Dr. Donald “Reef” Nelson served as inspiration for the character of Matt Hooper, portrayed by Richard Dreyfuss, in the legendary 1975 summer blockbuster.

With a premise that even the film’s director described it as “idioitic” and critics describing it as “the best comedy of 1987”, here are just ten things you (probably) didn't know about JAWS The Revenge….

Jeffrey Kramer was born on 15 July 1945 in New York City, New York, USA. He is a producer and actor, known for Jaws (1975), Jaws 2 (1978) and Clue (1985).

She may have been ‘the first’ but actress Susan Backlinie will forever be remembered by JAWS fans

In 2017, bodies started to wash up onshore in False Bay, South Africa. There were five of them; two female, three male… and all of them had their livers removed. Killer Whales were suspected.

Copies of JAWS for lots of money are everywhere.  For what to buy and what to steer away from, then, especially for that 1st edition Jaws you always wanted, read this post.

A few years ago I asked Richard about his first Oscar night.  Was he nervous?  “No.”  Was he worried that one of the greatest actors ever, Richard Burton, was nominated against him? “No…  I knew I was going to win.”  

Fifty years ago this month, filming for JAWS started on Martha’s Vineyard, with the first scene depicting the aftermath of a shark attack on Christine Watkins, portrayed by Susan Backlinie. Sadly, Ms. Backlinie passed away on May 11th at 77.

Gigi Vorgan was born on 3 August 1958 in Los Angeles, California, USA. She is an actress and writer, known for Jaws 2 (1978), Red Heat (1988) and The 'Burbs (1989).

Ronald Josiah Taylor was a renowned Australian expert on sharks, lending his expertise to films like Jaws, Orca, and Sky Pirates.

Marty Milner was the first ‘island' hire’ on JAWS and was brought in to work on set construction, the Orca, repairing Bruce the shark and more!
