Yes, this JAWS THE REVENGE movie is a turkey. Lorrain Gary acknowledges how bad it really was and she's upset over it. She's usually a pretty lady but she looks scary in this film as she's too thin here and has a bad 1980's hairstyle.

URL There's Ebert's review. I'd say he makes a pretty strong case by giving it no stars at all. =:)

Yeah, this is the one Chris. After she says it, the shark lets out the first roar which puts almost anyone into an uncontrollable laughing fit. I'll have to check on the Ebert thing. I'll try to dig up his review.

Great work Matt. Isn't this the film where Lorraine Gary stands on the bow of the boat, stares the shark down, and says something like, "Come and get me you son of a bitch!" Lines just don't get any better than that! Anyway, believe I once read that Roger Ebert stood up after the end of this film and yelled, "Worse movie I've ever seen!" To me, that at the very least, makes it worth a look.

Hey, jadester, Nightmare On Elm Street 3 was a masterpiece, is what. And Bride Of Chucky also. Jaws - The Revenge holds a special place in my blood-pump. It's so stunningly awful that i can't help but love it. Ridiculous it may be, but it's never boring, and great fun to be around. Great article, man.

strangely, when ths was on uk tv a few years ago, the ending was the original one you describe; the shark was impaled (although the roar was there) the film was more amusing than scary, which is a shame but it's the Law Of Sequels (sorry, Diminishing Returns) in full effect: you just *know* that from the third film on, any film series will be crap. Terminator 3 Robocop 3 Lethal Weapon 3 ...
