Clearly Inspired By The Mayor In Jaws Under Paris's Mayor Character
With many of the same traits, Under Paris' Mayor is quite similar to Jaws' Mayor Vaughn. Anne Marvin performs Under Paris as the otherwise anonymous La Maire de Paris.

La Maire de Paris is last seen comprehending what her actions have created shortly before she's carried away in the following flood. She is at the race when the French army unintentionally lets off the residual bombs in the Seine River. Her probably death fits the general depressing tone of Under Paris, which mostly utilizes La Maire de Paris as a prime illustration of how people's deliberate ignorance may lead to their long-term fate. Although the Le Maire plays a similar part in the story and is obviously influenced by the same archetype as Vaughn, their different ends highlight the themes at hand in Under Paris' ending and show the most contrasts between the two shark films.
