@@johncerutti3940 You could definitely hit them all in one day. You will need a rental car or get an Uber to some of the spots. But you could get it all done in a few hours. I know that there are some Jawa location tours in the island too that bring you to all the spots if you wanna do it that way instead.
@@DTours ok because right now I’m landing on the island at 9am and scheduled to leave on the ferry at 12, I’m hoping to catch some of the big spots, should that be enough time? (I’m bringing my own car)
@@johncerutti3940 I would hit up Quints Marina and where the regatta sign was by the lighthouse first. They are like a 30min drive away from everything. They are the furthest away. Then where Broady’s house was (not the same house now). The police station, hardware store and town hall are all real close to each other. I’d say hit the ferry landing and the Jaws bridge and where Alex got attacked last since they are near where the ferry boat docks. That’s if you take the same ferry that I did But you may need more than 3hrs to see everything.
Sucha Jawesome video!! Kudos for your time on producing this for a Classic!! Love all the information you & others are providing! Brought back alotta memories when I saw Jaws as a kid in ‘75!!! Thank You again!!!
Still the scariest movie I have ever seen, I lived in the centre of Australia in the 70’s, no ocean for thousands of miles, but I still freaked out if my brother wouldn’t come in the swimming pool with me, certain a shark was lurking in the deep end.
Thanks for watching, Jim. I hope your family had a fun trip to “Amity.” I’m going back again this year and filming this video again without a mask. Also adding a few more locations.
Hi there Derek, this is Rubén from Barcelona, Spain.... Thanks so much for this video.... I love Jaws, which I saw for the first time in 1976 when I was 6 y.o...pretty young age I guess because in the following years I was kind of traumatized specially when I had to go to the weekly swimming class...whenever I was at the deepest side of the pool I usually thought that a great white would appear from out of nowhere... Jajaja.... Anyway, since I was a kid I loved America, your culture your history your way of life...and youtube brings the opportunity to enjoy videos and channels like yours..this video is very well documented, thanks to the editing inserting excerpts of the movie, very good video quality, good explanations etc..thank so much for the video!!!!!!
Great video. I’m a native Cape Codder and my brother was a cop on the Vineyard. I’ve been by Sheriff Brody’s house as well the bridge Ted Kennedy drove off. They have since torn the bridge down. Also, if I get a dog, I’m going to name it in honor of Pippin may he Rest In Peace.
Thanks for watching Spaceman. Glad you enjoyed my video. Chief Brody’s house has definitely changed. Not even the same house anymore but it’s in the same location property. I’ve gotten tons of comments complaining that I screwed that part up🙄. Anyways I’m glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching.
@@Spaceman1968 Oh wow! Now that’s a story not everyone can tell. That’s awesome and lucky. Speaking of police in MV, when I stopped by the police station to buy a shirt I spoke with a Sgt. He sold me the shirt. In the last few weeks he was promoted to Chief. That guy is the kid in Jaws with the fake shark fin. I can’t believe he didn’t tell me that when I met him 2 years ago. I woulda put him in the video!
Thanks for the view, Ryan.. Yeah, if you get a chance you totally need to visit MV.. You can do all the Jaws locations in a single day. You will want a rental car though. There is also a Jaws tour that happens a few times a week on the island. It was closed when I filmed this, but I planned on doing this self guided tour anyways. Thanks again for watching and enjoying.
I never comment on RUclips videos, but I just had to on this one. I really enjoyed watching your video, and really appreciated your enthusiasm! I’m a huge Jaws fan... and watched this entire video with a smile. Thank you!
Thanks for the view and the comment, Jason.. I’m glad you enjoyed my video.. I obviously had fun filming and editing it.. I think I nailed it.. It’s my favorite movie so I couldn’t just phone it in.. Stay safe🦈
I watched a location video yesterday I liked it so much I watched the movie after and now this location video pops up watched it think I'm begining to like the water
Unbelievably good video..I was 15 years old in1975 and it brought good memories...I watch Jaws at least twice a year on video...probably seen it over 100 times by now maybe one day I will get to Martha Vineyard...
I was 5 when my mom took me to see this movie-- it put the fear of God into me, and is my all-time favorite movie, ever!! Thanks for your narration-- if you ran tours, I'd book one.
I love this flick. I first saw this in June of 1975 in Galveston Tx with my mom and stepfather. Fast forward to 1991 I too got to meet Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss ) in Honolulu Hawaii on Waikiki Beach.
