Trivia:
|
- After the shark blows up, the groaning sound effects during the shot of the carcass sinking are the same ones the truck makes as it crashes off a cliff in Speilberg's first film, Duel. The sound effect is from the original Creature from the Black Lagoon.
- The mechanical shark spent most of the movie broken-down, and was unavailable for certain shots. This led Spielberg to use the camera as the "shark", and film from the shark's point of view. Many think this added to the "chilling/haunting" quality in the final release saying that it would have made it too "cheesy" had they shown the shark as much as originally planned.
- Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, was used as Amity Island. Residents were paid $64 to scream and run across the beach as extras.
- A midget in a miniature cage and a real shark were used to get some shots correct.
- Robert Shaw could not stand Richard Dreyfuss and they argued all the time, which resulted in some good tension between Hooper and Quint.
