14. The Orca’s ID Number Changes (Jaws)
In the 1975 classic Jaws, the three main characters – Quint, Brody and Hooper – set out on Quint’s boat to hunt the titular shark that had been causing so much trouble around Amity Island. The boat – known as the Orca – was ultimately wrecked by the shark as it ferociously and relentlessly attacked the trio, ultimately killing Quint.
As well as its colloquial name, it also had an official ID number – kind of like how a car has a license plate. However, the Orca’s ID number inexplicably changed during the course of the movie. At one stage, its ID was “MS 15 LF”, then the “MS” disappeared leaving only “15 LF” and, at other points in the movie, it appeared as though there was no number visible at all.