Thanks for watching! I wish I wasn’t 1 year old when it first hit theaters. But I’m glad I’ve seen it on the big screen a few times during special re-release events. 🦈
Thanks Supercool... I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Yes, you gotta make a trip back to "Amity".. Looks pretty much the same as it did in 1975 (other than Brody's house). That house may have been rebuilt.. But it's the exact address. Anyways, Thanks for the view.
Awesome awesome Thanks for taking us back in time Just like you i am Jaws fan as well. I was born in 76’ myself. Great Them 3 actors. 2 had left us for the eternity i am sure the world has not forgotten em.
Hi Derek, that was great, really well done, as well as the locations you made some good funny comments too! Also my favourite of all time. I was 13 when it was released, I'm from the UK and it wasn't shown there the summer of release in 1975, so we read all the publicity about it for months - can you imagine the excitement when it finally went on release? Therefore people went Jaws crazy in the summer of 1976. I went to see it straight off five times, the atmosphere in the movie theater was electric as back then you didn't get many previews of the best bits, and with everyone seeing it for the first time, the shrieks and screams during the 'jump scares' was fantastic. My little sister was not allowed to see it but I told her all about it, probably ruined it for her, because when she did finally get to go see it (not sure if it was on that run or later), she said she already knew what was coming! Always wanted to do this trip and yours is the best review of it I've seen. Many thanks!
Great video! Jaws is one of my all-time favorite movies. Grew up outside of Boston and spent many a summer on the beaches of Cape Cod and the Vineyard. In fact, my wife and I spent the first week of our honeymoon in Vineyard Haven. Haven't been on the island since 2019 unfortunately, and seeing your video makes me miss it so much. I've done the self-tour of filming locations so many times, and appreciate your enthusiasm and love for Jaws. Thanks so much for posting this!
Thanks for watching and enjoying my video. It was a blast to film it and see all the sites for myself. It was like stepping into the movie. Everything looks exactly the same except for Brody's house. It was refurbished. Possibly even rebuilt. Had I looked at the photo while I was there instead of going by memory I would have concluded that its not the same house. Same address though. Anyways, glad you enjoyed the video.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Jaws is also one of my favourite films of all time. I remember my friend and I lining up in 1975 at a neighbourhood theatre in Vancouver, BC to see Jaws. We were 15 years old. We were gripped with fear throughout the entire film! I still have a HUGE crush on Robert Shaw but I know he's passed on now. I still say he WANTED to be eaten by the shark! Good times...xx
Hey Greg. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great time exploring “Amity”.. If you have time stop in at the Edgertown Police and Fire Departments. They sell cool Jaws shirts. Mine didn’t get sent over until I posted this video. Also the Police Chief is one of the two boys with the fake gin in Jaws. He’s a super nice guy. Anyways, thanks again for watching. I can’t wait to go film this again without a mask..
@@DTours awesome tips. I’ll be sure to stop by there for a T Shirt or two. He’ll be flabbergasted if I tell him I recognize him from the gin shot. Lol. Anyway, cheers!
I am obsessed with Jaws! Once the world is a little safer I would LOVE to visit Martha's Vineyard. I've owned it on VHS, DVD, and Blu Ray. If I buy a 4K player, I'll buy the new disc. I have a billion shirts, the new vinyl copy of the soundtrack, I've been obsessed since I saw it on TV as a kid.
Brother, the world will never be a little safer, I used to say that also about visiting Isreal and Afghanistan, I'd say, once the combat and violence calms down, I'd love to see the Hindu cush Mt. Range north of Kabul in Afghanistan or visit the sacred places where Christ once walked, but in truth, if I waited for a perfectly safe world, I would have never left the comfort of my own native home. Everything we do is risk management, every time I get in my car I risk death, every time I eat certain foods I can risk possible certain health issues in the future. I now just put my head down and walk into the storm. Keep your head up brother... :-)
Great video Derek. My partner and I are from the U.K. but spent 2 amazing weeks in the Cape, and a few nights on the Vineyard and did exactly what you did. We have a lot of amazing memories, and definitely plan to go back. Of course, a certain 1975 movie was the main reason for choosing the Cape. All the best and stay safe
Thanks for watching, Ava. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I’m going back to “Amity” again this year and filming it again without a mask. Plus adding in some other locations. Stay tuned.
