Jaws 3's Shark Is Far Too Big To Be A Great WhiteA common misconception is that the megalodon and the great white shark are closely related, which is something scientists have since debunked.
It's been hypothesized that Jaws is a baby megalodon. Of course, there's no evidence that megalodons exist in the Jaws universe, but it would work to explain why Jaws (or Bruce) is so large and doesn't act at all like a great white shark.
Brucetta (a.k.a Jaws the Third / Jaws 3 / Jaws III / or the big sister or the 2nd mother shark) is the nickname for the female Great White Shark depicted in the film Jaws 3-D and serves as the main antagonist.
The shark suddenly appears in front of the window and smashes through the glass, flooding the control room and killing a technician. Mike notices FitzRoyce's corpse still in the shark's throat holding the grenade and uses a bent pole to pull its pin, triggering the grenade's explosion and killing the shark.
Roy Scheider, who played Police Chief Brody in the first two had no interest in a third Jaws, saying “Mephistopheles … couldn't talk me into doing [it].” Instead, Jaws 3 stars Dennis Quaid as Brody's grown-up son.
Sean Brody is the son of Martin Brody. He appears in the novel and was the only one to appear in the movie. He was killed when his arm is bitten off and is soon dragged under water to his death by Vengeance the shark in Jaws: The Revenge.
The shark then attacks a woman on a boat. She accidentally pours petrol everywhere and is blown up. She is killed and the shark has scars and burns on its face. The burnt corpse of the woman is shown later on in the film.
In the theatrical / TV version (US), Jake dies and the shark is killed by being impaled by the broken bowsprit of Michael and Jake's boat, Neptune's Folly.
At some point in the 1980s, Kotar was transferred to SeaWorld Orlando. He played "Shamu" in JAWS 3-D in 1983. In 1987, Kanduke, a male killer whale bought by SeaWorld from Marineland of Canada, arrived in Orlando. Kotar and Kanduke did not get along and often fought, the aggression eventually getting serious.
Shortly after Vengeance is shocked; by the device Jake put down his gullet, he Roared, something that; sharks are not supposed to do. Vengeance ultimately was impaled; by Neptune's Folly's prow, causing him to spontaneously explode and sink; into the depths.
Megalodons are extinct. They died out about 3.5 million years ago. And scientists know this because, once again, they looked at the teeth. All sharks – including megalodons – produce and ultimately lose tens of thousands of teeth throughout their lives.
Key Points: It's thought that megalodon sharks became extinct in part due to climate change: as oceans grew colder, they may not have been able to regulate their temperatures as needed. Lack of prey could be behind the megalodon's extinction, as many marine animals and fish could not survive the cold temperatures.
Fossil remains of megalodon have been found in shallow tropical and temperate seas along the coastlines and continental shelf regions of all continents except Antarctica.
The effects for Jaws 3D were mostly handled by a company called Private Stock Effects, who put together shots compositing on video instead of optical. This was a brand new method at the time and by all accounts, it was quicker and easier than using optical effects.

In 1983, Kotar played “Shamu” in the movie 'Jaws 3'. He appears in a close-up scene where the actress-trainer is feeding him and talking to him. After a fight with Kanduke at SeaWorld Orlando, he was sent to SeaWorld San Antonio.
How much time has passed between 'Jaws 2' and 'Jaws 3'? Although the film was released five years after Jaws 2, there's no reference to how long it's been. Since Sean is graduating from college and was about 11 in Jaws 2, a fair guess would be something between 10 and 15 years.
Sharks are solitary predators, whereas dolphins travel in groups called pods. Whenever a member of the group is in danger from a shark, the rest of the pod rushes in to defend their buddy.
Former Police Chief Martin Brody died of a heart attack in the beginning of Jaws: The Revenge. He was not seen, but his death was revealed to the audience in the beginning.
The most ironic part of his past was that Martin was terrified of the water. When his wife tried to explain the clinical term for his fear to Matt Hooper, Brody quickly dismissed it as simply a fear of drowning. This fear seemingly stemmed from a near-drowning experience when he was a child.
