Roy Scheider was VERY unhappy to be in this sequel, but he was under contract to Universal and was basically forced to do it. The actors say he pretty much kept to himself on this shoot, but was very professional when it was his turn and quite generous to his fellow cast members, even giving some of the younger stars acting pointers. Scheider liked working with Spielberg and Dreyfuss on the first film, but since this was basically a money grab by the studio, he knew they would not be involved and it irked him.
It's ok; Scheider did "All That Jazz" next, his greatest non-Jaws role/movie. He bounced back! (He also was in "Sorcerer" in '77 which was a huge bomb, but is considered a masterpiece now)
Aw he seems like just that type of guy honestly! That’s cool that he kept his professionalism, even though he didn’t want to make the film! Thanks for the info!! And watching along!
I’m so happy you reacted to this. Most YT reactors will watch the first Jaws film, but completely ignore the rest. I guess it’s because all but the first received poor reviews. I can understand why the third was disliked, even though I still enjoy it, but Jaws 4 is quite entertaining, while Jaws 2 is actually my favorite in the series. I guess it’s because, how the shark dies is absolutely epic. Plus, Donna Wilkes is such a fabulous actress. She truly is still the reigning ‘Scream Queen’, all thanks to this particular performance. My mom and I always got a kick out of her scenes. The reason why Jaws looked different later on was because his left side got burned during the boat explosion. You thought there might have been two sharks, but there was just the one.
Yes! I enjoyed this so much! I love to hear your thoughts and that you love this one the most. I’m happy I could react to it and add to the few TH-cam channels that have. I think everyone should continue the journey personally! Thanks so much for watching with me :)
No movie ever captivates me as much as the first Jaws, but for some reason, this one is my favorite of the series, I can't say why, there is just something about it
I was 7 or 8 years old when along with my best friend at the time we drew a picture book together that was based on the Jaws series. I specifically remember drawing the ending to Jaws 4 on it lol, ah those were the days.
For all the hate thrown at Mayor Vaughn in the first movie, in this movie there was a cut scene, we see the town council vote to fire Chief Brody. The council has many faces familiar from the 1st movie but there is only ONE person who votes NOT to fire Brody and that is Mayor Vaughn. He really was doing what the town wanted all along and appears to be the only person to have learned his lesson from 1975.
Yes! I loved the Mayor’s reactions in this. And to see more of the changes in his character. Even though he really wasn’t trying to do harm in the first. Thanks for telling me of the deleted scene!!
Hi Cami!🙂The last time I saw this I rented it on VHS in the 80s. Steven Spielberg did not return to make "Jaws 2". Yep, because they are on an island there are underwater power lines that go to the island to give them electrical power. Yeah, you could tell more in this film that it was a mechanical shark. Nice reactions to jaws 2, Cami!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"What's after Cable Junction?" "The Atlantic. Then Ireland." Fun Fact: On the Brody family front porch is a flower planter painted bright yellow. It is one of the barrels from the first Jaws (1975). Bruce Unbound Fact: Although the first film was commended for leaving the shark to the imagination until two-thirds of the way through, Jeannot Szwarc felt that they should show it as much as possible because the dramatic "first image of it coming out of the water" in the first film could never be repeated. Shark Weekend 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. Location Location Fact: The name of the small rocky island with an electrical relay station on it was "Cable Junction" island. This was actually a set that caused numerous problems during filming. The island was made from plastic / fiberglass material and was set on two barges. The surface of it was so slippery it was difficult to traverse it or even grab hold of it. This resulted in numerous retakes having to be shot, with actors slipping and falling off it constantly. Due to not being anchored properly, it once drifted away into the ocean, and the production had to go out and tug it back.
Lucy, the blond in the yellow top started bleeding as the sharks skin grazed her side. Sharks skin has dermal denticles that are sharp v shaped scales more like teeth than fish scales.
This movie often gets a bad rap, especially since it followed one of the greatest films of all time, but this was a quality sequel by all metrics. Brody being the sole force here, instead of the three of the original was great, as he kind of became Quint & Hooper all rolled in to one for this outing. While this movie didn't match the first, it was a quality effort all the same, and I would gladly recommend it to anyone as a movie worth watching.
33:43 Not shown in the reaction, but I love it when the Chief looks at his son, Chief: And YOU. Sean: They made me come with them. Chief: Sure they did.
This 🦈 Jaws shark is charred from the flame 🔥 when the woman accidentally lit herself and the boat on fire. Remember? It's also a unique way to distinguish this Jaws from the original. -OG
@Letstunein Excellent! Thanks very much, I'll look forward to it and sure will stay tuned - I'm subscribed and I yes I do indeed enjoy your reactions. And no problem at all, I'm glad to be here!
32:30 A shark's skin is very rough...like sand paper, so this girls just got a bad case of road rash on her stomach from the shark rubbing up against her.
Richard Dreyfuss was originally intended to be in the movie, but was busy doing "Close encounter of the third kind". They really went out of their way to bring the whole gang back together. Funny thing though, many years later Richard Dreyfuss made a cameo as an unnamed character, but is very clearly intended to be Matt Hooper, getting eaten in the opening scene of "Piranha 3D". Kind of a tongue in cheek reference - he survived "Jaws", but these horror comedy piranhas got him good 🙂That one's obviously not a GOOD movie per se, but hilariously entertaining. And not unintentionally either, it hits all the marks it's actually aiming for.
