It's been four years since that
marauding great white shark terrorized the small summer resort town of Amity,
but the scars remain — on the residents as well as on the town itself. So when
Police Chief Brody gets word that a luxury boat, from which two men had been
skin-diving, has been found drifting in the main channel, with no trace of what
happened to its occupants, the report triggers a fear in Brody's mind — one
that has come up everytime there has been a similar incident during the past
four years. Many of Brody's associates feel that he's paranoid on the subject
of sharks. And maybe he is. But it happened once — and the shark he destroyed
wasn't the only one in the ocean! Brody continues his investigation, not yet
aware that it will lead him to an excruciating race against time and an
incredibly suspenseful rescue mission — when this new great white shark attacks
ten sailboats manned by teenagers, including his own two sons!
COPY B
The same heart-stopping suspense and
gripping adventure that enthralled movie audiences throughout the world in Jaws
returns in this sequel. Roy Scheider, the hero of Jaws, reprises his role as
the small-town police chief more concerned with saving his fellow townspeople's
lives than their financial security. Lorraine Gary is again his patient wife
and Murray Hamilton is still the myopic mayor of Amity. Producers Richard
Zanuck and David Brown, director Jeannot Szwarc and a fine crew of special
effects men help to make Jaws 2 a worthy sequel to a film classic.