Hi I was 15 when JAWS came out, and like you it quickly became my all time favorite picture. I was lucky enough to visit Martha’s Vineyard in 2009. I also did the “walk of JAWS”, and saw many of the same things you did. Yes you did miss a few things, but heck you got far more than you missed. The only thing I’m going to mention is the store, that Chief Brody went into to buy all his Beach Closed sign merchandise. I quickly recognized the awning that was over the Hardware Store, back in 1974 (when JAWS was filmed), and still there in 2009, when I was there. You referred to it as a “Paper products Store”, and it’s actually then and when I was there a Hardware Store. A gentleman who I was lucky enough to speak to in the store, explained to me that they had actually rearranged the store for the movie, along with the store that is next store. Then of course put it back the way it was after filming. My two favorite places that I was able to visit as you did, were A-“The Amity TownHall”. I was lucky enough to be able to go inside and, I was so AMAZED how much everything was still the exact same way!! Everything except for the chalkboard that Quint scratched his nails on. Also Manemsha where Quints shack was. I again was so wonderfully amazed how much of the houses and buildings were still there. i. e the building with the red roof! We ate at a restaurant while there, where they had an autographed picture of Robert Shaw, as Quint. We also sat at a table that faced directly out to where the Orca left to go out to sea! It was all so amazing! Oh I was at Martha’s Vineyard in 1976 with my parents, and we took the bus tour which of course included The Chief Brody house. At that time it hadn’t changed at all!! The bus driver also told us that the house had just sold for One Hundred Thousand dollars!! Can you imagine an amazing house like that selling for such little money!! Of course as I said it was back in 1976. I had the opportunity to meet Roy Scheider in 1976 on my birthday, while he was filming the movie, The Sorcerer, sadly I have to say that he was less than friendly!! Here there were all these kids and some adults just waiting to meet our favorite movie star, and he couldn’t have been less interested!! I remember he was talking to a few men, when my Mom asked him if he would have his picture taken with myself and a few of my friends. All he said in a very snippy I couldn’t care less tone, was “I’m talking to these men”!! Ok so maybe he was talking movie business, but omg we and many others like us, were amongst the same fan’s who were making his career!! And all he could say was I’m busy!! Then we went back the next day, although don’t ask me why, and he was in his trailer. Here we were a bunch of fans as I started to say before, and we were asking him to please come out. All he did was ignore us!! I mean can you imagine!! Finally we fans began to get fed up, and I said that I could very easily make Richard Dreyfus my favorite actor! Well after about 15-20 min of this, he decided to Grace us with his presence. Well a week later we went back again and all I can think is that his manager or someone must have had a good talk with him, because he was slightly different. More willing to give autographs and pictures. Well that’s my JAWS tail (no pun intended). I truly enjoyed your back to JAWS film. Enjoy, stay out of the water, JAWS on my Brother JAWS fan!! P. S. In 2009 the same gentleman at the hardware store told us that the actor who played Alex Kitner (Jeffrey Vorhees) was working as a manager at a restaurant on Island ( sorry I forgot the name) so in we went, and who do you think was acting host, nobody else but Jeffrey himself. Well I couldn’t resist saying hi to him, and acknowledging that I knew who he was, and believe it or not, he was actually annoyed by that! Now I have met quite a few famous actors and actresses over the years, and very few are unpleasant. Well he showed us to a table and said you waiter will be with you, and quickly walked away. I got up after placing my order and explained how we were told by a town merchant that this was were we could find him. He seemed relieved, although I can’t say why other than he said that, he had told people on Martha’s Vineyard not to tell fans were he works. So I got to talk to him a bit, and he told me that it was a fun but somewhat distant memory for him. He didn’t even know the year that it was filmed! Lol. I also couldn’t help but notice that, well if you notice in the movie while he is walking to get his raft to go into the ocean, his low back has an odd curve to it. His posture is off. His butt sticks out. Well, it still does poor guy. Who knows maybe he’s sick to death of people noticing him, and bothering him for autographs and pictures, hmmm is it my imagination, or does this sound at all familiar. Say like Roy Scheider??!!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed my Jaws tour. I do plan on going back this Summer and refilling it without the mask. Plus adding some stuff and fixing the very few mistakes that I made. You left a great comment. Thank you for taking the time to do so🦈
Brilliant!! Jaws is also my favourite movie of all time and would love to go here, would be a dream come true 😉 And I think you actually sound like Richard Dreyfuss 😂👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. As someone who was born and raised in Massachusetts I’ve always had a love for Jaws. There’s a book I recently purchased that’s covers everything about the film,it’s called Jaws memories from Martha’s Vineyard over 300 pages available on Amazon.
