Quotes:

-
Hooper: That's a twenty footer!
Quint: Twenty-five. Three tons of him.
-
Brody: I can do anything, I'm the chief of police.
-
Mayor Vaughn: Fellows, let's be reasonable, huh? This is not the time or the place to perform some kind of a half-assed autopsy on a fish... And I'm not going to stand here and see that thing cut open and see that little Kintner boy spill out all over the dock!
-
Hooper: I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a man who's lining up to be a hot lunch.
-
Quint: You've got city boy hands, Hooper. You been countin' money all your life.
Hooper: I don't need this working-class-hero crap.

Trivia:
|
- Author Peter Benchley's choices for whom to cast in the film: Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Steve McQueen.
- Peter Benchley makes a cameo as a reporter on the beach.
- Quint's boathouse set was built in Martha's Vineyard on an abandoned lot. The city council made the production crew sign an agreement to demolish it after filming and replace everything exactly as it had been - right down to the litter.
- The first shark killed on the docks which is supposed to be the "man-eater" in the movie is actually a real shark killed in Florida because there wasn't a big enough one in Martha's Vineyard.
- When the shark was built, it was never water tested therefore when it was put in the water at Martha's Vineyard, it sank straight to the ocean floor. It took a team of divers to retrieve it.
