Retro Blood 195: Jaws 3D (1983)

James Kline and J.H. Alison kick off a brand-new theme for July 2025: 1980s Shark Horror—and what better way to start than with the wild ride that is Jaws 3D! This week, the boys take a deep dive into the third entry in the legendary Jaws franchise—a movie packed with floating fish heads, slow-motion shark attacks, awkward 3D effects, and the return of the Brody boys (this time in SeaWorld, of all places). 🦈 In this episode: Quick thoughts on the film’s legacy, its infamous 3D gimmicks, and the unintended campy charm. History Segment (July 22, 1983): 🎸 Metal: Alison breaks down Manowar’s sword-swinging, fantasy-filled album Into Glory Ride. 🤼‍♂️ Wrestling: James highlights Ric Flair vs. Harley Race and the wrestling scene heating up that summer. Behind the Scenes: Director Joe Alves steps in after working on the production design of the first two Jaws films. Why producers originally wanted to make a spoof sequel: Jaws 3, People 0. The switch to SeaWorld and how it shaped the movie’s direction. Richard Matheson (writer of the original Jaws) disowning the film. Dennis Quaid’s wild performance and rumors of cocaine-fueled filming. Roy Scheider’s hilarious refusal to return, calling this movie “a joke.” Then, the full review dives into exploding underwater tunnels, giant mama sharks, weird character subplots, and why this 3D disaster is still a blast to watch today—especially with a cold one and some good company. 💥 Cheesy 3D. Shark mayhem. ’80s vibes.
