They show the crew struggling to manage the hefty hydraulic model at sea, that was operated by scuba divers. The shark had motors to control the eyes, mouth and tail, and weighed around half a ton.

Three sharks were made in total and used throughout the more than 150 days of principle photography. The sharks frequently malfunctioned due to being in the water having worked well in the workshop, much to Spielberg's frustration.
