History YMMV / JawsTheRevenge

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments:
** Ellen, having about enough of the shark's bullshit, going on her own with Jake's boat to end the thing. Bonus points for finishing off the shark with completing her late husband's PreMortemOneLiner.
--->'''(Flashback) Martin''': Smile, you sonofa-\\
'''Ellen''': -bitch!
** Jake surviving, [[AssPull as implausible as it may be]].

** Ellen assuming her husband Martin died of a heart attack from fear of Jaws. Yes, the same man who had the balls to fight the great white ''twice'' supposedly died from fear of it. Quite the insult to such a badass character.
** Michael's cry for Jake as it looks like he's eaten by the shark. As the Nostalgia Critic puts it, it sounds like he's doing an impression of a dolphin humping a goat.

** Hoagie somehow outrunning a great white in the ocean. Not helped by his shirt's dry in spite of that.
** Jake surviving being ''mauled'' by a great white.

** Michael's reaction when the shark takes Jake. Pretty wrenching to realize this thing has killed his brother and his best friend within a few weeks.

* SpecialEffectFailure:

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Jake, who has most of the film's (intentionally) memorable dialogue and is much more likeable and charismatic than the nominal leads. He was so popular with test audiences that the ending was reshot to let him survive the film.

** Newcombe is also well liked for his funny lines, especially his rather nonchalant "Oh shit!" even though he's being attacked by a great white.

** Ellen laughing to herself at Sean's funeral, then later tearing up as Mike plays with Thea, instead of the other way around which would've ,made them more appropriate.

--> '''Crew member:''' (in an annoyed yet casual tone as he and Michael curiously watch the shark) Jesus Christ!

** Ellen laughing to herself at Sean's funeral, then later tearing up as Mike plays with Thea, instead of the other way around which would've made them more appropriate.

* FightSceneFailure: Sean's death, and, later, Ellen's NightmareSequence both depict the shark attack with a really fast montage of close ups of shark teeth, blood in the water, and glimpses of other shark parts, with a bunch of clothes tearing sounds and screaming dubbed in. You also have to wonder how the shark can bite Sean when he's not still leaning over the edge of the boat, unless we're meant to assume it chewed a hole through the bottom of the boat,

** It gets worse. [[http://articles.latimes.com/1988-08-07/local/me-382_1_child-abuse Her mother told Child Protection]] about her husband's threats against her and her daughter three months before, but they closed the case a month later. This, despite neighbors stating that her father had made at ''least'' 500 threats against her. He stated that if he killed his wife, he'd have to kill his daughter, too. It ended up as a MurderSuicide.
** Lance Guest was one of her pallbearers at her funeral.

* AssPull: Jake surviving being chomped on by the shark and being dragged underwater. He just shows up all fine and floating in the water after the shark blows up.

*** Also doubles as StockFootageFailure, as the shot of the shark appearing out of the water was clearly taken from later on in the film when Michael, Jake and his crew were chucking chum in the water, explaining why the water was so bloody to begin with.

* BetterThanCanon: While it’s still in the realm of unrealism, many have agreed that the alternate ending where the shark bleeds to death was a more believable than it just blowing up out of nowhere.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Creator/MichaelCaine's incredibly nonchalant OhCrap when the shark is charging at him. Also when questioned on his day job, he dryly states "I delivery laundry" without another word said of it.

** The tagline "This time its personal".

* 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.
