My brilliant dissertation on JAWS 2:

Not enough people get eaten.

The End.

And between you and me, I think I prefer the sailboat art over the happy water-skier that’s about to get munched.

A Rebel’s Hate, A Woman’s Undying Love! (August, 1957)

I first saw Samuel Fuller’s Run of the Arrow under the alternate title, The Last Bullet, on the late-late show many moons ago. Kind of a nastier, edgier version of Dances with Wolves (that final massacre is just brutal), this was my introduction to both Fuller and Rod Steiger and it needs to be seen by a lot more folks.
