The original idea for Jaws 3 was that the film was going to be a self parody movie called " National Lampoon's Jaws 3 People 0" and John Hughes was going to write the script. the plot was going to be about a group of filmmakers being chased by a great white shark while trying to make a Jaws sequel. The idea was scrapped, and " Jaws 3-D" was made instead. Needless to say, " Jaws 3-D" was pretty bad. Do you guys think that " Jaws 3 People 0" would have been a better movie? Why or Why Not?

Well it would have been different, but that doesn't necessarily mean better. I remember this rumor back in the early 80s, to be honest I thought it sounded like a pretty dumb idea then. I suppose if they had gotten the ZAZ team to do it, then maybe it would have worked...but Hughes doing it? Nah, not in his wheelhouse.

I have a feeling that people would have responded to Jaws 3 People 0 in a similar manner to how people responded to Halloween III: Season of the Witch. It would have been so different from the first two films that people would have been alienated by it. |

LOL, That would most definitely have been a Very Very Weird Title.

Wait, Jaws 3-D wasn't a comedy?

That's actually kind of an interesting premise.

I don't like when a non-parody gets a parody sequel.

I read the script. Wasn't exactly a laugh riot, but at least it was intentionally dumb, unlike the Jaws 3 we got.

I think the premise of Jaws 3 was good, but everything else about it sucked.

It wasn't a great movie, but honestly it was at least watchable at 5/10, which made it the second best in the series.
Strange thread when one considers that Jaws 2 and 4 compete for worst movie ever made. Jaws 2 is still the winner of "worst movie in the Jaws series". That was even more embarrassing for everyone involved than number 4.
The title of a "scoreboard" might have worked, I suppose. I don't think it would work out over time. Of course none of the three sequels really worked out over time.

There was also a parody film planned called CHEEKS with Mickey Rooney.

My current avatar comes from the poster they had made up for this parody.

I'm sure it would have been a hell of a lot better than Jaw 3-D.
