Five Clips of Michael Caine in Really Crappy Roles
Let’s get something straight. We here are Unreality love Michael Caine. I personally think he’s an incredible actor and hope that he never retires.
But Caine, like any other actor has to pay the bills. And as such even guys of his caliber will take on movie and TV roles that don’t exactly challenge their abilities.
For the first in a running segment of “great actors in crappy roles” here are five clips of Caine in sub par roles.
Jaws: The Revenge
I love the “More you Know” spin on this clip. Hoagie!

The Jews! Juwes. Listen to the music.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Sure it’s a great book and classic movie from the 50’s but did you ever hear of the 1997 TV movie? Neither did I.
Blame it On Rio

She’s the hottest thing on the beach. She’s also his best friend’s daughter! Hahaha. This movie sucked so badly but you have to admit it’s fun.
On Deadly Ground

Yup, Michael Caine was in a Steven Seagal movie. Wow. Billy Bob was in this too!
Blame it on Rio. Wow. The female actress is up there for worst of all time.
As terrible as Jaws: The Revenge is – and make no mistake, it’s awful – I always catch myself keeping it on. Especially for the banana boat scene.
Couldn’t agree more Madison.
Man, I remember Jaws: The Revenge. It’s tough to decide if that one or the 3D one was worse. They kill the shark with some sonic doohickey, and it ROARS?! That franchise got pissed all over after starting it off with one of the most memorable films of all time.
Michael Caine is awesome, but he’s definitely been in some turds.
Call me crazy but the roar sound it makes is definitely a soundbyte from He-Man
@Nattyb
That would actually make the roar sound awesome if it’s true.
Also, don’t they make it as if the shark has some kind of vendetta against the family because of Roy Sheider’s character in the original? I guess this is a disgruntled child or relative of the previous 3 sharks or something…
Let’s try not to read into Jaws the Revenge too much!
What an overdramatic finale to the 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea clip. Camera quickly panning away and “NOOOOOOOOOO!” I wrote the music for that clip and decided I needed the score to match the cheesiness of the end. “BUM BUM BUM BUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”
