1987 - JAWS THE REVENGE aka Jaws 4

Jaws The Revenge is what happens when a good director, in the case Joseph Sargent goes horribly wrong.

Clearly made at the insistence of the studio in order to squeeze every last dollar out of the giant man eating shark franchise.  The film is enjoyable in a stupid sort of way.  The whole premise that the giant shark is on a mission of revenge against the Brody Family from the first film is to ridiculous to be believed.  

As one critic put it, if a giant shark is trying to eat all the members of your family, maybe you should move to North Dakota.

 

The film runs 90 minutes.  Michael de Guzman wrote this film but he should probably leave it off his resume.  The damn thing did make money apparently.