Remember seeing this as a kid and liking it but even then I knew it had nothing on the original , Cami is so gorgeous I'de watch her react to anything!😍
34:47 Yes there are 4 Jaws films...and TECHNICALLY the film "Piranha 3D" is a loose sequel as well. Richard Dreyfuss has a VERY small role in it as Matt and he's on his fishing boat drinking Amity Beer. LOL
@@jdogjohnson382 there's only one sequence I really like in the film. The slow reveal of the dorsal fin coming up in the marina at night. With all the rudders of the boats Turning in the current as the shark moved below. I thought that was really well executed. The film needed more of that energy. It felt too dumbed down
since Hooper was killed in the book that the original movie was based, it would have been awkward for him to be included in the 2nd, so they wrote him out of this by saying he was on the Aurora on the other side of the earth. Marge's death in this rivaled only Quints death as the saddest in the series. You could hear the fear in her voice when she was struggling to climb aboard.
As a kid this one terrified me more than the first. I think I was an 8yr old when I first saw it on TV and I could not sleep for months/ years. It is the acting of the two female leads that just got into my young head. THIS was what fear looked like, and I had trouble with open water my whole life. I have recently learned that sharks have no interest in eating people. There are videos of people in deep water helping sharks remove fish hooks from their mouths (some sharks leave and then bring back a hooked shark for assistance), and one video of a guy that had befriended a massive "man eater" who oved nothing more than nose roobs. They are deeply misunderstood and intelligent creatures. Donna Wilkes went on to star in a "only in the 80s" movie called Angel which was about a fifteen year old schoolgirl that moonlighted as a prostitute.
11:42 "Doesn't she know the history of the town?" That doesn't matter at all. Sharks aren't territorial. Sharks aren't migratory. At least, not in the sense that they follow a very specific pattern like deer do. There are hundreds of coastal beaches in the US that have never had a reported shark attack. There are hundreds that have had a reported shark attack (but that doesn't always mean a human was bitten, just attacked). There are only a few dozen beaches that have had more than 1 attack. There are only 5 beaches that have had more than 3 shark attacks. Ever. The real 5 towns on the top 5 list needed about a century to get there. Amity made the top 5 list in a little over a week. Of course, Amity isn't real and Jaws is a monster movie, not a shark movie.
just wait until you watch the 3rd and the 4th instalments of series. Jaws 3D btw. I like 2, it's a good sequel. The Marge death is my worst death in the series.....she did not deserve that
Jaws was that good it was always be impossible to beat that,i still think people just overlook this and think yeah it was alright but not as..,it's a good a wee movie on it's own 👍
Nice reaction. Jaws 2 gets some criticism but it's actually a solid sequel, even though nowhere near as great as Jaws. The main thing that bugs me is the switch in location. Though the town scenes were still filmed in Martha's Vineyard, the rest of it was filmed near Pensacola, Florida. The white sand beaches and turquoise waters are nothing like New England Amity Island we see in the first film. Cheers.
Also in the drunk scene after Brody is fired, Roy Scheider calls deputy Hendricks by his real name. Jeff. The actor's name is Jeffery Kramer. His character's name is Lenny Hendricks. A slight slip up from Roy, but they left it in😂.
@@lyndoncmp5751thanks for always joining me for these:) I’m glad you liked it!! And went back to hear him say Jeff! Lol That’s cool though actually, him being drunk makes it work!
@Letstunein You're very welcome. I enjoy your reactions. I wonder if Roy was REALLY drunk in that scene and that's why he slipped up and called him Jeff. Maybe. 😜
I have a book on the making of Jaws 2. It doesnt say anything about Roy getting drunk. I know Robert Shaw got drunk for the first attempt at the USS Indianapolis monologue in Jaws, so it was allowed sometimes, and Roy wasn't happy when making Jaws 2 as I'm sure you've been told. Cheers to you 🥂
I've always enjoyed Jaws 2 as much as the first one, while I have issues with the movie it has nothing to do with it being a sequel (plus I don't compare sequels to origonals anyway) and those don't ruin my overall enjoyment of it. To me it is one of those sequels that is different from the first but not straying too far from it which is a very hard balance to acheive with sequels. The music by John Williams is awesome and some of the scenes of the movie I love with the score includes the shark cruising into the harbour at night, the water skier attack and when the shark first attacks the group. The character moments were great as well such as Brody's ptsd, the relationships the teenagers have as they come together to survive especially after the helicopter scene.
Yes! I agree it has some great moments! Definitely should not get a bad rap. It doesn’t have all the magic from the first. But mainly because Spielberg was not apart. Still enjoyed this! We’ll see how the others go lol
22:33 "Now he's like in shock." Nope. He has the bends. This happens when divers go down more than about 10 meters then come back up too quickly. That guy panicked and shot to the surface way too fast. This causes air bubbles inside the body. These bubbles do all kinds of damage to internal tissues, including the brain. Mild cases might just cause joint pain, severe cases can lead to paralysis or death. Divers are trained to rise slowly from all dives. One good rule is that they should blow out air bubbles then make sure they rise slower than the bubbles do, but a much better rule is to rise a little, then stop for a while, then rise a little, then stop for a while. Divers call the rise/stop method "decompression stops" and any good diving instruction teaches this before anybody is allowed in the water. Guy saw a shark, panicked, and possibly killed himself shooting up to the surface like that. it's just about the only realistic part of the movie. Don't get me wrong, I love Jaws and Jaws 2, but I take them as monster movies with no more bearing on reality than a Godzilla movie.
