Burt Lancaster's character has lunch with his grandson played by Macaulay Culkin and they discuss the ocean. The grandpa talks about fish and sharks and the kid replies with, "Like the shark in Jaws"? The Granpda then says, "Yes like the shark in Jaws. That is the exception to the rule." Also, when seeing Bill Pullman in the pool reading a newspaper, Kevin Spacey puts his hand up to his forehead (acting as a fin) and runs toward the pool while humming the Jaws theme song.
