Everything Wrong With Jaws 2 in 18 Minutes or Less

Jaws 2 is probably not as bad as you remember. I mean... it's bad, but compared to what comes after it... ... anyway here are its sins.

Thursday: martial arts sins.

Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next?

Fun Fact: Marc Gilpin claims that when they were shooting one of the scenes on the makeshift raft of wrecked yachts, they were being circled by a real hammerhead shark. The actors were scared and began to scream and holler at the production crew, which was filming that particular scene from a distance. The crew was oblivious to the danger and assumed the actors were simply "in character" and gave them the thumbs up.

Scuba divers fall backwards out of the boat because if they fell forward they would land in the boat.

One scene that always stood out to me and sticks in my mind is when Marge is eaten alive right in front of Sean with only a few feet between them. What a gruesome sight and memory to carry.

The late Robert Shaw apparently saw this sequel at a screening a few months before his death, and his reaction was basically "I'm glad that I wasn't involved in this trashfire."

I actually still enjoy this one really well only thing I dislike is that they cut the scene where when the Mayor and others vote on Brody’s position and we see only the Mayor defend him is such a great moment.

"Sh... sh... sh. Sh. SHARK!" Best delivered horror line anywhere.

As much as Scheider didn't want to do Jaws 2, he still put in a great performance. Especially the scene at the town meeting after he fires his gun at a school of bluefish. "I'm telling you and I'm telling everybody at this table that that's a shark. And I know what a shark looks like because I've seen one up close! And you better do something about this one, because I don't intend on going through that hell again!"

I remember seeing this in the theater with my parents, I was 9 years old and my brother was 5. My Dad said out loud during the movie, if that shark eats the helicopter we are leaving (he was not the only one with this thought in the audience). After that happened the audience was laughing. We begged him to stay, and we did, but yeah, we still talk about this now.

"Let's talk about the shark's plan" got me. 😂

Okay- easy to pick apart movies in this day and age- no one paused a movie constantly to pick it apart back then. I saw Jaws in the theater when I was 7 and was super excited to see Jaws 2 when I was 10- and I loved it. it's ridiculous but the nostalgia is great. It's not the masterpiece of the original but it's a fun movie to watch

Roy Scheider apparently didn't want to do the sequel, but the contract he signed for the original movie promised he would star in three or four movies. Unfortunately he was legally obligated to star in the sequel, so he supposedly decided to be as difficult to work with as possible to get fired from the next movie. I personally like to think that Roy channeled that frustration into his character, to really sell his performance of making Brody go mad. It would also explain why he so suddenly is written out of the future Jaws movies in an offscreen death.

The absolute dumbest thing about this movie is that at the beginning we’re led to believe that the shark attacked AND SWALLOWED two, that’s 2, adult SCUBA divers wearing full gear including steel oxygen tanks in a matter of seconds and it didn’t die.

Brody knows the stuff about what sharks are attracted to (blood, thrashing around etc) because he read about it in the first movie. There's a whole scene.

[Rusty.Shackhouse]

“Foreshallowing” lol 😂 idk why I found that so funny 😆

[mattg]

Jaws is an undisputed classic, but I still enjoy Jaws 2 as pure summer entertainment. I grew up terrified of the shark pulling the copter and pilot under water. I love your videos, and this one is no exception!

[grapeshot]

It's crazy how in the movie Jaws The Revenge they say he died of a heart attack because he was afraid of sharks. When he's killed two of them one in the first movie and another one in the second movie so if anything the 🦈 should be afraid of him as in telling their kids be good or Brody is going to come and get you.

[Juggler]

This had me laughing hard almost the whole time. One of the funniest CinemaSins videos I've ever seen. My favorite part was "driving/walking on the beach."

[tinybutmightycookie]

Love your singing about him driving then going near the water 🤣🤣🤣🍪

12:34 scuba diver here: that is in fact one of the ways to get in the water from a boat! You either roll backwards off the side (usually for smaller boats) or take a giant, Mario-esque stride off a platform/deck (usually larger boats).

00:11:17 "filthy paw sausages" to mean "dirty fingers" is now part of my permanent lexicon 🤣