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I plan on going back to “Amity” again this year and filming this again with additions and without a mask! The mask mandate really took away from the video (in my eyes).. Plus other peoples comments stated the same. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Ha. Yeah, I don’t know where that came from when I said it. Lol. Especially when editing this video I clearly realized that the Chief Brody house is clearly not the same house that is there now. Same location though. And possibly same garage.. Thanks for watching🦈
@@dahan419 I thought the same too, but o got hit heavily in the comment section telling me that it’s a completely different house and that I got the wrong location and everything.. Nope🙄
Thanks for the kind words.. Glad you enjoyed my video. Your husband is gonna totally dig being n Amity when you guys visit next year. All the address for all the locations can easily be found on Google. There are a few websites that give you all the addresses. But if he's like me, he knows exactly which buildings were the ones from 1975.. Make sure to rent a car because some locations are far from Edgertown. Cheers..
Derek Millen thanks SO much! And yes he’s a lot like you! He will spot the scenes in a second haha! We visited Salem mass. last year because of your videos as well! Keep it up!! We Hope to run into you one of these days and buy you a beer!
Thank you. Me and my son's love the film as well. Would love to go there, as well, as visiting other relatives in various places in the US. /Hi from the Swede. I was born in 76, so I watched JAWS at 11 yrs old
Could you imagine living in the house what used to be Chief Brodys from the film , and watching the movie Jaws 😊 What an awesome place to live ..I am a fan of the film and my sister is huge film I share this video with her she will enjoy it.
Thanks for watching and enjoying my tour, Cyber Wolf. It was fun being back in Amity.. Yes, Brody's neighborhood was awesome. Had I looked at a photo of the house prior to visiting the address I would have clearly seen that it was rebuilt. Its defiantly the same address, but the house looks totally different, but still nada the same. Not sure if it was torn all the way down or just added onto. Thanks again for checking out my video, Stay safe.
I remember when I watched the movie, it was back during the first month it came out being afraid to get my bathtub, in New Jersey going down the shore in Seaside Heights didn't even want to get in the water,the boardwalk and beaches look very much like the movie, I was 24 yrs old back then.
Yeah this movie still makes me think about what’s under me every time I’m in a lake or ocean. Back in the day I would even think about Jaws in the pool! Lol. Thanks for watching Luca!
One of the best movies location tours I have ever sceen here on RUclips. Looks like u had fun and I could really feel your excitement. Your funny and have a good personality, keep up the good work.
Such a great comment! Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed my Jaws video. It was a fun two days filming this over in Amity. I’m gonna go back and re-film it without the mask and add a few other locations I have since learned about.
That was interesting, really enjoyed it! Such a beautiful place. Jaws & Jaws 2 have always been two of my favorite movies, I've probably watched them both hundreds of times over the years.
Hey Kenny. Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was definitely fun to film it. Thinking about going back this year and doing it again without the mask!
Great job Derek scouting those JAWS locations and finding them all !! JAWS is Charlie Sheens favorite movie also...You mentioned the ORCA , Seems the other ORCA used for filming went back to Universal studios in Hollywood after filming wrapped ,but i heard it got dismantled & destroyed , how ..sad . But at least Bruce the Shark aka Bruce # 4 ( the mold model ) survived and is on display at the ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES MUSEUM in Los Angeles !!!
WOW so good, I´m 52 years old and I saw this when I was 11 or 12 for the first time. My all time favorite. Back in the days when we hade a VHS, I could see the movie, rewind and se it again. You inspired me to see it again tonight for maybe the 180´the time. Tank you for posting.
Hey Jan. Sorry about the delay in responding. I thank you for watching and enjoying my Jaws tour. There will never be another movie as special as Jaws. I haven’t watched it yet this Summer so I think tonight is the night. Thanks again for watching🦈
A classic movie and most of the cast is gone. Just remember that if a shark is chasing you and your wife then just outswim your wife and not the shark.
One of the greatest movies of all time. I really enjoyed watching. Unfortunately an impossible mission for me from, over big water (UK). I appreciate your time to show us your tour and share your experience. What a charming little town Amity is.
