from Review It Yourself
"I'd award [the shark] an assist... I do not watch a Jaws film to have people NOT killed by sharks"-Paul on the inefficient shark in this film."More of the same, just sh*tter"-Sean on the Jaws sequels.Paul from History Rage returns to join Sean, and they begrudgingly continue their journey through the Jaws film franchise.Brace Yourselves, it's Jaws 2 (1978).Will Sean and Paul be impressed or unimpressed with the film?Discussion Points:-Sean thinks he will be the positive one but it doesn't last long.-Paul is disgusted by the lack of character development.-The defence of Mayor Vaughn returns.-The lack of blood in this film.-The shark claiming 'assists'.-The insanity of pointing directions at sea.-The confusing age of the characters, it's only been four years!-The depiction of trauma in the Tina character.-The beach scene. -The strange use of John William's Jaws 2 score.-The deleted scene between Brody and Mayor Vaughn and how impactful that would have been.-PG-13 was brought in, not for ET (1982) but in 1984 after films like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins and Poltergeist created the desire for a new rating.Raised Questions:-Where the hell do you start with Jaws 2?-Is Jaws 2 "100% unbridled sh*te"?-How does the Jaws lower the bar at every turn?-How did every film in the Jaws franchise make a profit?-How impressive is the Amity Tourist Board?-How do they miss that lighthouse?-How many Jaws 2 characters can you name?-Why is the shark so poor at hunting?-Did they not have Roy Scheider available for parts of the film?-Why are there 22 minutes of shots of sailing boats sailing?-When a tagline of a film is infinitely more memorable than the actual film, how good is it?Thanks for Listening!
