*TookTheBadFilmSeriously: While his behind-the-scenes tribulations on this film are notorious, Roy Scheider definitely isn't phoning it in. Of particular note is the scene just after he's been fired, where he sadly admits to his wife he has no real idea what he'll do next.

* AccidentalInnuendo: The original film was titled ''Les Dents de la mer'' ("The Teeth of the Sea") in French-speaking markets. So the sequel was, unsurprisingly, titled ''Les Dents de la mer deuxième partie'' ("The Teeth of the Sea, second part"). This was often abbreviated in casual speech, however, to ''Les Dents de la mer deux''… which sounds very much like ''Les Dents de la merde'', "The Teeth of the Shit".

* FanPreferredCutContent: Interestingly, two different, radically divergent, alternate versions of the well-known helicopter scene in the final act are both seen as being even better than the final versions by some fans.
** An extended version of the scene shows the helicopter pilot makes it out of the submerged craft, only for the next shot to be a close-up of the shark’s mouth right before it engulfs him offscreen. Many people feel this was impressively scary and makes the final version lackluster by comparison.
** In the second draft of the script, the pilot survives due to an air bubble inside the cockpit and briefly ventures out of it to pull [[spoiler:Marge]] to safety when the shark is attacking her. Given how the script makes that scene sound tense and fast-paced and [[spoiler:Marge is such a popular character and has such a sad death]], there are fans who wish that scene had stayed in and saved the two characters.

** Hendricks is made new sheriff and feels rather guilty about it. Though devastated over being fired, Brody doesn't begrudge Hendricks and even offers a toast in his honor.
*** Later, when Brody decides he is going to take the police boat to try and save Mike, Hendricks pleads with him to stop... only to finally say screw it and hop in, saying they can't fire him too. Brody is only working on a hunch but Hendricks [[UndyingLoyalty is that loyal to his boss]].
** Brody finding Tina and instantly gathering her in his arms, hugging her and comforting her. The teen has been reduced to the mentality of a child thanks to the shark attack and Brody doesn't hesitate to reassure her. Then Ellen and Hendricks board, holding her and wrapping her in blankets while Brody makes sure that a passing boat will come and take the three back to shore while he goes to save the other kids.
** Mixed with tearjerker but Marge saving Sean. Had she selfishly focused on just getting on the overturned boat herself she would have survived; her bravery cost her her life but saved Sean's.
