Another bad movie that I enjoy watching Jaws 3-D was released into theaters July 22, 1983. It had a stellar cast with Dennis Quaid, Bess Armstrong, Simon MacCorkindale, Lea Thompson, and Louis Gossett, Jr. Roy Scheider absolutely wanted no part of this movie. Quaid plays the grown up son Michael Brody of Scheider's previous role of Police Chief Martin Brody of Amity Island.
Jaws 3-D takes place in SeaWorld Orlando, where a young great white shark manages to enter from the sea and begins attacking and killing park employees. Mike Brody is a chief engineer for SeaWorld with his girl friend Kay Morgan as the senior biologist. After they capture the shark, they realize that a much larger shark has also infiltrated the park.
Although it fared well at the box office, it did not enjoy the same success as its predecessors. It was largely criticized, receiving an 11% rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Jaws 3-D was nominated for five Razzie awards in 1984: Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Supporting Actor Louis Gossett, Jr. The dolphins were also nominated for Worst New Star which is unfair, considering the material they had to work with. Also, who said their acting was terrible?
