When you know about the horrible event that happened after the fourth jaws was finished. hating on the films is impossible to flat out cruel and being inhumane.
@@slagarcrue85So nobody is allowed to dislike the movie because of what happened to that poor little girl? It was way after filming had wrapped. She was working on All Dogs Go To Heaven at the time. The movie was terrible. The best thing about it was that it paid for Michael Cain's mother's house
Thank You!!! Also, Rip Richard Jeni - A comic's comic I think he would be called. Super smart and funny, never blew up the way some of his contemporaries did with tv shows etc., but he was funnier than many of them.
The Jaws sequels hit a wall right off the bat because that first film is a singular story. Doing sequels,no matter how good,would just be silly. For me,Jaws 3 is one of those "it's so bad it's good," movies. And it's such a piece of 80's nostalgia. And I actually saw both Superman 4 and Jaws the revenge in the theater back in 87'. Well,I was young and naive. lol
No one realizes the reason the shark looks so stupid in the revenge is because it is the same shark from the back lot. They just pulled the mold out ran it put some sand in the paint so it would look like it had rough skin and made a new set of teeth. It’s a terrible sculpture. The shark looks like it has down syndrome.
Jaws 4 was actually supposed to be their back to basics movie. Hey look, we're back in Amity briefly. Oh and look. There's nearly all the Brody family. They knew they made a misstep with Jaws 3. Jaws The Revenge is supposed to be them 'righting the ship'. Or maybe the revenge in question was their revenge on us for Jaws 3 flopping
@@jasonlewis3742 Well 3 wouldn't have flopped if they made it better. How can they get mad at people tuning out? Make better movies then. To kill your own franchise for almost forty years that not even a REMAKE was done is just embarrassing.

I saw Jaws 3D in theatres with my parents and still have the shark 3D glasses. It's not great by any means but I do have a soft spot for it. If nothing else it introduced me to the super cuteness of Lea Thompson two years before Back to the Future. Also saw Jaws The Revenge in the theatre summer of '87. The diabolical duo of that and Superman 4 which I also saw that summer is the stuff of legend. Two of the worst sequels ever in the same movie summer. Wow.😳
I bet Jaws 3-D was fun for folks our age back then and I think my handicap with this film was that I first saw it on TV and therefore missed the theater experience. So unfortunately I think it skews my view of it.
Hi. I saw Jaws 3D at Southwyck Mall in ‘83. I was 14. I remember walking out of the theater (across from Red Baron) in total disbelief. I was surprised that Friday The 13th Part 3 used better 3D technology than the high budget Jaws sequel.
I stumbled upon your channel a while back, and just wanted to say it's very enjoyable! Thanks for all your hard work. I see many more subscribers in your future!
Caught myself shaking head like an angry grandma while listened to Jaws-3 People-0... let's generously call it "plot". I don't see how that [censored] would be better than Jaws 3D. 3D isn't a masterpiece, but at least you can tell it's a sequel to Jaws. The god damned Cruel Jaws is a better Jaws movie than that Zuckers-esque weed induced gag.
Jaws 3-D is a comedy! I have a clear memory of seeing this classic in the theater as kid. The audience cracked up and cheered at every scene with the shark. I still love Jaws 3-D.
The idea that a fantastic writer like Richard Mattheson got his work mistreated in the earlier stages of the Jaws 3D gives me the usual mixture of irritation and outrage about Hollywood
As with all your videos, I'm very glad you covered these films, painful as it might've been. I had no idea until now that Jaws 3 was once a clever, funny idea in early development. I laughed out loud when you recited the original ideas for it. What a missed opportunity.
I was glad to finish the Jaws series. I had fun on this particular video. The next series I hope to finish is the Alien and Predator series. As we go on those films will be a longer slog than the Jaws series.
I don't care what anyone says, I love Jaws 3. I liked the main characters and how they interacted. I loved the closed in area of the water park and being behind the scenes with the employees. Sure the special effects were not great, but it was a fun movie.
Well done video.I completely agree with you on 4, but I'm a fan of 3, & also a fan of 3D. Unlike you, I saw 3 in a theater. The 1st attempt, me, my mother & brother, was turned away because it was sold out. So we went to see War Games instead. WG was cool, but I still wanted to see Jaws 3. Then I finally did, & I liked it. When you don't see a 3D film in 3D, it definitely takes away from the experience. A lot of people that rank the Friday the 13th series for example, often times criticize 3, but they've never seen it in 3D. I own a 3D TV too, & can actually watch these films at home in 3D. I wouldn't say Jaws 3 is as good as the 1st 2, but I dig it nonetheless. I thought putting in Sea World was interesting & a fresh idea. & I will say, I'm actually impressed with Joe Alves, for 1, not having directed a film before, & 2, doing it in 3D. Even seasoned directors have a difficult time directing in 3D. So I find that commendable.
JAWS forever will just be one movie to me. One single movie. Then three fan tributes to it. Yeah a lot of cast came back from 2, but still just a bonus tribute.
By my reckoning I’m two years older than you. And yeah, I saw Jaws 3D in the theater with my friends. I also remember my parents saying they were seeing Jaws the Revenge when it came out and I gave it a hard pass too for those other movies.
