Anaglyph could be shown on any screen, if your theater switched their titles around, or for some overseas markets where they couldn't do anything as fancy.
And drive-in theaters just had to show the 2-D version.

And the rumors of polarized pop-out in '83? Absolutely untrue.
Never saw it once. (Except for the ping-pong ball in House of Wax, that sort of came close.)

I saw Jaws 3D and Friday the 13th 3D in the theater with polarized glasses in the 80s. Both movies had awesome pop-out effects.

Back in those days, it depended on where you were sitting in the theater--
If you weren't dead center, any gun that stuck out of the screen was usually two guns.

Not really. I caught Jaws 3D and Friday the 13th Part 3 at a revival festival about ten years ago. At both screenings I was not able to get seats dead center, and each time the 3D was gorgeous and the pop-outs were quite impressive (especially the floating arm in Jaws 3D).

well with Jaws being officially announced today by uni, hopefully they will announce the Jaws 3D bluray 3D set very soon.

Jaws 3D in actual 3D... Count me aboard!

its going to suck if JAWS 3D ends up being the one title not to follow through on the universal leaked list.

Still no pre-order means it isn't happening (least not now).

I always thought it was an odd release. There are next to no 3-D "catalog movies" available and if anything made sense, it was Universal releasing the far more popular JAWS 2 on Blu-Ray.

Hopefully I'll be wrong but I still think this was wishful thinking on the part of whoever "leaked" the "list."