OMG...I usually hate personal tours , but yours was by far the best I've ever seen !!! The way you included the movie scenes for each place you visited made it the best ever !! You speaking is clear, commentary funny as heck ! I don't wanna wake these people up it's 6:40 in the morning....lol..where's the swingset...ma I got bit by a vampire...omg I watch jaws every 4th of July...actually just listened to the audio book for the 1st time...its so different... thanks for sharing..made my morning 🌄❤
Thanks Lory. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. It was really fun filming it. I appreciate your kind words.. I bought the audio book last year too. I picture the characters from the movie though they are described so differently in the book. And yes, I get Sean Austin all the time!
Thanks for this, Derek. Really enjoyed it. "Jaws" happens to be my favorite film of all time as well. Met Carl Gottlieb in the summer of 2019 at a screening of the film and a Q & A with him at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island, NY. Purchased his book, "The Jaws Log", as well. They were supposed to have it again in 2020, but, of course, COVID killed that one. Back in June of 1975, I was just 2 months short of my 16th birthday when I first saw the movie and was astounded by it. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Mark from UK. It was a passion project that started with the idea the day before I filmed this. I want to go back and film it again without the mask and adding a few more Jaws locations that I have since learned the exact locations of. Thanks for watching. You’re JAWesome 🦈
I absolutely love the Jaws movies especially the first one. Thank you so much for your wonderful video it was a pleasure to watch. Please stay safe over there in the USA with this terrible pandemic around. Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺😘😘😘
Great video nice one.i went to see this at Christmas in 1974 aged 9 in the uk with my brother who was a couple of years older.brilliant film unlike some crap nowadays.thanks for posting
Good job Derek ! My wife and I visited the Vineyard last May after 24 years. There’s quite a few 3 to 4 hour JAWS tours that you can sign up for (some as high as $300 !). YOU would be the perfect guide ! I really enjoyed your love for the film and the island. Keep kicking’ !!
Hey Kevin. Thanks for your excellent comment. I’m glad that you enjoyed my video and am honored that you think I’d be a great Jaws Tour guide. I literally just Googled the locations. Lol. I do wanna go back this year and film it again without a mask this time. Plus add a few more things to the video. Thanks again for watching.
What a pleasant surprise to find this great vlog about the blockbuster movie “JAWS” and its filming locations on the island called Martha’s Vineyard, in the City of Edgartown (you know it as Amity), Massachusetts. GREAT JOB, Mr. Millen. Love this awesome movie as well. As a thirteen year old, I enjoyed this movie “Jaws” so much, we went to see it about 12 times!
What a fantastic watch,Jaws is one of my all time favourite movies.Martha’s Vinyard is such a beautiful place,maybe one day il get to visit!!!!...Thankyou,this was great!!!
It’s my favorite movie of all time. I’m going back to MV for Jaws 50 and film the locations again without that dumb 2020 COVID mask! Plus I want to spend longer than 24hrs on the island. Thanks for watching Mike🦈
Very cool video! I stayed overnight in Martha’s Vineyard last summer. I didn’t rent a car so I was only able to visit places within walking distance. Thanks for showing other parts of the island and the filming locations.
Great video. You are spot on with each location. I visited from Ireland back in 2008. Robert Shaw once described MV as similar to where he lived on our West cost in County Kerry.
I was a 13 year old boy when my Mum took me and my best mate to see it in the city at the State Theatre in Sydney (Australia)...it was a grand old cinema. It scared the living daylights out of me. We used to holiday in the summertime at a little coastal town called Sussex Inlet on the south coast of NSW, where the local waterways reminded us of the Jaws locations...it almost spoiled my summer. But, like you I loved the movie then and now. It has a special significance to me holding great memories. I’d love to visit the filming locations myself sometime...definitely on the bucket list. Amazing how a movie filmed in a location on the other side of the world had a profound effect on a young boy in Australia all those years ago. Great job on your video tour my friend 👍
Hey.. Miguel! Greetings from America.. Glad you enjoyed the Jaws tour.. Not too bad with only a few hours notice before I went, huh.. I think I nailed it and did the movie justice.. I agree, Jaws is the greatest movie of all time.. Stay safe and healthy.. Cheers🦈
That’s absolutely amazing, Jaws is one of my favourite films of all time too, if Covid will ever disappear I am going to come from Scotland and do all the film locations like yourself, well done Sir
Glad you enjoyed my video. It was an amazing experience to film it. Can’t wait to do it again without the mask this time and also add a few other things that I didn’t add in this video. Thanks again for watching.
