20 Best Movie Taglines Of All Time
3. Jaws 2
The tagline: ‘Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…’
Jaws, the 1975 film that pretty much invented the blockbuster, catapulted a young Steven Spielberg to global fame and indirectly had a dramatic effect on the global shark population, is the very definition of a film that doesn’t need a sequel. So naturally there were three, and each one worse than the last.
Which is almost something of an achievement in itself, because Jaws 2 is not a good film, not even close. But Jaws made more money at the box office than any movie before it, and Universal set an unfortunate cash-in trend that continues to this day by greenlighting a sequel that would see another great white terrorise the shores of Amity Island.
It’s probably no exaggeration to say the tagline for Jaws 2 is the single best thing about any of the sequels. Jaws 19 looks promising though.
