The shark from finding nemo was also named Bruce
...which is also a Great White. Mind you, absolutely coincidental though. :lol

Reviving this thread thinking starting a new one would take away from this one. Found some photos I took when very very young while on the tram ride. Taken with a trusty 110 Kodak, I believe. Bruce from Jaws 2, and looks like the tour Bruce, guessing second generation based on the gigantic teeth. Hope you enjoy.

Jaws shark installed in the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles
The museum, due to open in April 2021, has acquired the 25-foot prop model for its permanent collection
I assumed they spent four years restoring it? It looks way to good for it's age... I think he's had some work done.
