10 More Movie Mistakes You Can't Believe You Didn't Spot
10. The Lifeguard's Magic Shoe - Jaws
Steven Spielberg's Jaws is such a perfect organism of a movie that it's incredibly easy to forgive its flaws, or perhaps even gloss over them entirely.
Case in point, almost exactly half-way through the film, the shark enters a pond area and attacks a man who is out rowing a boat near Michael Brody (Chris Rebello).
The man's boat is overturned and he falls into the water with the shark fast approaching him, at which point we can clearly see that the man is barefoot and definitely not wearing any shoes.
Except, a few shots later when the shark devours him and we see his severed leg hit the bottom of the ocean floor, he's very clearly wearing a white tennis shoe.
Considering how iconic - and, to kids of a certain age, traumatising - the shot of the severed leg is, it's honestly surprising that more viewers haven't noticed this discrepancy over the years.
We can assume there was some miscommunication between Spielberg and the movie's prop team, or that the actor playing the victim simply removed his shoes without anyone noticing.
