User Reviews

comprehensive documentary

This documentary created especially for the DVD version of JAWS 2 is an excellent source for information on the making of this moderately successful 1978 sequel. It is a shame, however, that the only cast member to give insight is Keith Gordon. It would have been nice to see Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, Jeffrey Kramer, Ann Dusenberry and others provide some comments as well. Still, director Jeannot Szwarc, producers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown and screenwriter Carl Gottlieb provide some excellent production stories to help make up for it. Grade : B
