Add something

Revealing mistake: 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. (01:22:05)

Visible crew/equipment: When Brody drives across the deck and then onto the ferry, as he does you can see the large shadow of crewmembers and a camera set up, standing on a high ledge above, cast on Brody's Amity Police van. (00:03:20)

Visible crew/equipment: When the shark capsizes Doug's boat, you can, for a few seconds, see the mooring rope that is used by the crew to tip his boat over. (01:23:38)

Mistakes

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.

Suggested correction: If it's the angle I'm thinking, I think this is wrong. The first boat to appear in that short is of Lucy and Patrick, but the positioning of the fencing joints plus the boat visible is simply the upturned Marge and Sean's boat that Sean was rescued from before this.

Questions

Question: Can one find the background music playing in the Amity bar scene where the kids are discussing meeting at the Lighthouse with Mike being hesitant to due to being grounded by his Dad? I tried google search, shazaming and everything to no avail! Sections of lyrics sound something like "only sane things" "let them." but that's about all I could make out of it! Thank you.