That’s really cool! Thank you for sharing! I did not know that. I’m glad they kept the realism there. It’s funny what they do and don’t sometimes. Thanks for watching!
About Roy he was saddle to Jaws 2, at least the first ,2 by , Universal Pictures. Richard Dreyfuss wasn't, that also was he was, in demand, as he was doing Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you gotta see that classic, also he did Goodbye Girl. Also Stephen Spielberg didn't want to do anymore, also one of the Dorky Teen's, was Keith Gordon. He was the same at the Beginning of Stephen King's 1983 , Christine's, till the car , possessed him. He's the one with the Cap 🧢.
@@Letstunein , Yes Close Encounters is Amazing, also have you ever done Poltergeist Reactions,??? Another Stephen Spielberg Badass Film 📽️🎥, if you like Stephen Spielberg, also he did ,1971 Duel you, substitute the Shark 🦈 for a Truck 🚛🚒 Lol it's awesome 💯😎. Plus he also with other directors. , did 1983 Twilight Zone the Movie 🍿🎥.
Thank you for reacting to this one. It helps me to remember it. You've seen all that matter, 1 & 2. Jaws 3 is an ultra-gimmick cheesy 3D movie that was a joke but, if you want something to laugh at go ahead and watch that one if you want. and Jaws 4 was an absurd Shark Revenge story going after Chief Brody's wife, for some reason. I wouldn't bother with either of them. Just stick with The MEG!
Oh wow, well 3 and 4 are on the way soon! Im excited to have some laughs during the 4th. Everyone keeps saying how terrible it is 😂 Im glad you enjoyed this!!
In the original Jaws the shark due to mechanical failure kept it off camera. This one was shown right off the bat. It lacked the suspense level of the first movie. The shark's death was pretty good though. It is worth your time but I do prefer the original over this one.
In Jaws the mechanical shark was hidden by design for the first half of the film. It was never scheduled to be used for the beach attack scenes. Spielberg was a suspense director already.
The shark in the first film was kept off screen by good writing. Not Because it didn't work. It was revealed in the third act Because it was written that way. The fact it barely worked had nothing to do with that.
I enjoyed your reaction to this fantastic film. There haven't been too many for it, so many have been for the original. You were a little confused when you asked "Is that the same (Jaws 2) shark?" when it appeared if front of the lone scuba diver. It was the burn mark on the right side of it's head that made you wonder. The shark suffered that scar from the explosion after attacking the towboat driver, remember? Anyway, wonderful Reaction video. I will watch it again a few more times.
Yes!! You understood me! Thanks. I seriously thought they were trying to show how awful this new shark was . That they had attacked some other shark. Then I realized later in the film lol Thanks for the comment! And I’m really glad you enjoyed:)
Could an experienced water skiier zig zag sharp enough to avoid a shark swimming this fast? Come to think of it, how fast would a 30 foot Great White be swimming compared to smaller sharks? Would cornering be a problem for a shark that big?
Its the same shark, it didnt die in the explosion it only got burnt in the face. Also according to the novel this new Jaws shark is a female, the spouse of the first shark. I like Jaws 2 its still the best Jaws Sequel. It made more money than the first Jaws. Are you planning to watch Jaws The Revenge?
Yes 😂 lol didn’t even realize that it was the same shark from the explosion. That threw me off while watching the movie. I thought Jaws killed another shark! Thanks for the info about the shark being his spouse. 11:46 makes sense why he said this then! Also, I will most certainly be back for Jaws 4! Let’s see how it goes 🍿
@@Letstunein you thought Jaws killed another shark??? No that dead thing on the beach was an orca a.k.a. A Killer Whale. Also remember that Jaws The Revenge has 2 endings.
@@kevindavis296oh yeah! I know that one was a whale. I don’t think I was looking at the screen when it happened 22:00 I thought this was a dead shark. Because of the damage on him 😂 oops Jaws 4 has two endings! I did not know that. Thanks:)
the scene whee the scuba divers gets attacked by a shark is the same shark because when the poured the gas on herself and then the boat caught on fire the shark got burned before the boat exploded
Nice reaction, but the movie itself is..... I mean the shark takes down a helicopter easily, but can´t kill a bunch of screaming kids on small damaged boats?! 😂
Pretty lousy. Spielberg and Richard Dreyfuss didn't make the crappy "Jaws 2"....they made the 1977 masterpiece "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" instead. THAT'S what you want to watch. He hit 'em with "Jaws", then a second blockbuster "Close Encounters"....and that pretty much clinched the rest of his career, he was the "wonderboy", along with George Lucas (who had done "American Graffiti", then "Star Wars").
I still enjoyed, but I can definitely understand. The first is so incredible!! And I really need to watch Close Encounters! I absolutely LOVED the performances by Dreyfuss and others in the first!
Spielberg had offered to make a sequel that would have revolved around Quint and his experience on the Indianapolis (multiple sharks) but Spielberg was busy on another film and the studio didn’t want to wait until he was done so they threw this together quickly.
