History Film / JawsTheRevenge

* AllThereInTheManual: The novelization of the film based on the original script by Hank Searls included many scenes and sub plots that ultimately got removed. Some of the excised material includes: The discovery of Sean Brody's body by AMITY PD, Thea being hypnotized and almost wandering into the water at night where the shark waits, The death of a wind surfer, a humorous scene involving a drunken retired newscaster and the shark, a drive by shooting where the Brodys are nearly injured, and a foot pursuit. Mike's secrecy of the shark takes a strain on his marriage, and he also retains a monitoring device in the bedroom. When Carla has her unveiling, Mike goes to a bar and he and Carla Argue, she then mentions that she shut off the monitoring device (not knowing what it does) because she believed Mike needed sleep. It's only then they realize Thea may be in danger on the banana boat. Deleted characters include an island gangster who befriends Ellen Brody who is ultimately killed by the shark, Hoagie's law enforcement partner, and Papa Jacques a voodoo doctor. In the novel, Papa Jacques is a local man who the islanders turn for advice and guidance. Mike Brody does not like him has he believe he exploits the islanders, including his assistants. After an altercation with Mike Brody, Papa Jacques summons the Shark to do his bidding. He also has Thea's pail stolen so he can curse it, this is what leads to the Thea walking outside towards the water in a zombie like trance. Several segments also take place from the shark's point of view and it's revealed that the shark is actually a pawn and can't understand the force driving it where it needs to go.

** At the end the shark helpfully sticks it's torso way the hell out of the water so Ellen can impale it with the prow, the implication being it's standing on it's tail like a dolphin. Even small sharks can't do that, let alone 25 foot great whites.

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: According the the official title card and posters the film is actually named "Jaws The Revenge" with no colon. Whether this was a typo on someone's part or just CreatorsApathy is unknown.

* 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 Hoagie intact. Thankfully, Roy Scheider refused to desecrate his character so much.

* WaterIsDry: When Hoagie gets out of the water in the climax, his clothes are completely dry. In Siskel and Ebert's review of the film, [[https://youtu.be/LK4Jir_Xyes?t=2m57s they both take the time to make fun of this.]]

* OlderThanTheyThink: As [[http://jabootu.net/?p=589 this review]] points out, the main things this movie is mocked for (the shark roaring and the shark seeking revenge) were actually present to some degree in the previous films (E.G in ''Film/Jaws2'' Martin points out it's weird they are being attacked by another shark and half-seriously suggests it might be looking for revenge. However, the whole idea is only brought up in one scene to be shot down and forgotten about.) Why this film is so reviled is mainly because it takes those two story elements and brings them UpToEleven, as if someone was deliberately trying to take the most ridiculous bits of the ''Jaws'' universe and make them stand out as much as possible.

** Overlaps with ScienceMarchesOn, the plan to overload the shark's electroreception sense wouldn't work because great whites, along with several of their relatives such as the mako shark, don't rely on that sense very much, meaning it wouldn't react to the device unless it was powerful enough to actually electrocute the shark.

* InfantImmortality: Thea survives her encounter with the shark.

** Also, sharks don't blow up if they're impaled.

* ScienceMarchesOn: It turns out that, for the great white shark and some of its relatives like the mako, electroreception is a low-priority sense. The zapper device the shark eats would only have caused it to react if it was strong enough to give the shark actual electrical jolts.

* AdultFear: The scene where Michael is chased by the shark. Probably the worst fear of every scuba diver out there.

* 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.

** Plus, the laughing at the fun is due to the happy flashback she's having.

* VoodooShark: The novelization of the film is the trope namer, due to it explaining that shark's attacks are caused by a voodoo priest, who has a score to settle with Michael.
