Our Score
This is the one where the big rubber shark gets to attack an aircraft, but that's far from being the only silly thing about this preposterous fourth entry in the series. Michael Caine makes the most of the summer weather in the Bahamas (the setting for most of the film) and delivers a cheerfully irrelevant cameo. But Lorraine Gary, the only link - apart from the shark - with the fine original, is annoyingly neurotic, while the plot - this time the shark gets personal - is laughably inept.

Summary

Ellen Brody, the widow of heroic police chief Martin Brody, travels to the Bahamas after her youngest son is killed by a great white shark. But as she is reunited with her surviving son, the predatory fish sets off in pursuit to wipe out the entire family. Thriller sequel, starring Michael Caine, Lorraine Gary, Lance Guest and Mario Van Peebles.