My thoughts are that this is not a bad sequel, those are down the line. This is very okay. The scares in this are a hundred times more frightening than in the first film and that helps it, especially when the shark get Margie. That was IMHO thee scariest scene of the whole movie. The problem with this film is that there aren't many characters to care about and teenagers are not interesting people. I should care about all the victims of this monster but I don't. Of all the victims in this one the only ones I do care about are Tina, the pilot and Margie and that's not enough for me.
Melanie: this is a bad sequel, someone needs to break the news to you. Perhaps your problem is that you don't know what a good movie looks like. "Jaws 2" is a pathetic, hilariously dopey, forgettable piece of garbage made for jackasses and suckers who never really understood what was great about the first one. "Jaws 2" is the beginning of an ATROCIOUS trend that continues to this day, as the movie biz got taken over by accountants and lawyers: FRANCHISES FOR THE BRAIN DEAD. Endless sequels and rehash for suckers too stupid to know they're being laughed at by the people who made the movies. You accept mediocrity like "Jaws 2", you're part of the problem. I saw "Jaws 2" when it came out and it was an instant dud. As if it could possibly be any good! When people like you defend shit work, you hold back all of humanity. GET SOME TASTE, Melanie, for once in your life.
I don't understand why you thought that was a different shark when it had the same burns and everything from the motorboat explosion. Or did you think it was the shark whose head was blown off at the end of the previous movie? No, this shark had a head so you didn't mean that. What _did_ you mean? The shark's scales scraped her skin, that's why she bled.
Oops yeah, I forgot that the shark got caught in the fire, when the boat blew up. So when I saw the mangled shark, I thought Jaws had attacked another shark. He’d gone extreme lol Thanks for the comment! And info about the scales!
Please 🥺🙏 , do part , 3 . Yes I know it's cheesy 😁🤣 to some, but, tell me and I have to spoil for her. Have you ever , and ,3 did it better, than ,1 , with Robert Shaw being eaten by the momma shark. To see the guy who played ,1980s Manimal being inside the Shark 🦈 being eaten alive and the camra,POV looking out, the Shark 🦈 mouth. With the Teeth Chomping him in half, plus his Torsel and top half steal sticking out at the end. Makes up for the cheese 🧀🍕. Between ,1983 Superman 3 , hell no, Halloween 3, yes it grown in a good way since,1983 . Amityville 3, well some of the effects are creepy, but Amityville,2 , the possession , beats all three, Amityville , Trilogies, whatever you do please do Amityville 2 for September and October., But for Jaws,3 watch it then judge, Jaws,4 ? Also please 🥺 do ,1983 Twilight Zone the Movie ,also, Stephen Spielberg , was one of the Director's 🍿🎥. But again, the Guy , who played in ,1980s ,Manimal, getting eating like a Potato 🥔🍠 Chip, and his moaning 😭😔, was scary intense 🤮🤢 as Shit 💩.
Ummm .. b/w Jaws 3 and 4, it almost sinks the franchise! I would suggest seeing Deep Blue Sea, The Meg or Open Water.... actually the Shallows is 2nd best shark movoe after Jaws....
The "franchise" was sunk as soon as they added a number to the title. It was a piece of crap that everyone knew was a piece of crap that second it came out.
I 1000% agree about “The Shallows” That is the 2nd best shark movie ever made. I would like to watch Deep Blue Sea again. Amelia will be watching that on the channel soon!!
I like this movie better than the first. 1. Eye candy. (both sexes) Especially Tina Wilcox/Ann Dusenberry.😍😋 2. I like the interaction between the kids. Except when they're stupid. The Helo sees you. No need to be attracting attention. 3. The woman in the boat at the beginning pouring gasoline on herself was stOOOOOOOOOpid X 100 4. The biggest mistake these people make is re-electing that idiot, Mayor. 5. "Elvis" is played by Keith Gordon. Two notable roles are Arnie in Stephen King's "Christine" and with Rodney Dangerfield in 'Back to School". 6. DON'T do the next one. Roy Schieder read the script and refused to play Brody. He didn't want to do this but was under contract. He behaved so badly that he got released for the third one. It's that bad.
Hi Cami. Im glad your interested in reviewing this and possibly the remaining Jaws sequels. Most viewers feel that only the second Jaws movie is worthy as a sequel to the original. I leave up to you to decide how you feel about the 3 Jaws sequels. Many things others have mention about the film in their comments are true. Making the second Jaws was difficult as making the first but with the added difficulty of telling a new story that equals the the 3 men onboard the Orca and the overall suspense and thrills of first. The prevailing wisdom about the sharks in jaws and its sequels is that they are all related and or family. According to Jaws folklore Bruce in Jaws is the mate of Jaws 2 also referred to by some as Brucettta. In Jaws 3 or Jaws 3d as the movie is sometime referred to the the shark is again called Bruccetta who has a baby shark of her own no apparent relation to the the first two Jaws sharks. Jaws 4 or referred to as Vengeance is the apparent offspring of Bruce and Brucetta from Jaws and Jaws 2. If you ant more info go to the website the daily jaws.com.
So interesting! Thanks so much for all this information! I’m watching 3 and 4 this week. So I can’t wait to continue with you all! I really enjoy hearing everyone’s thoughts on the movies!

