Jaws: The Revenge
1987 film by Joseph Sargent · Released July 17, 1987
Jaws: The Revenge is a 1987 American thriller film produced and directed by Joseph Sargent. The fourth and final film in the Jaws franchise, it stars Lorraine Gary, who came out of retirement to reprise her role from the first two films, along with new cast members Lance Guest, Mario Van Peebles, Karen Young and Michael Caine. Acting as a direct sequel to Jaws 2 (retroactively ignoring the events of Jaws 3-D), the film focuses on a now-widowed Ellen Brody (Gary) and her conviction that a great white shark is seeking revenge on her family, particularly when it kills her younger son Sean, and follows her to the Bahamas. The film was made in less than nine months, with production commencing in September 1986 so that the film could be released the following summer.
