Is Jaws Based on true story?

Jaws, based on Peter Benchley’s novel of the same name, is not a true story. Benchley had a lifelong fascination with sharks and stated that he developed the idea for the novel after learning of a great white shark that was caught by fisherman Frank Mundus in 1964.

Was a real shark killed in Jaws?

Since there was not a big enough shark in Martha’s Vineyard, the “man-eater” that was killed on the docks in the movie was actually a real shark killed in Florida.

What island was Jaws filmed on?

Though the film takes place in the fictional town of Amity Island in New York, it was actually filmed throughout Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.
