James B This was an interesting film. It doesn't have a terrible CGI shark like most shark films use now instead it has that animatronic shark that the jaws films use and I prefer it. It has footage from jaws 2 and 3 and it even has star wars music which is odd. It basically combined the first 3 jaws. Some scenes I just couldn't help but laugh. Contrary to popular beliefs cruel jaws isn't actually part of the franchise even though in some areas it was marketed Jaws 5 which is why the film is so controversial among other reasons. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Cameron William S it is crap real crap i hate it Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review CJ If you love seeing several movies at ripped off at once, then you will love this movie. At 2 points in the movie Star Wars music is used. Wow, just wow. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/30/23 Full Review Brad P Releasing this as Jaws 5 in some territories was fitting because that series was all about diminishing returns and I can safely say Jaws 4: The Revenge (1987) looks like a masterpiece next to this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Sometimes a movie is so horrible it's actually a masterpiece. "Cruel Jaws" is one of those. The dialogue, the acting, editing, effects - everything adds up to one of the most entertaining 90 min you'll ever experience. Definitely a great party film to watch with friends. The story revolves around a Hulk Hogan look-alike and his family (which includes his little wheelchair-bound daughter who loves to swim - you can see where this is going) running the smallest water park in America while battling an evil landlord, his bully son, mafia and finally the psychotic shark. Must-see for any lovers of so-bad-it's-good genre films from the 80s. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member One and a half stars (the half star is for the blatant gall of these idiots to include actual ‘Jaws 1, 2 and 3’ movie clips and dialogue - hoping that no one would notice). A Must See horrible train wreck of a movie, starring Hulk Hogan and Matt Damon look alike actors (they were a-lot less expensive to cast)! Best Line: “You’re gonna need a bigger helicopter!’ A solid plagiarized classic! Still - It’s better than watching ‘Jaws -The Revenge’ - Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/22 Full Review Read all reviews
