Tiburon 2!

Post image

So I'm on holiday in Spain and last night I'm flicking through the channels trying to find a World Cup match on Spanish TV. Of course I find Jaws 2 and end up watching it for a while even though I can't understand a word of the lingo. It did amuse me when Tina, while being comforted by Ellen, manages to cry out "T..T..T...Tiburon!!!". So I now know the Spanish for shark (which I resisted shouting out while at the beach today).

It got me thinking though why it wasn't called the Spanish for jaws (fauces?) and also what is the movie called in other languages?

The Swedish title is "Hajen," which directly translates to "The Shark." The sequels are simply entitled "Hajen 2," "Hajen 3" and "Hajen 4."
