Jaws
Jaws isn’t only the movie that invented the summer blockbuster – it’s also a classic example of how filmmakers can achieve so much with relatively so little.
With its relatively modest budget, everything had to go off without a hitch for the movie to work. To create the atmosphere of dread that was absolutely vital, a lot of extras were needed to facilitate the vibe.
They did a pretty good job, except for one beachgoer. While everyone’s freaking out about a currently-in-progress shark attack, he romps in the water completely carefree, grinning like he’s on Baywatch.
