When a behind the scenes feature is massively more interesting than the film, you have to wonder what the hell was going through the minds of the people who singed off on the script.
It’s funny that the great story telling and characterisation of JAWS was overshadowed a mechanical shark that often didn’t work properly. Nevertheless it spawned 3 sequels. Amazing.
Pt 2. After all these years I don’t think Jaws The Revenge is as horrible as people think. That reward goes to Jaws 3-thankfully the 3D gimmick saved it. When Bruce roars like an enraged lion I thought it was awesome. Now that I’m almost 40 I still think it’s awesome even though many don’t, and we know sharks can’t roar. But like actress Lorraine Gary said, “It’s psychological.” So more likely than not the roar emitted from Bruce when he rises from the water is heard only by Ellen; psychological. I remember years ago being asked, “How did Ellen possibly know the ending scene from Jaws 1 if she wasn’t there? And what her late husband says? Come on now!!” Well after seriously thinking about the question I said, “maybe Brody mentioned the incident in bits and pieces, because the experience obviously affected him. Talking about what happened must have been his attempt at therapy which sadly didn’t work in the end. Also, we know Ellen obviously saw “The Orca” from Jaws 1. So all of this is merely replaying again and again in her mind-memories. Hence the light/dark/faded brown of those scenes, like old pictures taken from a photo album.
Only killer whales can defeat a great white shark. So great white shark are not on top of the food chain. And we didn't get a behind the scene look if the mechanical shark nor an interview from Judith Barsi Thea Brody. It's so sad and very upsetting that she was murdered by her damn jealous father!!!!
If somebody, anybody can answer this question I’d really appreciate it. Jaws 4 was the first Jaws movie I ever saw, my dad introduced it to me in 1989 when I was 6. I loved it!! (Yes I was a strange child…probably why today I’m a horror writer and collector 😂) The scene I still vividly remember nearly 34 years later is the banana boat scene; 2nd is Shawn’s scene in the beginning (at 6 seeing a set of large pointy teeth leap out of dark lonely water frightened and intrigued me)….but the scene I mentioned got me bc of the notion: trapped inside the mouth of a 20ft+ shark is scary. Glad to finally learn the name of the actress who colored and birthed a nightmare for me thanks to her fine acting. These days it’s not so easy to actually contact your acting heroes, but does anyone know or can suggest ways I might reach Diane, ask for an autograph, and thank her for helping to nurture my childhood with fright…eventually becoming my life’s vocation? Again, thank you!!!
Thanks so much for posting this! I had never seen it before. Jaws The Revenge has always held a special place with me, primarily due to childhood nostalgia. I understand why it gets all of the hate though, ha ha. I do feel that the ending most people get to see (spoilers: where the shark randomly explodes) is way inferior to the shark getting impaled by the front of the boat. I do like that Jake lives in the more common ending but I wish they would have left the boat ramming in there.
The only thing about that I enjoyed about Jaws IV was the beautiful locale where it was filmed! The turquois/emerald water around the Bahamas always catches the eye with the stunning colors! The story.... hastily written at the end... The acting... shallow and dull... (especially by Lorraine Gary and Mario Van Peebles) The directing.... forgettable The 'shark'.... STUPID!
I remember sitting in cinema watching this and not really entertained and the ending was like the lights went up in the cinema and the director came out and said we didn't have an end in but I've come here from Hollywood to kick you in the balls
I could never understand why the production team gave the shark a huge underbite in the sequels (especially in the first one). That's like Disney giving Abraham Lincoln a club foot, a hunched back and a crew cut in the Hall of Presidents.
The most astonishing thing is the director of this sequel made the phenomenally sharp and successful, "The Taking of Pelham 1,2 3". The movies seem to be made by two different people.
It's funny how nobody ever believed in that there was a shark out there this big in the movies I always wondered how come they never retrieve the body of any of the Jaws just to prove hey this is out there
Love this movie - it's about paranoia confirmation. The shark represents the idea of the world (or demons, or whatever) out to get you ... only in the movie it turns out to be true, and then Ellen takes it out. There's catharsis in seeing the tables being turned on your own paranoia.
Idk. I enjoyed this movie and this behind the scenes look. To me, the banana boat scene is horrifying. I could NOT see myself doing that scene. Even though u know the shark isn't real and everything around u that's happening is somewhat controlled, I don't think it would register in my head that it was fake. Even after doing it so many times and the paycheck had alot of zeros on it, I'd still pass. Js.
They put in all this work to make JAWS THE REVENGE....this movie turned out to be the worst jaws...EXCUSE ME....the worst shark film in history...well then again there is cruel jaws but...yeah👈👈👈👈
6:11// M C mentions, 'working with beautiful people' as a reason to work this film. it cost him the chance to be on stage at the oscars to accept his award. due to he being on set at the time of the awards' // he is still kicking
He would later state that working this film gave him the paycheck to buy his mother a beautiful house, so not all was lost. Funny enough he would also say that he has never watched the film.
@@johnreidroberts2838 Sorry for the delay, but i was off on a long Victoria Day weekend. M C is not the only actor to use the funds from JAWS4 to buy themselves a house. The Daily Jaws interview with Lance Guest provided Lance with the same sit rep. Lance used the money from his pay from Jaws 4 to buy his house - which he slightly showed during his interview. myop when one movie can bring such happiness (lasting too) to more than one generation of families, that be a worthy pay to check. I want to see a JAWS 5: the 5 Families (that kept the beaches open). If Mrs P B can put something down, have it scripted, it would be a better ending than JAWS4. the premise is this. Mayor V has 5 families, 4 from the island/1 from NYC/NJ mafia, that force him (it was the 1970s, when the mob ruled) to KEEP the Beaches Open. the 4 families from the island include, the hotel owner, the shop keeper (even though he had nothing on the list from his customer), the newspaper guy, and the oldest family of the island. The point of view is from the Mayor. scenes that had the mayor (in JAWS) in them would be re shot, but it is not a action movie like JAWS (1). I would Cast robert shaw's son as Quint. have him repeat Quint's Speech (from the Meeting). // I would have the movie end with the mayor watching the Orca float out to sea to hunt the shark. then have ending credits come with the Log of 'three men went out, only 2 came back'. etc etc. // There is a lot of buzz about the Mob these days. a lot of the gangsters that are alive have you tube channels. I figure it would be easy to cast one, or more, of them as the mob family members from NYC/NJ. imagine the look on their faces as the guy loses his leg to the shark - that scene has to be in the movie. then the Mob and the rest of the others at the beach, would be Mad at 'our own kids were on the beach and the shark was IS real'. lolol Jaws 4 is just not good enough to be the end of the franchise. But another shark action movie can not replace the JAWS from SS. myop better to play it as a drama, from the Mayor's Pt of V. Jaws: the 5 Families. // just when u thought it was safe to go on vacation. have a great rest of May. Long Live the King! without royalty, there be no Victoria Day long weekend. LOLO God Bless // oh, i just watched 'something is in the water'. a shark movie. it is ok. I see there is another shark movie, 'last breathe', coming out. looks ok. but it is no JAWS.
@@johnreidroberts2838 a lot of actors do not watch their own films. it is like a job and not a fantasy. Ray Liotta said, he never watched 'Field of Dreams'. after the number of movies M C has been in, he might not have time to watch them. LOLOL

