Per IMBD Several decades after the filming of Jaws (1975), Lee Fierro, who plays Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago. The owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her - none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot.

The story about the USS Indianapolis is a true story. Quint pretty much told it like it really happened.

The Indianapolis story when it comes to the sharks is extremely exaggerated. The majority of the people who died, were killed from dehydration and the elements of being in the water or from the initial attack itself. There were entire groups of survivors that didn't see a shark one single time. Don't get me wrong sharks were there but most of the people were scavenged by the sharks and while there were some injured people who were killed by them, very few people were actually killed by the sharks themselves compared to everything else.

Navy command did not know of the ship's sinking until survivors were spotted in the open ocean three and a half days later. At 10:25 on 2 August, a PV-1 Ventura flown by Lieutenant Wilbur "Chuck" Gwinn and his copilot, Lieutenant Warren Colwell, and a PBY-2 Catalina piloted by Bill Kitchen spotted the men adrift while on a routine patrol flight.[26] Gwinn immediately dropped a life raft and radio transmitter. All air and surface units capable of rescue operations were dispatched to the scene at once. First to arrive was an amphibious PBY-5A Catalina patrol plane flown by Lieutenant Commander (USN) Robert Adrian Marks. Marks and his flight crew spotted the survivors and dropped life rafts; one raft was destroyed by the drop while others were too far away from the exhausted crew. Against standing orders not to land in open ocean, Marks took a vote of his crew and decided to land the aircraft in twelve-foot (3.7 m) swells. He was able to maneuver his craft to pick up 56 survivors. Space in the plane was limited, so Marks had men lashed to the wing with parachute cord. His actions rendered the aircraft unflyable. After nightfall, the destroyer escort USS Cecil J. Doyle, the first of seven rescue ships, used its searchlight as a beacon and instilled hope in those still in the water. Cecil J. Doyle and six other ships picked up the remaining survivors. After the rescue, Marks' plane was sunk by Cecil J. Doyle as it could not be recovered.[27] Many of the survivors were injured, and all suffered from lack of food and water (leading to dehydration and hypernatremia; some found rations, such as Spam and crackers, among the debris of the Indianapolis), exposure to the elements (dehydration from the hot sun during the day and hypothermia at night, as well as severe desquamation due to continued exposure to saltwater and bunker oil), and shark attacks, while some killed themselves. Other survivors were found in various states of delirium or suffered from hallucinations.[28][29] Only 316 of the nearly 900 men set adrift after the sinking survived.[4] Two of the rescued survivors, Robert Lee Shipman and Frederick Harrison, died in August 1945. Hundreds of sharks were drawn to the wreck by the noise of the explosions and the scent of blood in the water. After picking off the dead and wounded, they began attacking survivors. The number of deaths attributed to sharks ranges from a few dozen to 150.[30] "Ocean of Fear", a 2007 episode of the Discovery Channel TV documentary series Shark Week, states that the sinking of Indianapolis resulted in the most shark attacks on humans in history, and attributes the attacks to the oceanic whitetip shark species. Tiger sharks may also have killed some sailors. The same show attributed most of the deaths on Indianapolis to exposure, salt poisoning, and thirst/dehydration, with the dead being dragged off by sharks.[3

The film was shot at Martha's Vineyard outside the Massachusetts coast (where all the rich people live). They did it in May that year, so the air was still quite cold, even more so in the water. All the extras were local people, including the kids. The short scene with the TV journalist walking on the beach talking about the danger, is Peter Benchley, the author of the book JAWS. He was a news guy before he became a bestselling author. A story that was never told was about Chief Brody and his gun wound in his torso. One of the reasons Roy Scheider got the part was because he did French Connection before Jaws, and Spielberg felt that the audience could relate to "a cop background". Clever. Oh, yes, the story about the USS Indianapolis is very true.

They actually did build a pneumatic Shark and named it 'Bruce' after Steven Spielbergs lawyer. One of the reasons this movie is so good is the fake shark kept breaking down so Spielberg had to do more with music and atmosphere, and used the fake shark for the bare minimum. The footage of the shark on top of the cage was a real great white shark stuck on top of a real shark cage. The reason the shark took bites first is that they usually take a 'Taste Bite' first because taste is one of the only senses they have to check what a material is. In most cases they don't follow up and eat humans - it's a case of them mistaking us for seals. On the other hand if a Shark the size of a Great White takes a lump out of you then you are very likely to bleed to death in short order.

Quint, the shark hunter, was Robert Shaw ("From Russia With Love", "Battle Of The Bulge"), Chief Brody was Roy Scheider ("The 7 Ups", "2010"), and Hooper, the shark scientist, was Richard Dreyfus ("American Graffiti", "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind""), The Mayor was Murray Hamilton ("The Spirit Of S. Louis"), and the TV reporter on the beach was Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book "JAWS".

