Jaws 2 is the 1978 sequel to Jaws, directed by Jeannot Szwarc, with Roy Scheider returning as Chief Brody. John Williams returned to compose the score, expanding his original 1975 two-note motif into a fuller orchestral theme for the new shark attacks around Amity Island. The music became inseparable from the franchise and from shark imagery in general. Online, the theme is widely reused as shorthand for impending danger, appearing in edits, parodies, and suspense clips decades after the film's release.