cocaine
I liked the movie, I thought it was okay
Actually the script/screenplay really wasn't the big problem here. The problem was more with the effects and the editing.
dollar signs they knew anything put out with jaws name would make money so thats why we got this steaming turd of a movie🤣
Lol
all that hard work to make such a reviled film
I really enjoyed this movie throughout my childhood
I think the best way to enjoy Jaws 4, is to imagine that there are two sharks. Only in the minds of the Brody family is it the same shark.
RIP Judith
A 17ft white isn't a medium size. Thank goodness education has taken over and respect has grown for these misunderstood creatures.
That's true, but at the time it was widely believed (even by scientists) that they could grow much larger.
They can.@@jayt1077
@@jayt1077UMMMM it proof that they can👈👈👈
I love watching this, brings back good memories.

Love the pan and scan version where you can see all mechanical shark platform lol
14:46, the actress who played the Banana Boat victim is one of the most beautiful women I've seen in my life
She's a timeless beauty.
UMMMMMM🤣😂NO
Mari Van Peebles was so cool. Wish he were still starring in films. I saw this the first week it opened. So long ago.
It says a lot when the director story boards a scene using the sand.
People can hate this movie all they want... this is pure nostalgia to me, the first jaws movie I ever owned
4:48. Why do we hear Quint screaming??😂
Wtf 😂😂😂
They wanted to recapture JAWS brutality
The bit when the camera makes it roar used to have us crying with laughter.What a turkey!
Huh. This was an interesting little behind the scenes program. I've never seen it before. Thanks for uploading it! :-)
This movie isn’t great but it’s certainly not as bad as people say it is.
The shark and the boat coming to contact in a way that I can't reveal to you lol

No idea how to contact her, but this was the first Jaws film I ever watched as a child. Loved it back then, too.
If you took the shark scenes out of this movie me you almost have a complete romantic drama.
Poor Eel!
I never thought it was possible to love such a horrible film so much.😂😂😂
Well, at least Michael Caine was able to buy his mom a nice house with the money he got out the film.
Lots of people doesn't like this movie. It's not that great as the original, but it's still enjoyable. I really like the actors as well.

RIP Judith Barsi. Such a tragedy
I really wish they had interviewed Judith Barsi (who played Thea, the little granddaughter) for this! 😔
That poor child RIP
That was a horrible thing that happened to her.
Lance Guest was a pallbearer at her funeral.
Pretty cool how they made this even if it's terrible lol
Crap movie, but nothing will ever beat JAWS and JAWS 2....
3:05
Orca: Lenny! Come listen to this bullsh**
jaws the revenge is to movies what billy squiers rock me tonight is to music videos 🤣

As much as this movie sucks...that fake looking shark still scared the crap outta me!
Yeh man! I’d never get in the water with it
@@cazcast2504 100%!!
why is there a Paramount tag at the end? 👀
This was the best and most realistic film of the series
You kidding?
lol 😂
Hilarious.
"It's the women vs the shark" -the character that stands there literally calling for "somebody" to do something.

They should’ve just used the real shark stock footage.
They should have used a real shark 🦈 😂😂😂
Contender for one of the worst films EVER made.
Did the shark bite his arm in real life or is it a fake arm
Duhh fake
Water explosion, acting then fake
You give him an over size rain coat strap his arm tight and put on fake blood, but that scene still haunts me
@@darkangelw8472 lol same
Really?
a lot of hard work for a crap movie....maybe they should have put some more effort into a script
2:03 God almighty showing a child a shark like that is unaceptable.
The level of ignorance in this documentary almost matches the stupidity of the movie itself.
One of the worst movies ever!
You haven’t seen enough bad movies then, this isn’t even close to be one of the worst
Terrible movie. There is only one truly great jaws movie and that is the first one.
Gosh. The overacting everysingle of the cast was just unbelivable. Jaws "IV" was the dumbest and lazyist movie plus sequel was ever filmed.
