Amazon.co.uk Review
One would think that after the aquatic horror of the previous three Jaws films the remnants of the beleaguered Brodie family would be happily nursing their hydrophobia somewhere in Kansas. However, in Jaws 4--The Revenge, we find that Ellen (Lorraine Gary) is still living on a tiny island and her eldest son Michael (Lance Guest) has become, of all things, a marine biologist. Even when yet another giant shark slaughters her younger son, all Ellen can do to take her mind off it is go to the Bahamas and gaze at the sea. There she embarks on a romantic affair with salty sea-pilot Hoagie (a nice turn from Michael Caine), but this peace is shattered as the shark begins to target her grandchildren and friends. Where this monster-with-a-grudge comes from, bearing in mind that the sharks in each of the previous films got blown up or electrocuted, is something of a conundrum. But logic is clearly not a concern in a script that demands only that this film should bear some tenuous relation to its predecessors. The ghost of the far-superior original looms large here--in the form of Ellen's flashbacks (which actually use footage from the earlier films), scenes that overtly refer to moments from the series (Michael's son mimics him at the dinner table, as Michael once did to his own father) and a set littered with conspicuously large photos of Roy Scheider. There are nice touches--Michael and his Jamaican partner Jake (Mario Van Peebles) fit the shark with a heart monitor which lets off an eerie blipping sound when it approaches, it is nice to see a romance between more "mature" characters portrayed so warmly and when the maternal Ellen forms the resolve to protect her family it even looks like she may briefly become a sort of geriatric Ripley character (à la Aliens). But with a shark that has never looked more rubbery, set pieces that lack suspense and invention and a short running time (only 86 minutes) it is hard to shake off the sensation that this is a made-for-TV film. Those wanting a dose of tongue-in-cheek killer-creature action would be better off avoiding this wet fish and taking in a Jaws rip-off with a little more bite, such as Deep Blue Sea or Deep Rising. --Paul Philpott

1.0 out of 5 stars The Revenge of the shark, 29 Sep 2004
By D. Evans "dantheman95" (Southport) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Jaw is widely held to be a classic film, and an early example of the summer blockbuster. With that music, and the three excellent lead performances. But as with Rocky, and the awful Police Academy films, to stretch the original idea to three further sequels, really was going too far. Roy Scheider, had wisely bailed out by this point. Instead we see the family, of his late character,Brody,being terrorised by a relation of, believe it or not, the original shark. Who said fish only have three second memories. The lack of credibility in this storyline, makes this film a no, no. Michael Caine, has often been asked why he sacrificed his artistic integrity to appear in such a clanger of a film, in his biography he answers the question, it was too buy himself a large house. At least he did not say that he thought the script was the best he had ever read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable but massively flawed B-Movie, 5 Nov 2002
By A Customer
Taken in the spirit of those 50's giant insect B-Movies, Jaws 4 is actually quite enjoyable - just don't confuse it with a proper film, with plausible plots and well-scripted dialogue. The central premise of the film is absurd and unbelievable - a shark is annoyed that the Brody family has been killing other great white sharks, so it decides to eat members of the Brody family, following them to the Bahamas (somehow, not only does it know that it was Brodys that killed sharks in the previous films, it can recognise individual members of the family, and even knows when they're going to be flying to the Bahamas, and gets there ahead of them), so it's important to accept this and just enjoy Michael Caine's cameo as Hoagie (an avuncular rogue similar to his character in Educting Rita, whose name escapes me), and the fact that you're watching a film about a big fish that eats people. Obviously there are no scenes to match Quint's monologue about the "Hiroshima bumb" in the first film, or shocks like the head in the boat, but for dumb thrills it's perfectly adequate.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better than 3 but still not very good, 14 Dec 2003
This review is from: Jaws 4 - The Revenge [VHS] [1987] (VHS Tape)
Lorraine gary reprices her role from jaws 1 and 2 as widow Ellen brody who suffers from her son Sean dying in a shark attack, now she wants her other son (Michael) to stay away from the water.
But Michael doesn't think a shark would come to the bahamas, but he's wrong.
You should still stay away from this film.
The way the shark dies on this is terribly stupid, more stupid than the way the shark dies on number 3.
Like on my jaws 3 review, just stay with the first 2 films.