I think it's worth noting that Mario Van Peebles' character Jake originally died in the first edit of the film, after the shark is impaled by the front of the boat. Test audiences didn't like this ending so they reshot it. Peebles emerged unharmed and the shark's death was changed- for the better in my opinion. Instead of being impaled, roaring and bleeding from its mouth- it suddenly and inexplicably blows up. And in the most hilarious edit ever, they didn't have the full shark to film with so they had a small wooden shark in a bathtub with a firecracker on it mixed with footage of the first Jaws- and that's the ending that was actually shown in theaters. I love it, lol.
No. When I saw Jaws 4 in the theater the ending I saw was in fact the ending with Jake dying and the shark being impaled. I had never heard of or seen the alternate ending until about 5 years ago.
@@e.l.norton I believe the ending was changed mid theatrical release so some showings had the original ending but it was then changed and all media releases had the “shark inexplicably blows up” ending. I also think the international release had the original ending.
@@jb8331 I only ever saw the impalement/Jake dying ending, even on TV. I stumbled upon the "new" ending by accident on UA-cam. Before that I had no idea it existed and had never seen it any of the times I'd seen the movie over the years, which was admittedly not many. It was sort of a periodic challenge to watch it to see if it was as bad as I thought it was. Maybe I've seen it a dozen times. Never owned or watched a home video release, though.
@@e.l.norton Are you in the US? I believe the original ending was on all prints and releases overseas but the US had the ending change mid theatrical release. And all subsequent home video versions (minus the new uhd release) have the new ending. I know TNT broadcasts the original ending but I think all other station have the new one
Don't ever stop loving Jaws 3D. We all love what we love and that's a good thing. Hell, I love American Ninja, The Room, Battle Beyond the Stars and I even have the desire to see Caddyshack II every few years. Scream what you love from the rooftops, and I'll cheer you on.
Hi. I saw this movie at Southwyck Mall in ‘83. I was 14. I remember walking out of the theater (across from Red Baron) in total disbelief. Small world.
As of rewatching Jaws 4 yet way yet again of semi recent I Finally Thought wondered Especially in the Movie After the Bananna Boat scene WHY? Was there NO Police , Coast Guard or Military types going after the Huge 25 foot or so huge killer shark? Plus at the end What was Mrs Brody's Plan? She was alone , unarmed and on an empty boat. It made No sense she rushed right off to , Face the Shark ?
Richard Jeni was great but putting that aside, Jaws 3 and 4 should be erased out of existence. Killing Chief Martin Brody off screen is unforgiveable.
День тому+1
So glad these 2 sequels didn't have novelizations/or known ones.Also-I gave JAWS 3 a grudging 2 stars,but was shocked that JAWS THE REVENGE even got released.What garbage.
It's unfortunate you didn't do a bit more research on Jaws the Revenge, especially with regards to the survival of Mario Van Peebles' character. In the theatrical cut...he dies. Period. And audiences HATED it, citing it as a reason why they didn't like the movie as he was the most popular character. So, a week after the theatrical release, they reshot the ending where Peebles survives and that version was released internationally and home video in the US...
It had nothing to do with research. I knew about the alternate ending but covered it as most audiences will see it today. This was not a film worthy of my normal research schedule. But thanks for giving your thoughts.
I don't hate the concept of Jaws movie incorporating Voodoo/Santeria/Black Magic. It could have been films on location in a Caribbean, South American or off the coast of Africa setting. Make the majority of the cast Black/Latino locals, maybe even the lead is a local head of a resort/safari. American/European protagonists get caught with locals (seeking natural medicine? seeking voodoo help to solve problem? Find a missing daughter caught up in a local cult) meanwhile a big shark (representing evil) can be the B Plot killing locals. Something like that could've worked, but you know Hollywood.
Joe Dante was set to direct Jaws 3 People 0? I can't imagine him directing a sequel than is essentially a parody that takes constant jabs at previous entries in the series.
I saw it in theaters in 3D. I thought it was awesome and have liked it since. This reviewer only saw it on tv. Has to see it in theater with the glasses.
I saw it in a theatre, I remember it being so bad its the kind of film that if it were playing on a plane I would walk out on it... With no parachute...
Great vid, but thought you may have at least mentioned the alternate ending to Jaws the Revenge (which I believe was the theatrical one) which IMO is better than the one you highlighted (the home video version), where you see the shark sink with the front of the boat impaling it, instead of just exploding and Mario Van Peebles not bobbing back up at the end and surviving.
Did any of you get to see Jaws 3d on the big screen? I'd moved to Austin in late 08 and they had a beautiful 35mm print of it in glorious 3D and that was just an INCREDIBLE Night
That summer both Robocop and Jaws 4 were adjusted and edited during its opening week. I saw Jaws 4 opening day and Mario Van Peebles diedI believe audiences were not too happy about this so after the weekend then on VHS hus character would miraculously survive. And Robocops death scene would be edited down along with the staff member getting shot to pieces because the ED-209 wasn't able to hear him surrendor. The version of Robocop I saw opening day would later be released as The DIrectors Cut. - Toronto, Canada.
@@jimbowlan5804 On VHS and when it played on Buffalo Station here in a Canada. Jake survives. But in the theatre he died. Even Entertainment Tonight reported on the changes that were done to both films that opening week. LIke I said I would never be able to watch the full Robocop death scene until the Directors Cut was released. I went to the theatre with a bunch of school friends and we all saw both films and their changes a week later. None of us having the Mandella Effect.
@@theessentials450 Funny thing, my one friend got hassled on our way into the theatre for RoboCop. He eventually made it in when he began answering rapid-fire questions. And I complained the age issue could have been addressed when we were buying the tickets and not when we were entering the theatre.
