Good afternoon mccook-ga and thank you for allowing me to answer this
question for you.
It brought back a memory of me as a child running to my father out of
terror after watching Jaws! I can remember the movie previews so
clearly?."Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the
water..."
Anyhow, enough of my reminiscing and onto your answer!
JAWS (1975)
Victim #1: Christine "Chrissie" Watkins (Susan Backlinie), going for
a midnight swim, is viciously dragged back, forth and eventually,
under.
Victim #2: Pippet, a Black Lab, has an off-screen death. His death is
minutes before victim #3.
Victim #3: Within minutes of ?Pippet?s demise, Alex Kintner (Jeffrey
Voorhees) is pulled from his raft and killed by the shark.
Victim #4 (one for humor!) In an attempt to cash in on the $3,000
reward offered for the death of the fish, Denherder and his friend
Charlie hook his wife?s holiday roast as bait. They attach an inner
tube as a bobber and sit on a small pier to wait. The shark takes the
roast out to sea. Because of the strength of the chain used for
fishing line, the pier breaks off sending Charlie into the water.
After some panicking, the waterlogged fisherman does finally make it
out of the water unscathed, but the roast was a total loss and the
eventual Holiday party was a dismal failure.
The REAL Victim #4: Brody (Roy Scheider) comes across the damaged,
abandoned fishing boat of Ben Gardner. Hooper puts on his scuba gear
to inspect the hull from underwater and finds a huge tooth embedded
in a large hole in the hull. When he examines the tooth and comes in
for a closer look, the severed head of Gardner's corpse appears in the
gaping hole.
Victim #5: A shark fin is spotted in a pond (not to be confused with
the ?fake? fin in an earlier scene). It moves towards the group of
boys in the sailboat and toward an unidentified man (Ted Grossman) in
a red rowboat. The shark attacks the man in the rowboat and turns it
over, throwing him into the water. The turbulence from the rowboat
attack capsizes the sailboat and throws the boys into the water. The
shark bites off the man's leg, claiming yet another victim.
Victim #6: Quint (Robert Shaw) slides down the slippery deck into the
open jaws of the monster Giant Great White . He is bitten in half and
swallowed whole. (Although many may argue this death as Quint?s
character is back in Jaws 2, complete with wheelchair)

JAWS 2 (1978)
Victim #1: This Killer Whale doesn't make its appearance in the film
until later, but it was attacked and killed chronologically first. In
fact, the attack occurs before the film begins.
Victim #2: The first human victim is this underwater photographer. He
is attacked while taking photos of his friend (the third victim) down
by the sunken ship THE ORCA (Quint's boat from the first JAWS film
Victim #3: Earlier, this diver was the subject of underwater
photographs, but now, we can only assume, he has been reduced to chum.
We never find any trace of his body.
Victim #4: Terry, the water skier is knocked from her skis and eaten.
Victim #5: After the ski boat driver realizes that her water-skier has
dropped her tow, she stops the boat to investigate. In an effort to
protect herself she dumps gasoline all over herself, then shoots a
flare resulting in her own death as well as disfiguring the shark.
Victim #6: Ed is knocked from the boat he and his girlfriend, Tina are
on. As Ed tries to swim toward the boat, the shark meets him halfway,
taking him into his mouth, slams him into the port and drags Ed under.
Victim #7: A rescue helicopter from the harbor patrol is dispatched.
The chopper pilot lands on the water via his pontoons. Just as he
prepares to lift off, the shark rises up and bites into one of the
pontoons. This tips the helicopter over and the helicopter is pulled
under. Underwater, the drowning helicopter pilot frantically attempts
to escape from his craft?until he?s confronted by the shark ? dead!
Victim #8: Marge, a ?mother figure? for Sean Brody, is attacked and
killed while she jumps in to rescue him.

JAWS ? THE REVENGE (1987)
Victim #1: Martin Brody has since died of a heart attack ("Dad died
from a heart attack," Michael (Lance Guest) retorts. "He died from
fear!" she [Ellen, played by Lorraine Gary] exclaims.)
Victim #2: Sean Brody (Marc Gilpin), the youngest son, is attacked
and killed by a shark while pulling an old dock piling floating around
in the channel to the harbor (he became a police officer like his
father). (Victim #2)
Victim #3: Thea (Judith Barsi ), Michael?s daughter is seen riding
the ?banana boat.? The shark approaches the banana boat. The shark
rises up to grab the boat?s operator (the mother of the friend Thea is
riding with) and slowly munch her to death above the waterline.
Victim #4 (more humor!): After chewing on several boats, the shark
tries eating Hoagie?s plane.
The REAL Victim #4: VERY CONTROVERSIAL - Jake is snatched by the
shark and chewed up. However, after test audiences got upset they
re-filmed a new ending where Jake escapes from the shark?s mouth with
only minor cuts.

Just a bit of useless trivia, Jaws won an Academy Awards for Best Film
Editing, Best Music (Original Score) and Best Sound. It was also
nominated for Best Picture. The film is consistently on the Internet
Movie Database's list of top 250 films and was #48 on American Film
Institute's 100 Years, 100 Movies and #2 on its 100 Years, 100
Thrills. The shark was also anointed #18 on AFI's 100 Years, 100
Heroes and Villains, opposite Robin Hood. In 2001 the United States
Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and
selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
