There's a great shot of the shark's dorsal fin gliding towards Amity at dusk in the beginning of the film; it feels like a leftover from Hancock's version.Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-45711863995909278462010-06-18T12:41:50.955-07:002010-06-18T12:41:50.955-07:00It has some passing references, especially in the ...It has some passing references, especially in the beginning. Hancock was going for a moodier and brooding feel. Rumors were started among the crew that Hancock was taking too long and "didn't know what he was doing".

He got fired after a couple months because apparently he was trying to make a more "haunting" sequel, like his earlier movie <i>Let's Scare Jessica to Death</i>.
