Four years have gone by since that terrible incident with the great white terrorising locals on the Island beach in Amity and people think that things are back to normal. Mayor Larry (Murray Hamilton) is welcoming developer Len Peterson (Joseph Mascolo) and his new resort to Amity.
Many of the people are surfing, waterskiing and scuba diving at the beach.
However, the Police Chief named Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) who survived and killed that great white is still cringing that there's another one in the water somewhere.
His oldest son Mike (Mark Gruner) is going through his teenage phase and hangs out with his friends by going out sailing.
Suddenly a bunch of people are attacked and getting killed by a new great white in the area and Martin tries to keep his son away from the beach by trying to keep him busy with other work.
One morning Mike sneaks out with his younger brother Sean (Marc Gilpin) to go sailinjg with his friends.
Some of Mike's friends become a victim for the great white and suddenly Sean and Mike's other friends are trapped and being terrorised.

Lots of sequel don't meet up to the first one and nowhere is good.
Although this doesn't really meet up to Spielberg's orginal it's still very good and clever too.
Lots of great action in the film with the great white which will keep you glued to the set.
Also, watch the shark attack a helicopter. It's insane!

The acting is very good but not as good as in the first film.
Lots of young actors perform in the film as they all do well being typical teenagers.
A supporting actress is great when she is found hiding in the boat after a shark attack screaming SHARK! to the people who found her.
Of course Roy Scheider is still marvellous like in the previous film.

Jeannot Szwarc doesn't mweet up to Spielberg but of course not many can.
He still does a fine job. Especially the camera shot of the shark swallowing up a person skiboarding in the water and has excellent shots of the shark circling and attacking the people it has cornered in the middle of the ocean.
He directed terrific reactions to people when they are attacked too.

John Williams is back once again with his classical composing for this one as the film would never be the same without him. Nuff said.

Mrs. Taft: Good morning. Selling some more of the good life?
Ellen Brody: Oh, yeah... Piece of this, piece of that - it all adds up.
Mrs. Taft: Your husband's been here all morning. What's he doing?
Ellen Brody: His job.

Ellen Brody: That's your third smoke already!
Martin Brody: [complacent] Good coffee...
Ellen Brody: Try a donut.

Andy Williams: Did your mom put all this together?
Mike Brody: Yeah, it's her job.
Andy Williams: Did she make the punch?
Mike Brody: No.
Andy Williams: [throwing it back in the bowl] Good, it's terrible!

Martin Brody: Oh, Hendricks, good! Right this way. Excuse us, please. I want you to come in here and, er, check out this 908.
Hendricks: What the hell's a 908? I've never heard of a 908!
Martin Brody: 908 means get me outta there!

Phil Fogarty: I can't watch a ball game anymore, I can't watch the news anymore! I can't even watch a movie! All I hear is that damn kid and his damn radio going "Breaker, Breaker, Breaker"!
Martin Brody: Well, I'll see what I can do, but remember, it's under federal jurisdiction.
Phil Fogarty: So call the FBI!

Mayor Larry Vaughn: Brody is riding his tower.
Len Peterson: Oh, shit!

Tina Wilcox: ...Now I'm getting black and blue marks all over my butt, and my moms starting to get uptight about them!

[looking for a dance]
Timmy: Who are you going to ask next?
Doug: Tina Wilcox.
Timmy: Ed's girlfriend... You're crazy!
Doug: It doesn't hurt to ask. Sometimes the most beautiful girls are the loneliest.
Timmy: That's a crock of shit!
Timmy: I know!

Martin Brody: Better check the bite radius.
Dr. Elkins: The what?
Martin Brody: The shape of the mouth...
Dr. Elkins: Whales mouth?
Martin Brody: Shark's mouth.
Dr. Elkins: What shark?
Martin Brody: The shark that did this.
Dr. Elkins: We don't know that, do we?
Martin Brody: But we're here to find out!
Dr. Elkins: And we will.
Hendricks: I can't hear you if you're going to whisper!

Martin Brody: I mean, it's obvious that a big fish took a bite out of... this big fish.
Dr. Elkins: This is a mammal. Not a fish.
Martin Brody: Don't quibble with me! Is it a shark bite or isn't it?
Dr. Elkins: Possibly. Again, this is a killer whale, wouldn't have to be a shark a considerable size.

Martin Brody: You don't have to worry about being sued or being ruined if this turns out to be what I think it is, because there won't be anybody here!

Martin Brody: But I'm telling you, and I'm telling everybody at this table that that's a shark! And I know what a shark looks like, because I've seen one up close. And you'd better do something about this one, because I don't intend to go through that hell again!

Martin Brody: That boat's gonna take you in. Where the hell are they?
Hendricks: About ten degrees off your starboard bow. You take...
Martin Brody: Don't give me that shit, point!

Martin Brody: I think we've got another shark problem.
Mayor Larry Vaughn: Are you serious?
Martin Brody: You bet I'm serious.

Len Peterson: Brody, this is nothing! Seaweed, mud, something on the lens...
Martin Brody: Lens my ass!
Len Peterson: You're damn right it's your ass!

Helicopter Pilot: That you, Brody?
Martin Brody: Listen, did you have a fix on those kids yet?
Helicopter Pilot: Negative - I'm still down.
Martin Brody: Well, you'd better get the hell up because, I'm out here all alone!

[after Brody has been fired]
Martin Brody: Maybe they're right... I'm tired... I'm tired... Too damn tired...
Ellen Brody: Too damn drunk. That's what you are, too damn drunk.

[Hendricks and Red are dragging the ocean in the police launch]
Red: We've been over this a dozen times.
Hendricks: I know, I know!
Red: How much longer?
Hendricks: Until we find something!
Red: But I'm cold, bored...
Hendricks: You're bored!

[the launch snags a power line]
Red: Oh, shit! Drop it!
Hendricks: Wh- What is it?
Red: Drop it! It's a power line!
Hendricks: Oh, terrific!

[as the shark approaches Brody]
Martin Brody: Alright, you big bastard! Come On! I've got something for ya' now! That's it! Attaboy, come one! Right over here!
