Description

🦈 “This time… It’s personal!”

We’re kicking off Life’s A Beach Month—our annual dive into the most outrageous, overlooked, and sun-soaked summer flicks out there! And what better way to start than with one of the wildest sequels of all time?

Henrique & David head to the Bahamas to take on JAWS: The Revenge (1987)—the fourth and final entry in the legendary shark saga. When Ellen Brody’s son is killed by a shark in Amity, she escapes to the islands… only to find the shark has followed her, bent on vengeance!

Directed by Joseph Sargent and starring Lorraine Gary, Lance Guest, and Mario Van Peebles, this film may have ended the franchise, but its sheer absurdity lives on.
