'Jaws 2'
Picking up four years after the events of the first film, 1978's 'Jaws 2″ sees Amity Island facing another killer shark threat. While Spielberg did not return to direct the sequel, with those duties going to French director Jeannot Szwarc, it did feature the return of Scheider, who reprises his role as police chief Brody. Lorraine Gary, who plays Brody's wife Ellen in 'Jaws,' also returns, as does Murray Hamilton as the infamous Mayor Vaughn.

'Jaws 3-D'
Directed by Joe Alves, the second sequel, 1983's 'Jaws 3-D' (or just 'Jaws III' if you've left your red and blue glasses in the '80s), ditches Amity Island for SeaWorld and a new cast of characters facing their own fishy situation. Dennis Quaid stars as Mike Brody, the son of Scheider's character, an engineer at the theme park who, along with girlfriend and biologist Kay (Bess Armstrong), face off with — you guessed it — a massive shark that's infiltrated SeaWorld. Thankfully, they get a little help from the park's resident dolphins, Cindy and Sandy.

'Jaws: The Revenge'
The fourth film, 1987's 'Jaws: The Revenge' directed by Joseph Sargent, is the laughable last entry in the saga. Despite its poor reception from critics and fans, it does feature an interesting main cast, with Gary reprising her role as Ellen from the first two films, while Oscar winner Michael Caine plays franchise newcomer Hoagie. Following the death of her son from yet another shark attack on Amity Island, Ellen (now a widow) absconds to the Bahamas to be with her family in mourning. However, a shark with a familiar set of teeth is there looking to exact some sweet revenge.

Winner of the 2025 'World's Ugliest Dog' contest is crowned: Meet Petunia
A hairless English-French bulldog mix is now the world's ugliest dog. Meet Petunia, the 2-year-old pooch crowned the winner of the World's Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair on Friday, Aug. 8. The grounds are about 40 miles north of San Francisco. The annual contest, which judges canines on their extracurricular activities and not-so-cute appearances, helps pet shelters find animals forever homes. According to its website, the contest has taken place for nearly five decades and many of the contestants "have been rescued from shelters and puppy mills, to find loving homes in the hands of those willing to adopt." "Dogs of all breeds and sizes have warmed our hearts and filled our lives with unconditional love," the site reads. "This world-renowned event celebrates the imperfections that make all dogs special and unique." Last year's World's Ugliest Dog contest winner was Wild Thang, a then 8-year-old Pekingese from Oregon. More dog news: 'Hilarious' video shows toddler, black lab left perplexed after ball vanishes during fetch The fair announced Petunia took home the first-place trophy, according to The New York Times and ABC7 in San Francisco. Petunia lives in Oregon with her owner, Shannon Nyman, both outlets reported, adding rescuers first found the dog "in the chaos of a backyard breeder and hoarder" in Las Vegas. Luvable Dog Rescue, a non-profit organization in Oregon, relocated her. "She's the most wrinkled 2-year-old I have ever seen," one of the judges told the TV station. Her imperfections earned her $5,000 as well as being featured on upcoming limited-edition cans of MUG Root Beer, one of the contest sponsors. After winning the title, the pooch also appeared live on "Today" on Monday, Aug. 11, alongside handler Shannon Nyman. USA TODAY has reached out to contest officials and Nyman for comment.

