Short description
After another deadly shark attack, Ellen Brody decides she has had enough of New England's Amity Island and moves to the Caribbean to join her son, Michael, and his family. But a great white shark has followed her there, hungry for more lives.
What's left behind the scenes
- The water in the tank where the final confrontation was filmed was tinted blue, which dyed Lorraine Gary and Michael Caine’s hair. That's why Caine emerges from the water completely dry, as he had to wash his hair back to its natural color.
- Filming took place in the Bahamas, with some scenes shot in Edgartown, Massachusetts. The film was shot over four months – from February 2nd to May 26th, 1987.
- Michael Caine was unable to accept his Academy Award for his role in 'Hannah and Her Sisters' in person, as he was busy filming this movie.
- The sound of the shark in the final scene was borrowed from the 1946 Tom and Jerry cartoon 'The Milky Waif'. It is claimed this was done when the sound operator refused to include the original sound effect in the film, believing a roaring shark was inherently nonsensical.
- Michael Caine spoke very negatively about this film. The plot involved Caine's character smuggling drugs to the island, but these episodes, although filmed, were ultimately cut from the final version.
- Murray Hamilton, once again cast as the mayor, died of cancer just before filming began.
- The initial script featured a cameo appearance by Richard Dreyfuss as Matt Hooper.
- In the film, the defeated shark lets out a desperate roar before falling silent forever. However, there’s a small catch: sharks are fish, and therefore are silent.
- Mario Van Peebles personally wrote the dialogue for his character.
- The film was released with two different endings.
- Lorraine Gary’s last film.
