* NumberedSequels: Averted here, after ''Jaws 2'' and ''Jaws 3D''.
* ReferenceOverdosed: ''Revenge'' is laden with none-too-subtle references to the original ''Jaws'':
** Most egregiously, Ellen has brown-tinted flashbacks of events from ''Jaws'', including one of Brody killing the first shark (which she did not even witness). While at the dinner table, Michael's daughter Thea mimics his hand gestures, identical to a scene between Martin and Sean in the original movie, complete with a flashback to said scene.
** Brody's elder son grew up to become a marine biologist. Brody's younger son became Amity's Chief of Police. There is a picture of Martin Brody on the wall of Sean's office and he even has a secretary called Polly.
** Sean's death in the opening scene of ''Revenge'' is reminiscent of Chrissie's in the opening scene of ''Jaws''.
** Lee Fierro (Mrs Kintner) and Fritzi Jane Courtney (Mrs Taft) make cameo appearances.
** Hoagie, Ellen, Michael and Jake paddle back to shore on a piece of wreckage, a la Brody and Hooper.
** ''Revenge'' even borrows a shot of Bruce the shark's dismembered body sinking after his demise.

* FocusGroupEnding: [[spoiler:The original theatrical ending had Jake be eaten by the shark and the shark killed by impalement on the boat's prow. However, test audiences were very disturbed by Jake's death, so he (somehow) survives. They also changed the shark's death to [[MadeOfExplodium massively exploding for no reason whatsoever when it's impaled.]] The former is ridiculous, but WordOfGod has it that while the studio demanded changes, they didn't give production appropriate money to re-shoot. (The original intent was the shark to be impaled, die and sink - taking much of the boat with it.)]]

!!This film has the examples of:

* AttackOfTheTownFestival: Sean's death is set against the backdrop of the Christmas celebration.
* {{Callback}}: Thea mimicking her pondering father's gestures is a callback to a similar moment in the first film.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Sean Brody. Though it could have been worse, as the original script had ''Martin'' dying to serve as a launchpad for his wife's sunny Caribbean adventure, with even her burgeoning romance with Michael Caine intact. Thankfully, Roy Scheider refused to desecrate his character so much.
** Though they still did it anyway--when her surviving son reminds her that Martin died of a heart attack, Ellen claims that "the fear of it killed him!", implying that the repeated encounters with sharks led to Martin's death.
