Michael Caine should really set aside 1.5 hours someday and watch Jaws 4 The Revenge. Then do a 10-minute commentary on what he thinks about it, charging $9.99 for people to watch it. I bet he would make another $1 million dollars if he did that.
I agree, but he should do it while watching the whole film, commentary in real time, while also having as many of his favorite alcoholic beverages that he wants, becoming gradually more drunk while talking about it. Since I think that may be the only way he would be willing to do so...
He also said in another interview he could not attend the Oscars that year because he was filming this movie during the ceremony and the studio said no for him to be off for a few days. He land up winning supporting actor Oscar for Hannah and her Sisters and he wasn't there to accept it.
I watched that film repeatedly as a child. Loved the massive emphasis on the open ocean. Too many people whine about the film and get more uptight than nuns over sex.
I love Caine's reaction in the film when the shark pops out the water after he lands the plane. That nonchalant "Oh shit!" from him is Oscar gold, right up there with his clothes being magically dry after he gets out of the water a little bit later. He only gets away with that because he's Michael friggin Caine.
was thinking the same thing, I would watch it all the time as a kid and enjoyed it a lot. I guess the people who think it is so terrible haven't seen enough b-movies, because Jaws 4 feels like a big hollywood production compared to all that. It is an enjoyable film.
They need to make a new Jaws movie where it turns out that Michael Cane was a serial killer and framed the shark for all of the murders in all of the Jaws movies.
People get upset by the fictional story element of a shark holding a grudge, yet keep a straight face when describing the magical wizards of religions.
Michael Caine has always been the quintessential jobbing actor - if you’re prepared to pay him, he’ll be in your movie, however shite it is. See also: The Swarm.
2 golden gems came from or are related to this movie. From interview: "I think it's called Jaws. Jaws 4" From the movie: "Complain, complain. (jaws pops up from water) Oh, shit!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the funniest stories. I'd read this once in print and thought it was hilarious. Glad I finally saw it in interview. He didn't even know what it was called lol
The house was actually built from the ground up, not bought out right. Eventually, it got to where he needed more money to finish the house and doing Jaws 4 covered the rest of the cost it would need for the house to be finished.
Oh yeah, he was in that movie. All I remember is that Roger Ebert hated it like his life depended on his outrage at it. Seriously, go look up his review and read it. There's a fun bit in the middle where he says something to the effect of the most believeable part of the movie is that the shark wanted revenge. Which is true because they blew this shark up in the first movie and who wouldn't want revenge on the survivors of the men that blew them to bits?
Bahahahaha I'm so glad Jaws 4 exists. Michael Caine's mother got a house, and so bad it's good movie people get to have beers and have a laugh. Positive ripple effects.
He shouldn't feel TOO bad about it. Despite it being a bad movie, I've actually grown fond of it over the years and really enjoyed his character in it.
The only thing really seriously bad about this movie is the special effects; other than that, it's still a worthwhile drama. If the people who made it would simply take the movie and improve the effects with today's computer technology, the product would be a perfectly decent part of the "Jaws" franchise. I'll say this: I would take "Jaws 4" over the average horror movie today, crappy effects and all, because even with the state-of-the-art computer effects they have, "Jaws 4" has something even MORE important-- heart.
Jaws the revenge is not that bad... I like the tone of the film, the views at the Bahamas, the plane views when Caine drives the plane. The saddest part of that movie, was because the little girl playing the couple’s daughter was actually killed in real life by her father... she was actually the voice on one of the movies “all dogs go to heaven” and “the land before times”
When decades have passed, actors can finally be honest about the crap movies they were in. By that point, the idiot director and idiot executives are all out of the business, so the actor is no longer in danger of tanking his career by criticizing crap movies.
It's not so much that he did Jaws: The Revenge for a million dollar paycheck. It's that he was off filming it during the Oscars and couldn't show up in person to accept his Best Supporting Actor trophy for Hannah and Her Sisters.
never saw jaws 4 as being bad. I guess because I watch a lot of b and z movies and to them jaws 4 doesn't even come close. always enjoyed watching it on tv growing up.
@@kevindavis296 he didnt even see that movie. It is a stupid movie about a shark killing people that he was paid a Million dollars to be part of. I wouldnt Care about its name either
Jaws 4 is TERRIBLE. The first Jaws film is easily the best Jaws film. Jaws 2 is decent. Jaws 3 is pretty bad but is still dumb fun and entertaining and Jaws 4 is just flat out terrible with no good qualities at all.
@@darthtrip7188 nah Hoagie is a redeeming part of the film. If only a small one. It might be because I saw the Revenge when I was 6 and didn't see Jaws 3 until I was 16 that gives it a more nostalgic factor and makes me like it more but the Revenge is better than 3 IMHO.
3 is good in a guilty pleasure kinda way. And as terrible as Jaws The Revenge is, I'm strangely fascinated by it. How did we go from one of the best movies of all time to....that? What happened? Lol.
Shark movies as a whole is one of the most consistently bad genres. Jaws: The Revenge ain’t a good Jaws sequel but just as a killer shark film, it’s top tier.
From what I understand, he was enticed by filming in The Bahamas. Like, he read the script, probably thinking it was dumb, but then said "YES!" and signed on when he turned the page and it said (Cut to: The Bahamas) and he realized he could get an all expenses paid vacation there.
He did it for the paycheck. He's not the first actor to do that and he won't be the last. Hell, he's done his fair share of crap just like many others. Watch him in The Swarm. Trust me, it's worse than Jaws the Revenge by miles.
That's objectively wrong. You probably just were a kid when 4 came out. That was me. I was 8, so Jaws 4 and Rocky IV were the only films of those series I saw for a long time. But to honestly say Jaws 4 is better than 1 is insane. Just Quint's speech alone is better than the entire Jaws 4. Either speech. The "catch him and kill him" speech or the torpedo speech.
"I think it was called Jaws 4". He isn't even sure what the movie was called. That is hilarious.
"I think it was called jaws the million dollar check or something...I dunno"
I’m sure he was aware that it was the fourth film because it was the fourth film
@@Jared_Wignall The fact that he used the word "think" makes it seem he isn't confident what movie he even was in.
You wanna know how bad that movie was, watch Richard Jenni's stand up bit about it.
He's the only good part of that movie

