In Brazil, a special extended version of Jaws 2 was made for their TV stations as well as their early VHS releases. This version restored several deleted scenes, some of which that were never before officially released on DVD or Blu-ray. Most of the deleted scenes that appear in this version also appears in versions that were made for American TV networks. However, one of the deleted scenes is exclusive to the Brazilian TV version. The Brazilian TV version also has some additional extensions to other deleted scenes that aren’t present in any other version. Since this version is from Brazil, the language is in Portuguese with no English subtitles. The quality is also notably bad, as the original VHS suffers from tracking problems.
