When Steven Spielberg's Jaws was released in 1975, the thriller became the first real summer blockbuster in the history of American cinema. Based on Peter Benchley's novel of the same name, the film finds a great white shark with a taste for carefree beachgoers terrorizing the idyllic New England resort town on Amity Island, leaving stoic police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), curious oceanographer Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and grizzled shark hunter Quint (Robert Shaw) to find and kill the fish for themselves. Audiences found themselves simultaneously frightened of and fascinated by sharks, and the simple, two-note theme song is still widely recognizable today. Jaws made such a lasting cultural impact that it in 2001, the Library of Congress specifically selected the film for preservation.share

References to historical events don't always check out, there are several obvious on-screen gaffs, and some of the characters' claims about sharks would leave a marine biologist shaking their head. The next time you watch Jaws, keep an eye out for these silly screw-ups that everyone just ignored.
