#260 - Jaws 3-D (1983)

Bad Movies Rule!

The Bad Movies Rule crew dives headfirst into the murky waters of Jaws 3-D (1983) — the one where the shark crashes SeaWorld, Dennis Quaid runs parkour laps around the lagoon, and the 3D effects look like they were shot on a Super 8 camera pointed at cardboard cutouts.

James, Brian, Bob, and Ryan Farrell suffer through (and occasionally enjoy) the slowest, chunkiest great white in franchise history, bumper boat carnage, dolphin defenders, a grenade-pulling scene for the ages, and enough Leah Thompson chemistry to make you forget the movie’s body count is shockingly low. They roast the effects, debate whether cocaine explains Dennis Quaid’s intensity, pitch a far superior remake starring Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. an orca, and hand out the usual awards.

Is Jaws 3-D a misunderstood cheesy delight or just a bad movie, full stop?

Grab your snorkel, avoid the undersea kingdom tunnels, and join the boys for another hilarious scene-by-scene takedown!
