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.

Absolutely god awful. The only thing it has going for it is that the shark looks a little bit more realistic, and that's barely even present. Probably the worst move I've ever seen. I cant even fathom rewatching it. Do not waste your time watching this garbage.

They were right, its really bad. This offended me 15 minutes into the movie before I just gave up and stopped watching it altogether. Who in their right mind greenlit this? Not even Michael Caine could save this and neither can Lorraine Gary.
