Hi:

I kinda knew this would happen, but when I went to look for JAWS 3 and 4 at Best Buy, I found it missing in action.


And I checked both the Horror and Action sections.

Anyone have any luck finding these sequels at B&M's?

I know this won't help much, but I did see them at my local new/used place today (Movie Xchange) here in DFW area. So it is out there somewhere.

I went to the local Future Shop and they didn't have any...but at a mom & pop disc store, they had both of them... only picked up Jaws 3 though... so keep looking, they're out there!

My CC had two of each.

My Best Buy had 4 copies of each in the Action section. I was going to get them but at $17.99 each for barebones editions, that's a little steep with all the other good releases this week...

Frys, BB, Target and CC in my area and next town over had 0 of each. Said they didnt get em in.

My local BB had 2 copies of each in the "Action" section.

Do we know which ending is on part 4 yet? Thanks!

Try DEEPDISCOUNTDVD.com they have them for $13.99 each.

My local Tower Video had them both.

Just ordered mine from DDD... $13.99 out the door.

My BB and CC had plenty yesterday.

Just an FYI if you have a BJs and are a member get them there as they had them for only $12.99 each.

Borders should have them as well.... I remember 3 coming in this week.

Movie Trading Company in Dallas had them both!

Now that Jaws 3 & 4 are out, the series is complete. I don't see any sign of a box set on any of the stores or websites. Does anybody know if there's going to be one? It would be nice to have an ocean-blue foil cover with the Jaws shark on the side, with the red JAWS logo. Maybe Universal will devise one for the holiday season.

It won't be complete until JAWS 3-D is released in 3-D.

Oh come on now I have had Jaws 3 for over a year now, I dare to thread where others don't follow. I buy a lot of my titles in different regions, Jaws 3 with Dennis Quaid is a Region 4 Australia. I wouldn't waste my money on that stupid Jaws 4 without Sheider(1 & 2) or Quaid just good ol mom and her friend go after yet another Great White shark who finally gets the point.


P.S. I seen Jaws 3 in the *big* movie theater not the cineplex at the Mall. Real 3D that had the people ducking in the audience and all were wearing white cardboard blue and red glasses. The film was made by 2 cameras out of sync like a
anigraph first made in the 1880s in the 19th Century. DVD can't do the same in 2003 with blue, red or yellow lasers, they just forgot the technoligy.

The film was NOT released in the red/blue format, but rather the superior polarized technique which uses clear gray lenses not unlike sunglasses.

99% of all 3-D movies, both in the fifties and since then, have used the polarized format. Notable exceptions are THE MASK, FREDDY'S DEAD, and this summer's SPY KIDS 3-D, which went the red/blue route for ease of projection since they are basically flat films with a few 3-D scenes here and there.

Don't get confused about JAWS 3-D glasses with red/blue lenses you may find, as these were used with bubble gum cards and posters used to promote the film.

To further clarify, some 3-D movies which were originally released in polarized form were later "downconverted" to inferior red/blue anaglyph versions for re-issue, TV broadcasts, etc, but these do not look anything like the originals.

JAWS 3-D was transferred to anaglyph a few years ago for a one time TV showing in Poland, but I don't think it has surfaced since.

JAWS was not shot with 2 cameras like the films of the fifties but rather a single camera unit called Arrivision which stacked the seperate left and right eye images onto one frame of film. This eases projection, but also cuts the resolution in half.

JAWS 3-D COULD have been released by Universal on DVD in 3-D easily. They already released it in Japan on videodisc in 1990, using the field sequential format which requires LCD glasses. (Lots of 3-D DVDs are starting to use this technology as well.)