I saw Jaws 3-D in the cinema way back in 1983. The movie was indeed bad but the 3D effects and shark were more than enough to make moviegoers around me scream.
The Science behind 3 was abysmal - sharks do not have any parenting instinct whatsoever. 2 attempted to give us a window into shark procreation, as the novelization does, but was changed into what we see onscreen.
Thanks for this meme filled extravaganza. When you used the predator 2 voodoo magic man clip, I got giddy with joy. If only there was a predator 3 for you to review. We don’t want to talk about all the other predator movies do we? 😂 hope this super thanks finds you well and best wishes for 2025. Tomorrow I’m going to watch Nosferatu
Thanks so much Crazy, very appreciated. I actually will cover ALL the Predator films made as well as anything having to do with Alien so fair warning for the future. Some of them I dread spending a month researching. I'm thinking of AVP 2 as I write this. Oh brother.
@ sigh indeed. Maybe predators was the most interesting one of the bunch but that one also takes a nose dive when Larry F. Apprears. So question then; will you also cover Prometheus, covenant and ugh… Romulus?
@@CrazyKoenie Yep, if it says Alien or Predator, I will cover it all. How about we turn it into a support group for those disenchanted with the franchises?
@@RepresentThis at this point I might need that support group lol. BTW it just dawned on me, robocop!! A perfect movie. Something tells me you’ll do it eventually.
my mother saved EVERYTHING from our childhoods i remember it like yesterday she picked up my older brother and i from jaws 3 she said so nice you went movies together you will remember this when your adults she took our 3 d glasses i gurantee they are in a box up in my parents attic somewhere
Speaking of Halloween, two of the more respected Halloween movies (H20 & Halloween) both ignored all Continuity after Halloween 2 and Halloween respectively... meanwhile the ones which respected the movies that came before were complete dreck. Ignoring Jaws 3D isn't one of the many, many problems of Jaws IV. Continuity shouldn't be a suicide pact. If you screw up, better to ignore the screw up than waste a bunch of time "fixing" the screw-up.
Of course you began with the standup comedy "Jaws: The Revenge" routine! That's how infamously bad The Revenge is. 3/3D on the other hand is also infamously bad, but I would've really liked the planned "Jaws 3, People 0" by Joe Dante to be the third Jaws film instead.
I went to the cinema very young with a few friends to see Jaws 3D. I loved it at the time! It is just a shame, that as you say there was no thought for after sales VHS. I also went to see Supergirl at the cinema, which I also enjoyed. I also watched Jaws The Revenge at the cinema. That was piss poor. However I have watched it that many times since, I have actually developed a slight fondness for it. It is all just part of the cheesy 80's ,which you have got to love. Well at least these movies are still talked about.
There are so many films I love that folks would say are stupid or objectively bad but as I always say films are like paintings. No one sees a movie the same way. So love what you love and I'll cheerlead you in any film you like no matter how I or anyone else feels about it. There were just such great memories in the 70's and 80's and the great films are a big reason why.
All of these videos have been really good. Your CE3 breakdown is the best video on this subject that I’ve found. Will you please consider the 2005 War of the Worlds movie? My son has an obsession with this film.
Let’s face it if they had done the voodoo angle, which in the novel is actually really cool. It would’ve at least made some kind of sense. Otherwise, you are revenge. Just a bad script.
Now, I’m Not saying this is a good idea but I literally can’t believe that Hollywood has never made another Jaws sequel or remake..I mean,just about everyone knows what “Jaws” is and it’s going on 40yrs now
Great video - don't be so harsh about Jaws 3 - Isaw it when it came out, complete with the Jaws 3-D glasses and it has it's place. Jaws is my favourite film of all time and even I can concede this
Oh, I have no doubt there is a lot of fun and love for Jaws 3 especially for kids and teens in the 80's but I kind of missed it in theaters and therefore that nostalgia hit for me is severely lessened, so I never had a connection to the film. Still, I had fun making this video and realize it's a bit different from my long form content. I don't enjoy doing short form analysis usually, but this one was different.
The outline of jaws 3 people zero sounded horrendous ... thankfully it never got made. Jaws 3d was dreadful but having heard what could of been it was definitely the better of two dumpster fires... hell even jaws the revenge was better than what they wanted to do with J3 p0
it was a law in the suburbs that if you owned a trans am or camaro in the 1980s you bound by law to blast the stroke by billy squier from your speakers at least 5 times a day 🤣
"Jaws The Revenge" is especially painful because Joseph Sargent had such an impressive Emmy-winning career in television directing episodes of "The Invaders," "Man From U.N.C.L.E.," "The Fugitive," and "Star Trek." He also directed Burt Reynolds' first "good ol' boy" hit "White Lightning," and also the classics "Taking Of Pelham One Two Three" and "Colossus: The Forbin Project." Given all that quality work, it's rather amazing how bad "Jaws 4" is. However, to his credit Sargent agreed and said that being given the power to both direct and also produce the thing definitely affected his judgment. So, even great filmmakers can make a turkey. Look at Spielberg's "1941."
@@RepresentThis Well, despite bombing hard, "1941" did have an impressive cast and wonderful miniature effects that somewhat offset the boot in the toilet scene, and the laborious set up to the house's destruction. Definitely a mixed bag, I'd say. 🤷♀
I take note with your claim that the soundtrack to Jaws 3 was mediocre. I think it’s way too good for the movie. Has a different vibe than the first two though.
