Jaws 2 (Shark Film Sequel)

[Blumf]

D'ya remember when Spielberg edited ET to replace all the walkie-talkies with sharks?

[Shit Good Nose]

And then he re-replaced them with dildos.

I have completely merged Jabberjaw with the other cartoon shark (Mr Jaw?)

Misterjaw (sometimes also referred to as Mr Jaw, Supershark).

Universal Studios in Florida used to have a really good Jaws ride,  a boat tour where you'd see a sinking ship like yours, then a bunch of attacks on your boat by an animatronic shark, and then a big finale with petrol tanks exploding and the shark getting electrocuted to death like in Jaws 2.

The actor playing the boat's captain is really annoying in this video, but its pretty good at showing you the highlights.

The ride's gone now, sadly. Replaced by a Transformers ride in a suitable metaphor.

In fact, my boring Jaws 2 story is that, for years, I was convinced the tv broadcasts had cut a scene where the fried shark lunges out at them again, until one day i watched a youtube video of that Florida ride and realised I was remembering that instead.

Well my boring Jaws 2 story is that I associate Jaws with the taste of spicy tomato, and Jaws 2 with turquoise and barbecue beef.


Beat that!

Jaws 2 is pickled onion(not as good), Jaws 3D is prawn cocktail (an abomination, but Skips were alright) and Jaws The Revenge 4 is like a pack of Mango Chutney flavour crisps (no need to exist.)

[kalowski]

If you'd have asked me a couple of years ago I'd have said Jaws 2 was pretty good. But I saw it on TV recently and realised it was fucking awful.

Sharks have anything from 2 to 15 rows of teeth (not all in place simultaneously, the back ones come forward when the front ones fall out from eating frozen Snickers). Logically the films should have been titled like Jaw 2 Row 4, and similar, like Twilight IV Part 2.

I can't make my mind up as to whether he sounds more like a like an exasperated Jerry Seinfeld or a camp Marty McFly.

Well you have to pick one.

I was wondering which Jaws this was and it's 4. 4!

[Keebleman]

I saw Jaws 2 in the cinema.  I was only 9 so hadn't seen the first movie.  I'm not sure if Jaws 2 was the first time I had heard the word 'shit' but I certainly had never heard it used so much.

(NB I mean used by the characters in the film, not by my fellow patrons in the cinema.)

Jaws does have this inexplicable deleted scene.

That's gold! He's like "why'd you stop?"

I don't really want to watch a film called Jaws 2 that is a sequel.  I feel like I want to see the first Jaws 2, please.


Please direct me to a film called Jaws 2 where I am not already missing the first part of the story.

[Blumf]

Well, how are you spelling that? 'Jaws To', 'Jaws Too', or 'Jaws Tu'? Because they're all very different films!

My granddaughter calls the film Cars 2 "2 Cars" despite it being composed almost entirely of cars.

I think that Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List should have titled Jews, as a homage to Jaws.

Given the same approximate period of time separates the first and last Jaws films as does Schindler's List and Munich, does that make the latter Jews: The Revenge?

What could Amistad have been called?

What could Amistad have been called?

Oof, tricky one.  Umm... "Hawse"?  Might be a fair few disappointed cinema goers, mind.

Incidentally; Saving Private Ryan is "Wars".

Shaving Ryan's Privates:  "Warts"

The novelisation includes plot details from the original shooting script (dodgy aldermen dealings ["ROBERT! ROBERT!!!!!"] with the mafia to get a casino built in order to turn around the town's fortunes etc) and also contrives why it's happening again (Jaws 2 is pregnant with Jaws 1's baby).  It has quite a strong following of people who think it's better than the film.  Been a LONG time since I read it, but I certainly preferred it over Benchley's original, which I still think is absolute dog shit.

Genuinely brilliant reading, though, is The Jaws 2 Log, and the story behind that is interesting in itself - written by a journeyman entertainment freelancer, who was originally sent to location to do some basic interviews with lead cast and crew which would have ended up in a number of entertainment magazines.  Ended up staying for the duration of the shoot and recording the highs and lows of the whole production.

The novelisation also has a section from the POV of a Navy SEAL-trained porpoise.

Is The Revenge the one where Jaws the shark goes on holiday to the Caribbean?

'Frankly if we are going to get Jaws The Shark, this boat is too little'

Great line, not sure where it's from.

Yep and they kill Jaw by putting a shaken can of Lilt in his gob and shooting it.

I love the tagline. Just when you thought that there wasn't any danger in going back into the ocean again after what happened last time.
