Jaws

No. 5 Jaws

Plot: When a gigantic great white begins to menace the small island community of Amity, a police chief, a marine scientist and grizzled fisherman set out to stop it.

Tag Line: Don't go in the water

Trivia: In addition to the well-known nickname of "Bruce", Steven Spielberg also called the shark "the great white turd" when he really got frustrated with the troublesome animatronic fish.

Author Peter Benchley was thrown off the set after objecting to the climax.

When Roy Scheider was trapped in the sinking Orca, it took 75 takes to get the shot right. Scheider did not trust the special effects team to rescue him in case of an emergency so he hid axes and hatchets around the cabin just in case.

Robert Shaw could not stand Richard Dreyfuss and they argued all the time, which resulted in some good tension between Hooper and Quint.

Quotes: Quint: Back home we got a taxidermy man. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him.

Hooper: Boys, oh boys... I think he's come back for his noon feeding.

Did you know that I have an intense fear of sharks and open water? Yep. This is the movie that made sure I would spend no time in lakes, rivers, oceans...
