Sean Brody, son of the police chief in the original Jaws, is attacked and killed by a great white shark. His mother is convinced the shark has a grudge against her family and looks to her other son Michael, a marine biologist in the Bahamas, for help. The shark follows! The first film was tense, exciting and credible, but by this time the series had gone soft in the head. How can Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gary) imagine a fish can hold a grudge? (Perhaps it swims along thinking 'that's the guy that harpooned my brother'! ). How did it find out that she was going to the Bahamas? Even assuming you swallow all this, the fish itself is obviouslt foam rubber. In what one can only assume was a moment of madness, weakness or financial necessity, Michael Caine consented to star in this waterlogged slog as a dissolute gambler who has taken a shine to the widow Brody. It was Lorraine Gary's first film for eight years - and her last to date.