A really interesting and fun video too. All your inserts made it a lot of fun and really emphasised how ludicrous these movies were at conception, let alone filming. I'm going to use my favourite C-word again...the movies that were released before and after give important context to what viewers were craving and what they were moving onto. When you break things down these movies could have been so much better with straightforward changes that mostly altered the tone of the movies. This might seem like a predictable suggestion. Are you going to cover the TV movie Peter Benchley's The Creature or Deep Blue Sea at any point?
I don't know about covering Creature, but maybe Deep Blue Sea. I don't see covering Renny Harlin's shark film for some time as I would want to cover some of his earlier stuff like Die Hard 2 or Cliffhanger before I pursued that one.
Hahahahah, i laughed so much, thanks! The only thing i remember from my childhood about this movie was the diver stuck inside the shark, that was really scary! From 4 i remember the guy without arm in the beginning and the shark Noise scream roar or whatever...
I've watched Jaws probably 60 times in my life. Jaws 2, maybe 8 or 10 times. Jaws 3 I think I've seen 4 times, just for kicks, but I can say with total certainty that I only watched Jaws 4 one single time. Somewhere in the early 90's when I was a kid, and even as a child, I knew it was a total trash heap. NO ONE WANTED ROARING SHARKS. No one.
That's a good insight Akrocanth because I've seen Jaws 3 several times just for the reason you mention, kicks. It has a well I saw the 1st and 2nd, might as well watch the third and after it I'm like no more, especially IV.
They both have good music scores and Revenge has a few good scenes (the title credits are excellent) but otherwise...yikes. They used to play Revenge a lot on TV so it is burned into my mind.
I saw it at the theatre when I was 9. It was a disappointment as a film, a 3D film, and a JAWS film. The dialogue and acting is pretty bad. 4 I was 13 and it was ridiculous the theatrical cut had Peebles dead then I saw it on video and they had changed it, for the worse if possible.
I'll bet you're glad to get those pieces of crap out of your system. Well done for showing them up for what they were. Now, The Truman Show is another thing altogether. I'll treat your next video with more respect lol. Your hard work is always appreciated 👍👍👍
So Steve Spielberg is to blame for Jaws 3 and by extension Jaws The Revenge. What a dumbass!!! If he wasn’t going to direct he should’ve stayed the hell out of it and kept his mouth shut! He doesn’t own Jaws!
Maybe if they didn't have "Jaws" in their titles, these movies wouldn't have been such a disappointment. Nevertheless, they're sloggy, sloppy, and soggy- and don't really have the fun vibe of so-bad-it's-good movies.
JAWS 3 People 0 was a rubbish idea. Glad it never happened. Spielberg, was right not to have this stupid idea for a movie send up his classic original. JAWS was the victim of its own success. Bloody film studio; mad with the smell of money, went ahead and pushed to further the original storyline - when Spielberg had already taken it to its very end.
I'll forgive Jaws 3 a lot to look at Lea Thompson in a bikini and hear Bess Armstrong say "Its mother is INSIDE the park!" before the shark appears right on cue. I think it's a good bad movie. Jaws: The Revenge is simply a waste of celluloid.
Say what you want....but JAWS: The Revenge was a WAY better movie than JAWS 3. Doesn't mean it was a GREAT movie, but I still enjoy watching it all the same. It was my first JAWS movie and I'll always have a soft spot for it. But there is zero excuse for JAWS 3.....if Louis Gossett, Jr. (one of the greatest actors ever, may he rest in peace) cannot save your movie, then you have one AWFUL film on your hands.
JAWS 4 must be the stupidest movie I have ever watched. I mean it is bad abd stupid in the ways that aren't even fun. It doesn' even feel like a real movie 😅
The writers just didn't care by the third one. Jaws 2 was ALRIGHT, but clearly didn't live up to the first AS GOOD AS IT COULD HAVE even with the OG cast and characters back. Part 3 suffered not only taking us out of Amity (not a bad thing though) but recasting the returning characters and making them 10+ years older than real time asked. So now the first two happened in the 1960s? Okay...moving on. And then Part 4 was just ridiculous. You have some of the OG characters with only Lorraine Gary reprising her role and the shark having some vendetta was quite laughable. IT'S A SHARK and what exactly is it taking revenge for? Movie never explains it, nor the shark can so why bother? And why would the Brodys still be living NEAR WATER anyway? Franchise was a mess that only got worse by each installment. 4 sealed the deal so bad we only got knock-off shark movies over the next four decades, nothing associated with the franchise that not even an attempt to remake the original was made. As of 2025, it STILL remains that way. No sequel, no spinoff, no reboot, no remake, NADA. -_-
@@RepresentThis You're welcome. I do hope there is a new movie to end the series on a high note and not with that pitiful Jaws: The Revenge, something that shows the current state of the Brodys but nothing to lead to more movies. But the problem is if the movie does do well and positively received, the studio behind is gonna want to continue.
I remember sitting in a packed theater opening weekend for Jaws 3-D. There was more derisive laughter over the running time than Jaws 3,People Zero could have hoped for.

Then I finally did, & I liked it. When you don't see a 3D film in 3D, it definitely takes away from the experience. A lot of people that rank the Friday the 13th series for example, often times criticize 3, but they've never seen it in 3D. I own a 3D TV too, & can actually watch these films at home in 3D. I wouldn't say Jaws 3 is as good as the 1st 2, but I dig it nonetheless. I thought putting in Sea World was interesting & a fresh idea. & I will say, I'm actually impressed with Joe Alves, for 1, not having directed a film before, & 2, doing it in 3D. Even seasoned directors have a difficult time directing in 3D. So I find that commendable.
