Pretty amazing for its time really. Even for today, to build a waterproof creature that big, and put it through its paces for moths on set. What a feat. Thanks for all your hard work, Bruce.
But it wasn’t waterproof. It was constantly breaking down which ultimately led to the benefit of the audience not seeing the shark as often as Spielberg originally planned.

Love the film too.

It didn’t fare well. Turns out it had only been tested in a pool, not salt water and it was a whole lot less waterproof than it was supposed to be.
