Fear the Jaws 19 trailer
The Jaws 19 trailer is a real thing, y’all.
With Back to the Future celebrating its 30th anniversary the 1980s nostalgia is on full blast. Retro Pepsi bottles, Chicago Cubs making the playoffs and, yes, a Jaws 19 trailer – as promised in Back to the Future Part II. Prepare to be amazed …
And since we’re here and Google may-or-may-not require a word count these days let’s power rank the Jaws franchise.
No. 1
Jaws
An iconic movie in every sense of the word, and quite possibly the best movie Steven Spielberg has or will ever make. It’s littered with memorable dialogue – “We’re gonna need a bigger boat” “For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing” “Smile you son of a bitch” – filled with classic shots and is the perfect homage to Alfred Hitchcock. The fact that Bruce (the shark) wasn’t seen until later in the movie only because it was broken, ultimately drumming up the dramatics, makes things that much better. Jaws made people afraid to enter the water in the 1970s; it has the same affect today.
No. 2
Jaws 3-D
Crank up the campiness factor to 11. A giant shark attacking a theme park? He reeks havoc on a SeaWorld Terrors of the Deep ride and chases down Cypress Gardens-esque ski team? Toss in the glory of 1980s 3-D and it’s a bundle of gloriousness.
No. 3
Jaws 2
All the trappings of a sequel that wants to be a real movie, but can’t quite carry the torch. However, it never gets old watching a shark sink a helicopter. Plus, Brody is awesome.
No. 4
Jaws: The Revenge
Shoulda stopped after No. 3. It’s too much. Maybe Jaws 19 will be better.
PS. The Jaws Nintendo game was the s–t!
