* ''Jaws 14'' (2000): Bruce the shark gives up his man-hunting ways when he meets a female hammerhead shark. Directed by little-known LA playwright [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]].

Being released on [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartII October 21, 2015]], the franchise continues with ''Jaws 19'', the latest in the long-running ''{{Franchise/Jaws}}'' franchise. It is directed by Max Spielberg, son of Creator/StevenSpielberg, father of the franchise.

* Film/JawsTheRevenge (1987): Winner of two Academy Awards, this time it was personal as Ellen Brody took up arms against a Great White that eats her son.
* Jaw$ 5 (1988): Matt Hooper tries to stop shark hunting in Southeast Asia, but finds himself at the mercy of relentless South Korean businessmen. Directed by Creator/OliverStone.
* Jaws 6 (1989): Bruce is hired to protect a party boat. Notable for the 30 minute love-making scene, which was cut just enough to give the film an R rating. Director credit goes to Main/AlanSmithee as no one is proud enough to admit they directed it.
* Jaws 7 (1990): Sharks have hacked into the Internet with the help of Somalian pirates and Nigerian princes. In the process, the sharks are betrayed and with the help of a scientist, the sharks launch a massive counter-attack with the aid of cybernetic organisms.
* Jaws 8 (1993): Terror comes to Tel Aviv as a field test of Japanese robotic sharks goes haywire. Notable for setting up the climactic showdown of ''Godzilla vs. Jaws'', featuring Mechagodzilla.
* Jaws 9 (1995): Chief Brody's grandson assembles a team of superhuman shark hunters to takedown an old enemy. Directed by Creator/JohnWoo.
* Jaws 10 (1996): Bruce the shark combats another hidden sea creature within the depths of the waters, with the authorities trying to eliminate both creatures' existence. Hailed as critics to be one of the better sequels of the franchise along with Jaws 2. Directed by Creator/JamesCameron.
* Jaws 11 (1997): A joint NASA-ESA mission to Europa takes a turn for the worse when a sentient race of sharks is discovered underneath the ice moon. Directed by Creator/PaulVerhoeven, who went on to direct a faithful adaptation of ''Literature/StarshipTroopers''.
* Jaws 12 (1998): The prequel, showing the early days of Quint and the fateful voyage of the USS ''Indianapolis''. Intended to be Creator/MichaelBay's big debut as a director, but the critical flop caused him to sink away to being a music video director.
* Jaws 12, Part 2 (1998): A tiger shark is terrorizing the coast of Havana, with Quint being the only one who can stop it. Notable for being Creator/RogerCorman's final film before he quit Hollywood.
* Jaws 14 (2000): Bruce the shark gives up his man-hunting ways when he meets a female hammerhead shark. Directed by little-known LA playwright [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]].
* Jaws 15 (2001): A Russian shark named Ivan Sharkovsky is brought to New York for a facedown with Bruce. Oscar-winning script from Creator/BryanSinger. Critics hail this sequel as the "second best Jaws movie out there".
* Jaws 16 (2003): Bruce the shark terrorizes the sewers of New York City, in an attempt to stalk and hunt down Jon Brody. The film is notable for taking references from the 1989 horror flick, ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan''. The underperformance of the film ended up killing the career of Creator/MatthewBroderick and put the franchise on ice for eight years. Interestingly, the video game adaptation for the Sega Ganymede is widely considered an aversion of TheProblemWithLicensedGames.
* Jaws 17: Fifty Scales of Grey (2011): Bruce begins an intimate relationship with a naïve college student. Portions of the film were adapted from the erotic novel, "Fifty Shades of Grey" which would adapted in 2015 by the same studio, Universal Pictures.
* Jaws Origins (also known as Jaws 18) (2014): The ContinuityReboot, winning back audiences with stunning realism and Oscar-winning performances from Creator/ChrisPratt as Brody, Creator/JenniferLawrence as Hooper, and Creator/MichaelKeaton as Quint. Directed by Creator/TheCoenBrothers and Creator/RobertRodriguez, though there is a ''lot'' of controversy over who should get directing credit.

Which brings us now to Jaws 19. The oceans are disappearing, due to Koch-Trump International's greed. The sharks join forces with their human allies to take back their home, culminating in an epic battle involving submarines.

* UglyCute: A great white and a hammerhead shark as a couple.

* Doll's Eyes: A Jaws Story (Also known as Jaws 20) (2018): Following the success of Jaws 19, this is another prequel that focuses on the life of Bruce up until the beginning of the first movie. Shot in black and white with color splashes for certain frames, this is among the more artistic entries in the series and is infamous for the questionable cinematic techniques of using real sharks to create a first person POV experience. Though seen as a critical success, it has its share of detractors.

** Jaws 21: Bruce Returns: Originally intended to be released in 2020 as a celebration of the franchise's 45th anniversary, the film's release was notoriously delayed to 2025 due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, and as a result, will be a celebration of the 50th anniversary instead. When asked about the unprecedented five-year delay, director Max Spielberg said "It felt inappropriate to delay this movie for less than that. Nobody celebrates 46th or 47th anniversaries!"

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: No, Europa and Io don't come that close together.

** Averted in ''Origins''.

** Possibly with Hooper at the end of the film, as in a blink-and-you-miss-it scene the shark bites down on one of her legs during the cage scene near the end, however we never actually find out if the injury is bad or not.