I seriously hope he does that before he passes. He is getting quite old.
Dude I would totally pay.
Being forced to watch that train wreck of a movie would surely be an hour and a half of his life that he could never get back !
He also said in another interview he could not attend the Oscars that year because he was filming this movie during the ceremony and the studio said no for him to be off for a few days. He land up winning supporting actor Oscar for Hannah and her Sisters and he wasn't there to accept it.
yes. I remember that. Finally he won the Oscar and he cou;dn't be there to recieve it. Ah well, who cares. He is still one of the greatest ever.
one of the many reasons i actually like this movie, bless michael caine
You’re a rare specie
The more common breed is that which cried inconsolably because they didn't like the sharkie flick.
“Many”?? Wow…
I couldn’t name One…
I like how he smiles when interviewer reminds him it was "the revenge" lol
$1 million for 2 weeks of filming 😳 that’s very impressive. I’m one of few people that actually enjoys jaws the revenge 😂
I enjoy Jaws 4 for the cheese factor. It falls into the "so bad it is good" and "unintentional comedy" categories.
I actually enjoy it myself. It is bad, but it's one of my guilty pleasures 😂
I watched that film repeatedly as a child. Loved the massive emphasis on the open ocean. Too many people whine about the film and get more uptight than nuns over sex.
I love Caine's reaction in the film when the shark pops out the water after he lands the plane.

The only thing I enjoy about that movie is the title music, especially the John Williams theme in piano at the beginning.
I was such a huge Jaws fan as a kid that no Jaws movie could be bad to me. Think i actually saw this one in the theater at 13 years old.
Easy money for a legend like Michael Caine
Always look after your Mum. You only get one.❤
That was my favourite movie as a child. I had it on VHS tape. Brilliant 👍
A little part. Lol. He was in half the movie.
I actually like jaws the revenge. Used to watch it over and over as a kid🤷
was thinking the same thing, I would watch it all the time as a kid and enjoyed it a lot. I guess the people who think it is so terrible haven't seen enough b-movies, because Jaws 4 feels like a big hollywood production compared to all that. It is an enjoyable film.
I like jaws 4 more than the first one. I remember watching it as a kid on basic cable it would play at 2am usually
Yo wtf i was like that too when i was a kid i grew up with this move on DVD around early 2000s thats insane
They need to make a new Jaws movie where it turns out that Michael Cane was a serial killer and framed the shark for all of the murders in all of the Jaws movies.

This is just pure gold. Movie so bad he cant recall the name, 1$ million for 2 weeks of work. Hahahahaha

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the funniest stories. I'd read this once in print and thought it was hilarious. Glad I finally saw it in interview. He didn't even know what it was called lol
How does the shark look worse 12 years after the first one?!
Wait, he couldn't afford to buy his mum a house before Jaws 4?!?
The house was actually built from the ground up, not bought out right. Eventually, it got to where he needed more money to finish the house and doing Jaws 4 covered the rest of the cost it would need for the house to be finished.
Also the tax rate in England in the 70s was very high. It's why he accepted a lot of crap parts.
That was sweet of him. At least something good came out that crappy movie.
You mean all of the delightful whining and crying from people who didn't like the sharkie?
Oh yeah, he was in that movie.
All I remember is that Roger Ebert hated it like his life depended on his outrage at it.

