Jaws 2 picture

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Brody approaches the group of teenagers on their smashed boats, the angle cuts to show Brody approaching seen as if from Cable Junction. At this point, there is a huge mistake. The teenagers' boats are clearly visible in the foreground, the kids have all completely vanished, and you can spot the cameraman standing on the boats quite clearly.

Suggested correction: If it's the angle I'm thinking, I think this is wrong. The first boat to appear in that short is of Lucy and Patrick, but the positioning of the fencing joints plus the boat visible is simply the upturned Marge and Sean's boat that Sean was rescued from before this.
