I remember expectations were really high for the sequel. I also remember people being like 'WTF' when it came out. Stills scary but not anywhere in the same league as the first film. When I see it playing somewhere, I'll watch it but mostly to try and figure out which scenes were directed by Spielberg when the producers or the studio asked him to come in and save the film.

I've never heard of this happening with regards to Jaws 2. I know that the first director, John Hancock, was fired early on and replaced by Jeannot Swarck, who brought us the amazingly awful movie BUG - about insects that shoot fire from their hinders. (not kidding)

Anyhow, Netflix the Jaws 2 DVD someday - there is a very good documentary on it. It's pretty clear that Roy was just there to fulfill a contractual obligation and thought the whole thing was pretty stupid, but he still puts in a very good performance as Brody for a second time.