I saw a interview with the lady that played Mrs. kitner and she said that people would come up to her and ask her to slap them and she would refuse them at first but it got to be so bad she finally gave in and started slapping these people. it got to a point where she would show up at shopping malls and she would charge them money if they wanted to be slapped and believe me the lines were long true story. have a safe week.

Sharks don't just go chomp. They can get quite excited, And they're messy eaters, so bits of you could go everywhere. It's a hull not a hole they were talking about🤣 The story about the Indianapolis is something that actually happened. Quint (the shark hunter) was played by Robert Shaw, a British actor. He did a pretty convincing job I thought. At one time they used to use shark here in fish and chips because we have a lot of sharks - you could tell if you'd got shark because it tasted like shit. The sequels sadly are crap.

My 2nd have film of all-time (IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is my 1st) - this is a masterpiece and beyond iconic. From its problem plagued production and shoot (the mechanical shark literally sank to the bottom of the ocean on the first day because it had not been tested in salt water! And it frequently malfunctioned so Spielberg had to come up with inventive shots suggesting the shark which in the long run made the film even more terrifying - you never really knew where it'd pop up even despite the John Williams score (which is epic - true story when John presented the famous duh-duh-duh of the opening titles Steven said "Is that it?!" he wasn't impressed - LOL!) The script was daily re-written over and over (the novelist Peter Benchley - whose book was adapted for this film - cameos as the journalist on Amity Beach on the 4th of July - and no Amity is fictitious - shot on location in Martha's Vineyard). Robert Shaw's Indianapolis speech is arguably one of cinema's best monologues and yes all a true story that happened in WWII (!) The day of the shoot Shaw (who had a rep to be a heavy drinker) showed up intoxicated and couldn't complete the scene as written; Spielberg shut down for the day and in the middle of the night later on Shaw phoned him up to apologize and said he'd be onset in the morning sober. He did and they shot it in one take - what you see in the film (!!) Spielberg felt after a test screening the film was not scary enough and he needed one true jolt to scare the shit out of the audience so one weekend they shot the sequence of Ben Gardner's wrecked boat in his own pool (!!!) and used evaporated milk to give the water a cloudy look to look like the ocean. In the next sneak preview he delivered the horrific goods with audiences SCREAMING at it (you can look it up on You Tube!) Spielberg has 2 cameos in the film -he's the cameraman filming Benchley as they cross the beach while Brody is chatting w/Meddows the newspaper editor and he's the voice of Amity Patrol calling Quint on the Orca while they're asea. The 'there's something in the sky' moments are shooting stars (which were actually added in post production; all these years I thought they were 'happy accidents' and only found this out last year!) The live shark moments were filmed on location in Nassau and used a small person (male) as Hooper to show 'scale' - they lowered him in the cage and indeed a GWS showed and became entangled in the harness (which is in the film as well as the close-up of the shark immediately after Hooper drops the dart - it swims into camera as if to say 'hey, how's it goin'). Otherwise all practical f/x (CGI didn't exist then as it does know) and you can't 'train' any shark (as someone first thought to do!!) Yes this film is pretty much the first of its time (there's been literally dozens of rip-offs and pale imitations of it for decades but this is the gold standard; its subsequent sequels got worse with each chapter - the 2nd is fair and re-unites Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary and even Murray Hamilton (um no he looks nothing like John Wayne!! LOL!) The shark was nicknamed Bruce after Spielberg's high-powered attorney. This film did what PSYCHO did for showers for going into the water of any kind (and yes audiences flocked to the cinemas and avoided the beaches!) Orcas are not evil ; they're pretty docile. Don't know where you got that from Dawn Marie - but I love you anyway!

In other words it is safer to swim in shark infested waters than it is to walk underneath coconut trees!

That is a myth it is not real. Joe Alves who worked on numerous jobs films stated in his book that they added it. But not only that, the scene where you see it, was filmed during the daytime but with a filter on the camera that makes it look like night time. They do the same thing in the opening scene where the girl gets attacked as well as the holiday roast seen. They were all filmed during the day but made to look like night Time by using filters on the camera. You can look at photos from the set especially of Chrissie and the roast where everything being filmed is daytime. They just make it look like night because it's too dark to film at night. So all the scenes with the shooting stars were also filmed during the day. It is a common myth that has been debunked.

They never explain onscreen, but the idea of the barrels is to put a drag on the shark that will exhaust it and force it to stop swimming. Since sharks have to swim forward constantly in order to "breathe" that will kill it. (That's also what Quint meant when he talked about luring it into the shallows to "drown" it-- he means to trap it without room to keep swimming.)

Fun facts: The shark is mostly an animatronic or a fake fin. However, in the scene where the shark is twisting around the shark cage, that's a real shark. They actually filmed a shorter man in the cage with a real great white for scale, but the shark accidentally got caught in the cage. The poor animal was probably terrified as it tried to escape, the diver admitted to being just as terrified after he escaped. They left the footage in the movie and it was one of, if not the first filmed event of a shark getting tangled in a cage.