I'd still take that old rubber shark over another computer simulation like you see in every other movie made now'adays.
Ditto! I’m all about the puppets and animatronics! Way better!
Lucy, the blond in the yellow top started bleeding as the sharks skin grazed her side. Sharks skin has dermal denticles that are sharp v shaped scales more like teeth than fish scales.
Ahh! Ok thank you! I was wondering what happened there!
I saw JAWS and JAWS 2 and JAWS 3D in theaters.

Chief Brody and the kids felt like having fried fish for dinner
Apparently! Good call on their part
26:10 The most chilling line in the whole film.
33:43 Not shown in the reaction, but I love it when the Chief looks at his son,
Chief: And YOU.
Sean: They made me come with them.
Chief: Sure they did.
This is a different shark. It's all jacked up because it was burned and cut up in the boat explosion that killed the waterski-ing driver.
Finally someone reacted to the second one.
This 🦈 Jaws shark is charred from the flame 🔥 when the woman accidentally lit herself and the boat on fire. Remember? It's also a unique way to distinguish this Jaws from the original. -OG

Richard Dreyfuss was originally intended to be in the movie, but was busy doing "Close encounter of the third kind". They really went out of their way to bring the whole gang back together.
Funny thing though, many years later Richard Dreyfuss made a cameo as an unnamed character, but is very clearly intended to be Matt Hooper, getting eaten in the opening scene of "Piranha 3D". Kind of a tongue in cheek reference - he survived "Jaws", but these horror comedy piranhas got him good 🙂That one's obviously not a GOOD movie per se, but hilariously entertaining. And not unintentionally either, it hits all the marks it's actually aiming for.
Remember seeing this as a kid and liking it but even then I knew it had nothing on the original , Cami is so gorgeous I'de watch her react to anything!😍
That’s very sweet of you! Thank you for the compliment!
@@Letstunein Absolutely, just a sweetheart.😘
it wouldn't be a jaws movie without the theme music
34:47 Yes there are 4 Jaws films...and TECHNICALLY the film "Piranha 3D" is a loose sequel as well. Richard Dreyfuss has a VERY small role in it as Matt and he's on his fishing boat drinking Amity Beer. LOL
A teen slasher flick. It could never recapture the magic of the first film
No but it's fun!
@@jdogjohnson382 there's only one sequence I really like in the film. The slow reveal of the dorsal fin coming up in the marina at night. With all the rudders of the boats Turning in the current as the shark moved below. I thought that was really well executed. The film needed more of that energy. It felt too dumbed down
You say "teen slasher" like it's a bad thing. That's just part of what makes Jaws 2 beautiful.
@@UltimateThanos I could never get in to Jaws 2. Its too dumbed down. And the shark looks bizarre.
22:10 Oh yeah, it was him alright. That mark on the shark's cheek was when got burned from the water skiing boat.
Ann Dusenberry's acting was so good as Tina.
since Hooper was killed in the book that the original movie was based, it would have been awkward for him to be included in the 2nd, so they wrote him out of this by saying he was on the Aurora on the other side of the earth. Marge's death in this rivaled only Quints death as the saddest in the series. You could hear the fear in her voice when she was struggling to climb aboard.
Sweet you did jaws 2 love that one sweet sweet sweeeeeeet
As a kid this one terrified me more than the first. I think I was an 8yr old when I first saw it on TV and I could not sleep for months/ years. It is the acting of the two female leads that just got into my young head. THIS was what fear looked like, and I had trouble with open water my whole life.
I have recently learned that sharks have no interest in eating people. There are videos of people in deep water helping sharks remove fish hooks from their mouths (some sharks leave and then bring back a hooked shark for assistance), and one video of a guy that had befriended a massive "man eater" who oved nothing more than nose roobs. They are deeply misunderstood and intelligent creatures.
Donna Wilkes went on to star in a "only in the 80s" movie called Angel which was about a fifteen year old schoolgirl that moonlighted as a prostitute.
If you like shark movies you can watch The Last Shark from 1981 it's based on Jaws, but have his moments and still can be entertaining.
11:42 "Doesn't she know the history of the town?"
That doesn't matter at all.
Sharks aren't territorial.
Sharks aren't migratory. At least, not in the sense that they follow a very specific pattern like deer do.
There are hundreds of coastal beaches in the US that have never had a reported shark attack.
There are hundreds that have had a reported shark attack (but that doesn't always mean a human was bitten, just attacked).
There are only a few dozen beaches that have had more than 1 attack.
There are only 5 beaches that have had more than 3 shark attacks.
Ever.
The real 5 towns on the top 5 list needed about a century to get there.
Amity made the top 5 list in a little over a week.
Of course, Amity isn't real and Jaws is a monster movie, not a shark movie.
just wait until you watch the 3rd and the 4th instalments of series. Jaws 3D btw.
I like 2, it's a good sequel. The Marge death is my worst death in the series.....she did not deserve that
Agreed, one of the most likable characters in the movie.
I’m also sorry to hear that the actor who played Sean recently passed away
I hated when that girl ended up getting eatin after saving John. Very tough to watch
Jaws was that good it was always be impossible to beat that,i still think people just overlook this and think yeah it was alright but not as..,it's a good a wee movie on it's own 👍
I enjoyed it!! I’ll take a shark movie any day!
