In Jaws 3, tourists marvel at the new “Undersea Kingdom”, a maze of underwater glass tunnels that allow visitors to get up closer to marine life than ever before, until they get an unexpected visit from a very angry shark. Finally, in Jaws: The Revenge, Brody’s wife seeks refuge in the Bahamas only to find herself reliving the horrors of her past.”
