By the way, the reason that Jaws the movie is so freaking great (I am obsessed with that film!) is that "Bruce" the shark was broken during most of the filming. So Spielberg had to re-work the film without his biggest prop. He figured out that just the threat of the shark was actually scarier than the shark itself. (Especially since Bruce looked pretty corny up close). Jaws, 30th anniversary edition, has fantastic behind the scenes footage about the making of the film.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Jaws-30th-Anniversary-Roy-Scheider/dp/B0008KLVG4/ref=pd_sim_b_5Penny Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729149456469452771noreply@blogger.com
