So time for some more Jaws fun facts!
In the beginning of the movie, we "are the shark" as it approaches its first victim, Chrissie aka Susan Backline. We see her being brutally toyed with being dragged back and forth through the water.
In order to do that, two 300 pound weights were attached to Susan and were tugged by two sets of crewmen, one pulling left, one pulling right. This "little" scene took 3 days to film!
It's said that the pain on her face is real, because the frame she was strapped to supposedly broke her ribs, but she denied this in interviews. So who's to say?!
Stay tune for next week where I tell you more secrets about the movie that scared people out of the water! (Muwhahaha!) ;)
wow! I did not relaize that they did it that way. Regardless of what she is not saying, I would bet that hurt! xx
