    I'll take Jaws the Revenge over Jaws 3 any day of the week. Loved having Lorraine Gary return (who was nominated for a Saturn Award as Best Actress for her role). PQand AQ looked FANTASTIC! Biggest disappointment: Universal should've included the 'alternate ending' via seamless branching as opposed to a stand alone bonus feature.

    I watched this movie like a million times one summer in Jr High back in like 88, so this was a must have for me. I’m happy I got the whole set in 4K Steelbook…. Had to pay a pretty penny for a sealed copy of part 1 (BBY Steelbook release)

    • @georgenoriegajr
      @georgenoriegajr 2 місяці тому

      The ending that's currently available on home media is 100% reshoots, because the original ending of the film saw the shark get impaled by the broken bowsprit, the boat gets broken in half, and the shark sinks to the bottom still impaled by the bowsprit. It then fades to the airport runway scene:
      ua-cam.com/video/YqiWWmAEfTA/v-deo.html
      It was bad, but at least made SOME sense.
      For whatever godforsaken reason, that ending was discarded and instead we got that abomination of a re-shot ending where the shark inexplicably explodes, Jake survives, and there's a voiceover when Ellen boards the plane telling Michael to take care of Jake (an overdub by Lorraine Gary since originally Jake doesn't survive).
      That scene in the tank where Michael swims over to Jake was part of reshoots done when the decision was to change the ending and have Jake live.
      For what it's worth, Jake doesn't survive in the novelization either.

    There's a famous quote by Michael Caine about the movie that I find amusing. He said- "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific." Meaning of course, he was able to build his home from the paycheck he received from the movie.

    I'll be blunt the only Jaws films I'll own in 4k will be Jaws 1 and 2 once I get a 4k player. The only way I'll consider getting Jaws 3 is if the picture and sound are better than blu-ray you will never see me adding Jaws the Revenge to my physical media library. When Jaws the Revenge came out on blu-ray for just five bucks I passed on it. That's how bad the film is to me there is absolutely nothing positive that I can say about the fourth film as a Jaws fan. In terms of Jaws 3 despite some of it's problems with the 3D it's at least a guilty pleasure to watch for fun.

    Hi Ken, I agree with you on many points. I have a few comments.
    #1. Its Lorraine Gary, not Gray, but anyway...
    I'm quite happy with the improvements in 4K over the Blu-ray for #3 & #4. #3 on Blu-ray is so awful and cannot watch it.
    #2 dropped the ATMOS which I found disappointing. ATMOS on #3 is quite good with the under water scenes having above water sounds overhead.

    Oh Jesus man how can you say that it's not the worst movie ever made? I can literally spit fire off the top of my head the faults with this movie. But the worst sin this film has committed is it killed the franchise we haven't had a new film in 37 years. We've had several shark films over the years but not a single studio has suggested giving us a requel to Jaws. I personally think that the franchise can be saved if they can write a good story, with a good cast, and set it after Jaws 2 ignoring 3 and 4.

    I like The Practical Goofy Faced shark they use ovrr say CGI I recent saw a comparrison video where someone recreated the Brody son swims frantic away from Jaws in part 4 to the ship wreck etc and one version this uploader was trying had a way real great white shark looking effect going on split screen above the real theatrical shark. I think the full real look of the shark Ruins the Horror effect somehow unless Its a movie only like 48 Meters down or Open water series etc, In the Movie The Shallows , Or The Meg , The big CGI ugh Sharks looks best when under water in the dark waters too shadowy hidden effects besides again I find only practical sharks are best to use. Plus Please Let the Director Renny Harlin Make Another Deep Blue Sea Movie , Just Fun Suggesting. Just My opinions.
