Steven Spielberg recalls a very serious boating incident that occurred while filming Jaws at sea that almost drowned the cast and crew.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Steven Spielberg details a near-deadly boating incident that occurred while filming Jaws. Released in 1975, the famous film follows Roy Scheider's police chief, Richard Dreyfuss' marine biologist, and Robert Shaw's eccentric seafarer hunting down a great white shark on a boat called the Orca.
During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the director detailed a near-deadly incident due to a boating mishap that occurred while filming Jaws. Spielberg says the issue occurred because a speedboat was pulling the Orca too fast, which pulled out the planking and allowed water to rush in and sink the boat in two minutes. Meanwhile, the cast and crew were both on board begging for lifeboats.
A problem we had was when a speedboat pulling the Orca went too fast and pulled out the planking from the haul—water rushed in, and the boat sank in about two minutes.
Jaws' Troubled Production Explained The Orca sinking with both the cast and crew on board wasn't the only problem that Jaws faced during its infamously troubled production. Jaws was the first movie to ever shoot on the ocean and in turn, experienced an array of issues that caused production to go way over budget and schedule. The main issue was the movie's mechanical sharks which frequently malfunctioned due to bad weather and the effects of salt water.
