JAWS ABC TV VERSION 1980 ALL (DELETED, ALTERNATE, EXTENDED SCENES)

With most movies, a lot more footage is filmed than actually ends up in the final product. This is done to keep activity on a production moving if experiencing difficulties (such as broken down sharks) and also to give the director options in terms of narrative.

JAWS is no exception, with a large number of scenes that were cut, many due to the fact that the mechanical shark rarely worked as planned. Some of these scenes turned up in the ABC television version of JAWS that aired back in the late 1970s-early 1980s. Many more of these “lost” scenes were first available to fans on the 20th Anniversary Laserdisc version of JAWS and now are available on the 30th Anniversary DVD version of JAWS.