@@DTours I really enjoyed the video thanks Derek, and will be far better when no mask involved…hopefully sooner rather than later as this Covid ain’t half dragging on now 😢
Wow what a beautiful place. I want to go there so badly. My dad and I both love this movie and we love traveling together. This is definitely a place that’s getting added to our most desired travel locations. It’s so cool how you got to meet Richard Dreyfus and Susan Backlinie as well
Martha’s Vineyard is certainly a place to add to a Bucket List if you are fan of Jaws. You gotta do it. And I hope you and your Dad do. Thanks for watching🦈
@ Hotel was about $250. Rental car was $100. Ferry Boat was I believe $40. Everything is expensive in the island food and drink wise. I’d bring a few hundred dollars to be safe.
This is the best. Well filmed and edited. You're very personable, well spoken and a great host. I saw it in the theatre in 75 at the young age of 9 and have been addicted and terrified ever since. Thanks Derek!
Thank you sir. I’m glad you enjoyed it.. I had a blast filming it. Just a random question for you- I have received a ton of comments and views on this video the past few days. How to you happen to find it? Was it suggested or something? Just strange how much attention has gotten the past week or so.. Anyways, thanks for your kind words.. Stay safe out there🦈
@@DTours It was in my recommended feed when I refreshed the home page. My guess is because I had recently watched some filming location videos from grimlifecollective.
Wow was this well done. You should do this for all the classic Spielberg movies. On my bucket list for sure. I watch Jaws at least once a year still. Some of the best acting in film ever.
Hey Derek you made it to the Cape and I am so impressed with this tour. You’ve really upped your game and it’s awesome to watch all the cut-ins from the movie. I feel as though I’m standing with you on the different spots. You do such a great job of including us - your fans... I am going to watch Jaws tonight in Chatham on Cape Cod where the Great Whites really exist. During hurricane Isaias.. Thanks again brutha that was perfect in every way!!!
I thought your utube episode was Brilliant felt like I was there with you how u walked around and showed all the movie sites loved it so much hopefully see this for real one day well done 👍 all the way from England where I’m from keep up the good work
Thanks for watching, Linda from England! I’m glad that you enjoyed my tour of “Amity”.. I’m gonna go back again this year and film it again without a mask and also add a few more locations into the video. Stay tuned. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Thanks for taking me back. I lived there for several years. Only one thing I saw; South Beach was the first scene, but Chrissie actually dives into the calmer waters of Sate Beach, then Hendricks finds her remains on South Beach. (I lived a mile from S. Beach and never saw the waters that calm.) Otherwise, you got everything perfectly! Thanks again.
Thanks for the info on the State Beach and South Beach locations! I’m going back this Summer to film this again without the mask and to add a few. We things I learned since filming this. Thanks for watching my friend.
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing. Been watching your channel for over a year now. Looking forward to what you share with us in September and October!
In my top 5 movies of all time for sure, and I´ve seen thousands. In my top 2 cinema experiences too. The other one was "Raiders". Thanks for this partner..
Thanks Andy. Glad you enjoyed it. Wish masks weren’t a think though. Kinda took away from the experience. I’d like to go back without the mask and film it all again.. Again, thanks for checking it out.,
Hey Derek. Thank you so much for your very enjoyable tour of Martha's Vineyard. Jaws is my favourite film of all time too. Loved the movie quotations. Sat here in the 🇬🇧 watching Jaws 2 on TV, wishing it was Jaws 1, but thankful it's not Jaws 'the revenge'. Stay safe fella
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Too bad masks were a thing back then. I want to go back to Amity and refill it all without the mask.
Hey Derek, my absolute favorite movie of all time too!!!! Can’t watch it enough or anything related to it. I enjoyed your video with the commentary and the enthusiasm you had. It was Fantastic. The part where you were at Quints boat house was great, when you added the Orca leaving to head to sea for its battle from the movie. We go to the Cape every year, and I think about how it was filmed there and get such a great feeling!!! Once again, GREAT video and movie!!!!
Hey Chris. I appreciate your awesome comment. Thank you. I’m happy that you enjoyed my video. It was an amazing experience visiting “Amity” to film this video. I can’t believe how well it came out (other than having to wear a mask).. I may go back again this year and film it again without the mask. There will never be another film like Jaws. It’s special, it can be copied by crappy shark movies but nothing will ever come close. It’s magic. Thanks for enjoying Jaws as much as I do and thanks for watching my video.
