Siskel & Ebert Jaws The Revenge (1987) Review

[@Dylan98654]

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theater...

[@1f5sda]

Better tagline than "This Time It's Personal!"

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

"just when you thought the shark was out they pulled him back in" ~doing my best michael corleone imitation

[@1f5sda]

Good one!

[@Decetop]

Trev Mac hahaha that’s pretty good, man.

[@yveltalpoderoso1303]

That didn’t age well

[@StevieG1103]

Siskel and Ebert were more entertaining than a lot of the movies they reviewed. They were smart, insightful and hilarious. I'll never get tired of watching these clips. R.I.P. Roger and Gene.

[@bryansarracino8623]

Stevie G man you said it. I miss them

[@Kruppt808]

The last critics about anything that Americans really cared about what they thought. Yes they obviously were wrong and very wrong about some great movies but they always entertained and educated us in why we love movies

[@mst3KGf]

Another hilarious gaffe about this movie that S&E don't mention; at the climax, the shark roars like a dinosaur when it rears out of the water. Michael Caine put it best on why he did this movie: "I haven't seen it, as I hear it's terrible. However, I have seen the house it paid for and it is spectacular."

[@rosario508]

Yeah. The shark had a roar in Jaws 3 as well.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

ahhh possibly because the shark was half lion ,you dum dums ever think of that? Well have you?

[@sha11235]

+mst3KGf What is sad is that he had to turn down going to the Oscars and receive his first Supporting Actor Oscar because he was filming this garbage. I think he was scared that if he left, he wouldn't come back.

[@davidsavage5630]

@db happiness Having flashbacks that are OTHER PEOPLE'S MEMORIES! 🤯

[@CaptainSpalding72]

Ebert mentions it in his written review.

[@James-Ram]

"I hate when that happens! A dream sequence!" "I mean want to go and punch a hole in the screen" "A friend of the other shark" "You see, by having this gimmick, that means, that even though this one dies, she still was gonna stay living in that stupid town, instead of moving to the middle west where she should be - away from sharks!" Hahahahaha! I loved it when Siskel really went off on a film he hated

[@JamesOhGoodie]

Ebert was wittier, but Siskel is more visceral.

[@mrnocal]

@@JamesOhGoodie That's what made them such a great team IMO. That contrast made it more real.

[@ChucksCherubs3]

And 34 years later, they're STILL doing dream sequences! Oh well, at least they've stopped making those JAWS sequels... for now.

[@eddieyyy3]

“What shark is this?!” “A friend of the other sharks” 😂😂😂

[@kali3665]

Where Roy Scheider said, "Satan himself couldn't get me to do Jaws 4!" And Michael Caine said, "Just make sure the check clears, okay?"

[@Raarrow]

Roy said that about Jaws 3. He just gave them a straight “no” for #4, even with the high salary and the short appearance. Heck, he didn’t even want to do the second one.

[@kali3665]

One of the underwater scenes, you can see the track that the shark is being rolled on.

I wish I was in the theater when Roger yelled out “his shirt is dry!!”

[@027220]

The "His shirt is dry." line was appreciated by the preview audience.

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

Urp urp urp urp 😂

[@docthemetalfreak]

they forgot to mention the infamous shark roar scene

[@rosario508]

The shark had a roar in Jaws 3D as well.

[@connorbrennan4233]

And it did in the original, although it was much more subtle.

[@PungiFungi]

Connor Brennan, the original was so good that people let that slide. Then again, the roaring is the least of the movie's problems.

[@cineMADvocate]

I love how Gene is like George Costanza, all proud of his one liner during the movie. “That’s GOTTA hurt!”

[@Kruppt808]

Look at that guy with one of those laser pointers.... he's so funny😂😂😂

[@blaketindle4703]

“Now if you want to be a film critic you’re gonna have to watch movies like THIS.”

[@cliffslatterly2893]

One of the funniest reviews they've ever done. Great stuff.

[@Templars1005]

Their back and forth is perfect lol. Sarcasm and genuine feeling of "getting hit in the face by a wet fish" to the max. Love it.

[@benhammel9886]

The only true sequel was the second one.

[@benhammel9886]

***** Compared to the first one yeah. But the second one is not as bad as the rest, in my opinion.

[@benhammel9886]

***** Ha. It must have been the 3D. For a kid, watching a severed arm float in front of your face must have been pretty cool. Plus the 20 foot shark!

[@StevieG1103]

Gene was right..."all the sequels were trash".

[@CelestialWoodway]

The First film I saw in the series was Jaws 2 as a kid and I was extremely disappointed. I didn't get all the hype for Jaws until I saw the original.

[@blacbraun]

Jaws 2 was just as shit as all the other sequels. Only the original was good.

[@EternalHennessy]

Jaws 4 People 0

[@Maniac1607]

Believe it or not, the producers for part 3 were thinking of calling it "Jaws 3, People Zero" and making it a "Naked Gun"-style parody.

[@connorbrennan4233]

That would have been infinitely more interesting than the sh*t we got after Jaws 2.