Nice reaction. Jaws 2 gets some criticism but it's actually a solid sequel, even though nowhere near as great as Jaws.
The main thing that bugs me is the switch in location. Though the town scenes were still filmed in Martha's Vineyard, the rest of it was filmed near Pensacola, Florida. The white sand beaches and turquoise waters are nothing like New England Amity Island we see in the first film.
Cheers.
Also in the drunk scene after Brody is fired, Roy Scheider calls deputy Hendricks by his real name. Jeff. The actor's name is Jeffery Kramer. His character's name is Lenny Hendricks. A slight slip up from Roy, but they left it in😂.
@@lyndoncmp5751thanks for always joining me for these:) I’m glad you liked it!! And went back to hear him say Jeff! Lol That’s cool though actually, him being drunk makes it work!
@Letstunein
You're very welcome. I enjoy your reactions. I wonder if Roy was REALLY drunk in that scene and that's why he slipped up and called him Jeff. Maybe. 😜
@@lyndoncmp5751 lol maybe, he played it very well! I wonder if they ever allowed that back then. Also thank you!!!!
I have a book on the making of Jaws 2. It doesnt say anything about Roy getting drunk. I know Robert Shaw got drunk for the first attempt at the USS Indianapolis monologue in Jaws, so it was allowed sometimes, and Roy wasn't happy when making Jaws 2 as I'm sure you've been told.
Cheers to you 🥂
I've always enjoyed Jaws 2 as much as the first one, while I have issues with the movie it has nothing to do with it being a sequel (plus I don't compare sequels to origonals anyway) and those don't ruin my overall enjoyment of it. To me it is one of those sequels that is different from the first but not straying too far from it which is a very hard balance to acheive with sequels. The music by John Williams is awesome and some of the scenes of the movie I love with the score includes the shark cruising into the harbour at night, the water skier attack and when the shark first attacks the group. The character moments were great as well such as Brody's ptsd, the relationships the teenagers have as they come together to survive especially after the helicopter scene.
Yes! I agree it has some great moments! Definitely should not get a bad rap. It doesn’t have all the magic from the first. But mainly because Spielberg was not apart. Still enjoyed this! We’ll see how the others go lol
22:33 "Now he's like in shock."
Nope.
He has the bends.
This happens when divers go down more than about 10 meters then come back up too quickly.
That guy panicked and shot to the surface way too fast.
This causes air bubbles inside the body.
These bubbles do all kinds of damage to internal tissues, including the brain.
Mild cases might just cause joint pain, severe cases can lead to paralysis or death.
Divers are trained to rise slowly from all dives.
One good rule is that they should blow out air bubbles then make sure they rise slower than the bubbles do, but a much better rule is to rise a little, then stop for a while, then rise a little, then stop for a while.
Divers call the rise/stop method "decompression stops" and any good diving instruction teaches this before anybody is allowed in the water.
Guy saw a shark, panicked, and possibly killed himself shooting up to the surface like that.
it's just about the only realistic part of the movie.
Don't get me wrong, I love Jaws and Jaws 2, but I take them as monster movies with no more bearing on reality than a Godzilla movie.
That’s really cool! Thank you for sharing! I did not know that. I’m glad they kept the realism there. It’s funny what they do and don’t sometimes. Thanks for watching!
No way this one is better than the first one, but still a good movie, although in one shot the sharks dorsal fin bends sideways.
I believe it. This shark was a little wonky , which took some magic away for me. Still enjoyed it. But nothing with top the first!
About Roy he was saddle to Jaws 2, at least the first ,2 by , Universal Pictures. Richard Dreyfuss wasn't, that also was he was, in demand, as he was doing Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you gotta see that classic, also he did Goodbye Girl. Also Stephen Spielberg didn't want to do anymore, also one of the Dorky Teen's, was Keith Gordon. He was the same at the Beginning of Stephen King's 1983 , Christine's, till the car , possessed him. He's the one with the Cap 🧢.
I can see why he was in demand! He was my favorite character in the first one! I really do need to watch close encounters!!
@@Letstunein , Yes Close Encounters is Amazing, also have you ever done Poltergeist Reactions,??? Another Stephen Spielberg Badass Film 📽️🎥, if you like Stephen Spielberg, also he did ,1971 Duel you, substitute the Shark 🦈 for a Truck 🚛🚒 Lol it's awesome 💯😎. Plus he also with other directors. , did 1983 Twilight Zone the Movie 🍿🎥.
Keith Gordon in this reminds me of Adam Goldberg in Dazed And Confused.
Thank you for reacting to this one. It helps me to remember it. You've seen all that matter, 1 & 2. Jaws 3 is an ultra-gimmick cheesy 3D movie that was a joke but, if you want something to laugh at go ahead and watch that one if you want. and Jaws 4 was an absurd Shark Revenge story going after Chief Brody's wife, for some reason. I wouldn't bother with either of them. Just stick with The MEG!
An even more absurd movie than Jaws 4. LOL! :)
Oh wow, well 3 and 4 are on the way soon! Im excited to have some laughs during the 4th. Everyone keeps saying how terrible it is 😂 Im glad you enjoyed this!!
