Bloopers
Think that the Jaws sequels are 100 % accurate and free of errors?
Think again.
JAWS 2
When Brody goes into the surf, he is startled by the sudden appearance of the boat driver woman's charred corpse. You'd think that with that big explosion, she would surely have been blown to pieces. The boat was blown to kingdom come, why not her?
Realistically, if the boat was blown to smithereens, the woman would've ended up that way too. However, the movie required Brody to find the body as he did in order to further his suspicions about a shark problem.
After being fired and getting drunk, Brody goes home and finds Hendricks talking to Ellen. Brody call him by the name of "Jeff", which is the name of the actor playing Hendricks, Jeffrey Kramer. In the first movie and in Peter Benchley's novel, Hendricks first name is Len. How did he become a Jeff?
Brody was very drunk.
When the shark goes for an unconscious Mike, it misses and runs into the boat. As the shark pulls away, you can see that the shark's jaw is dented in. Could that be because the shark is made out of rubber? If you look closely, you can see the shark's mechanical insides as it veers past the camera.
JAWS 3
In reality, it would be hard for a shark to "accidentally" swim into Sea World of Florida. It's located in Orlando, some distance from the sea.
Watch very closely when the "bumbling thieves" are putting their raft into the lagoon. They put it in the water, then it shows that weird footage of the critters. When it cuts back to the thieves, they are once again putting the raft into the water. In addition, the thieves also fail to move their mouths despite the fact that we hear their whispered dialogue on the soundtrack.
I find it very hard to believe that Mike, Kathryn, Sean, and Kelli could make that much noise in the park after closing and not attract the attention of security or a night watchman.
On several occasions, this movie features footage of real sharks mixed in with the fake stuff. It's not a bad practice, but it does have its drawbacks. During the sequence where they catch the baby shark, a great deal of "live shark" footage is used. If you look closely, you can see sunlight shining down through the water. This is a problem because the scene occurs at night. Also, the footage is obviously sped up to make the shark appear faster.
In one scene (when Calvin talks about "marine segregation"), a flunky addresses him as "Dr. Bouchard". Wait a sec, I thought that Calvin was the "colorful" entrepeneur behind the park. Now he's a doctor. I can just see him in surgery.
I think the bit player flubbed the line. If Calvin were a doctor, he would've been introduced to the press as such in his first scene.
The most obvious blooper is that both Mike and Sean have aged considerably since Jaws 2. Only five years have passed between the two movies, yet Mike has gone from 16-17 to 30 and Sean has gone from 8 to 20.
When Mike and Kathryn warn Calvin about Mama Jaws, Kathryn is wearing long pants and a lab coat. She runs off to save her dolphins, and is suddenly wearing a polo shirt and green shorts (she wore these when she gave Fitzroyce the brush-off earlier in the movie). Would she have stopped to change clothes?
When the tourists are screaming and running through the tunnel, there is no shark in sight.
JAWS: THE REVENGE
First of all: how can Mike have a 5 year old daughter? Thea would've been born in 1982, when Mike was supposedly building Sea World and living with Bess Armstrong. And how can he be a marine biologist? He was an engineer in Jaws 3.
Mike thinks he's safe because there are no great whites in the Bahamas. I'm sure there are other kinds of sharks and dangerous ones at that. Will Ellen be any less upset if he gets gobbled by a tiger shark?
I don't know why anyone thinks that Carla's statue resembles a shark. It doesn't at all. It looks more like one of those objects d'art from "Beetlejuice".
In the TV version, there's a scene added with Mike and Jake playing guitar and singing. Not only is it pointless, but completely out of place: Jake talks about the shark, which they don't even find until a few scenes later.
Correct me if I'm wrong here. The shark chases Mike through a sunken ship, but can't follow him through a narrow doorway. Moments later, the shark crashes through a wall on the other side of the ship. That would've necessitated backing up quite a ways. And so far as I know, sharks don't swim backward.
Above all else, SHARKS DO NOT ROAR!
I have yet to understand how Ellen can flash back to events she was not present for (the attack on Sean, Roy Scheider telling the first shark to smile).
