Mechanical Shark Used In Steven Spielberg’s Jaws

To make Jaws appear as close to real life as possible, Steven Spielberg employed a unique combination of animatronic sharks and actual footage of sharks. Genuine footage of sharks was captured off the coast of Australia and 25-foot long animatronic sharks were filmed in the open sea. This creative blend of techniques gave the movie an authenticity and realism that made it a cinematic masterpiece.
