Quotes:
|
-
Brody: I can do anything, I'm the chief of police.
-
Mayor Vaughn: Martin, it's all psychological. You yell barracuda, everybody says, "Huh? What?" You yell shark, we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.
-
Quint: You've got city boy hands, Hooper. You been countin' money all your life.
Hooper: I don't need this working-class-hero crap.
-
Brody: It's only an island if you look at it from the water.
-
Hooper: This was no boating accident!

Trivia:
|
- Peter Benchley makes a cameo as a reporter on the beach.
- Brody's dog in the movie was actually Spielberg's real dog.
- In the actual Jersey Beach shark attacks of 1916 (which Hooper mentions in the film), the sequence of attacks is similar to that of the film: a swimmer in the surf; a dog; and a boy and the leg of a man in a tidal slough.
- Steven Spielberg played first clarinet for the beach scene.
- Preview audiences screamed when the head of a shark victim appears in the hole in the bottom of the boat. Director Steven Spielberg re-shot the scene in editor Verna Fields's swimming pool because he wanted them to "scream louder".
