Mistake Factual error: Sharks do not roar, nor can they "stand" up on the surface of the water like this one does in the end.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Michael Caine and Loraine Gary are at the Islands street party together, the boom microphone is clearly seen top left.  Mind you, it's the only highlight of a pretty drab film.

Mistake Revealing: Toward the end, when they have killed the shark and are all floating about in the water, you can see that the horizon is a painting. The water is even lapping up against it.

Mistake Continuity: Throughout the entire film, Ellen Brody's hair changes back and forth from blonde to white.

Mistake Factual error: The shark follows Brody into the sunken ship (yeah, right) and eventually the chase ends with the shark at the end of a very narrow passageway, with no room for it swim further forward, and no room to turn. Since the rigid nature of a shark's pectoral fins means that they cannot swim backwards this one would be stuck. And since Great White sharks have to constantly swim in order to breathe, the movie really should have ended right there.

Mistake Revealing: When the shark is attacking someone under the water you can see a hole in the shark and divers fins showing that it's a puppet.
