That’s what is so funny and brilliant at the same time. Watching interviews with him he’s practically laughing. The budget was seriously blasted and Bruce (the Mecha Shark) was a huge problem cutting down its screen time. Speilberg was worried his career was going to get hammered. Then they did screenings and people were running out in the first few scary parts. He’s beaming while describing it LOL.

I hope he learned something as a result.

Lucas apparently did not learn much when he did sparse sets and atmosphere due to limited budgets given that his later movies had all the visuals and were seriously lacking beyond that for the most part.

Plus the movie-making travesty of the CGI-enhancements to the original Star Wars trilogy.