Thanks for sharing, Shinobi. Love every opinion around here and glad you shared yours.
JAWS forever will just be one movie to me. One single movie.
Then three fan tributes to it. Yeah a lot of cast came back from 2, but still just a bonus tribute.
By my reckoning I’m two years older than you. And yeah, I saw Jaws 3D in the theater with my friends. I also remember my parents saying they were seeing Jaws the Revenge when it came out and I gave it a hard pass too for those other movies.
I think it's worth noting that Mario Van Peebles' character Jake originally died in the first edit of the film, after the shark is impaled by the front of the boat. Test audiences didn't like this ending so they reshot it. Peebles emerged unharmed and the shark's death was changed- for the better in my opinion. Instead of being impaled, roaring and bleeding from its mouth- it suddenly and inexplicably blows up. And in the most hilarious edit ever, they didn't have the full shark to film with so they had a small wooden shark in a bathtub with a firecracker on it mixed with footage of the first Jaws- and that's the ending that was actually shown in theaters. I love it, lol.
No. When I saw Jaws 4 in the theater the ending I saw was in fact the ending with Jake dying and the shark being impaled. I had never heard of or seen the alternate ending until about 5 years ago.
I laughed so hard at the ending of Jaws 4 that I actually hurt my side and had to be taken to hospital.
@@e.l.norton I believe the ending was changed mid theatrical release so some showings had the original ending but it was then changed and all media releases had the “shark inexplicably blows up” ending. I also think the international release had the original ending.
@@jb8331 I only ever saw the impalement/Jake dying ending, even on TV. I stumbled upon the "new" ending by accident on UA-cam. Before that I had no idea it existed and had never seen it any of the times I'd seen the movie over the years, which was admittedly not many. It was sort of a periodic challenge to watch it to see if it was as bad as I thought it was. Maybe I've seen it a dozen times. Never owned or watched a home video release, though.
@@e.l.norton Are you in the US? I believe the original ending was on all prints and releases overseas but the US had the ending change mid theatrical release. And all subsequent home video versions (minus the new uhd release) have the new ending. I know TNT broadcasts the original ending but I think all other station have the new one
this is so well done-- keep putting these out--- i would love a jurassic series
A Jurassic series is on the bucket list for this channel, but it will be some time before we get to it.
@@RepresentThis great channel!!!!
I have a real soft spot for JAWS 3D
I do too. Medicine won't do anything about it either. Wait. What?
well....at least they went for practical effects. we can give them that, I guess.
Don't ever stop loving Jaws 3D. We all love what we love and that's a good thing. Hell, I love American Ninja, The Room, Battle Beyond the Stars and I even have the desire to see Caddyshack II every few years. Scream what you love from the rooftops, and I'll cheer you on.
Hi. I saw this movie at Southwyck Mall in ‘83. I was 14. I remember walking out of the theater (across from Red Baron) in total disbelief. Small world.
@@RepresentThis Great list! Battle Beyond the Stars rocks too :)
Jaws 3 is garbage but Lea Thompson was so cute at the time that I use to watch snippets when they pass it on TV here in Italy.
As of rewatching Jaws 4 yet way yet again of semi recent I Finally Thought wondered Especially in the Movie After the Bananna Boat scene WHY? Was there NO Police , Coast Guard or Military types going after the Huge 25 foot or so huge killer shark? Plus at the end What was Mrs Brody's Plan? She was alone , unarmed and on an empty boat. It made No sense she rushed right off to , Face the Shark ?
She was going to kill it with the power of her Hollywood Big wig husband - Sid Sheinberg.
Another brilliant analysis!
Richard Jeni was great but putting that aside, Jaws 3 and 4 should be erased out of existence. Killing Chief Martin Brody off screen is unforgiveable.
So glad these 2 sequels didn't have novelizations/or known ones.Also-I gave JAWS 3 a grudging 2 stars,but was shocked that JAWS THE REVENGE even got released.What garbage.
Awesome video once again! 17:08 - I looked at that and realized that I saw everyone of those movies in the movie theater way back in 1983.
The 70's 80's and 90's were awesome for film. I miss those days where every month there were multiple movies that had to be seen.
It's unfortunate you didn't do a bit more research on Jaws the Revenge, especially with regards to the survival of Mario Van Peebles' character. In the theatrical cut...he dies. Period. And audiences HATED it, citing it as a reason why they didn't like the movie as he was the most popular character. So, a week after the theatrical release, they reshot the ending where Peebles survives and that version was released internationally and home video in the US...
It had nothing to do with research. I knew about the alternate ending but covered it as most audiences will see it today. This was not a film worthy of my normal research schedule. But thanks for giving your thoughts.
This is your funniest video yet. I laughed out loud several times.
Thanks a bunch Chris, glad you liked it.
I don't hate the concept of Jaws movie incorporating Voodoo/Santeria/Black Magic. It could have been films on location in a Caribbean, South American or off the coast of Africa setting. Make the majority of the cast Black/Latino locals, maybe even the lead is a local head of a resort/safari. American/European protagonists get caught with locals (seeking natural medicine? seeking voodoo help to solve problem? Find a missing daughter caught up in a local cult) meanwhile a big shark (representing evil) can be the B Plot killing locals. Something like that could've worked, but you know Hollywood.
Yeah, your script sounds better.
Oooh! I love your doxes! So thorough and detailed!
