Seriously, how does Jake survive? The damn shark roars like the MGM Lion. I couldn't laugh as much as feel dismay. I'm going backwards through the Jaws quadrilogy. So I think it was actually a good thing I started with this The Revenge (1987). Interestingly, this film seems to ignore the third film completely. I plan to watch it not long after. I have already reviewed it last year, but if something rattles the cage, I might free it on the blog. Caine is a passenger in The Revenge. He was probably riding coach, but still Caine was thumbing the bills as they lent off that papery smell of green. The film hilariously posits the inclination that he was shark food. It even drags his plane into the water never to return. But, SURPRISE, he pops up out of the water all well and good, helping to try and steer a boat Gary's Ellen commandeered to go after Jaws. Jake rigs a gizmo that, when charged by Michael, will give Jaws a good jolt. It certainly pisses it off. No worries, Ellen will make damn sure to ram it head first with the boat...instead of just stabbing it, for whatever reason, Jaws goes KABOOM! You just kind of throw your hands up and say, WTF. Oh, but despite Jake literally getting caught in the mouth of Jaws and drug completely underwater for like minutes, he just emerges with some blood and a little worse for wear! Yeah, right!
Sooooo, everything is supposedly back to normal, right? So does Jaws' ghost decide to get even with the Brodys in the next sequel? It makes about as much sense as this shark pursuing the Brodys in revenge for its...what? Were they Jaws, Sr. and Jaws, Jr. and this was JawsIII?
