Very carefully. No, seriously. The star of http://reference.answers.com/topic/jaws-movie-1975was actually a mechanical http://reference.answers.com/topic/sharknicknamed Bruce. In fact, director http://reference.answers.com/topic/steven-spielbergthought that it was so obvious that Bruce was fake that he decided to keep him out of sight until nearly the end of the movie, which proved to build suspense and fear in the audience. Jaws was released thirty-five years ago today, on June 20, 1975, and became the first summer http://reference.answers.com/topic/blockbuster. Three different sharks were built for the filming: a full version for underwater shots, a half-shark that moved from camera-left to right and another one that moved from camera-right to left. They malfunctioned often and the first time the full-version went into the water, it sank right to the bottom and had to be pulled back out.
