The mechanical shark spent most of the movie broken-down, and was unavailable for certain shots. This led Steven Spielberg to use the camera as the 'shark', and film from the shark's point of view. Many think this added to the 'chilling/haunting' quality in the final release saying that it would have made it too 'cheesy' had they shown the shark as much as originally planned.
