From Slashfilm:
While you won’t find many (any?) movie fans who prefer Jaws 2 to Steven Spielberg’s original masterpiece, Laurent Durieux’s poster for the 1978 sequel is a thing of beauty that suggests a much, much better movie. The bright colors and pleasant atmosphere depict a typical beach scene, but the curvature of that water suggest the threat lurking just under the surface, a beast that everyone in Amity is doing their absolute best to ignore. Mondo has done a lot of Jawsposters, but I love how this one suggests the threat of the shark rather than show it outright. It perfectly captures the spirit of the early films, where characters refuse to accept that there’s a problem until things go truly wrong.
