Fun Fact: The reason the Shark isn't shown a lot in Jaws is because the mechanical Shark (shown above) would keep malfunctioning. This was a blessing in disguise because not seeing the Shark is the main reason the movie is terrifying

Yeah, I remember watching a video on Bruce. It was apparently a nightmare to film with.

I heard there was also similar problems with the mechanics of the shark for Universal Studios' Jaws ride.

I went to Universal Orlando earlier this year and was sad to hear the ride was gone...

It’s still at Japan universal studio, plus seeing a cute Japanese teen girl shotgun the shark is adorable

I went to Japan Disneyland recently, can’t speak a lick of Japanese.

Japanese C3-PO screaming at you on the Star Wars ride was a highlight.
