When the shark attacks Hoopers cage, theres live footage of a real Great White with a rope hanging from its mouth. This sharks mouth is clearly much smaller than the sharks mouth when it attacks the boat moments later. These scenes were filmed by noted shark photographers
Ron Taylor
and
Valerie Taylor
with the help of shark expert Rodney Fox specifically for the movie. Because the Great White sharks they filmed would be smaller than the mechanical shark in the movie, they constructed a smaller version of Hoopers shark cage. Inside the cage they alternately used a small mannequin or a little person. One of the sharks they attracted got caught in the cages cables and tore it apart trying to escape. The footage was so good that they changed the script to reflect the destroyed cage and Hooper escaping by hiding on the ocean floor. However, the small person used in the scene refused to go back in the miniature cage, which was damaged in the incident.

on his 2006 film _Happy Birthday (2006)_.
