The shark fin scene.

We see the fin come sailing in on the left of the screen and from a distance. I remember people being freaked out when they saw it in the theatre. Oddly enough, and I could be wrong, it's the first time we see a dorsal fin in the movie. When Alex Kitner was eaten, we see the pectoral fins. So, we actually don't see the classic shark dorsal fin poking through the water until after the fake fin is pulled out of the water 1 hour into the movie.

Knowing now that the fin is fake, some of the reactions of the people in the water are absolutely hysterical.

"Oh. My. G-guurrrggglleee!" Classic.

It's amazing. I've been playing and pausing to write stuff. Almost everytime I've paused the movie, the picture onscreen could be a postcard. It's almost always composed extremely well.

I love the guy who throws the kids off of their inflatable raft and then grabs it for himself.

And then screaming lady who just stands there in three feet of water is pretty comical as well. Maybe not intentionally so but what a dinglecheese she is.

"He made me do it."
More humor.

Hippie jeans with patches girl finally sees the real shark. We know this because now the music starts playing. Something I didn't realize is that during the whole previous panic scene, there is no score playing under the scene. No music. Like he did for the T-Rex attacking the SUV scene in the first Jurassic Park. Music not needed.

Michael's close call with the shark. It's another great shot.

Now it gets personal. Brody decides to go after the shark.

There's a terrific shot of Brody looking out to sea through the pier supports. So very cool.

Cute nurse/doctor whatever he is pushing Michael's gurney. He has a stethoscope...

Trivia:
What kind of ice cream does Michael ask for?

Spoiler:

I don't know if it's a bad transfer or just my copy but during the shark encounters Michael scene and a couple of shots around it, there is a green circular pattern on screen. I'm thinking it was an error in the transfer somewhere. Never noticed that before.
