10 Movie Mistakes You Won't Believe Made It To Screen

6. Jaws - Comfy Quint

One of the greatest death scenes in any film ever, the brutal end to Quint in Jaws is one of the film's most iconic and memorable moments, thanks in part to the actor's incredible performance as the grizzled sea dog, and also the graphic nature of the attack. I mean, obviously it's a great big fake shark that doesn't look all that authentic these days (though it is still better than the dumb Deep Blue Sea killing of Samuel L Jackson), but good artistry can usually transcend the limitations of the equipment.

The only thing that spoils the scene somewhat is the very visible presence of a nice comfy cushion under Quint's back, to stop the fake sharks fake teeth from really puncturing his soft, fleshy body, presumably. Unless Jaws enjoyed an earlier entree of someone's bed linen.

Just to stick the knife in on the scene a little, Quint also lets go of Brody's arm twice...
