I always wondered why there were two endings, with one only ever having shown up on broadcast television. Why the hell would the TV version have a different ending? It had nothing to do with censorship. I like to think the station was sent the early draft of the movie by accident.

Jaws: masterpiece. One of the greatest movies of all time.

Jaws 2: pretty bad attempt at recreating the original. Also has a weird slasher flick vibe to it at the end with the teenagers. The whole 'is Brody going crazy?' Plot is really dumb and bad. Shark dies in an awesome way.

Jaws 3: bad but in a fun way. Probably better in 3D.

Jaws 4: one of the worst movies of all time. Dumb nonsensical plot trying to be an unironic serious film.

I'm rank them 1, 3, 2, and 4. 3 is a fun popcorn flick that knows what it is, but 2 is actually worse than a lot of people think for trying to capture the same spirit of the first film but failing miserably. It's more disappointing than it is bad. 4 is just terrible though, it's not even a 'so bad it's good' kind of bad. That's 3

I thought Jaws 2 was actually an OK movie for a long time but watched it again about five years ago and yeah, it's pretty bad. Entertainingly so though.

It's an amazing film.

I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as when the shark lifts its head out of the water and roars.

I've only ever seen the first Jaws and not since I was a kid and I see that this has Michael Caine in it and he's fantastic so is it any good and should I watch it?

Here's the ending i.e. the only part you should watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqiWWmAEfTA

It has NOTHING on the baby fetus scene from Orca: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvL7Lx_NORo (seriously everyone watch this, it's gold)


If you want to watch some fun aquatic horror than try Piranha and then Piranha 2: The Spawning, which features piranha/flying fish chimeras

drat I forgot all about orca, remember watching that as a kid. Isn't there also a jaws ripoff movie with a giant squid or something?

Yup: Tentacles, also the Beast but I'm thinking tentacles

I thought the term was latchkey kid (I was a latchkey kid).

It's weird; I remember loving Jaws 4 when I was a kid because the Bahamas looked pretty and stuff. Was it really that bad or is it one of those movies that's popular to be butthurt about?

I'll say, your parents couldn't even neglect you by the proper name.

Jaws 4 is hilarious. They made the shark have a grudge (apparently in the novelization it was a voodoo curse. Dead serious) and somehow swim as fast as an airplane to the Bahamas.

I like the beginning where the son gets his arm bitten off but doesn't realize it for a bit.

Everything I say draws controversy. It's kinda like the abortion issue.

I think Spielberg has admitted that Jaws is basically a ripoff of Orca(same plot with a killer whale.) I recently watched all of the movies during a tv marathon and your reviews are pretty accurate. Jaws 4 sucks and is easily the worst out of the series. It is slow, boring, and the plot makes no sense. I don't even understand the it's so bad it's good thing, the movie just sucks. Watch it and review OP.

That's actually true,mtv stations got the wrong version with some demo footage at the end which looks really out of place

I'm guessing he's talking about Jaws 4 since it was a revenge story.

Jaws (the novel) came out in 74. I was at my in-laws a few years ago and they had the book lying around. I started to read it and it was actually pretty good. I just haven't gotten around to getting my own copy.

It's ok, there's a really weird sub-plot where the Mayor from the movie doesn't want to lose tourist money because the mafia owns half the town. Also, Hooper bangs Brody's wife.

On another subject if one believes Joe Hill Jaws is part of a murder mystery.
