However much of a classic Steven Spielberg's original Jaws is, many will admit Jaws 2 raised the stakes big time. The shark is far scarier and much more brutal this time around. The final moments of the film finds our hero, Police Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) coming head to head with the killer fish (or mammal, whatever). Brody comes to the aid of a group of teens being confronted by the shark. He tries to tie a rope line, but snags an underwater power cable instead. Most of the teenagers are tossed into the water during the shark's attack, and barely make it to safety. Using an inflatable raft, Brody gets the shark's attention by hammering the power line with an oar (thus creating a rhythmic pulsation under the water), and gets the shark to bite the power cable. The shark gets electrocuted, then sinks to the bottom of the sea. You have to admit; this is way more epic than the original. The electric shock causes the shark's head to catch fire and he really gets what he had coming to him. Yeah, that'll teach that shark not to behave exactly as a shark would!
