I’m putting together all of my Jaws documentary DVD’s and was wondering if anyone had any “rare” footage that I might be interested in?

Please let me know what you got. Thus far, I have 3 DVD’s planned.

I’m especially interested in anyone who might have a copy of “the making of Jaws 3: SHARKS DON’T DIE” or the making of Jaws The Revenge.

I had intended to compile a bunch of material for Jaws 3 & 4 but the trader I was talking to about the "making of" specials for 3 & 4 disappeared.

I do have the short featurette on 3D that's on the Dial M For Murder DVD (well one of the releases). It has interview snippets with the director of Jaws 3 talking about the 3D process.

I've been dying for both of them. I've actually never seen the making of 3. I had the making of The Revenge on VHS when it first came out but I'm sure I erased it shortly thereafter. I remember a lot of stuff about the tank that they filmed in. I think it might have been hosted by Lance Guest.

I'll see if I can get in touch with the trader who was going to give me those 2 specials.

I've also dug up the low-quality RM file I have that's a WORTV promo for the "Making of Jaws 3-D: Sharks Don't Die" special.

I think that the Jaws The Revenge special was on WWOR (channel 9, is it?) or maybe it was WPIX (used to be channel 11).

OH and btw...if anyone is looking to design inserts/artwork for these, that'd be great. I'd like to torrent them with the discs.

I'm almost done with the first one so please contact me if you're interested.

I wouldn't mind taking a crack at covers for the discs.

I might've asked you this before but did you ever get copies of the "Jaws In-Depth" DVDs that someone was making and selling on eBay?

Yeah...i got the one that had In The Teeth of Jaws and the Martha's Vineyard footage. Unfortunately, I can't find another source for either special so I might just torrent the one I have.

Again, if anyone has some rare jaws footage, please let me know!

So you have all of the following:
* In the Teeth of Jaws (UK BBC Documentary)
* Page To Screen: Jaws (US Bravo Documentary)
* New England: Our Way (Rare US 1974 Documentary)
* Jaws: The E! True Hollywood Story

I have yet to pick up the 30th anniversary edition of Jaws - are any of the above included in that commercial release (ie. meaning they won't be included in your set)?

Nope. None of them are included in that.

A bit of necromancy digging this thread up, but there are some Jaws expecters here and I was wondering - is every scene and feature from Jaws 4 Disc Laserdisc set in this special edition Jaws DVD? I'm wondering whether it's worth picking up the LD set.
