Fun trivia: The mechanical shark was nicknamed 'Bruce' after Spielberg's lawyer. It was infamous for constantly breaking down. One of the kids in the fake shark fin 'he made me do it' scene is now police chief on Martha's Vineyard which is Amity in the movie, effectively becoming Brody. The famous severed head jump scare was filmed in a swimming pool, and added to the movie as Spielberg felt the first half needed ' a moment'.
This film certainly scared quite a lot of people out of the water. The mechanical shark malfunctioned so much that they went for an unseen beast until the end. It worked perfectly, nothing is scarier indeed.
