He also directed the Anthology movie nightmares with Emilio Estevez and it's starring Lorraine Gray and she was involved course Jaws 1 and 2 Lance guest is in this iconic 80s actor He was in Halloween 2 and he's also in the kind of cult classic The Last Starfighter Mario van Peebles is in this as well as the Legend Michael Cain's right. Yeah, the movie starts off Martin Brody has died of a heart attack his son Sean is a deputy in the police force in Amity, New York Amityville, New York funny There's a lot of bad luck in this town So Sean he gets dispatched to Dislodge a log that's been caught on a buoy in the harbor this big rush comes up and Shutting all these waves, and he leans back and his arm is gone. It's like all these strips I like how it takes him a second There's carolers that are caroling on the on the shore nobody can hear his calls for helpers screams The mother Ellen Incredibly grief-strickened by this loss. We learned that Michael is the older brother of Sean He's a marine biologist to get the mother's mind off of all this sorrow and grief and everything and to kind of just Get her away. They go on a trip to the Bahamas We meet Michael Cain's character, and he's the pilot Michael Cain is all fucking around at the plane, too He's all oh they're all going down and I'd hate that yeah fucking around On his lap We get introduced to Mario van Peebles character Jake Michael's partner and marine biologists And they're studying these conch shells on the ocean floor. That's real interesting stuff Shells while they're conducting their research one day the fucking shark shows up Chewing on the boat How the fuck did the shark get from New York? Yeah, all the way to the Bahamas in like a few days very timely How do you know that they were going there? Yeah in the first place How did it get there and how did it find them in the Bahamas? Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty fucking lucky That's one psychic fucking shark Jake wants to kind of put the shells aside and start studying the great white because There's never ever been a great white in the Bahamas Michael is a little apprehensive because of his whole family history with the shark But he kind of like reluctantly says okay. Don't tell mom Don't tell mom in the meantime Michael's wife is like working on some sculpture in the garage Very sharp dangerous looking sculpture where she plans to put on the beach With a lot of young children around Goes right through some stupid sex scene in the garage or you can see there's all these people like right outside On this dirty floor this dirty like greasy. They didn't even close the door. No Yeah, Jesus Michael has gone back to researching his precious shells And then the great white attacks him he finds a wreckage of this old ship on the ocean floor and he Swims through it and the sharks all suddenly Shrunking in size to fit through Old wreck now Michael is starting to get really freaked out because now the sharks playing on his mind one day The family goes to the beach who decides to show up the great white eating people Grandma starts like freaking out.

Everything turns out okay for them Not for other people and the kids okay, but grandma freaks out She's got to loses her mind and steal some boat to go after the great white What her plan is and what she's gonna do with this boat. I have no fucking clue. Yeah yell at it Point your finger. Don't you do that again fucking shark? Jake and Michael and Michael Cain's character all take a plane out to go and try to find mom And that's we're gonna end the plot line if you haven't seen Jaws 4 keep watching the movie to find out What happens so this movie? It got shit on a lot Yeah, right when it first was released and still does and still does yeah I can kind of see you know a little bit of criticism, right? But not so heavily It's not that bad of a movie and that's why we're kind of mentioning it because I don't think it deserves the massive Load of shit that got dumped on it really exactly because when you strip it down to its bare essentials Really the cast is very good the actors are very good. Yeah, the character development is great And it's kind of realistic to you because they use the sort of the ptsd Side of things in the movie. Yeah, how it's affecting the characters the cinematography in this movie is actually pretty damn beautiful Yeah, beautiful shots of not only the Bahamas, but even like the shots in New York are very nice of the harbor and everything It's yeah, it's a good looking movie. Yeah, besides the shark the sharks a little tacky, but in a fun way Exactly, it's pretty rubbery, but it's coming you see it you laugh you don't cringe, but you laugh Yeah, and it's not awful though either, right? It's like right on the line kind of they use the ptsd stuff to Add more horror into the film, right? Yeah, because not much happens really and so they they need to sort of fill The gaps right it's not really a horror movie as such because there's not much suspense And that's where I think the movie suffers a bit. It's all plot and story and character building You look at it as not a horror, but more as like a Drama or something. It's actually a better movie. Right. Yeah, you're not criticizing it in that light Yeah, exactly another kind of smart thing that they did with this movie was that they Used a lot of the camera work quick shots. Yeah, yeah to like show the shark without actually seeing the show Yeah, yeah seeing this the damage the shark is done in kind of a POV thing Mm-hmm, but not the shark itself because the shark's kind of tacky looking Yeah, so the less you show it almost the better exactly Jakey stabs the shark with the homing device and then the shark disappears But now they got you can see on the screen those blips when the blips get louder and faster You know that the shark is there the shark is funny too actually at the end I'm not really giving too much away, but the shark starts make all these dinosaur noises The kills in this movie there's not tons of them again, but they're pretty funny Like whenever the shark shows up and eat somebody you're laughing Exactly It's enjoyable. Yeah, it's an enjoyable movie. It's not like Yeah It's like you laugh out loud and you like the characters and you kind of enjoy the ride exactly yeah And the pacing helps with that too because even though not a whole lot happens in the movie The pacing is done just right. Yeah, you're not bored or anything Yeah, just keeps you wanting to watch more So we'll leave you with that if you haven't watched Jaws 4 because you know that it got a lot of bad reviews and people say don't watch it It's awful. It's horrible the worst sequel ever Rethink it and give it a shot probably say you'll at least enjoy the ride and enjoy the kills Yeah, and have a few laughs along the way. Yeah, they'll definitely be something you'll enjoy about it Yeah, until then keep drinking in the Bahamas You