In the original Jaws the shark due to mechanical failure kept it off camera. This one was shown right off the bat. It lacked the suspense level of the first movie. The shark's death was pretty good though. It is worth your time but I do prefer the original over this one.
In Jaws the mechanical shark was hidden by design for the first half of the film. It was never scheduled to be used for the beach attack scenes. Spielberg was a suspense director already.
The shark in the first film was kept off screen by good writing. Not Because it didn't work. It was revealed in the third act Because it was written that way. The fact it barely worked had nothing to do with that.
I enjoyed your reaction to this fantastic film. There haven't been too many for it, so many have been for the original. You were a little confused when you asked "Is that the same (Jaws 2) shark?" when it appeared if front of the lone scuba diver. It was the burn mark on the right side of it's head that made you wonder. The shark suffered that scar from the explosion after attacking the towboat driver, remember? Anyway, wonderful Reaction video. I will watch it again a few more times.
Yes!! You understood me! Thanks. I seriously thought they were trying to show how awful this new shark was . That they had attacked some other shark. Then I realized later in the film lol Thanks for the comment! And I’m really glad you enjoyed:)
If you like Roy Scheider (chief Brody) I advice to you to see two William Friedkin's movies : French Connection and Sorcerer.
The Mechanical Shark looks better than the CGI Kindergarten Meg Shark.
Could an experienced water skiier zig zag sharp enough to avoid a shark swimming this fast? Come to think of it, how fast would a 30 foot Great White be swimming compared to smaller sharks? Would cornering be a problem for a shark that big?
❤n the screen play they were going to have it were the pilot survived and ended up saving Marge but they decided not to go that route.
Aw dang! They definitely went a different route with that one! Thanks for the info Amanda:)
Its the same shark, it didnt die in the explosion it only got burnt in the face. Also according to the novel this new Jaws shark is a female, the spouse of the first shark. I like Jaws 2 its still the best Jaws Sequel. It made more money than the first Jaws. Are you planning to watch Jaws The Revenge?
Yes 😂 lol didn’t even realize that it was the same shark from the explosion. That threw me off while watching the movie. I thought Jaws killed another shark!
Thanks for the info about the shark being his spouse. 11:46 makes sense why he said this then!
Also, I will most certainly be back for Jaws 4! Let’s see how it goes 🍿
@@Letstunein you thought Jaws killed another shark??? No that dead thing on the beach was an orca a.k.a. A Killer Whale. Also remember that Jaws The Revenge has 2 endings.
@@kevindavis296oh yeah! I know that one was a whale.
I don’t think I was looking at the screen when it happened 22:00 I thought this was a dead shark. Because of the damage on him 😂 oops
Jaws 4 has two endings! I did not know that. Thanks:)
13:00
it was the same shark. he got burned by the woman on the boat
the scene whee the scuba divers gets attacked by a shark is the same shark because when the poured the gas on herself and then the boat caught on fire the shark got burned before the boat exploded
Nice reaction, but the movie itself is..... I mean the shark takes down a helicopter easily, but can´t kill a bunch of screaming kids on small damaged boats?! 😂
So true! Their boats where so flimsy too. This shark either wasn’t as smart or bent on eating everyone like the first Jaws 😂
Also, thank you! :)
I always thought this was a solid sequel.
It really is!
Pretty lousy. Spielberg and Richard Dreyfuss didn't make the crappy "Jaws 2"....they made the 1977 masterpiece "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" instead. THAT'S what you want to watch. He hit 'em with "Jaws", then a second blockbuster "Close Encounters"....and that pretty much clinched the rest of his career, he was the "wonderboy", along with George Lucas (who had done "American Graffiti", then "Star Wars").
Its not lousy. It's pretty decent. I find CE3K very dated and somewhat pretentious. I used to like it. Not so much now.
I still enjoyed, but I can definitely understand. The first is so incredible!! And I really need to watch Close Encounters! I absolutely LOVED the performances by Dreyfuss and others in the first!
Great to see this reaction. Hope u do child’s play series
Oh man, those would definitely make me jump lol that doll running around 😬
@@Letstunein would be worth it though as since u have handled jaws so well the child’s play films should be a piece of cake
Spielberg had offered to make a sequel that would have revolved around Quint and his experience on the Indianapolis (multiple sharks) but Spielberg was busy on another film and the studio didn’t want to wait until he was done so they threw this together quickly.
Aw no!! That would have been amazing! I’m sad this didn’t happen . I wish he would come back to this and make another!
My thoughts are that this is not a bad sequel, those are down the line. This is very okay. The scares in this are a hundred times more frightening than in the first film and that helps it, especially when the shark get Margie. That was IMHO thee scariest scene of the whole movie.
The problem with this film is that there aren't many characters to care about and teenagers are not interesting people. I should care about all the victims of this monster but I don't. Of all the victims in this one the only ones I do care about are Tina, the pilot and Margie and that's not enough for me.
Melanie: this is a bad sequel, someone needs to break the news to you. Perhaps your problem is that you don't know what a good movie looks like. "Jaws 2" is a pathetic, hilariously dopey, forgettable piece of garbage made for jackasses and suckers who never really understood what was great about the first one. "Jaws 2" is the beginning of an ATROCIOUS trend that continues to this day, as the movie biz got taken over by accountants and lawyers: FRANCHISES FOR THE BRAIN DEAD. Endless sequels and rehash for suckers too stupid to know they're being laughed at by the people who made the movies. You accept mediocrity like "Jaws 2", you're part of the problem. I saw "Jaws 2" when it came out and it was an instant dud. As if it could possibly be any good! When people like you defend shit work, you hold back all of humanity. GET SOME TASTE, Melanie, for once in your life.
