Synopsis
The small resort town of Amity is poised for an economic comeback after becoming known as the location of vicious shark attacks. But at the same time that the Mayor is welcoming a real estate developer to Amity, the shark attacks begin again. The incidents are dismissed as accidents, but Sheriff Brody knows better. The town ignores his warnings and proceeds with the teen sailing regatta, with deadly consequences.

Trivia
Original director John D. Hancock was fired and replaced by Jeannot Szwarc.
Steven Spielberg and Richard Dreyfuss were approached to direct and star in the sequel but production on Close Encounters of The Third Kind (1977) was running behind and they declined to participate.
On the Brodys' front porch is a flower planter painted bright yellow. It is one of the barrels from the first Jaws (1975).
In one of the boat scenes a young man is seen reading a book; Jaws by Peter Benchley.
In France, Jaws had been released as "Les Dents de la mer", roughly translated to "The Teeth Of The Sea". Jaws 2 had to be re-titled at the last minute when director Jeannot Szwarc pointed out that the original title, "Les Dents de la mer, Deux" sounded like the French for "The Teeth Of The Sh*t".
In the final draft of the script, Marge and the helicopter both survive their shark attacks by hiding in the bubble of the upturned helicopter. They are last seen arriving at cable junction and presumably survive the film.
