Steven Spielberg had to cut one moment out of an iconic Jaws death scene, and it's because the memorable sequence was overwhelmingly gory.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT If not for how brutal one scene originally was, Jaws might have been even darker. With a shark on the loose and terrorizing innocent people, a team consisting of a police officer, a biologist, and a shark hunter is left scrambling to take it down. There are numerous bloody scenes in Jaws as the shark tears through the people of Cape Cod, leading to a newfound fear of the ocean and launching the summer blockbuster trend.
I cut the scene down because it was too bloody, too gory. Stuntman Teddy Grossman played the victim—and Teddy is a very funny guy, by the way—but originally, he was riding in the mouth of the shark like a maidenhead of a ship, toward the kid in the water, vomiting blood. That was much more horrible than anything else that came in the first third of the movie, so I took it out.
