many make it out to be in all fairness. Sure it has plenty of moments that strikingly resemble that of a direct-to-video shark film that hardly anyone knows about, and that can certainly get on the nerves with various people since not everyone isn't used to b-movie schlock like that, however, I do revel to things of that nature for sure, and I definitely had an enjoyable time with Jaws: The Revenge even with all of its apparent inconsistencies that inevitably happen throughout its duration.
It further has the benefit of it not including the 3D elements of the series other…
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…
This movie opening with Sean Brody getting eaten by an evil shark with a grudge and quickly becoming a Shark From Hell story as Mrs. Brody heads to the Bahamas where said shark follows her to settle a shark score(?): some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.
My favorite part of Jaws: The Revenge was when Michael Caine complained that the shark had bad breath.
Everyone knows or has something to say about this movie... for me, the word fascinating comes to mind. First of all, the opening scene in this is a legit banger—an emotional gutpunch and if I’m being perfectly honest, the only scene out of all 4 of these movies that gave me extreme nightmares as a child.
I know Jaws 3 has its fans but this movie blows that criminally boring (no movie banking on a shark fucking up sea world should ever be that snoozeworthy) putrid piss drenched sequel out of the water. Maybe it’s because I watched this movie on cable so much as a child, or maybe (and probably) it’s because I’ve read the novelization and that fills in…

Jaws Double Bill #2
Jaws: The Revenge (1983)
I'll give it this, it wasn't quite as bad as I expected, considering how much of an awful piece of shit this has been said to be for years by practically everyone (from Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel to your average IMDb or Letterboxd user). Don't get the idea however that I intend to give Jaws: The Revenge any more credit than it deserves, because at it's core this is still an insipid and dubiously-made sequel with little going for it.
Set a good decade or so after the second film (the events of the third appear to be retconned here), Ellen, the widow of recently deceased…
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…
Watched as part of Letterboxd Shark Week
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.
(2020 Summer Blockbuster Series)
It is safe to say this movie officially jumped the shark on this franchise!
"Dad died of a heart attack! ... No. He died from fear. The fear of it killed him."
While I would not consider any of the Jaws sequels to be good, Jaws: The Revenge takes it to another level with how hilariously bad it is. I would have never seen this if it was not for my kids becoming such big Jaws fans, and even they were baffled by how stupid and lazy this movie gets.
"Roar!"
(Quick Hits) .... Spoilers:
- At least you could take Jaws 2 and 3 somewhat seriously. I wonder if those involved realized they were basically…
Absolutely not the worst movie ever, not even the worst movie in the franchise! Yes it’s bad, but damn is it fun and if you don’t have fun watching this I’m worried about you. DM me we need to talk.
A shark kills Sean Brody in Amity which was honestly traumatic to me when I was a kid watching this in front of a TV that was still it’s own piece of furniture while laying on the floor in a den covered in shag carpet still clinging to its heyday. It then travels all the way to the Bahamas to specifically target the remaining Brody family and apparently it’s the result of a voodoo curse that got cut from the film…
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!
Someone got a hold of the Jaws license, did about ten 8 balls of coke and said,
“what if we just drove the fuckin wheels off this thing????”
Ponderous.
Part of The abridged Hooptober 6/6/6 for the working dad
As long as you consider The Shark as something like Cujo, inhabited by the spirit of a serial killer out to kill members of one particular family that it tracks from Maine to the Bahamas (or is it Jamaica, who knows), and that it resembles more the idea of "Shark" than resembling or acting anything like an actual shark. As long as you're okay with the fact that the main character has a Force-like connection to The Shark and can feel it's presence. As long as you're okay with a whole movie dedicated to the healing of a loved one killed by The Shark, but spending ZERO time grieving for a person of color who shares the same fate. As long as you're okay with The Shark roaring like a lion.
As long as you're okay with these things, you can get some enjoyment of out Jaws 4.
Poor Sean who gets no love throughout this Jaws saga gets the short end of the stick where he meets his grizzly end in Amity to set up this forth installment. My question at this point is, after having not one or two but three close encounters with larger than normal man eating creatures, why would you get back in the water! Michael Brodys only answer is “what else am I gonna do?” Other than Sean there is only one other death I believe and a terrible ending where the shark gets impaled but still ends up exploding. The shark also looked terrible the very few times it was actually shown. I did enjoy Michael Cain as a gambling plane pilot who flys his plane straight into the water for no reason.

Unlike Jaws 3-D, which is so awful its funny and kinda enjoyable to watch, this movie can't even make being bad funny. I mean do sharks roar like that???? Michael Cane I hope you bought a nice house with the money they paid you to be in this abomination of a film.
This film is not good and while the psychic shark mind meld with a grandmother is a great concept, the film only delivers some good but few and far between scenes of a widow falling in love again to the oh so lovable Michael Caine.
The ending is completely insane and would feel perfectly at home in an Italian knock off. This is without a doubt the worst Jaws film and the nail in the coffin for this franchise that started with one of the most influential films of my lifetime.
Sadly this film has without a doubt the best mechanical shark any of the Jaws films had and uses it not even close to enough. Jaws: The Revenge is an extremely soft pg-13 that somehow has less nudity and violence than any of the PG rated predecessors. Worth a curious watch for fans of the franchise only.
This time it’s Personal.
Is about the coolest tagline along with “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.” Back when marketing & posters would suck you in no matter how terrible the film was.
JAWS 19 will probably be much better.
Ok this movie has its bad moments but it isn't as bad as people say it is.
I really enjoyed this movie more than others, the shark roaring is stupid but overall this is a decent movie
