Jaws would have been even darker if it had included the gruesome scene where the victim vomits blood while hanging in Jaws’s mouth. Spielberg, the director of the film, decided to cut the scene as he found it too gory and scary compared to the rest of the film. The gruesome scene would have been witnessed by a child, which would have added to the overall horror and dark mood of the film.<\/p>\n
If that particular scene had not been so brutal originally, then perhaps Jaws would have been even darker. A shark gets loose and terrorizes innocent people, and a team of a police officer, a biologist, and a shark hunter hunt down Jaws. Jaws features several gory scenes as Jaws rips Cape Cod residents to shreds, creating a new fear of the ocean and setting off a summer blockbuster trend.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Steven Spielberg revealed that he had to change one of the iconic death scenes in which Jaws attacks its victims in the estuary. Spielberg explained how brutal the scene where Jaws kills a scout leader played by Teddy Grossman, witnessed by a child among others, was, which he said ultimately went too far. See the quote below:<\/p>\n
“I cut the scene because it was too bloody, too gory. Teddy Grossman played the victim as a stuntman – and Teddy is a very humorous character, by the way – but he was originally riding in the mouth of Jaws as a boat’s maidenhead, riding in the water towards the child, vomiting blood. It was more horrifying than anything else that happened in the first third of the film, so I took it out.”<\/p>\n
