10 Awesome Horror Movie Villains With Stupid One Weakness

8. Jaws Can't Help But Foreshadow His Death

Steven Spielberg's Jaws defined the blockbuster for Hollywood upon its release in 1975. Between it and Star Wars, they created the big summer film that had audiences lined up around the block and, in modern times, pre-ordering tickets online to secure their seats opening night. Prior to Jaws, American cinema was filled with independent hits and artier high-end work from Roman Polanski and Francois Truffaut.

But ultimate, Jaws is just an animal, without rhyme or reason, indiscriminately picking off bathers (especially if they resemble a shark's favourite delicacy - the seal). He does, however, had a nasty habit of foreshadowing his own doom in each entry with the exception of the fourth. In the first, not only does Chief Brody see an image of a shark with a scuba tank in it's mouth, but it freely swims with one dangling out just waiting to be shoot.

Part two reveals early on that the lake is surrounded by underwater electrical lines, which the shark gladly tries to take a bite of. And in part three, he manages to kill a showoff pre-reality TV shark hunter, but not swallow him. Rather, he lets him dangle in his gullet, a grenade-filled hand dangling in reach of the main characters.

The fourth depends on which version you see, as both have him impaled by the mast of a boat, but whether he randomly explodes depends on the version you get. It's an anomaly.
