I've seen Jaws 2 numerous times but I never noticed the barrel. Great touch.
He did a brilliant job on Jaws 2, shame he didn't do 3 or 4 aswell as he knew exactly how to create tension and make shark scenes unlike anything in 3 or 4.....Eddie's death, marges death, water ski scene and more all fantastic set pieces
I'm glad you guys are helping give Jaws 2 it's due. It lives in the shadow of the original but it's a fantastic sequel. Thank you Jeannot Szwarc for a wonderful film. I don't watch Jaws 3 & 4, but I always watch Jaws 1 & 2, that first sequel fits right in. Thank you to The Daily Jaws for putting this together.
it made me appreciate Jaws 2 a lot
Absolutely brilliant interview
much respect to Jeannot, wonderful director and super nice man. Thank you sir, for Jaws 2. Thank you forever.
Top interview Ross.
I remember getting my hands on the JAWS 2 soundtrack before the film was released.
Excellent sequel, such an impossible task, with only a week's planning, to follow on from the original.
No Shaw, no Dreyfuss, more of the filming out on the ocean, we all know the problems that involved in the previous !
Spielberg 10 months away from taking the helm !
Would have been fascinating, which direction he would've pointed Brody in !
I have seen Jaws 2 dozens of times. I am 32 and I rewatched it yesterday while having a day off my studies and I have NEVER noticed the yellow barrel...
Have you noticed that the score for J2 is what Steven Spielberg originally intended for the first film, when he said that he wanted something elaborate, haunting and dream-like but instead got two notes? It’s like John Williams took Steven Spielberg’s original idea for the score and ran with it in part two.
Many many really good shots in JAWS 2. Excellent sequel imo. Jeannot did a great job and should be proud.
Schwarc is a gem!
Wonderful interview.
My wife and I watched the 4K disc of Jaws 2 last night. Any fan of the movie needs to pick it up, it looks and sounds brilliant. Even with the original Mono soundtrack, some of the bass drops in the soundtrack are amazing.
He did a great job. He absolutely did great work. It’s a movie that you can watch without having watched jaws. It stands alone as well as as a sequel
What a lovely man - also the great enthusiam and warmth of the interviewer.
Oh my god!! I'm one of those people that missed the barrel!! I've been obsessed with the films, especially 'Jaws 2', since I was 6 (45 now) and see it at least a few times each year and have never clocked the barrel at all...
Spectacular interview!
Brilliant chat with this great man.. he delivered a very good, exciting, enjoyable sequel under difficult circumstances with Joe and his team..
The Shark was an absolute mad man in this
I loved hearing that he and Roy worked it out. After hearing many of the interviews first, I just had the image that Roy was a bit of a diva (the perpetual tanning didn't help), but it is good to hear professionals figuring it out. Great interview! Love this channel and FB page.
Excellent interview. Jeannot Szwarc is an underrated director. I learned a great number of new things about Jaws 2. Great job, Ross.
Having been a huge Jaws 2 fan since catching the movie in the late 70s early 80s, it is awesome to see the movie getting the recognition it deserves. On a side note, your interviews are stellar. Excellent questions and understanding of timing and responses……..subscribed
Thank you so much for the feedback and sub! We drink to your legs!
You did a brilliant job directing Jaws 2, Jeannot, especially considering the time constraints and technical difficulties. If I were a director, the only thing I would've done differently is show the shark's snout less (it looked fake)--I just would've shown the fin, the body, mayhe a flash cut of the teeth, relying instead on the shark's POV to John Williams' thump thump theme. When you did that, it was just as terrifying as anything Spielberg did in the original Jaws!
Jaws 2 is a very underrated film! I actually think that Marge's heartbreaking death is also one of the most gruesome in the series next to Quint's! Jaws 2 has some incredible scenes and great acting! Jeannot Szwarc is still very sharp and by all accounts, an incredibly delightful man to speak to!!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for all the videos Ross, I'm a big fan of the jaws franchise for over 40 years. Enjoy every video on daily jaws, well done mate! Can't wait for Jaws 2 4k to be release next month
Jaws 2 was my favorite growing up.. 💯
I recently got the Jaws 2 steelbook and watched the film and I was really astounded by how much shark action there is compared to the original; I think my favorite aspect of jaws 2 is the score.
Stellar work on all of these interviews! This is just amazing. 🦈
Great interview. Jaws 2 is an awesome film despite the challenges. Have always loved it.
Somewhere in Time Is An Underrated Movie, Very Good Time Travel Love Story ❤
Great work guys! So wonderful to see Mr Szwarc telling his stories about his JAWS 2 masterpiece! A.
Brilliant interview, covering all the most interesting aspects from the shooting of Jaws 2. I never understood why some people trashes this film when I totally loved it since the premiere. Like you said guys the original and part 2 are two very different films but both great. Spielberg did a masterpiece but Jeannot Swarc did a great summer thriller film that personally I've rewatched more times than the original. And that speaks volumes. I also prefer John Williams' score for part 2 than the original.
Can't wait for the 4k release coming soon. Let's pray Universal treated the upgrade as the movie deserves.
I love all of his movies, and most especially Somewhere in Time and Jaws2. Great interview! Made my day!
Wonderful sequel! Preferable to Jaws thanks to Jeannot!
You created nightmare fuel with the Marge death.
Merci monsieur!
What a dear man!