I don't understand why you thought that was a different shark when it had the same burns and everything from the motorboat explosion. Or did you think it was the shark whose head was blown off at the end of the previous movie? No, this shark had a head so you didn't mean that. What _did_ you mean?
The shark's scales scraped her skin, that's why she bled.
Oops yeah, I forgot that the shark got caught in the fire, when the boat blew up. So when I saw the mangled shark, I thought Jaws had attacked another shark. He’d gone extreme lol
Thanks for the comment! And info about the scales!
There's something going on with the audio in this one. During the quiet parts it sounds like your mic is rubbing up against something.
We did have an issue with that one! Sorry!
It wasn't too distracting...just the quiet parts when no one is speaking. All good.@@popcornroulettereactions
Not in shock, but suffering from the BENZ.
theres JAWS 3 to
Oh she was watched all the Jawses, haha
Please 🥺🙏 , do part , 3 . Yes I know it's cheesy 😁🤣 to some, but, tell me and I have to spoil for her. Have you ever , and ,3 did it better, than ,1 , with Robert Shaw being eaten by the momma shark. To see the guy who played ,1980s Manimal being inside the Shark 🦈 being eaten alive and the camra,POV looking out, the Shark 🦈 mouth. With the Teeth Chomping him in half, plus his Torsel and top half steal sticking out at the end. Makes up for the cheese 🧀🍕. Between ,1983 Superman 3 , hell no, Halloween 3, yes it grown in a good way since,1983 . Amityville 3, well some of the effects are creepy, but Amityville,2 , the possession , beats all three, Amityville , Trilogies, whatever you do please do Amityville 2 for September and October., But for Jaws,3 watch it then judge, Jaws,4 ? Also please 🥺 do ,1983 Twilight Zone the Movie ,also, Stephen Spielberg , was one of the Director's 🍿🎥. But again, the Guy , who played in ,1980s ,Manimal, getting eating like a Potato 🥔🍠 Chip, and his moaning 😭😔, was scary intense 🤮🤢 as Shit 💩.
Jaws 3 will be on the way!! Thanks for following me on the journey!!
@@Letstunein keep, em , coming, plus the suggestions when you are ready. And this is a subscriber , will stick, with you. Good Selections.,😃
Ummm .. b/w Jaws 3 and 4, it almost sinks the franchise! I would suggest seeing Deep Blue Sea, The Meg or Open Water.... actually the Shallows is 2nd best shark movoe after Jaws....
Deep Blue Sea is ridiculous. The SFX are worse than Jaws... and that was 1975!
The "franchise" was sunk as soon as they added a number to the title. It was a piece of crap that everyone knew was a piece of crap that second it came out.
@@TTM9691 Well, the shark did try in the 2nd one!
I 1000% agree about “The Shallows” That is the 2nd best shark movie ever made. I would like to watch Deep Blue Sea again. Amelia will be watching that on the channel soon!!
I like this movie better than the first.
1. Eye candy. (both sexes) Especially Tina Wilcox/Ann Dusenberry.😍😋
2. I like the interaction between the kids. Except when they're stupid. The Helo sees you. No need to be attracting attention.
3. The woman in the boat at the beginning pouring gasoline on herself was stOOOOOOOOOpid X 100
4. The biggest mistake these people make is re-electing that idiot, Mayor.
5. "Elvis" is played by Keith Gordon. Two notable roles are Arnie in Stephen King's "Christine" and with Rodney Dangerfield in 'Back to School".
6. DON'T do the next one. Roy Schieder read the script and refused to play Brody. He didn't want to do this but was under contract. He behaved so badly that he got released for the third one. It's that bad.
in a deleted scenes the mayor was the only one.. who voted against frying brody
You liked this better than the all time greatest horror movie
@@robogreek3157 Eye candy.
help me i can't get up
Hi Cami. Im glad your interested in reviewing this and possibly the remaining Jaws sequels. Most viewers feel that only the second Jaws movie is worthy as a sequel to the original. I leave up to you to decide how you feel about the 3 Jaws sequels. Many things others have mention about the film in their comments are true. Making the second Jaws was difficult as making the first but with the added difficulty of telling a new story that equals the the 3 men onboard the Orca and the overall suspense and thrills of first.
The prevailing wisdom about the sharks in jaws and its sequels is that they are all related and or family. According to Jaws folklore Bruce in Jaws is the mate of Jaws 2 also referred to by some as Brucettta. In Jaws 3 or Jaws 3d as the movie is sometime referred to the the shark is again called Bruccetta who has a baby shark of her own no apparent relation to the the first two Jaws sharks. Jaws 4 or referred to as Vengeance is the apparent offspring of Bruce and Brucetta from Jaws and Jaws 2. If you ant more info go to the website the daily jaws.com.
So interesting! Thanks so much for all this information! I’m watching 3 and 4 this week. So I can’t wait to continue with you all! I really enjoy hearing everyone’s thoughts on the movies!
