A Deadly new Attraction! The most famous shark of all time is back... bigger and more terrifying than ever in Jaws 3. Everyone at Florida’s Sea World is thrilled with the new “Undersea Kingdom”, a maze of underwater plexiglass tunnels that permits visitors to get closer to marine life than ever before. The opening ceremonies include many important guests... and one uninvited baby shark who accidentally enters the park’s lagoon through a faulty sea gate and subsequently dies. The young shark’s 35-foot mother soon follows her offspring, creating the most horrifying tale of terror ever filmed in the water. Directed by Joe Alves, the original Jaws designer, and co-written by Carl Gottlieb who penned the first two blockbusters, this action-packed adventure will have you screaming for your life.

Let's face it, Jaws 3 is a piece of crap without a shred of logic and a total lack of respect for the qualities of the original horror film. Apparently, director Joe Alves was convinced that a meeting with the good-old killer would make him a lot of money, so he didn't hesitate, procured a few litres of ketchup and concocted something resembling a big toothy fish, which he then set into frantic motion with the help of the ingenious effects of the time. I really don't understand how he managed to get actors of the quality of Quaid and Gossett. At least it was funny.

You’re nearing the bottom of the keg of beer, Jaws 3-D is starting, and you don’t want to sleep. Overall, a truly shitty situation. Probably the first movie with 3-D in its title, only it really does not include any 3-D. Except for the shot of the bitten off hand. It was so drastic it almost fell through to my living room.
