Jaws 2

The great white spectre o' death returns to Amity Island, this time with some cool scars courtesy of a flare gun (because chicks dig scars). Chief Brody knows something's up, but no one wants to believe him. So it's not long before water-skiers, divers, pleasure boaters, and helicopter pilots are getting chomped down with a vengeance. The original Jaws was a masterful thriller, but Jaws 2 plays out more like a slasher film, with most of the shark's victims being horny teens. After directing Jaws, Steven Spielberg would go on to direct films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Raiders of the Lost Ark. After directing Jaws 2, Jeannot Szwarc would go on to direct films such as Supergirl and Santa Claus. 'Nuff said.
