Trivia:

Murray Hamilton was asked to reprise his role as the mayor in a short appearance only at the beginning of the film, but died of cancer before filming started.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Michael Brody is attacked by the shark and is forced out of the submarine, there is an underbelly shot of the shark proceeding to eat the sub and a large, rectangular hole is visible in the 'shark's' stomach. This is only visible in the theatrical release of the film and the UK television version.

Quotes:

Michael Brody: [when shark's chasing him through tunnels] JESUS CHRIST!

Movie Connections:

Soundtrack:

Nail it to the Wall

Even worse than #3

Ok, to sum it up. The shark roars and stands on it's tail for more than 5 seconds. It purposely hunts down members of the Brody family. Thea is annoying and should have been swallowed whole by Bruce. The shark somehow explodes when being punctured by a sharp piece of wood. ?????? A bad film, I think so!
