Police chief Brody must protect the citizens of Amity after a second monstrous shark begins terrorizing the waters. Ross from The Daily Jaws and Michael from Let's Talk Jaws Live! discuss JAWS 2 as they watch the film together online, from opposite sides of the pond.
Released in 1978, "Jaws 2" swam its way back into the hearts of audiences, following the massive success of the original "Jaws" film. Directed by Jeannot Szwarc and starring Roy Scheider reprising his role as Police Chief Martin Brody, the sequel once again delves into the terror and suspense of a relentless great white shark prowling the waters of Amity Island. In this article, we delve into the experience of watching "Jaws 2" and explore some notable aspects of this thrilling sequel.
A Familiar Yet Intense Narrative: "Jaws 2" picks up a few years after the original film, with Amity Island still recovering from the trauma caused by the monstrous shark. As Chief Brody suspects the return of another deadly predator, he faces skepticism from the town's authorities, leading him to take matters into his own hands. The film successfully builds upon the tension and fear established in its predecessor, albeit with a slightly different tone. While it may not reach the same level of groundbreaking originality, "Jaws 2" offers a familiar yet thrilling narrative that captivates audiences once again.
Correction: Michael mentions Mark Gruner used to be on "The Partridge Family." It was actually Gary Dubin.
