Where's the shark?!

For a film called Jaws there isn’t a lot of shark scenes in the movie.

The shark isn’t fully revealed until the one-hour-21-minute mark in the two-hour film.

This was purposeful however, as the mechanical sharks frequently broke down and had operating issues, and so Steven Spielberg did his best to hide the prop creature's limitations from viewers as much as possible.

Producer David Brown explained: "It was very tiresome and very tedious. There were all kinds of mechanical problems with electrical polarisation in salt water. [Producer] Richard Zanuck and I more than once saw our careers going to the bottom of the Atlantic while the sharks sank and frogmen were sent down to rescue them."