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

Nah let’s call it Jaws 3 People 0 considering it ignores 3D.

[@Scar2401]

"what is this shark? a cousin? a nephew? a nextdoor neighbor? XD

[@rogerpuzzitiello]

I think this is my favorite review of theirs, it always finds a way to make me laugh.

[@grkpektis]

How the fuck did the shark even know they were going to the Bahamas? Did the Shark bug their house? That makes as much sense as anything else in this shitty movie

[@jakwiq]

Bwahaha I'm dead

[@durden2480]

Saw this in theater when I was 7. People walked out

[@GreatWestern175]

[@chriszweig8219]

"The first film was thrilling and well acted. The rest have been trash." LOL!!

Michael Caine would take any role that was given to him.

[@strawdawgs78]

He did it for a ruby the size of a tangerine.

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

Caine was going to make SWITCHING CHANNELS afterward, but the studio insisted on his returning for retakes and Burt Reynolds replaced him.

[@CelestialWoodway]

He says he grew up poor and could never turn down a good paying job.

[@michaelfeeney6108]

I heard he was given a few scripts to choose from and picked this because it was filming in the Bahamas. I love that he missed accepting his Oscar to film this movie 😂

[@anaximander66]

Man I miss these two guys! It's like part of my past died with them.

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

The very best Siskel & Ebert reviews are when they have to watch and review a terrible picture. They seem genuinely upset that they were forced to watch that drivel.

[@alexnaoum88]

I'm sure it's been said before, but I'll say it again - perfect thumbnail for this video.

[@bingdiddley]

Michael Caine was once asked if he had ever actually seen Jaws: The Revenge. He replied, "No, but I've seen the house it bought."

[@l.salisbury1253]

"Let's have a film festival. The theme could be Movies that killed their franchise: Jaws 4, Indiana Jones 4, Dead Devil 1...!" -Raj

I miss them both and always wonder what they would say about every new film that comes out.

[@blaketindle4703]

“And here we have yet ANOTHER superhero movie!”

[@alucard624]

I never much cared for Siskel and Ebert's reviews on movies, but this one was actually pretty funny, especially the bit with Siskel at 1:09. That was good.

[@TheLowBrassDude]

I think this is my favorite bad movie ever.

[@starkill3r966]

Better than The Room?

[@TheLowBrassDude]

Good question

[@starkill3r966]

also it's better than Birdemic

[@rhyancoleman6462]

We both hated Jaws the Revenge and can't believe that this is a film that Michael Caine stayed on location for instead of picking up his Oscar in Hollywood for Hannah and Her Sisters.

[@wishingwell5954]

Thanks for sharing this! This is one of the few Siskel and Ebert clips I saw as a kid that seemed to stick in my memory.

[@jayNicks10]

interesting enough, the final confrontation is full of logical errors. Caine's shirt is dry when he gets out of the water, The shark blows up when the boat touches him, Jake somehow survives. When I saw it on TV recently, all of those things were fixed/changed. Caine is wet throughout the scene, the shark gets stabbed by the boat, and Jake does not survive. however, the shark still roars and stands up above the water basically saying, "here, stab me right now." such a stupid movie, that I can actually bear to sit through. hell, I sat through all of them when they were playing back to back to back to back on ion TV. That's when it became hilariously obvious how dramatically downhill the movie series went as time went on and they made more Jaws movies. heck, they made all kinds of ridiculous shark movies. Deep Blue Sea: pretentious, shark attacks look SOOOOO FAKE. Red Water: forgettable, not much to it, mediocre acting. Spring Break Shark Attack: So many stupid plots and characters I didn't care for. Open Water: Very Disappointing Shark Nato: Need I even say how ridiculous Megaladon: Unintentionally hilarious.

[@cHeStEr5434]

Deep Blue Sea is actually a pretty solid, well paced and entertaining mid-budget action flick with a surprising amount of edge. It’s kinda like Jurassic Park but with super sharks. Sure, some of the CG doesn’t hold up as well now but those animatronic shark models are incredible!!

[@Brickmaster4496]

Jaws: The Revenge should've at least gone straight to video.

[@tthomaselli2]

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theatres...".; Classic!

[@johnreese3797]

I'm surprised they didn't make a Jaws V where she does move to the Midwest like Chicago thinking it would be safe but then the shark stalks her by swimming all the way to lake Lake Michigan.

[@MyBetty111]

Hard to believe that Siskel is dead. Incredible! What can't life go on...forever?!

[@1andonlyzara]

"I hope this is the end of the Jaws series." Don't worry, Gene. It is.

[@batsvsjoke123]

if siskel had survived past 99, he clearly would have hated halloween 2, the first 20 odd minutes is a dream sequence!

[@1f5sda]

It would be nice if both critics were still alive.

[@HugoJunstrand]

Oh, Roger Ebert. You left too soon. :(

[@alexnaoum88]

[@coath514]

not to mention Michael caines name is Hoagie. awesome

[@tatumgammon6171]

Why anyone paid money to see this, is really beyond me?