I've been to Paris a dozen times. Skip tourist hot spots like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre and do these 7 things instead.
I've traveled around the world, but even after a dozen visits, Paris remains my favorite city. I never tire of its cafés, restaurants, parks, or opportunities to practice my French. After multiple visits, I've found a few lesser-visited spots and activities that I think everyone should check out. Whether you're trying to avoid touristy spots or have already hit the popular places, here are seven of my favorite things to do in Paris. The Eiffel Tower is iconic, but the view from the Montparnasse Tower is equally stunning I've been atop the Eiffel Tower several times, toasting a plastic flute of Champagne from the bar and peering at the skyline from every vantage point. But if I were looking for Instagrammable views of Paris' most famous landmark, I'd head to the Montparnasse neighborhood. The rooftop terrace atop the city's only skyscraper, Montparnasse Tower, has 360-degree city views and tons of space to spread out. I recommend visiting during the evening hours to catch the sparkling light show on the Eiffel Tower, which occurs for five minutes at the top of each hour after sundown till midnight or 1 a.m., depending on the season. The Louvre may have the Mona Lisa, but the Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie house beloved Impressionist works Like many tourists, I've marched through the massive halls of the Louvre to see pieces like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and The Coronation of Napoleon. However, lots of people may be surprised to discover that many Impressionist pieces are displayed in other museums, like the Musée d'Orsay. The museum is located in the former Gare d'Orsay, a gorgeous railway station, and has incredible artwork displays and a gift shop. When I went, I marveled at works by the masters I studied in French class, from Monet to Manet and Renoir. If you're a superfan of Monet's Water Lilies, I also suggest visiting the Musée de l'Orangerie. The Water Lilies exhibit, which features eight panels displayed side by side in a small room, can get somewhat crowded. Still, it was a special experience to be surrounded by Monet's iconic flowers. Follow up a visit to Père Lachaise Cemetery with a walk through Les Catacombes I first made the pilgrimage to the Père Lachaise Cemetery to see former The Doors front man Jim Morrison's bouquet-covered gravesite in high school. However, I'd also recommend visitors head to Les Catacombes. The catacombs, built in the 18th century to solve the problem of Paris' overcrowded cemeteries, hold the remains of more than 6 million people. During my visit, I solemnly walked through the many corridors and past walls neatly lined with countless skulls and bones. After you've had a drink at a café, do a cocktail crawl in the Le Marais neighborhood There is no shortage of cafés in Paris. People-watching over a croque madame (a French sandwich) is the quintessential Parisian experience. But as a wine and spirits writer, I appreciate a good cocktail — and the charming Le Marais neighborhood is full of renowned bars. I loved the singular ingredient-focused drinks at Little Red Door, named one of the world's 50 best bars in 2022 and 2023. I had a fabulous gin, aquavit, and fino sherry drink at The Cambridge Public House, a cross between a pub and cocktail lounge. Then, I ended the night with a savory olive oil and balsamic martini riff at Le Mary Celeste, a cozy bar with an extensive wine list, and a spicy marg at La Mezcaleria, a cocktail bar inside the 1K Hotel Paris. After stopping by Notre-Dame Cathedral, head to the Basilica de Sacré Coeur In addition to visiting Notre-Dame Cathedral, I suggest visiting the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre, which is perched high atop a hill and features great views of Paris. On my way to the church, I walked through the restaurants and shops in the bustling Montmartre district and then took in the view atop the steps leading to the basilica. On some of my visits, I've even heard live music. Finally, I walked down the steps and grabbed a table at Le Studio Café. I wouldn't say the food is especially noteworthy, but the restaurant boasts an enviable view of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. Once you've had your fill of crêpes, try an earthier, savory version of the dessert I'm a sucker for a warm, freshly made crêpe from a Parisian street cart, but during one of my trips, I tried galettes, buckwheat-flour pancakes from France's Bretagne (or Brittany) region. The flavor is earthier than its eggier cousin. It's a perfect base for savory fillings, which are laid onto the pancake before its sides are folded over. I found that most of the cafés serving these savory galettes were located in the Latin Quarter and the Le Marais districts. I stumbled upon Breizh Café, a chain known for this specialty, and tried a galette stuffed with mushrooms, Gruyere, and ham. Skip the hassle of finding authentic art and get a France-inspired tattoo Instead of trying to find a genuine art piece to take home, a friend and I decided to get matching tattoos at Freaks and Geeks Tattoo last year. I saw another customer getting inked with an adorable cheeseboard design while we waited to get our Champagne-flute tattoos. This past summer, I returned for a lavender-sprig design. The shop has talented artists, and the tattoos are my all-time favorite souvenirs from Paris. This story was originally published on July 26, 2024, and most recently updated on August 11, 2025.
