* Quint's hatred of sharks may be less to do with the fact that so many people were eaten alive, which as Quint would know was a comparatively rare thing, than with the fact that the sharks ate those who had died from exposure or wounds. Notice that he doesn't say whether his friend Herbie was alive or not when he was bitten in two. What he remembers is that eight hundred men vanished beneath the waves, [[TearJerker and nothing was left to bring home.]]

Fridge for a ride, not the film.

* Until the sequels disprove it, and if you discount the sequels, Amity just lost its tourism in one summer. The mayor knows that it's his fault; while Chrissie's death was an accident and no one could have saved her, Alex and the boaters' were preventable. He and the businesses kept trying to deny there was a shark to save their livelihood; shutting down the beaches proactively would have only caused a recession in the short term. Now he has to deal with everyone knowing he put them all in danger. Imagine being forced to come to terms with that while alone at sea?
* Fridge Horror in regards to the ride: You're a skipper of the tour. In-Universe, you've done tons of tours and all of a sudden, you encounter a shark for the first time. You're informed by your base to use the grenade launcher, which you thought was a non-functional prop. That's right, none of the skippers in over 35 years of there not being another shark attack were ever trained on how to use the grenade launcher as a part of their job in case such an emergency arose.

It's self-evident that being eaten alive by a shark is horrible. Also remember no spoiler tags in Fridge.

* Watching Chrissie's death in the film is much worse after reading the book, where it is described in vicious detail. Except for the buoy, which was added for the film, everything on the screen is consistent with what's on the page. That first, almost gentle pull under that leaves Chrissie confused? It's the shark [[spoiler:severing her right leg so fast and clean that she doesn't feel pain right away]]. That shaking from side to side? She's not merely being bitten, but [[spoiler:dismembered, eviscerated, and eaten alive.]] And needless to say, she knows it.

* If the shark really is possessed by a demon as some may claim, then that means that the heroes are actively fighting against a force that is not only beyond scientific understanding but beyond life itself.

* The movements of the shark might seem fake to an omniscient audience, but if you considered the possibility that this is a mutated shark than the strange movements now appear to be an evolutionary adaptation of sorts, as seen in that sharks can't swim backwards for example. And if you buy the idea of the shark being possessed by a demon or some equivalent, then the shark itself is being warped to defy the laws of nature.

** Alex had his arms and legs off the edge of his raft, thrashing about in the water. To a shark, this is a sign of a fish in distress, their perfect prey.

* "Fast fish" isn't just a reference to Bruce's speed- it's a whaling term indicating a target has harpoons in it, meaning it's been claimed, as detailed in ''Literature/MobyDick''.
