While none ever came close to the first film\u2019s success, the diminished returns, both critically and commercially, should be studied for how badly they were mishandled.

That may work for the Sharknado franchise, but not a Jaws film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Back in Amity Island, Lorraine Gary returns as Ellen Brody, now widowed after Martin\u2019s passing. Believing her late husband\u2019s heart attack was tied to shark-induced PTSD, Ellen is horrified when her son Sean (Mitchell Anderson) is killed by a great white shark resembling Martin\u2019s old nemesis.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Shaken, she lashes out at her other son, Michael (Lance Guest), who\u2019s headed to the Bahamas for his marine biology research. Despite swearing she\u2019ll never go near water again, the next scene shows her on a ferry.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Slasher Rules Applied To The Premise<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Great whites avoid warm water, but not in <em>Jaws: The Revenge<\/em>.
