You Killed A Shark’s Wife

Jaws: The Revenge never really makes it all that clear why the shark is taking revenge. Presumably it’s a relative of the shark from the first Jaws film. Maybe it’s the husband of the shark from Jaws, which would make this the Death Wish of shark movies.

Then again, as the shark somehow manages to track his victims (yes, the shark is stalking one specific family here, which doesn’t make for a particularly varied diet) from the coast of Maine to the Bahamas in a mater of days (that’s a distance of 2000 miles), this doesn’t seem to be a film that cares much at all about making any kind of sense.

Which might explain why this particular shark is on a literal roaring rampage of revenge, despite sharks can roar in this movie for no fathomable reason.
