Tina Turner rose to prominence with her certainly not better half in the 1960s. Her powerful voice, captivating stage presence and a pair of legs that most likely influenced ZZ Top easily made her the standout of the duo. Although she fell on hard times during the 70s, Tina made a huge comeback in the mid-1980s with Private Dancer. The album spawned a string of hit singles including her most popular - What's Love Got To Do With It. For the video, Tina strolls the streets of New York interacting with a pre-famous Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Springsteen's sister. The song would later lend it's name to Tina's biopic What's Love Got To Do With It (1993).

Look out for the shark, mon! Jaws: The Revenge has issues of charcharodon proportions, most notably that the shark has a vendetta against The Brody family so much so that it swims from New England aaaaaall the way down to The Bahamas to try and end their bloodline. Yet I love watching this trainwreck.
Ellen Brody is back, fresh from The Stevie Wonder Hair Salon. Reeling from her younger son's fatal shark attack, Ellen joins her other son in the tropics to regroup. Only to be followed the same great white. It's better in The Bahamas and this shark knows it. It just lallygags around the clear water. On a diet apparently, only eating two people, well, three depending on which ending you watch. And this piss poor diet is apparent when the shark takes a bite out of Michael and Jake's barge and it's teeth break off.
In keeping with tradition, the method of the shark's demise is seen earlier in each film so I just assumed this time it would be death by Ellen Brody's shoulder pads. But then they went with Jake's strobe light device which made they shark roar loud enough to rival Katy Perry. This film does have a few things going for it such as Michael Small's score, being one of my favorite Nintendo games and having one of the most quotable taglines ever to grace a poster.
