Jeffrey Voorhees’ film career lasted one scene, in the most famous summer blockbuster film of all time.

A speaking part was $140 a day which I got, and my friends only got $40.

My brother lives over in Spain and I hear from him occasionally and he’ll say ‘Good news, you just died on TV over here’.

6. I was fascinated by sharks when I was younger after seeing this movie.

I wanted to be a marine biologist so bad for a goodly time. Which...isn't really a good occupation choice when you're relatively broke and live in the middle of a cornfield, as my elders made clear to me over time.

But I sure did love learning about all those sharks...which led to the more colorful, fun, and wonderful anemones. And then starfish, and...

7. I never understood the crazies that happened with this movie

It is an entertaining movie. It is a fun and thrilling movie.

People were afraid to go in the water because of a movie?
I think even the local news would get involved...(And I lived in Wisconsin at the time)

I just never could figure it out.
