Jaws II

                                                                

 

      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!

 

Four years after the events of the first film two divers discover the wreck of the Orca. As they celebrate and take photographs, they are attacked and killed by a great white shark. One of the divers manages to take a couple of snaps as the shark approaches. Police chief Martin Brody (yep he's still around) becomes suspicious with the disappearance of a water skier and the explosion of her boat, along with its driver, and the discovery of a beached Orca bearing large wounds that he guesses were caused by a shark.......and so the nightmare begins again.

Brody's suspicions are unwelcomed by the select men at a time when the town is enjoying a revival in its tourist industry. From an observation tower, he believes that he sees the shadow of a large shark approaching the bathers. He orders everyone out of the water, brandishing his gun, creating undue upset and panic.....yet the shadow turns out to be a shoal of blue fish.

Later that night, he acquires prints from the diver's camera showing close ups of the sharks' head. Brody's attempt to present this evidence of the shark's presence to the selectmen is hampered by the ambiguity of the photographs. Although Brody "knows what a shark looks like because he has seen one up close", developer Len Peterson suggests that seaweed could be the problem, or something in the lens." Angry with his performance on the beach, they vote to fire Brody from his job.

Meanwhile a group of teenagers, including Brody's two sons, Mike and Sean and the mayor's son Larry, go on a sailing expedition. They soon encounter the shark, which disables most of their boats and manages to kill some of the youths. A small rescue helicopter is dispatched to tow them, but the shark attacks that, overturning it and drowning the pilot....it seems that the shark is after revenge.....and Brodie's kids are the main target!!! Brody rushes to the aid of his sons.....but will his luck run out.....