So glad you are here with us Fylaxx.
Thank you so much for your well made and well researched videos! Beste Grüße aus Deutschland :)
Ah Germany, my birthplace. Miss it so much Murdock.
"...and all other sh*t you ain't never heard off!"
lol, that really got me good haha!
I love I'm Gonna Git you Sucka. I see it every year.
@@RepresentThis I wondered what it was from, never seen it but maybe I should hehe
Joe Dante was set to direct Jaws 3 People 0? I can't imagine him directing a sequel than is essentially a parody that takes constant jabs at previous entries in the series.
I saw it in theaters in 3D. I thought it was awesome and have liked it since. This reviewer only saw it on tv. Has to see it in theater with the glasses.
I saw it in a theatre, I remember it being so bad its the kind of film that if it were playing on a plane I would walk out on it...
With no parachute...
Great vid, but thought you may have at least mentioned the alternate ending to Jaws the Revenge (which I believe was the theatrical one) which IMO is better than the one you highlighted (the home video version), where you see the shark sink with the front of the boat impaling it, instead of just exploding and Mario Van Peebles not bobbing back up at the end and surviving.
Did any of you get to see Jaws 3d on the big screen? I'd moved to Austin in late 08 and they had a beautiful 35mm print of it in glorious 3D and that was just an INCREDIBLE Night
I did. I was 7. Don't know why my mother thought it was a film appropriate for my age
I don't actually dislike Jaws 3D.. Revenge is truly awful though.
That summer both Robocop and Jaws 4 were adjusted and edited during its opening week. I saw Jaws 4 opening day and Mario Van Peebles diedI believe audiences were not too happy about this so after the weekend then on VHS hus character would miraculously survive. And Robocops death scene would be edited down along with the staff member getting shot to pieces because the ED-209 wasn't able to hear him surrendor. The version of Robocop I saw opening day would later be released as The DIrectors Cut. - Toronto, Canada.
@mikekaye3874 Jake surviving was the Europe ending
@@jimbowlan5804 On VHS and when it played on Buffalo Station here in a Canada. Jake survives. But in the theatre he died. Even Entertainment Tonight reported on the changes that were done to both films that opening week. LIke I said I would never be able to watch the full Robocop death scene until the Directors Cut was released. I went to the theatre with a bunch of school friends and we all saw both films and their changes a week later. None of us having the Mandella Effect.
I went to see ROBOCOP, the time they gave a fuck about my age, 15. Had to watch JAWS TR. Ugh. Audience laughed it off the screen.
@@theessentials450 Funny thing, my one friend got hassled on our way into the theatre for RoboCop. He eventually made it in when he began answering rapid-fire questions. And I complained the age issue could have been addressed when we were buying the tickets and not when we were entering the theatre.
The underwater shots of the shark in part 4 make it look like a piece of cardboard.It’s floating in the water rather than look like it’s swimming.
I saw Jaws 3-D in the cinema way back in 1983. The movie was indeed bad but the 3D effects and shark were more than enough to make moviegoers around me scream.
I do wish I saw this in theaters, but it is what it is.
The Science behind 3 was abysmal - sharks do not have any parenting instinct whatsoever. 2 attempted to give us a window into shark procreation, as the novelization does, but was changed into what we see onscreen.
Thanks for this meme filled extravaganza. When you used the predator 2 voodoo magic man clip, I got giddy with joy. If only there was a predator 3 for you to review. We don’t want to talk about all the other predator movies do we? 😂 hope this super thanks finds you well and best wishes for 2025. Tomorrow I’m going to watch Nosferatu
Thanks so much Crazy, very appreciated. I actually will cover ALL the Predator films made as well as anything having to do with Alien so fair warning for the future. Some of them I dread spending a month researching. I'm thinking of AVP 2 as I write this. Oh brother.
@ sigh indeed. Maybe predators was the most interesting one of the bunch but that one also takes a nose dive when Larry F. Apprears. So question then; will you also cover Prometheus, covenant and ugh… Romulus?
@@CrazyKoenie Yep, if it says Alien or Predator, I will cover it all. How about we turn it into a support group for those disenchanted with the franchises?
@@RepresentThis at this point I might need that support group lol. BTW it just dawned on me, robocop!! A perfect movie. Something tells me you’ll do it eventually.
@@CrazyKoenie Yes I will, guaranteed.
my mother saved EVERYTHING from our childhoods i remember it like yesterday she picked up my older brother and i from jaws 3 she said so nice you went movies together you will remember this when your adults she took our 3 d glasses i gurantee they are in a box up in my parents attic somewhere
This video is hilarious man. Well done!
a spoof of JAWS.......why just not make it about the mechanical shark malfunctioning into a killer.......like Westworld
Speaking of Halloween, two of the more respected Halloween movies (H20 & Halloween) both ignored all Continuity after Halloween 2 and Halloween respectively... meanwhile the ones which respected the movies that came before were complete dreck.
Ignoring Jaws 3D isn't one of the many, many problems of Jaws IV. Continuity shouldn't be a suicide pact. If you screw up, better to ignore the screw up than waste a bunch of time "fixing" the screw-up.
RIP Richard Jeni
Jaws was a classic! Jaws 2 was a decent sequel. Jaws 3 was terrible and Jaws 4 was awful. I say the same about the Superman Franchise.
Of course you began with the standup comedy "Jaws: The Revenge" routine! That's how infamously bad The Revenge is.
3/3D on the other hand is also infamously bad, but I would've really liked the planned "Jaws 3, People 0" by Joe Dante to be the third Jaws film instead.
