Yet he observes that, far from the narrative formulas so often employed by New Hollywood filmmakers of the era—involving Us vs. Sharks were occasional bycatch, then a speciality; he once claimed to have found a ‘bunny rabbit’ in the belly of one.allowing fans a completely new opportunity to immerse themselves in one of the greatest summer suspense thrillers of all time.

At the suggestion of Spielberg, Brody's characterization made him afraid of water, "coming from an urban jungle to find something more terrifying off this placid island near Massachusetts. The former was epitomized by his insistence on shooting at sea with a life-sized shark; "I could have shot the movie in the tank or even in a protected lake somewhere, but it would not have looked the same," he said. Sparks found that particularly violent films, including Jaws, tended to cause the most intense reactions in viewers.
