How Howard The Duck’s Bombing (& A Fistfight) Led To Jaws 4 Being Made

In fact, Sheinberg’s greenlight was so abrupt it only left the filmmakers with nine months to make the movie from scratch. Sheinberg also scrapped the version of Jaws 4 that Price had been developing, stating in an interview he “… thought it was an atrocious idea.” The Jaws movie franchise continued to be profitable for Universal even after the third movie received bad reviews, and reportedly the fourth movie was a way for the studio to promote its upcoming Jaws ride at Universal Studios in Florida.
The sequel also gave the lead role to Lorraine Gary, who played Ellen Brody in the first two entries while also being the wife of Sheinberg. While Jaws: The Revenge didn’t bomb like Howard The Duck, it did attract some equally harsh reviews and became the lowest-grossing of the series. To date, no other sequels have been produced either, though talk of a new entry or remake occasionally surfaces.
