#104 - "Jaws 3-D" (1983) with Ben Carpenter & Tyra Williams 80s Flick Flashback

    • TV & Film

The first "Jaws" movie, directed by a young up-and-comer named Steven Spielberg, is a masterpiece; an incredibly tense, well-made, and well-acted film that created the summer blockbuster as we know it and changed the movie business forever. The first sequel, Jaws 2, can’t reach the heights of the original but it was a respectable enough follow-up. Then there’s this 80s flick! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, again!

Set at Florida’s Sea World, the plot centers on a group of courageous individuals who must band together to confront a colossal menace lurking beneath the waves. When the underwater tunnels become the hunting ground for a massive shark, chaos at the park ensues, and survival becomes priority number one in a battle against this ultimate predator.

So grab your classic 3-D glasses, meet us at the underwater observation deck and don’t forget to turn on the pressure tubes as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Tyra Williams and Ben Carpenter discuss “Jaws 3-D” from 1983 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.



Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:


The Brody brothers (Sean and Mike) are the only two characters that appear in all four Jaws movies. They are also played by different actors in every installment.
Unlike the previous two, or subsequent, Jaws films, the shark in Jaws 3 only surfaces once throughout the entire film. Excluding shots of the shark's fin, the only time it breaches the surface of the water is when it attacks and injures Lea Thompson's character Kelly Ann.
