The ways in which the film Jaws has influenced pop culture are discussed and reviewed.

The Shark Is Still Working isn't necessarily better than The Making of Jaws, but it trods less familiar ground.

Michael A. Smith

Nolan's Pop Culture Review

While the main players (Spielberg, Scheider, Dreyfuss) have appeared in other documentaries, they are more relaxed here, telling stories never told before with a sly wink like someone finally betraying a secret

Rated: 4/4

Q Network Film Desk

pulsates with the kind of admiration and genuine love for film that is all too often dismissed as overeager fanboy veneration and not recognized as the kind of passion that keeps art alive and kicking

Rated: 3.5/4

A masterful companion piece to the various supplements surrounding the perfect popcorn hit, it's the smart and insightful sugar coating on three decades of fascinating fish stories.

Rated: 4/5

Erik Hollander's 'The Shark Is Still Working' answers pretty much everything you could ever want to know about the making of Steven Spielberg's 1975 breakthrough film 'Jaws' and a few things that aren't all that interesting.

Rated: 4/5

Very informative and entertaining. This documentary doesn't so much as show how the film Jaws was made, but it's impact and legacy. It's main focus is the first film, which itself shows much history. Many interviews, images, clips, and so much more. It's easy to tell that much love went into the making of this, and I highly recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A detailed account not of the filming of Jaws, but of the phenomena surrounding the film. It's good to see what must have been some of the last interviews with main players in the success of Jaws before their deaths.

Probably the best Documentary I have ever seen! I give it 5 stars because I don't think anything less is worthy. Its on the Jaws Blu Ray give it a look.

This is a must for fans of "Jaws". A thorough and entertaining history on the making of "Jaws" that works complimentary to the other doc, "The Making of Jaws". Check it out!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
