   Everyone knows or has something to say about this movie… for me, the word fascinating comes to mind. That opening scene 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 watched this a lot back then, and honestly I think this fits in perfectly with loads of 80’s weirdo genre sequels that boutique labels make their bread and butter on… Sure, its shitty but there’s a breaching shark letting out a robust roar… I kinda love the idea of a supernatural revenge beast shark traveling thousands of miles and eating airplanes while weirdo psychic connections and juuuust the right…

   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…

   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…

   Ok, I know this movie has a bad reputation. I mean, it’s quite literally called one of the worst movies of all time, and has a 2% on Rotton Tomatos. TWO PERCENT. 2. I don’t agree with that. I can say it’s not great, but I don’t even think it’s the worst Jaws movie. Put this on today, because well, it’s the 4th of July, and no 4th is complete without Jaws. Ok…that mostly applies to the first one…and Independence Day…and Independence Day 2…and Born on the 4th of… Ok, you get what I’m saying. But I’ve already reviewed those on here, and decided to go with this, as it is the last movie in the Jaws series left for…

   “I have never seen it [Jaws: The Revenge], but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific!” -Michael Caine just being honest as fuck!

   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.

    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.

    Rotten Tomatoes: 2% Metacritic Metascore: 15 IMDB: 3.1 91/100 Shark Week Hoagie: “Oh, shit.” Jaws: The Revenge sinks to unfathomable depths of absurdity, abandoning any semblance of the tension and craft that made Spielberg’s original a masterpiece. Joseph Sargent’s direction is lifeless, sleepwalking through a premise so ludicrous it borders on self-parody: a great white shark apparently harboring a personal vendetta against the Brody family, somehow tracking them from Amity Island to the Bahamas with supernatural determination. FAVORITE SCENE: The opening sequence involving Sean Brody’s demise. If only he hadn’t listened to Polly. If only, if only… Release Date: July 17th, 1987 Distributor: Universal Pictures Production Companies: Universal Pictures The screenplay by Michael de Guzman is where logic goes to…

    Michael Caine must have needed another new swimming pool, otherwise what could have possessed him to turn up for this terribly poor sequel. We all start off with “Deputy Sean Brady” (Mitchell Anderson) sent to clear up some seaborne blockage before the fishing boats return. Needless to say, he encounters the distant cousin of his late father’s menacing pal and is soon little more than tooth pickings. This hastens the arrival of the pretty but extremely bland Lance Guest as older brother “Michael” and guess what, the shark seems to have him on his sonar, too. Despite the fairly charismatic efforts of Caine, this whole thing is just nonsense from start to finish, made worse by Lorraine Gary’s serious over-acting. There are just no scares. Even the legendary music has been mucked about with to ensure all trace of menace has been removed as surely as if by the (largely mechanical) shark itself. This is also a creature that seems to fancy it is in a “Tarzan” film, judging by it’s fearful roaring. Either that, or maybe it is fed up because it has too much Brady stuck in it’s incisors? To be fair, there is some fine underwater photography and I’ve never seen a shark eat a plane before – even one made of wafer biscuits, but sadly though nowhere near as bad as “Jaws 3” (1983), this is a sad end to the franchise that ought never to have been made.

    Man, people really hate these last two sequels, eh?

    I don’t even think ‘Jaws 3-D’ is as awful as most fellow reviewers think and that’s the case again with ‘Jaws: The Revenge’. It’s bad, but it’s not *that* bad. It makes little sense, though to be fair it is from a franchise that is all about a huge human-killing shark; despite sharks, in fact, not actually being all that keen on our rotten flesh.

    Michael Caine is somehow in this. Well, I say somehow… a trip to the Bahamas and a nice paycheck likely made it entirely logical from his view; as he reportedly stated himself. Lorraine Gary, meanwhile, spearheads an average support cast. Speaking of whom, I did find their dialogue and interactions to be very unnatural and forced.

    5/10. There are many, many worse films out there though.

    **The shark was clearly a Michael Caine fan**

    Somehow, the shark knew that Michael Caine was flying the plane to the Bahamas and simply had to follow his idol.

    Either that or he simply wanted Caine dead in retaliation for _Beyond The Poseidon Adventure_.

    This film is well made and the performances are pretty good but the whole thing is silly beyond repair. Was the shark psychic? Was Ellen Brody psychic? Was the log that Sean Brody was clinging onto whilst being eaten psychic? Who cares?

    Perhaps the shark in the Bahamas was a different shark? Perhaps the Brody’s had a shark for each day of the week? Perhaps the whole thing was a dream – surely the most logical explanation. However, I do not want to bail out the film makers on this one.

    _They are guilty as charged. Case dismissed._
