The family of widow Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gary) has long been plagued by shark attacks, and this unfortunate association continues when her son is the victim of a massive great white. In mourning, Ellen goes to visit her other son, Michael (Lance Guest), in the Bahamas, where she meets the charming Hoagie Newcombe (Michael Caine). As Ellen and Hoagie begin a relationship, a huge shark appears off the coast of the island, and Ellen's trouble with the great whites begins again.

Critics Consensus

Illogical, tension-free, and filled with cut-rate special effects, Jaws: The Revenge is a sorry chapter in a once-proud franchise.

'Jaws: The Revenge' bears the marks of its rushed production, from the seemingly first-draft screenplay to its sloppy execution to the slender running time (under 90 minutes without credits) to the generally cheap look and feel.

Jaws is looking a bit long in the tooth these days.

Dumb beyond belief, hollow, bloody and nonsensical, it's Universal Studios' vanity movie, a way of providing employment yet again for its Great White icon.

A great idea at the beginning, but now it's time to cut bait.

Jaws never needed a sequel, and with diminishing returns with each film, it’s easy to see why. The true revenge Jaws got wasn’t on the Brody family, but on moviegoers.

We should all be thankful for Jaws: The Revenge killing off this series once and for all; it’s the rare blockbuster franchise that has never been revived after its initial run. That gratitude should not extend to actually watching it, however.

Gripping, suspenseful and highly creative in its writing, Jaws the Revenge is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted and makes Spielberg's Jaws look like a worthless piece of shit.

Although its not needed or wanted at this point, it had potential to be a great closer to the series yet...they botched it. Somehow the beast managed to follow The Brody Family across the world which makes this more than personal, its dumb, why are sharks hunting down the Brody's? Are all these sharks related? Its a confusing pointless work of crap. The chase scene was bad, you can even see the rig connected to the shark at one point, like come on. It was poorly written and executed...lets not forget the ending which thet ruined. The actual releases include the ending where the boat explodes the shark when jabbing the side but on the TV version, its much different and actually is a lot better. This time it was personal...trying to kill the fans with how bad it is.

Full of fake effects, bad acting, having blatant lack of logic (how does the wife reminisce of things her husband did that she wasn't even present for other than the editors reminding you that you can always go back and watch the MUCH better first film?) and downright boring - I came to see a shark with a vendetta terrorize the Brody family, not a romantic comedy starring Michael Caine - the mercifully short Jaws: The Revenge deserves a much worse fate than a meagre Razzie.
