Synopsis:

JAWS 2 - Extended with every last scrap of analog and digital deleted footage available.

Intentions:

To keep available rare deleted footage from JAWS 2 that has yet to be officially released.

Change List:

Additions: From Official Releases: 1) Martin drives Ellen to work and ends up giving her boss (Len Peterson) a ticket for illegal parking - after two previous warnings. 2 )After grounding Michael, Brody & Ellen have an extended dialogue scene which ends with him hiding his gun and poison-tipped bullets in the bathtub. 3) After Brody’s showing of the photograph - taken by the two missing divers - Peterson and the selectmen vote him out, with only the Mayor showing support for Brody. 4) Underwater attack on the helicopter pilot by the shark. From the TV Version: 6) Extra scenes at the opening of the HOLIDAY INN - Ellen tells a waitress to smile and look cute. Peterson tries to cut in when Brody & Ellen dance. 7) Extended scenes at the police station - Polly the secretary (recast) has some dialogue. 8) After the incident at the beach, Peterson convinces the Mayor to have a meeting with the selectmen, to vote Brody out of his job. From the Original Brazil CIC VHS Release: 9) Hendricks, Red & divers recover the camera at the last known location of the two missing divers - the ORCA’s resting place. Portuguese-only with English Subtitles 10) The TV version's extended scenes at the police station have a longer opening. 11) Brody walks through his house before looking at a mirror 12) Additional shots at the beginning of the deleted underwater helicopter attack.

Additional Notes:

Other than your standard "extended edition" approach of adding back footage, I also defaulted to an alternate take in one instance. For this presentation, I kept the theatrical footage at 2.35:1 since several deleted scenes were also available in the same format - albeit in standard definition non-anamorphic format. 1.33:1 footage is used when no widescreen alternative was available. This footage is currently very rare and are sourced from VHS. I spent a great deal of time trying to improve this VHS footage, including cleanup and using Topaz AI to give it just a little extra perceived detail. The CIC VHS release is in Portuguese and has been subtitled when no English audio is available.
