The highly anticipated completion of the 4K journey for the iconic shark franchise, Jaws, is finally happening this summer with the release of Jaws 3 and Jaws: The Revenge in 4K UHD.
After the original Jaws received the 4K treatment in June 2020, followed by the sequel last year, fans have eagerly awaited the addition of these two films to complete the collection.
Jaws 3 and Jaws: The Revenge 4K UHD release date details!
The release date for Jaws 3 and Jaws: The Revenge in 4K UHD is set for July 23, 2024. Additionally, a box set featuring all three sequels in 4K will also be available, offering fans the ultimate viewing experience.
While these sequels may not reach the heights of the original Jaws, there’s a certain appeal for completionists and fans of the franchise. Despite their flaws, there’s a nostalgic charm to both films.
Jaws 3, also known as Jaws 3-D, debuted in 1983, heavily relying on 3D gimmicks which may have overshadowed its storytelling. Following the Brody family’s legacy, the film takes place at Sea World, where another encounter with a giant shark unfolds. While the film may have aged with some ropey visual effects, it still holds a place in the hearts of fans.
On the other hand, Jaws: The Revenge is infamous for its outlandish plot and less-than-stellar special effects, epitomized by the roaring shark. Even Michael Caine, who starred in the film, famously dismissed it as merely a paycheck. Despite its shortcomings, the film has garnered a cult following over the years.
With the release of Jaws 3 and Jaws: The Revenge in 4K UHD, fans can revisit these beloved, albeit flawed, entries in the Jaws franchise and experience them like never before.
