I actually kind of have a soft spot for Jaws 3D. It was the first 3D film I ever saw and it doesn’t hurt that I had a huge childhood crush on Bess Armstrong. As a film, it’s not great – though it’s still miles better than Jaws: The Revenge.
However, it features what may truly be one of the worst special effects ever committed to film. Keep in mind, I’m grading against the resources they had at their disposal. This isn’t some home video slasher shot in the woods, this is a studio movie! With a real budget! It came out in the 80’s and featured a shot that would have been deemed too shoddy even in 1920.
See for yourself. This video isn’t slowed down or anything – that’s just the choice they made in the movie.
