Opening scene

Even if you haven’t seen 'Jaws', you’d immediately recognise the movie from this iconic scene, where a teenage skinny dipper is suddenly yanked to a watery grave.

The scene took three days to shoot, and was achieved by attaching some cables to Susan Backlinie’s legs which were then aggressively yanked by the production team.

In order to ensure the actress’ shock and fear was genuine, Steven Spielberg refused to tell her when she would be pulled under.
