10 Most Insulting Movie Sequels Ever

Jaws was always going to be an impossible act to follow, but Jaws 2 was a passable effort which saw much of the original cast return, if not superstar director Steven Spielberg. The auteur wouldn’t go on to shoot a sequel until 1997’s Jurassic Park follow-up, The Lost World, and watching the decline of his killer shark series, it’s easy to guess why.

Jaws: The Revenge opts for a bizarre twist as its villainous shark is revealed to be hunting down the Brody family for their crimes against shark-kind. The revelation leads viewers to wonder why this family would opt for beachside vacations after their many seaside misfortunes, but luckily, it’s not the silliest thing in the film.

No, that dubious honour goes to the infamous roaring shark—perhaps the filmmakers thought the hilariously inept model work would be less obvious with the distraction of a suddenly vocal killer fish. Add a miscast Michael Caine into the mix and its impossible not to laugh at this flop of a four-quel.