2:20 - his name was Matty Simmons, not Marty Simons.
Yep, thanks, mistakes do happen.
I went to the cinema very young with a few friends to see Jaws 3D. I loved it at the time! It is just a shame, that as you say there was no thought for after sales VHS. I also went to see Supergirl at the cinema, which I also enjoyed. I also watched Jaws The Revenge at the cinema. That was piss poor. However I have watched it that many times since, I have actually developed a slight fondness for it. It is all just part of the cheesy 80's ,which you have got to love. Well at least these movies are still talked about.
There are so many films I love that folks would say are stupid or objectively bad but as I always say films are like paintings. No one sees a movie the same way. So love what you love and I'll cheerlead you in any film you like no matter how I or anyone else feels about it. There were just such great memories in the 70's and 80's and the great films are a big reason why.
So by refusing to let Hollywood laugh at his film Spielberg made sure it’s sequels were a laughing stock. I really like the sound of the parody.
To be completely honest, every film other than the original is a joke...
@
Quint was dead, Hooper was dead and most importantly, the shark was dead. There was just no reason for a sequel other than a cash grab.
All of these videos have been really good. Your CE3 breakdown is the best video on this subject that I’ve found.
Will you please consider the 2005 War of the Worlds movie? My son has an obsession with this film.
It is possible we will do that one someday. I doubt it will be in 2025 though.
Let’s face it if they had done the voodoo angle, which in the novel is actually really cool. It would’ve at least made some kind of sense. Otherwise, you are revenge. Just a bad script.
Now, I’m Not saying this is a good idea but I literally can’t believe that Hollywood has never made another Jaws sequel or remake..I mean,just about everyone knows what “Jaws” is and it’s going on 40yrs now
Jaws 3 $87million on $18million budget
Doesn't sound too bad
It made it because of the name but no one really liked it. Just like Superman 3.
I call Jaws 3 3D
In Search of: Gimmicks..
Great video - don't be so harsh about Jaws 3 - Isaw it when it came out, complete with the Jaws 3-D glasses and it has it's place. Jaws is my favourite film of all time and even I can concede this
Oh, I have no doubt there is a lot of fun and love for Jaws 3 especially for kids and teens in the 80's but I kind of missed it in theaters and therefore that nostalgia hit for me is severely lessened, so I never had a connection to the film. Still, I had fun making this video and realize it's a bit different from my long form content. I don't enjoy doing short form analysis usually, but this one was different.
@RepresentThis you've done a great job - loved it
The outline of jaws 3 people zero sounded horrendous ... thankfully it never got made. Jaws 3d was dreadful but having heard what could of been it was definitely the better of two dumpster fires... hell even jaws the revenge was better than what they wanted to do with J3 p0
Sharke jokes in a shark skin suit
17:34 I don’t care where you are in America, there’s always a Pontiac in the low-income projects!

"Jaws The Revenge" is especially painful because Joseph Sargent had such an impressive Emmy-winning career in television directing episodes of "The Invaders," "Man From U.N.C.L.E.," "The Fugitive," and "Star Trek." He also directed Burt Reynolds' first "good ol' boy" hit "White Lightning," and also the classics "Taking Of Pelham One Two Three" and "Colossus: The Forbin Project." Given all that quality work, it's rather amazing how bad "Jaws 4" is. However, to his credit Sargent agreed and said that being given the power to both direct and also produce the thing definitely affected his judgment. So, even great filmmakers can make a turkey. Look at Spielberg's "1941."
Awww gee gallery. I love 1941. :)
@@RepresentThis Well, despite bombing hard, "1941" did have an impressive cast and wonderful miniature effects that somewhat offset the boot in the toilet scene, and the laborious set up to the house's destruction. Definitely a mixed bag, I'd say. 🤷♀
Jaws 3 wasn't that bad, but Jaws 4 the Revenge was definitely WORSE! but at least neither of them had Donna Wilks incessantly screaming!
You won me over with the jabs at lucasfilm. Just subbed
So Jaws 4 was made so Sid Shinberg could get his wife out of the house?
If Part 3 would get fixed visuals, its reputation might improve
I take note with your claim that the soundtrack to Jaws 3 was mediocre. I think it’s way too good for the movie. Has a different vibe than the first two though.
Disney’s Star Wars sequels were even worse.
A really interesting and fun video too. All your inserts made it a lot of fun and really emphasised how ludicrous these movies were at conception, let alone filming. I'm going to use my favourite C-word again...the movies that were released before and after give important context to what viewers were craving and what they were moving onto.
When you break things down these movies could have been so much better with straightforward changes that mostly altered the tone of the movies.
This might seem like a predictable suggestion. Are you going to cover the TV movie Peter Benchley's The Creature or Deep Blue Sea at any point?
I don't know about covering Creature, but maybe Deep Blue Sea. I don't see covering Renny Harlin's shark film for some time as I would want to cover some of his earlier stuff like Die Hard 2 or Cliffhanger before I pursued that one.
Hahahahah, i laughed so much, thanks! The only thing i remember from my childhood about this movie was the diver stuck inside the shark, that was really scary! From 4 i remember the guy without arm in the beginning and the shark Noise scream roar or whatever...
Oh, that shark scream. My ears are ringing.
@@RepresentThisMichael Caine was never The same after this...
summer of 1983 had some good movies but no year will ever top the summer of 1984 when it comes to movies
Please.. Summer of 1982 is the best one yet
0:48 that was truly the golden age of standup comedy.
