Iconic Jaws scene was almost much scarier
, shows character Alex Kintner enjoying a day at the beach on Amity Island on the July 4th holiday weekend.It’s already a confronting scene, as we watch from the eyes of the great white shark as it approaches Alex from below, with the iconic music grumbling in the background.Hmm, no thanks.The Shark Is Still WorkingCheers to the editor who chopped that footage out.
Unfortunately, the deleted scene has never been released to the public, but we managed to find some snippets of it in the documentary, which shows a dummy was brought in as the stunt was filmed.Footage from the documentary, The Shark Is Still Working, shows the mechanical shark eating the dummy.While it’s not known why it was cut, it is said either it was too graphic or that Spielberg didn’t want to reveal the shark’s full appearance until later in the film.
“They tried it for the first time and it blew up and I went underwater and they yelled, ‘Cut! Your arm was sticking out of the water Jeff, we are going to have to try it again’. “But it took five to six hours for all the blood to clear out of the water before we could do the shot again. “After about five attempts filming the scene they got two guys in wetsuits with oxygen tanks to pull me down and give me air while I was underwater. That’s the take that made it into the film.”
