I read an article a few years ago that the book was based on a real event from around the 1920s when a big shark hung around a New England town and even went partway up the river.

penawareof, yes, but probably because it is such a classic. Culturally speaking it is probably one of the biggest successes of Hollywood.

Not all of Jaws footage involved the fake shark. When "Jaws" is thrashing about on top of the empty cage, that is a real shark with a downscaled cage. Spielberg loved the footage and rewrote the script so that Hooper escaped and survived so that he could use the footage and explain why the cage is empty in that shot.

Player #20367796, Robert Shaw was actually an English actor. The film’s debut was in 1975 , Shaw died in 1978. Are you sure you were born in Florida?

being born a Floridian and I first saw Jaws in 76 in California when I return to Florida it took me about a year to go back into the ocean I still to this day find it a Monumental movie and hold on to the fact that the pilot of the boat Quint died before the debut Robert Shaw was a great American actor

ChampionNymph37634, if I saw a shark in the water where I am I would probably try to run on top of the water! I love watching Shark Week on tv. Just don't want to swim with them!
