Three mechanical sharks -- all nicknamed Bruce, after Steven Spielberg's lawyer -- were used in the making of the movie Jaws.

No real sharks were used, except for the footage of the shark attacking the underwater cage. That was filmed (on a completely separate location, in Australia) with a real shark (although the cage was very tiny, and the diver inside who was standing in for Matt Hooper/Richard Dreyfuss was a little person (like, 3 feet tall). The shark was only average sized: the tiny cage and diver make it look gigantic.
