Siskel and Ebert || Jaws The Revenge

[@BodaciousBob66]

They killed off Chief Brody by saying he had a heart attack and implied that he died of a fear of sharks. What a slap in the face. The man blew up a shark and then electrocuted one. He was a badass.

[@rustykuntz94]

I WAS THINKING the same thing! A total slap in the face to Roy Scheider. Why? Because he was smart enough to not take the $$$ and make another terrible Jaws remake? This is possibly one of the top 5 WORST films ever.

[@jmjfanss]

@@rustykuntz94 i'm with you, this movie was a total disaster and the end of the jaws movie franchise just like the knight rider tv franchise, it truly died in 2008-09 with that idiotic knight rider tv series reboot, A total slap in the faces to david hasselhoff, william daniels, Patricia mcpherson, The Late Edward mulhaure and others (he is rolling in his grave as we speak) Why? Because they were smart enough to not take the $$$ and make another terrible knight rider reboot, This is possibly one of the worst tv shows of all time.

That's why their should have been only Jaws and Jaws 2.

[@GreatWestern175]

As Doug Walker put it, he had more balls than any of us would to kill off sharks twice in two movies

[@steves4533]

All the family had to do was just move in land and quit going out on the water. But no. Instead of going to Colorado, Mrs Brody goes to the Carribbean.

I love Michael Caine's remark about this movie: "No I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen the house it bought and it's lovely."

[@gspendlove]

In the novelization, a voodoo priest has placed a curse on the Brodys and that's why the shark is after them. That seems to make a _little_ bit of sense. But it still doesn't explain why the Brodys don't just move to Iowa, like Gene suggested.

[@kevindavis296]

I read the novel too, a witch doctor is responsible, mostly he hates Micheal Brody for insulting his voodoo techniques.

This was one of those times where ONE THING fucks up the WHOLE movie lol... In the novel (and possibly original script?) an old witch cast a curse (I think the Brody's had something to do with her losing her home some how) on the family and THAT'S why the shark comes after her (them). It's dumb, yes, but it changes the movie completely (doesn't make it much better but it helps as your watching it). Like in IT - at the end with the spider - well, if Jack Tripper or Venus Flytrap or Harold T Stone (RIP) or Lana Lang had just SAID (to the audience) that ''It's a spider and spider's lay many eggs...IT's going to lay eggs and feed on us all blah blah..."

The "logical error" Roger Ebert speaks of is not native to Jaws: The Revenge. It is glaringly erroneous during the pond scene in the first film of the franchise. Michael is practically looking up at the sky when the shark swims by him.

[@RobertApel]

I suppose that "Jaws: The Revenge" was on the whole a Huge Logical Error!' Michael Caine's Hoagie character was my favorite character, however. He had some funny one-liners. The little girl, Thea did well. The mechanical shark belongs in the "Jaws Ride" or the tram tour at Universal Studios. Hilarious that the shark followed the Brody family all the way from Amity Island all the way to The Bahamas. He did look exhausted after that long journey; Ha! Ha! The psychic connection that Ellen Brody had with the shark was preposterous, but amusing 😅. In the end, it was like Gene Siskel said that Ellen Brody will continue to live in Amity Island all the rest of her days, rather than anywhere in America, away from sharks😂. "Jaws: The Revenge* is a Classic that should be on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" or "Riff-Trax."😂😅😊

Roy Scheider wanted nothing to do with Jaws after the first one. He was forced into the second one because of a contractual obligation and made life miserable for the director. Later he signed on to star in Blue Thunder primarily so he would have an excuse not to appear in the third one. By the time they made this one they probably didn't even bother asking him to come back.

That one that said, "let's hope this is the last of the Jaws movies" is a tit. It's like he's bad-mouthing Jaws and Jaws 2 because Jaws 3-D did okay and Jaws The Revenge did so badly. Jaws 2 is a good sequel, however, the fact remains Jaws is always one of the best movies ever made. Carl Gottlieb told me years ago there would be no more Jaws movies because of the flop of Jaws The Revenge. It's sad that things are that way because all it needs is a good script writer, good actors and also known actors, not new faces where they are all overdoing it the way they do in the recent horror movies where those new actors are try-hards trying to make a big name for themselves, I mean known actors and with the special effects with a much higher budget, a Jaws 5 would be good. It's a shame Jaws The Revenge ended the Jaws movies.

[@mikeberry2332]
