Good entertaining movie. Perfect it is not.

It indicates the non-frenzied feeding of a large squalus - possibly Longimanus or Isurus glauca. Now... the enormous amount of tissue loss prevents any detailed analysis; however the attacking squalus must be considerably larger than any normal squalus found in these waters

All gibberish, but Dreyfuss makes it sound damn believable.

Not hardly - it aged almost instantly. The visual effects were borderline laughable, even at the time.

Having said that - it is a damned fine movie that, despite the clear flaws, gets better over the years. The movie is largely a 20th Century telling of Moby Dick, but with sharks. The acting and chemistry between the 3 principals, despite all the off-screen stories, makes this a GOAT candidate film.

Jaws is one movie that should never be remade.

I fully agree, and I'd submit that's true for almost any movie that has a memorable scene, character, or line. Jaws is basically nothing but those things.
