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 film was released with two different endings.
- 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.
- Murray Hamilton, once again cast as the mayor, died of cancer just before filming began.
- Mario Van Peebles personally wrote the dialogue for his character.
- 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.
- The initial script featured a cameo appearance by Richard Dreyfuss as Matt Hooper.
- 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.
- Lorraine Gary’s last film.
- 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.
- 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 was unable to personally accept the Oscar he was awarded for his role in 'Hannah and Her Sisters' because he was busy filming this movie.
- Murray Hamilton, who had been invited back to play the role of the mayor, died of cancer just before filming began.
- Michael Caine spoke very poorly of this film. The plot included scenes of Caine's character supplying drugs to the island, but although these episodes were filmed, it was decided not to include them in the final version of the movie.
- The original script called for a cameo appearance by Richard Dreyfuss as Matt Hooper.
- The water in the reservoir where the final confrontation was filmed was dyed blue, which stained the hair of Lorraine Gary and Michael Caine. Consequently, Caine emerges from the water appearing completely dry because he had to wash his hair back to its natural color.
- The final film of Lorraine Gary.
- The sound made by the shark in the final scene was borrowed from the Tom and Jerry cartoon "The Milky Waif" (1946). It is claimed that this was done because the sound engineer flatly refused to include the original sound effect, believing that a roaring shark was inherently nonsense.
