Movie Description Amity police chief Brody discovers that there's more than one fish in the sea--the great white shark he destroyed in the first film has a hungry mate ready to wreak havoc on the community. This action-packed sequel features the welcome return of Roy Scheider and Lorraine Gary reprising their roles from the original blockbuster that did for ocean beaches what PSYCHO did for showers.
Synopsis In this sequel to the 1975 blockbuster, police chief Martin Brody is once again concerned with a series of shark attacks. After four years of relative calm in the resort town of Amity, a great white shark is terrorizing teenagers, including his own son.