I've watched Jaws probably 60 times in my life. Jaws 2, maybe 8 or 10 times. Jaws 3 I think I've seen 4 times, just for kicks, but I can say with total certainty that I only watched Jaws 4 one single time. Somewhere in the early 90's when I was a kid, and even as a child, I knew it was a total trash heap. NO ONE WANTED ROARING SHARKS. No one.
That's a good insight Akrocanth because I've seen Jaws 3 several times just for the reason you mention, kicks. It has a well I saw the 1st and 2nd, might as well watch the third and after it I'm like no more, especially IV.
They both have good music scores and Revenge has a few good scenes (the title credits are excellent) but otherwise...yikes.
They used to play Revenge a lot on TV so it is burned into my mind.
I saw this at the theater. My first 3-d movie. Those dumb blue and red glasses. The movie was so bad it made it awesome. Lol
This crap is why Hollywood is dying. I don't know how it lasted this long
I saw it at the theatre when I was 9. It was a disappointment as a film, a 3D film, and a JAWS film. The dialogue and acting is pretty bad. 4 I was 13 and it was ridiculous the theatrical cut had Peebles dead then I saw it on video and they had changed it, for the worse if possible.
I'll bet you're glad to get those pieces of crap out of your system. Well done for showing them up for what they were.
Now, The Truman Show is another thing altogether. I'll treat your next video with more respect lol. Your hard work is always appreciated 👍👍👍
Pinto's were better. I drove one to see Jaws 3.
I actually paid money to see both of these in the theater when I was a kid. I hated both.
So Steve Spielberg is to blame for Jaws 3 and by extension Jaws The Revenge. What a dumbass!!! If he wasn’t going to direct he should’ve stayed the hell out of it and kept his mouth shut! He doesn’t own Jaws!
Maybe if they didn't have "Jaws" in their titles, these movies wouldn't have been such a disappointment.
Nevertheless, they're sloggy, sloppy, and soggy- and don't really have the fun vibe of so-bad-it's-good movies.
24:05 An NES game.
Missed that one Humongous.
@RepresentThis -- Though it's very shitty, it's also kinda fun once you get the hang of it; it becomes way to easy to finish and way to fast.
@@Hum0ng0us I have the game on my mini-NES but I never tried it. Truthfully, I was always more of a SNES and PlayStation 1 guy.
JAWS 3 People 0 was a rubbish idea. Glad it never happened.
Spielberg, was right not to have this stupid idea for a movie send up his classic original.
JAWS was the victim of its own success. Bloody film studio; mad with the smell of money, went ahead and pushed to further the original storyline - when Spielberg had already taken it to its very end.
I'll forgive Jaws 3 a lot to look at Lea Thompson in a bikini and hear Bess Armstrong say "Its mother is INSIDE the park!" before the shark appears right on cue. I think it's a good bad movie. Jaws: The Revenge is simply a waste of celluloid.
A lot of people love Jaws 3, and I'll cheerlead them, just not the movie. :)
I liked superman 3… 4 not so much
Say what you want....but JAWS: The Revenge was a WAY better movie than JAWS 3. Doesn't mean it was a GREAT movie, but I still enjoy watching it all the same. It was my first JAWS movie and I'll always have a soft spot for it. But there is zero excuse for JAWS 3.....if Louis Gossett, Jr. (one of the greatest actors ever, may he rest in peace) cannot save your movie, then you have one AWFUL film on your hands.
I agree. I think JAWS 4 works better if you imagine that there are two sharks in the story, rather than one shark following the family to the Bahamas.
Jaws 3 is atleast a bit fun .JTR is just pure garbage.
JAWS 4 must be the stupidest movie I have ever watched. I mean it is bad abd stupid in the ways that aren't even fun. It doesn' even feel like a real movie 😅
The writers just didn't care by the third one. Jaws 2 was ALRIGHT, but clearly didn't live up to the first AS GOOD AS IT COULD HAVE even with the OG cast and characters back. Part 3 suffered not only taking us out of Amity (not a bad thing though) but recasting the returning characters and making them 10+ years older than real time asked. So now the first two happened in the 1960s? Okay...moving on. And then Part 4 was just ridiculous. You have some of the OG characters with only Lorraine Gary reprising her role and the shark having some vendetta was quite laughable. IT'S A SHARK and what exactly is it taking revenge for? Movie never explains it, nor the shark can so why bother? And why would the Brodys still be living NEAR WATER anyway? Franchise was a mess that only got worse by each installment. 4 sealed the deal so bad we only got knock-off shark movies over the next four decades, nothing associated with the franchise that not even an attempt to remake the original was made. As of 2025, it STILL remains that way. No sequel, no spinoff, no reboot, no remake, NADA. -_-
Hopefully we will never see another Jaws sequel. Thanks so much for your thoughts, Devon.
@@RepresentThis You're welcome. I do hope there is a new movie to end the series on a high note and not with that pitiful Jaws: The Revenge, something that shows the current state of the Brodys but nothing to lead to more movies. But the problem is if the movie does do well and positively received, the studio behind is gonna want to continue.
As bad as jaws 3 stinks the script for jaws 3 people 0 sounds as awful as most spoofs from that time and disrespect to the greatest movie of all time
You're using too many film and TV clips and I'm running low on patience.
Jaws 3 would have been better off with Chevy Chase in a big shark suit devouring people than the wretched, awful piece of dreck audiences got in 1983.