[@ignoranceandwant]

I admit I wanted to see it when it first came out...I was ten when it was released and thought the shark would look cool on the big screen. My dad refused to take me because the reviews were so bad (though he DID take me to see Police Academy 5 the next year); he was right.

[@tatumgammon6171]

Hollywood makes movies just to make money, not to make good movies.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

i paid money to see "The attack of the killer tomatoes"

[@tatumgammon6171]

Really?

[@CJODell12]

I honestly don't know either, because if you compare the first film to the fourth film, the latter grossed an embarrassing 92 percent less and sold a humiliating 96 percent fewer tickets. Here's the overview of the declining history of the Jaws movies: * Jaws (1975) made $260 million domestically, which equates to 128.1 million tickets at an average movie ticket price of $2.05. * Jaws 2 (1978) earned $77.7 million in North America, which equals to 33.2 million tickets at an average ticket price of $2.34. * Jaws 3-D grossed $45.5 million in the United States, which is the equivalent of 14.4 million tickets sold at an average price of $3.15. * Jaws the Revenge saw a gross of $20.8 million domestic, which equals 5.3 million tickets sold at an average ticket price of $3.91. So in grosses, the second film grossed 70 percent less than the first film, the third grossed 41 percent less than the second, and the fourth grossed 54 percent less than the third. And in tickets sold, the second film sold 74 percent less tickets than the first film, the third sold 56 percent less tickets than the second, and the fourth sold 63 percent less tickets than the third.

[@TheDylandProductions]

@SamhainTheDark I'm still waiting for Jaws 19, set to release 2015...

[@Maniac1607]

Hey Bergalini, you forgot to add, "And the shark will be there in three days."

[@Unknown-bq9id]

Roy Scheider was offered money to be killed off at the beginning instead of Sean, but he flat-out REFUSED to ruin his character... Like Michael Caine's comment about why he did the movie; BTW, the dry clothes were because they'd taken so long between scenes that his clothes had dried, and he decided not to tell anyone...

[@cliffordshafran9250]

But the filmakers didn't refuse to ruin the character. During the film, Ellen pointed out that her husband died of a fear of sharks. I can't think of a dumber plot device! A badass sheriff who killed 2 sharks in the first two movies died of a fear of them? Talk about the filmakers not having a clue! Scheider's estate should sue!

[@jrunberg]

I have to agree with Siskel & Ebert on this one, this movie is straight garbage.

[@tthomaselli2]

"I'm gonna get me a Brodie if it's the last thing I do...".; Classic!

[@mattjones5140]

I remember watching this movie in 5 grade thinking that just the title was stupid that the shark wanted revenge. This is the fourth new shark.lol This whole movie is bad even the ending in how the shark died was garbage.

[@dbreiden83080]

@jennaE36 Spot on.. Universal basically decided to turn the Jaws movies into reasonably budgeted monster flicks after the original. They saw a chance to budget them for around 20 mil and if they made 80-100 mil worldwide that was enough money to keep making them.. They treated them almost like low budget horror movies..

[@MrRandomname010101]

I love how the thumbnail for this clip looks like Siskel crying

[@lamecasuelas2]

[@brodieyake7735]

To answer Roger's inquiry at the end of the review regarding what relation this shark has to the previous sharks in the franchise, there is actually an honest to God answer, believe it or not. In the novelization of the film written by Hank Searls, he reveals that the shark is the offspring of the sharks from the first two Jaws movies. The shark in Jaws 2 is its mother, and it was born at the end of Jaws 2 while that shark was being electrocuted at the end of the film. The shark in Jaws: The Revenge is named Vengeance, and it's taking revenge on the Brody family for killing its parents. Everything you just read is true.

[@OfThisNot]

Sharks: "I'm going to get me a Brodie if it's the last thing I do". LOL

[@Necrow_Productions]

I have been catching up on Siskel & Ebert and one thing I always find weird is how Siskel tends to make his reviews personal by going after the private lives of actors he does not like.

[@sporedoutofmymind]

I actually thought Siskel was hanging by a noose in the thumbnail and figured it would explain just how badly he hated this movie.

[@CelticJobber2]

I hate dream sequences too. I was surprised Inception was such a big hit, considering it was basically one dream sequence after another.

there shouldn't have even been a second jaws film being that the fucking shark died in the first movie, another example of milking a blockbuster, and the fact that they made a fourth and didn't just call it a trilogy is beyond me.

How did this get made brought me here. Hilarious review

[@Elfrunner]

The title Inception says it all. That's what the movie was about. A dream caper to plant an idea in a man's head. Normally, Leo DiCaprio and his team were about extracting information from people. First dream was Ken Watanabe's and it was an audition for the inception mission that would come later. Dreams that came after were for training purposes or flashbacks. The final dream sequence was Cillian Murphy's, the man they were trying to give the idea to. Not hard to figure out.

Michael Caine looks dry getting out of the water, so does the shark. You can tell the shark had been sitting out of the water between takes. It looks bone dry when it's attacking in several shots.
