Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… Jaws 2 surfaces from the deep with even more terror and suspense! The resort town of Amity is still recovering from the events of Jaws four years earlier when Police Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) receives disturbing news of fresh attacks. As Brody tries to convince the locals of the nearby threat, his own teen son ignores the warnings and braves the waters with a group of naive friends. From Academy Award®-winning producer Richard D. Zanuck (Deep Impact, Planet of the Apes) comes this terrifying second chapter of the film franchise that continues to keep audiences out of the ocean.

Critics Consensus: Jaws 2 never approaches the lingering thrills of its classic predecessor, but it's reasonably entertaining for a sequel that has no reason to exist.

Reviews

Nashville Scene

Jason Shawhan

Jaws 2 (1978) is a superb slasher movie...

A fairly decent sequel...

By telling the same story again (and with a weighty two-hour running time), it merely reinforces the notion that Spielberg's vision was comprehensive and complete.

Jaws 2 manages to entertain and scare. At the end of the day, isn't that what it's all about? [Full Review in Spanish]

Doesn't have Spielberg's storytelling elegance or sense of pacing, but by pretty much any measure Jaws 2 is a solid adventure yarn
