starring Roy Scheider

votemap vote up vote down

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Brody approaches the group of teenagers on their smashed boats, the angle cuts to show Brody approaching seen as if from Cable Junction. At this point, there is a huge mistake. The teenagers' boats are clearly visible in the foreground, the kids have all completely vanished, and you can spot the cameraman standing on the boats quite clearly.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: There's one bit where we see the shark slamming into a boat and gliding along the side with its mouth open. Not only does the shark's latex mouth bend beneath the snout, narrowing from pressure, but within the mouth you can clearly see yellow hydraulic tanks to open the mouth.

Mistake Continuity: When the teenage guy is getting attacked by the shark, the shark slams him up against the boat. He attempts to climb back on the boat and the shark pulls him down and the guy rips some wood from the edge of the boat. You can see the cut away part of wood that will be ripped off before he actually rips it off.

Mistake Audio problem: When the shark breaks the katamaran and most of the teens fall into the water by Cable Junction, one of the girls can be heard screaming in the underwater shot of the shark. That is perhaps fine, but the sound of someone screaming as heard under water continues over a few clips from above the surface.

Mistake Audio problem: When the helicopter lands and the teenagers cheer you can hear dialogue from later in the film in the background. Several times you hear "Sean, catch the rope." which they yell later in the movie.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene when Chief Brody, his wife & deputy come across the sail boat named "Tina's Joy", they find Tina in it, and during this scene Chief Brody's jacket is placed on Tina's shoulders. The Chief then leaves the sailboat in search of the other teens. Later scenes show the Chief wearing this jacket when in fact he left it with Tina.

Mistake Revealing: After Terry has been taken by the shark, her mum stops the speedboat, and starts calling for her. Then the shark starts swimming over to the boat. In a following side shot of the boat, just before the shark slams itself into the speedboats side, you can see a thick line attached to the front of the speedboat, which wasn’t there previously, which is probably used to tow the boat to something off screen.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Brody is rigging the winch it shows and underwater shot, presumably from the sharks point of view, if you look attached to the kids boat's there is a wire anchoring them down.

Mistake Continuity: When Tina is running away from Eddie in the building on the beach, you see that the building is casting a huge shadow across the beach. But when it cuts to the next shot in which they are running past all their friends, there is no shadow being cast on the shore from the building.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the movie when the Chief has killed the shark, you see his son Shawn cheering, with his hair completely wet and messed. By the time the Chief paddles over, Shawn's hair is now perfect; dry, and combed neatly...

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: As Doug is pumping air into his boat, there is a close-up shot of the boat puncturing. If you look closely, you are able to see the explosive patch hidden where the puncture appears and the wire leading to it. Submitted by Mortug

Mistake Audio problem: When Chief Brody and Dr. Lureen Elkins walk along the beach, over to the huge dead whale, Brody says “I called you as soon as I heard, because I hear the bites are really big…”, his mouth does not correctly match up with the audio. Submitted by Hamster
