Short description
This third film in the series follows a group of marine biologists attempting to capture a young great white shark that has wandered into Florida's Sea World Park. However, later it is discovered that the shark's 35-foot mother is also a guest at Sea World. What follows is the shark wreaking havoc on the visitors in the park.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, it was decided to make a parody film titled “Jaws 3, People 0,” meaning the film would have no victims and wouldn’t be part of the series. However, the plans later changed.
- The film was shot at an aquarium in Orlando, Florida.
- Filming took place from June 15, 1982, to January 22, 1983, and the overall production period lasted from March 1, 1982, to May 29, 1983.
- The producers of the first films, David Brown and Richard Zanuck, wanted to use a plot about the studio filming the first movie. At the beginning of the film, the author of the novel, Peter Benchley, was supposed to be eaten by a shark in his own pool, with nude actress Bo Derek appearing, and aliens in shark costumes. However, this idea did not appeal to Steven Spielberg, who threatened to leave “Universal” studio. As a result, the project had to be abandoned, and the disgruntled Brown and Zanuck left the studio themselves.
- The film features the largest shark in the entire saga: 10 meters long, whereas in the original it was only 7.6 meters.
- In 1982, Universal Studios won a lawsuit accusing them of plagiarism against the film 'Last Shark' (1981). As a result, Enzo Castellari's film was withdrawn from distribution. And the creators of this sequel themselves used ideas from that film. In particular, the shark's length was significantly increased, the shark began to make loud noises, and finally, the final destruction of the shark by explosion also came from Castellari's film.
- In the film, the shark can swim backwards and makes sounds. Both are physically impossible.
- The film was originally released specifically for theaters with volumetric stereoscopic screens, hence one of its titles, 'Jaws 3-D'.
- The film's director, Joe Alves, participated in the creation of 'Jaws' and 'Jaws 2' as the second assistant director.

- The producers of the first films, David Brown and Richard Zanuck, wanted to use a plot about a studio filming the first movie. The film was supposed to begin with the novel's author, Peter Benchley, being eaten by a shark in his own pool, featuring a nude appearance by actress Bo Derek and aliens in shark suits. However, Steven Spielberg disliked this idea and threatened to leave Universal Studios. Ultimately, the project was abandoned, and the offended Brown and Zanuck left the studio themselves.
- In 1982, Universal Studios won a plagiarism lawsuit against the film 'The Last Shark' (1981). As a result, Enzo Castellari's film was withdrawn from distribution. Ironically, the creators of this sequel used ideas from that very film. Specifically, the length of the shark was significantly increased, the shark began making loud noises, and finally, the final destruction of the shark by explosion also came from Castellari's film.
