"Where's Lenny?"


When Sean asks Polly, "where's Lenny?" is he referring to Len Hendrix, Jeffrey Kramer's character from the first two movies?

reply

Possible, but un-likley. I think it was a lil ref t2o the origianl film.

both movies had secretary named Polly

reply

Hendrix was just referred to as Jeff by both Martin and Ellen in part 2 (I'm watching it now)

reply

That's odd indeed. He's named Len Hendricks in both the original film and novel, but Jeff in Jaws 2.

I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?

reply

Yes. It's implied that Lenny Hendricks is now Chief of Police and Brody is Deputy.

reply

Definitely referring to Len Hendricks. To this day, I don't know why they decided to call him "Jeff" in "Jaws 2" but it's certainly a reference to the now-Sheriff Hendricks.

Maybe it was just a gaffe left in by Jeannot Szwarc. Happens all the time in films, where an actor is called by their actual name on-screen, rather than by their character's name. Jeffrey Kramer played Hendricks in "Jaws" and "Jaws 2." IMDB lists Kramer as playing "Hendricks" in "Jaws" and "Jeff Hendricks" in "Jaws 2." That has to be based solely on that one scene where Brody and Ellen refer to Hendricks as Jeff, doesn't it?

Hmmm... can you give examples please? Oo

reply

Some famous examples are the scene in The Godfather where someone refers to Don Corleone as Marlon and the scene in Schindler’s List when Schindler refers to Itzhak Stern as Ben.

reply

When is Hendricks referred to as "Len" or "Lenny" in the first "Jaws"? It doesn't matter what his name is in the novel. I only remember him being referred to as "Hendricks" in the first film.

reply

Not Lenny.......NOT LENNY!!!

reply

No it's Len Peterson, the real estate developer from Jaws 2.

In Jaws 2, I think it was a mistake because Jeffery Kramer played Hendricks. I think it could have been a slip that wasn't corrected, that's my theory. In Revenge I thought maybe Hendricks was Chief by now, but who knows?

Go Hillary Go :)!

They brought back the actresses that played Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Kintner, but they couldn't splurge to bring back Hendricks for even one scene?


 That's right! You're about to be killed by a zamboni! ⛄

reply

Could be the actor just wasn't available at the time...?

Former Mayor Vaughn was set to make an appearance at Sean's funeral, but Murray Hamilton died before they filmed it. Hooper was also supposed to offer his condolences to Michael over a phone call, but apparently Dreyfus wanted to much money for less than a minute of screen time, so they producers scraped it.
