I know. But, then again, looking at the stills at [1] it becomes more credible. The JPS^{talk to me} 19:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violations

Please DO NOT copy and paste material from other websites.
Many new editors have recently been lifting huge sections from other websites, particularly the IMDB. These are usually the 'Trivia' and 'Alternative versions' sections.
I have now inserted system messages to hopefully deter this happening in the future. I appreciate that such messages should be used sparingly, but I think we should keep them until the current spate of copyvios stops. The JPS 20:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

The actual 'trivia' section was written with such poor grammar and syntax that it does indeed look like it originally came from those dumbasses down at imdb. I've done my best to put commas in whee the should be and delete superfluous stuff.

Another big anon edit

What about this anon edit? [2] I've done a quick Google search and I can't find a source, but I'm always suspicious of big additions by anons. The JPS^{talk to me} 13:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I think someone with a current DVD could clear that up, quite easily. Either way, it still needs to be rewritten so that it reads more like an encyclopedia (if it's true). Bignole

I have the 1999 R1 DVD, but don't have access to the TV version. I can't remember hearing any opening narration on a BBC broadcast. The JPS^{talk to me} 13:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

The TV version ends with Jake dead, and the shark just impaled and drifting to the bottom of the ocean.Bignole

Yes I believe it does. I saw it on Chiller and AMC recently. The Stone Cutter (talk to me) 13:29 21 August 2006 (UTC)

POV?

Does anybody think that the sentnace 'It is considered one of the worst movies ever made, with a rank in the worst 50 on the Internet Movie Database's Bottom 100' is a bit POV, even if it is sourced? --IvanKnight69 11:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to revamp the lead, which will mean that line won't have as much prominence. Soem films are known for their badness (Plan 9, etc), and JtR is probably one of them. As long as it can be sourced, it's OK. The JPS^{talk to me} 11:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Cultural impact

I removed the Doctor Who bit. "Now it's personal" is a fairly common movie cliche, and the fact that some character in a British tv show said it means nothing to the article and to most readers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Justanotherguy (talk • contribs) 00:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

That's fine, sometimes people add original research to articles and it never gets caught.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Explosion and flashback

In the TV version I saw the movie ended with Brody actively blowing up the shark - I can't be sure but I think he and Jake got the shark to swallow some sort of device, and Brody later activates the device, blowing the shark to bits. Before pressing the button, however, there is a flashback to his father saying "Smile, you son of a bitch". Has anyone else seen this? I saw this well over 10 years ago so my memory of it may be flawed, which is why I haven't actually made an edit. Steve m203 09:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, In the TV version, instead of the shark blowing up, the shark actully is stuck on the poll Ellen [Brody] used to blow him up in the DVD version, and struggles and dies. And Jake does not survive. The Stone Cutter (Talk to Me) 11:25, 25, November 2008 (UTC)
