Manage episode 438966222 series 3439386
"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?
