Once again the peace of Amity and the lives of the Brody family are shattered by a bloodthirsty shark in Jaws: The Revenge. Lorraine Gary reprises her role as the now widowed Ellen Brody who finds herself reliving the horrors of the past when a mammoth shark kills her son. Grief-stricken, she travels to the Bahamas to be with her other son, a marine biologist (Lance Guest), and his family. There she meets and falls for a carefree airplane pilot (Michael Caine). Just as she is starting to put her life back together, the nightmare of the past returns when her granddaughter is attacked by an all-too-familiar great white shark. Determined to end the terror once and for all, Ellen sets out for a showdown to the death. (Universal Pictures UK)

Michael Caine didn’t deserve a role like this. Yet his presence is so impressive that it compels me to give the film one star. The rest is crap.

It's fascinating how the level of each episode drops quite evenly. I have the first one as 100%, the second at around 65, the third at 30, and the fourth is somewhere between 2.5 and 5. And that's really just for Michael Caine, performing perhaps the greatest miss by an acting legend in history. The avenging shark is, for a change, the highlight of the thematic craze of the 1980s.
