I bought the 30th anniversary edition of "Jaws" to get this because it was advertised as never before on DVD. Not so I realize as the same documentary appears on the 20th anniversary edition. Still enjoyable and informative, however.
Follow Ups:
It's shark week on TDC, and the Mythbusters took on a bunch of Jaws and general shark-related myths. Really good two hour long show, some of the highlights being:- Jamie donning chainmail gauntlets, diving with reef sharks, standing in front of a box of chum and punching them in the nose to see if it makes them angry. That guy has a pair.
- Shooting an M1 carbine at a scuba tank to see if it blows up
- Ramming a 1.5 ton shark replica, towed by an armored personell carrier, into a boat to see if sharks can sink them
Just a Jaws related aside. This episode should be included with the next Jaws anniversary release.

Must have been some great times hanging around Robert Shaw. The best of the bunch, and on a boat too!
In the documentary Dreyfus says Shaw was very talented but extremely competetiveand that was his "flaw".
I seriously doubt Robert Shaw was the "Best of the Bunch" if you were on the set with him. He was an alcoholic and drunk most of the time on the set which wrecked a lot of filming sessions. If you watch closely, you can tell which clips where Shaw was drunk during the scene where he tells the story about being on the USS Indianapolis in WWII.Mr. Spindlelegs

The special edition d.v.d. has some good information relative to Shaw. Apparently, Shaw was of the old Hollywood - harder edged men, who frequently drank, and were a little on the rough side. Apparently, he picked on Dreyfus because he thought of Dreyfus as the new Hollywood - liberal, and softer. He also came up with that great speech about his Navy ship going down in the drink, and the crew being eaten by sharks. I highly recommend the special edition d.v.d. for those enlightened persons who enjoyed the film.
Actually that Indianapolis speech was the work of two other men and Shaw put the finishing touches on it.
What a good post! All of which points to why I like Robert Shaw.
Sad blood had so squirt out of his mouth in the movie.I’m wondering, did they show something like this about a year ago? (On TV?)
And, as far as Hollywood goes, in my humble opinion, he was right! :)
