Lo squalo

Several decades after the film's release, Lee Fierro (Mrs. Kintner) walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed an "Alex Kintner Sandwich" on the menu. She commented that she had played his mother many years ago. Jeffrey Voorhees, the manager of the restaurant who had played Alex, ran out to meet her. They hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot.

Great White Sharks cannot move backwards once their gills are under water, as seen towards the end of the film.

The three leads are credited using a placement that was popular in the 1970s, making it unclear who receives first credit. Robert Shaw's name is vertically above Roy Scheider's, but Scheider's is to the left. Richard Dreyfuss, being the least experienced, is last whichever way you read it.

The version shown in recent years on television (as of 2000) includes a lengthier scene where the crazed fishermen hunt sharks to collect Mrs. Kinter's reward. It shows them crazily firing rifles into the water, much like a shark feeding frenzy. The extended version of Jaws was first shown in the US on the ABC network on November 4, 1979 in order to achieve a running time of 3 hours including commercial interruptions. This version and ran occasionally through the 1980s. The shark hunting frenzy mentioned here, in addition to Matt Hooper telling a story about an ex-lover to Chief Brody on their way to dissect the tiger shark, as well as Quint's badgering of a young musician in a bait and tackle store were all included. Many network and syndicated television broadcasts contained added footage long before "Deleted Scenes" were ever part of home video packaging.
