I'm pretty sure Jaws 4 was the one with all the religious symbolism.

Speaking of which, why aren't they making a Jaws 5 yet? Or even better yet, Jaws vs. Rocky?

Jaws 5: Jaws in Space

Synopsis: It is the year 2058. The youngest Brody son is now 65 years old, and moves to another planet (need a planet with water other than Earth here??) for retirement. He is on a beach when suddenly there is a shark attack. To his horror, it is the great-great-great-grandson of the original Jaws come back for more revenge. This futuristic Jaws is the most dangerous Jaws yet... because he has a laser attached to his head.

Maybe I can send that wonderful idea to Uwe Boll.

A shark with a frickin' laser beam on its head!

Everything I've learned about triumvirates is that they're doomed to fail. Yet this did not happen in Jaws (tell that to Quint!). God damn Speilberg and his revisionist history!
