On November 20, 2020, a replica of the shark, also called "Bruce", was lifted into place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in preparation for the museum's April 2021 opening. It was expected to be a major attraction. Greg Nicotero spent seven months restoring Bruce, which had been created after the original three sharks were destroyed and was on display for 15 years at Universal Studios Hollywood. Bruce then spent 25 years in a junkyard, until the owner donated the shark to the museum in 2016. [240] Home media Bryant, Jennings; Zillmann, Dolf (November 5, 2013).

Jaws' marks a major and significantly momentous point in the history of cinema and filmmaking, whether as a general movie-going experience or as an interest for academic study. Definitely the most obvious aspect of its legacy is that it introduced Steven Spielberg to the world and made him, who at the time was still only 28-years-old, into a household name. The film doesn't exactly illustrate a particular style that's uniquely his — that's to come years later with ' Raiders of the Lost Ark' and ' E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,' which evolved into a distinctively refined aesthetic in ' Schindler's List' and 'Munich' — but it's one hell of a prelude of things to come from such a young filmmaker. The 1975 horror thriller shows skill, polish, and efficiency, delivering the sort of terrifying, visceral punch we expect from movies but rarely attain. And to this day, just shy of its 40th anniversary, it remains one of the greatest, most effective suspense films ever made. Winnert, Derek (1993). Radio Times Film & Video Guide 1994. London: Hodder & Stoughton. ISBN 0-340-57477-1. The film had broader cultural repercussions, as well. Similar to the way the pivotal scene in 1960's Psycho made showers a new source of anxiety, Jaws led many viewers to fear going into the ocean. [213] [214] Reduced beach attendance in 1975 was attributed to it, [215] as well as more reported shark sightings. [216] It is still seen as responsible for perpetuating negative stereotypes about sharks and their behavior, [217] and for producing the so-called " Jaws effect", which allegedly inspired "legions of fishermen [who] piled into boats and killed thousands of the ocean predators in shark-fishing tournaments." [218] Benchley would later campaign to stop the depopulation of sharks, saying that " Jaws was entirely a fiction". [219] Spielberg later echoed this sentiment, saying that he regretted "the decimation of the shark population because of the book and the film". [220] [219] Conservation groups have bemoaned the fact that the film has made it considerably harder to convince the public that sharks should be protected. [221] Haflidason, Almar (31 July 2001).

Some of the interviews were filmed in 4:3 Academy ratio, typical of TV documentaries of the time. As the production went on, 16:9 became the TV shape standard and so the documentary crops the top and bottom of the image to reshape it to 16:9. There is no anamorphic enhancement of the documentary on the Jaws Blu-ray.
