Yea the only ones on the DVD are

Martin giving Ellen’s boss a ticked

Ellen talking to Brody after grounding Michael

The town council deciding whether or not to fire Martin, they all agree to fire him except for Vaughn who votes against it

The shark attacks the pilot underwater

Here’s some pretty rough footage of the other scenes

I never understood them releasing some scenes but not others on DVD

I used some of that footage in my JAWS 2 fan edit. Unfortunately it’s the only source available at the moment.

It’s inexplicable why some of these TV scenes but not all, made it to DVD/Blu-Ray.

The TBS TV version - with extra scenes, appears to be edited. The deleted scene in the police station with the secretary Polly starts earlier in that video you posted than it does in the TBS edit. The extended helicopter attack also shows more footage of the pilot struggling to get out of his harness than the TBS.

The recovery of the camera from the ORCA wreck is completely absent from the TBS version too.

How difficult would it have been to slap an English language onto this extended version and give it an official release on DVD/Blu-Ray. It would make a great extra. I wish SHOUT FACTORY or ARROW would get the rights to the JAWS sequels and give them REAL special edition respect. Next year would be the perfect opportunity for a 40th anniversary of JAWS 2 home video release!

I really think they might eventually, the jaws sequels along with Childs Play 2 and 3 really need collectors editions with new special features and all the deleted scenes included
