MythBusters: Jaws Special (2005)
Episode 18, Season 3
Entertaining but flawed
6 August 2006 - 3 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
A very entertaining show with a great premise, but let down by one simple fact.
The shark in Jaws was huge. Maybe the only myth they should have busted was that Great Whites don't grow that big.
Unfortunately, ignoring the shark from the film, and instead going on an "average" Great White, means that most of the "Myths" are busted because real sharks aren't as strong as the shark depicted.
This just made the whole show a bit of an anticlimax for me. I wish they had scaled up to the Jaws shark and tested the myths for it.
All in all some great background to Jaws, but all a bit predictable after they go with real-life sharks.
