Jaws 2 (1978)

Produced as a promotional tie-in to Jaws 2, This 'Shark facts' Advance poster reflects the late 1970s fascination, and fear, of sharks shaped by blockbuster cinema. Blending pseudo-science with sensational imagery, it captures how Jaws transformed public perception of sharks, embedding them in popular culture as objects of terror while blurring the line between education, marketing, and mythmaking.

This is a striking advance edition poster for this film, designed as an informational chart, featuring a dramatic central image of a swimmer framed by the gaping jaws of a shark. Surrounded by dense text and numbered “facts”, the clean white layout contrasts sharply with the menacing imagery, creating a piece that is equal parts cautionary guide and exploitation-era movie ephemera.
