Interestingly enough, I recall rumors were going around that the shark in Jaws 2 was a pregnant female and while being electrocuted it was popping out babies! Thus setting the stage for another sequel. Might have been a good premise; certainly no worse than...
I'm almost positive you're right, in fact I believe Hank Searles had that in the novelization!
Yes, that is in the novelization and the narrative even says the female was impregnated by the shark in the first movie! And when Searles did the novelization of "Jaws-The Revenge" he literally picked up on that as the basis for the whole "Sharks are after the Brody family" bit! (in that the shark in this one is the offspring of the Jaws 2 one)
How does Bruce's lady know Brody killed her husband?

The ending was exciting, but I can't say it was that scary. I saw it in a packed cinema (ABC, Ealing Broadway) & I remember two big scares where the audience jumped, 1/when the head rolls into view in the sunk boat. 2/Brody is spooning chum into the sea & the shark suddenly rears up, the whole audience went, ahh! I think that's where Brody says, "we're gonna need a bigger boat". I bought the restored Blu-ray as soon as it was released...& I still haven't watched it yet!
