Jaws 2 Almost Ruined The Franchise By Dropping The Great White Shark
One early pitch for Jaws 2 involved dropping the great white shark for another sea monster, which might have ruined the whole franchise. The original Jaws became the first true summer blockbuster in 1975, and it's rightly regarded as a classic. During this time, sequels and franchises were relatively rare, outside of the likes of the Bond movies. Jaws was such a success that the studio realized a follow-up was practically a guaranteed hit, but the sequel would — ironically — suffer through a production almost as fraught as the original.
