Bruce, like all of the primary sharks in this franchise, is a great white shark, and a phenomenal specimen at that. Bruce first made his presence known by chowing down on Christine Watkins in the opening sequence. He would then make sporadic appearances throughout the movie, most of the time picking off another unlucky beach-goer (including one poor dog), before being pursued by Quint, Brody, and Cooper in the Orca. He ultimately met his end when Brody shot an oxygen tank lodged in his mouth, causing him to explode on impact. Despite not being the largest shark to be seen in the franchise or even the one to do the most damage, Bruce is undoubtedly the most popular and iconic shark of the lot. SIZE Originally estimated by Cooper to be 20 feet (6 meters) long, Quint quickly outdid that by declaring him to be a solid 25 footer (7.62 meters) and 3 tons (6,000 pounds). Pictures for an idea of his size Robert Shaw (Quint) was 5'11" (180.3cm) for reference STRENGTH* Pulled a dock apart with ease Basically ate a grown man whole, save for one leg Bashed a hole straight through Ben Gardner's boat Bit through piano wire, which is made from tempered high-carbon steel Turned the Orca around and pulled it at incredible speed Mythbusters did this experiment and deemed it virtually impossible for a shark to do this, so make of that what you will regarding Bruce's raw power. Able to stay submerged with 3 flotation barrels tagged to it Again, this was deemed very unrealistic when done by Mythbusters. Destroyed Cooper's shark cage relatively easily Nearly sank the Orca by jumping onto it DURABILIY Shot by Quint's Greener Light Harpoon Gun Shot again by another harpoon Shot on top of the head by Brody's Smith & Wesson Model 15 Took a prolonged stab to the side of the mouth by Quint's machete Took multiple stabbings to the snout by a lance Coming 4 years after Bruce's annihilation is Brucette, the antagonist from Jaws 2. Brucette is immediately recognizable by the burns along the right side of her face. According to the novelization of the film, she is Bruce's mate, and was able to give birth to one pup before being killed (which turned out to be the shark from Jaws: The Revenge, again, according to the novel). She's also shown to be the most sadistic shark in the franchise, seemingly prolonging the suffering of her victims numerous times before killing them. SIZE Brucette's size is never specified, so it's safe to assume she is either the same size as Bruce at 25ft or, going by sexual dimorphism, somewhat larger due to being a female. Devoured Marge whole in one bite STRENGTH Busted the side of a speedboat and nearly capsized it Killed an orca Rammed a sailboat and pushed it several meters Capsized a sailboat Tormented, pushed, and capsized another larger sailboat Pulled a harbor patrol helicopter into the ocean while it was trying to ascend Pushed around 4 sailboats tied together Rammed the sailboats hard enough to lodge one apart DURABILIY Survived a gasoline fire with 3rd degree burns to the face SPEED Caught up to a wakeboarder going at least 15MPH (great whites can reach 25MPH) Jaws 3 (AKA Jaws: 3D) hits some years after Jaws 2, bringing not one shark this time but two — Brucetta and her baby Danny. Brucetta's origin is unclear, as some believe her to be the granddaughter of Bruce, or a separate shark altogether. Despite there being two sharks, there aren't many feats for the big girl and none whatsoever for her kid. SIZE While Danny is only about 7-8 feet long being he's only a baby, Brucetta is an unprecedented 35 feet, making her by far the largest shark seen in the franchise to date. Grabbed FitzRoyce in her mouth with room to spare (doubles as STRENGTH feat) Holding Fred in her jaws Brucette stuck in the control room STRENGTH Rammed into an underwater tunnel, causing severe water leakage Crushed FitzRoyce in her mouth without the use of her teeth Broke open a locked steel gate with the propulsion of her tail movement (also doubles as MISC feat) Smashed through the glass to the control room DURABILITY Easily swam through the bubble screen that deterred normal-sized sharks MISC Was able to swim backwards Jaws 4 (AKA Jaws: The Revenge) came out four years after Jaws 3, and boy, was it something. The shark in the movie has been given the name Vengeance by fans. By novel lore, Vengeance is the son of Bruce and Brucette, being born just moments before Brucette's death, and then being "possessed" by a voodoo priest that had a grudge against Michael (after he'd already swam to the Bahamas, mind you). Vengeance's death in the theatrical cut was him simply being impaled by a boat and bleeding out egregiously, however, audiences disapproved of that ending and it was later changed to Vengeance inexplicably blowing up when he's impaled. SIZE Vengeance's size is never specified in the film, but according to the special effects head Henry Miller^[1], the fully articulated models were 25 feet, so the same size as Bruce was. STRENGTH Bites Sean's arm clean off in one quick swipe Chews through the rig's wooden siding despite being harmed by it Tears apart a small submarine Breaks through the wall of a sunken boat, almost breaking through the steel ladder afterwards Drags a small tourist plane down into the sea Propels himself several meters into the air to grab Jake off the boat DURABILITY Survives 3 internal shocks from Jake's device The third happens off-screen. MISC* - Travels from Amity Island (near New York) to the Bahamas—an approximate distance of 1,250 miles—in less than 3 days. Finds a way into the ship Michael hides in, displaying some level of intelligence ^[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaws:_The_Revenge#Special_effects Edited by Pyrus, Nov 2 2016, 02:49 AM.

Also, didn't know the shark from JAWS 2 was a female. I thought only the JAWS 3 one was a girl.

Honestly, I was waiting for YIFY to upload the third movie since they had the other three, but they still haven't so I just got tired of putting it off. Quote: Also, didn't know the shark from JAWS 2 was a female. I thought only the JAWS 3 one was a girl. It's never said in the movie. I'm just using the information from the novel, which some people don't take as valid for the film.
