[edit] Quotes

Calvin Bouchard: You talkin' bout some damn shark's mutha?

Calvin Bouchard: Well...this afternoon, at the main gate...we be pleased to announce the welcoming, of Mr. Philip Fitz Royce! HAHA! That's right boys and girls, he gon' be he-yah! Now we got drinks at the bar. Dey free.'

These quotes are a good indicator of some of the crazy dialog in the movie. I don't think they should be excluded based on their relevance to the plot. I consider them memorable; I may be in the minority. Other users have commented that quotes can get out of hand so I'm happy to concede the point and not include any for this article.

[edit] Plot

The 'plot' section is too long and messy. The JPS 10:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tagged for cleanup

I've tagged this article as needing cleanup for the following reasons:

• The plot summary is badly-written at points and is arguably not in a NPOV. There are a lot of grammatical errors and the tone is somewhat casual.
• The trivia section also contains many grammar issues.
• The Production history section is also poorly toned, and lacks citation. Tozoku 23:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

/* i'm just a casual visitor on wikipedia, so i'm not sure if i'm doing this correctly: i'm confused by the plot summary for Jaws 3. it references the names of several women -- Kelly, Katherine, Kay and Kaye. Who's who here?? Can someone clarify who they're referring to?? */--------

[edit] 3D filming technique

The section of the article dealing with the 3D filming process was completely incorrect, stating that the film used anaglyph 3D and two separate strips of film. In fact, it was actually polarised 3D using the Arrivision 3D single-strip system. I corrected this, but for some reason the article has reverted to the previous revision. The corrected version still exists in the history. Why has it reverted to the inaccurate version? 213.132.48.105 11:47, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you provide sources? The "incorrect" version has inline citations. We need someway of verifying your information. URLs? The JPS^{talk to me} 13:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

If you read the corrected version, you will note that I provide citations for the fact that Jaws 3-D used Arrivision 3D (I link to the technical specifications page for the film on IMDb) and that it was available in 3D in a domestic format. I also point out, in the text, that the credits of the film itself reveal that it was shot in Arrivision 3D (sadly, few people seem to bother to read credits, despite the fact that they are a primary source of information). The technical citations in the incorrect version are, unfortunately, all completely inaccurate; whoever wrote that section of the article seemed to be relying on information from a number of DVD review websites that were just plain wrong about the way Jaws 3-D was shot. However, one of the existing citations *does* mention the fact that it was shot in Arrivision - it's the Variety review of the film from 1983.

There is currently no specific Wikipedia article about Arrivision 3D, but if you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arriscope you will find an existing reference to the Arriscope process which mentions the fact that Arrivision was used for Jaws 3-D.87.201.174.150 21:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA

Looks good to me, however my only concern is the one sentence or very short sections/paragraphs. Once they are expanded, merge i will be happy to pass this. Can also use [1] for the fake shark quote. M3tal H3ad 07:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Do you mean in the 'reception' section? Is it just a case of removing those subheadings? I had them there because of the style guide at the Film Project. The JPS^{talk to me} 11:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I've expanded 'Box office performance'. I'd like to keep the sections for consistency, but I agree that now 'awards' is pretty slim. Do you have any idea how to expand upon that? The JPS^{talk to me} 11:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Expansion is nice, I'm not sure on expanding awards though, however everything else is fine so it deserves a pass. Goodjob M3tal H3ad 12:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