The reason why Dreyfuss didn't do jaws 2 is because he was making close encounters

What a great series of interviews!!
It’s Great that you were able to talk with Jeanott Szwarc about this movie after 45 years!
There are several great shark movies created since JAWS and JAWS2 but these two are the ones that ALWAYS have me coming back to watch since their release! In fact, I just watched them both back to back on ON DEMAND!!! 👍👍👍👍
Great interview. Thank you! I also remember seeing a version of the film where we see Marge being swallowed by the shark right as the commercial break happens. Cant find that footage anywhere but glad its not just me who remembers that.
I'm sure I've seen a version where Marge gets swallowed or her legs are bitten off after the shark attack
Fantastic guys and so grateful for these interviews.
What a great interview! Great guy and wonderful director. Having loved Jaws 2 since I saw it in the theaters in 78, I just noticed the yellow barrel planter when I watched it again last week.
Great interview, he seems like such a nice guy
Somewhere in Time ..One of the most beautiful films ever made .
I can’t belive how old he is omg
Would love for someone to do a recent interview with Jeannot Szwarc for Supergirl.
Brilliant interview series. Love this film
jaws 2 was the first movie i saw in a theater when i was 6 yr old . my dad took me to see it when it was re released in theaters in 1980
He Also Directed Supergirl and Various T.V. Episodes!
Jaws 2 is a good thriller ... There was no way to top the first film, but Jaws 2 proved that sequels could still be good and profitable. It is still one of my favorites from the 70s.
The other deleted (but filmed) sequence was the coastguard helicopter pilot getting grabbed underwater with the shark working. This made it to international TV syndication releases and made it onto youtube. I prefer the original ominous cut-away of, did he drown or was he eaten eaten fate? As the Director said your imagination, and certificate, makes the scene worse, especially as a child.
Jaws 2 is an absolute classic, and what could have been a complete disaster, still stands up as one of the best sequels of all time.
So awesome!!❤❤
hi jeannot i am a huge fan your career is so tremendous too bad you didn't directing show like supergirl
Dayum Brother,with all these nrew posts coming out,"We're gonna need some bad hat Harry"...
Was only one jaws film but always enjoyed seeing the sunken orca
I watched since age 4. Many many years ago! I love sharks! I’ve always been a big fan. I would cry every time the shark died 🤷♀️
I didn't quite catch the part about where he was worried about Murray Hamilton. Was he ill or struggling with something else. Obviously Murray sadly died in 1986.
Brilliant👍👍
It's not a good film , it's a great film and did as well as can be expected following a behemoth movie phenomenon that's greater than great
Don't forget Spielberg too didn't go to film school
love the way he says "ju-Alls" 😁
Not a shark film but The Deep is an excellent watch. Also reminds me I had Jaws 2 trading cards back when it came out originally!
Supergirl(1984) is my favorite movie. I am not ashamed to say so. The French title for Jaws 2 almost sounds like "poop".
Les Dents de La Mer Deaux! 😂
Made an awesome sequel, when you consider what he had to overcome. It is not the masterpiece that the first one is (especially when you consider what Spielberg had to overcome to make it), but is a really good movie on it's own. it is leaps and bounds better than either 3 or 4- the worst movie in the history of supposed A-list movies.
I think he's taken far too much flack for this movie because I get the sense he's had to defend his craft. This is unnecessary and now I find he felt like he had imposter syndrome but he is one of those rare gems that will work to prove that pure determination can be more useful than standard education.
Working in the water is very unpredictable so he deserves full credit for pushing forward with his own vision.
My older brother and his girlfriend took me to see Jaws 2 when I was 10. I prefer this film to the original because the kids were so similar to my brother and his friends in such a naturalistic way that it brings back really fond memories.
I also find Richard Dreyfuss annoying. I wish Quint had survived instead of him.
What about bug with Mr.bradford dillman a great movie ❤
Wish you had asked Jeannot about WHY did he cut the underwater scene of the shark attacking the chopper pilot? I heard it was to get a PG rating, but it wasn't even that scary a scene. Quint's death was 100x scarier and bloodier than that one.
The one comparable scene to the pilot scene from the first movie is probably the shark cage scene with Hooper fighting the shark.
As the years have gone by jaws 2 comperrd to today's rubbish.
Jaws 2 is a fine film.
I AM A MASSIVE jaws fan. Nothing toucges the original. But I do love Jaws 2. It stands brilliantly just under the original. I also love Somewhere in time. So much so our daughter is named Elise. The connections between Jaws 2 is beautiful. Jeanot directing, Susan French was older Elise. And Verna Fields had gone from Oscar winning editor to a very high up position at Univeral. She helped Jeanot push & get that favour from Jaws 2.
The movie wasn’t bad. But the stuff with the kids and their teen drama bored me. Roy Scheider carried this film.

HE DID A PASSABLE JOB ON THE SEQUEL HE DID A GREAT JOB
The shark scenes in Jaws 2 deliver the goods I like the ending of Jaws. 2 totally electrifying HA! Pardon the pun a great sequel.
I honestly think Jeannot did not know what you were talking about when you asked about the yellow barrel outside the Brody's house. Look at his face and listen to him when you ask. He not only doesn't remember it but he doesn't remember the significance of it. It was probably a touch added by Joe Alves. I think you might have reminded/explained to Jeannot its significance of the yellow barrels o the first JAWS film to help him remember it. Otherwise, another brilliant interview in this series!