It’s funny, I love that flick but only because Michael Caine is in it 😂
I’d say that’s a noble enough cause
Bahahahaha

At least he has a sense of humor about it. Most actors would try to defend the role. He knew it sucked.

@@Hastur876 "Idiot director"? It was directed by Joseph Sargent, who has legitimate classics under his belt.
It's not so much that he did Jaws: The Revenge for a million dollar paycheck. It's that he was off filming it during the Oscars and couldn't show up in person to accept his Best Supporting Actor trophy for Hannah and Her Sisters.
Was it marvelous, or fucking marvelous like you meant to say?
I actually quite enjoy jaws 4.
Pretentious "actors" who go on and on about their "craft" etc should watch this ....
❤ Michael Caine
never saw jaws 4 as being bad. I guess because I watch a lot of b and z movies and to them jaws 4 doesn't even come close. always enjoyed watching it on tv growing up.
He doesn't remember the Jaws movie name?
I know. That is the really funny part. He isn't even sure what movie it was he was in.
To be fair he’s in so many movies he probably doesn’t remember all of them.
@@jeremykrause9443 really? Oh he pretended to forget because he didn't like being in JTR because he didn't even see it.
@@kevindavis296 he didnt even see that movie. It is a stupid movie about a shark killing people that he was paid a Million dollars to be part of. I wouldnt Care about its name either
Well, Dennis Quaid didn't remember he was in Jaws 3 either
I loved the Jaws movies as a kid. The one I never really liked was Jaws 3 . Never really liked that one
I love all of the jaws movies. I’m a simple man tho
Good for Mr Caine!
I think jaws 4 the revenge is just as good as part 1 and two but part 3 was the worst in my opinion.
Jaws 4 is TERRIBLE. The first Jaws film is easily the best Jaws film. Jaws 2 is decent. Jaws 3 is pretty bad but is still dumb fun and entertaining and Jaws 4 is just flat out terrible with no good qualities at all.

@@darthtrip7188 I agree with you 100%. That's how I rank them as well.
From best to worst :
1.) Jaws
2.) Jaws 2
3.) Jaws 3
4.) Jaws : The Revenge.
3 was horrendous, I like 4
3 is good in a guilty pleasure kinda way. And as terrible as Jaws The Revenge is, I'm strangely fascinated by it. How did we go from one of the best movies of all time to....that? What happened? Lol.
He was already a movie star at this point, why did he need the $$ from Jaws 4 to buy her a house?
His mum didn't need a hose that badly!
Jesus for a Million Dollars Id star in a crappy movie.
Shark movies as a whole is one of the most consistently bad genres. Jaws: The Revenge ain’t a good Jaws sequel but just as a killer shark film, it’s top tier.
Didn't he miss the Oscars for Jaws 4?
Yes
Still not sure how that one guy lived....like WTF?
He died in the original version, the test audience didn't like it so they had him live in the theatrical version
@@ShadowSonic2 Sort of. He died in the US theatrical version. The DVD and international cuts have him surviving though.
Good film .
I like all the jaws
Todays movies stinks!
Roger Ebert said if michael caine read the script, he should have stayed in l.a.
From what I understand, he was enticed by filming in The Bahamas. Like, he read the script, probably thinking it was dumb, but then said "YES!" and signed on when he turned the page and it said (Cut to: The Bahamas) and he realized he could get an all expenses paid vacation there.
The crappy thing for his mum was the house was a constant reminder of Mario Van Peebles' terrible Jamaican accent.
we all knew the black guy had to get ate by the shark
he couldn't pick up his oscar win because of his work on his film apparently
He spent the rest on pcp
Haha - great story.
mic drop
Haha brilliant
A million dollars for 2 weeks “work”
Jaws The Revenge sucks so bad
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
3 was worse
Whoopi Goldberg
Jaws 4 the Revenge was a Pile of Crap along with Jaws 3 JAWS and JAWS 2 are Classic Movies
That's a disgusting attitude.
Disgustingly based attitude, I don't know how he gets away with it.
He did it for the paycheck. He's not the first actor to do that and he won't be the last. Hell, he's done his fair share of crap just like many others. Watch him in The Swarm. Trust me, it's worse than Jaws the Revenge by miles.
@@alucard624 Oh yea. The swarm was more cheap plus the dumb story and included ALL the stars of veterans actors/actress in this.
Yes, the rubber shark had a nasty attitude
If it was made in the 1990s it woulda been better
I like jaws 4 more than the first one