The 70’s kicked out some really great movies and Jaws was definitely one of them 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah man. The 70s dropped a TON of great movie content. I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for watching🦈
@@DTourshow long would you say does it take to see all the spots?
@@johncerutti3940 You could definitely hit them all in one day. You will need a rental car or get an Uber to some of the spots. But you could get it all done in a few hours. I know that there are some Jawa location tours in the island too that bring you to all the spots if you wanna do it that way instead.
@@DTours ok because right now I’m landing on the island at 9am and scheduled to leave on the ferry at 12, I’m hoping to catch some of the big spots, should that be enough time? (I’m bringing my own car)
@@johncerutti3940 I would hit up Quints Marina and where the regatta sign was by the lighthouse first. They are like a 30min drive away from everything. They are the furthest away. Then where Broady’s house was (not the same house now). The police station, hardware store and town hall are all real close to each other. I’d say hit the ferry landing and the Jaws bridge and where Alex got attacked last since they are near where the ferry boat docks. That’s if you take the same ferry that I did But you may need more than 3hrs to see everything.
One of the best movies all time
I agree Eric.. Thanks for finding and watching my video.. Stay safe🦈
It was released in theaters on the day I was born. That is probably why I like it so much and have an interest in 🦈
Couldn’t agree more 😊
Absolutely
Absolutely!! I love this movie so much!!
Such a loving tribute. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with your fellow "Jaws" lovers!
Thanks James.. It 45 years later.. An appropriate time to film this.. Glad you enjoyed it.. I think I did the movie justice.. 🦈
Hey mate, I have many things regarding JAWS, I'd like to talk about, but till the nextime as a newcomer, I'll start by saying hello.
Cheers
Martin
As a Massachusetts resident myself, this is definitely something I need to do in the near future. So iconic, and such a beautiful area.
You Sir, are a true fan(atic), thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour🦈
Sucha Jawesome video!! Kudos for your time on producing this for a Classic!! Love all the information you & others are providing! Brought back alotta memories when I saw Jaws as a kid in ‘75!!! Thank You again!!!
Still the scariest movie I have ever seen, I lived in the centre of Australia in the 70’s, no ocean for thousands of miles, but I still freaked out if my brother wouldn’t come in the swimming pool with me, certain a shark was lurking in the deep end.
The movie is just a little bit scary
I know the feeling about looking for sharks in the swimming pool. I was the same way as a kid. Lol. Thanks for watching my video🦈
Great video. We just took our kids out to the vineyard a couple days ago after letting them watch Jaws. So cool. Thanks 😊
Thanks for watching, Jim. I hope your family had a fun trip to “Amity.” I’m going back again this year and filming this video again without a mask. Also adding a few more locations.
Used to jump off the "JAWS" bridge every summer as a kid in the 80's. The vineyard was my childhood paradise. Magical place.
I remember sitting in the back of my Uncle's van stuck in traffic going to the cape watching this stuff always brings up those memories
Thanks for watching Alex. You must have some great childhood memories from Amity back in the 80s🦈
@@DTours So many great memories! Loved your video!
Hi there Derek, this is Rubén from Barcelona, Spain.... Thanks so much for this video.... I love Jaws, which I saw for the first time in 1976 when I was 6 y.o...pretty young age I guess because in the following years I was kind of traumatized specially when I had to go to the weekly swimming class...whenever I was at the deepest side of the pool I usually thought that a great white would appear from out of nowhere... Jajaja.... Anyway, since I was a kid I loved America, your culture your history your way of life...and youtube brings the opportunity to enjoy videos and channels like yours..this video is very well documented, thanks to the editing inserting excerpts of the movie, very good video quality, good explanations etc..thank so much for the video!!!!!!
Great video. I’m a native Cape Codder and my brother was a cop on the Vineyard. I’ve been by Sheriff Brody’s house as well the bridge Ted Kennedy drove off. They have since torn the bridge down. Also, if I get a dog, I’m going to name it in honor of Pippin may he Rest In Peace.
Please,,,what really happened with Ted. Give us the skinny.
Thanks for watching Spaceman. Glad you enjoyed my video. Chief Brody’s house has definitely changed. Not even the same house anymore but it’s in the same location property. I’ve gotten tons of comments complaining that I screwed that part up🙄. Anyways I’m glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching.
@@veltonmeade1057 it was dark, late, he had a young lady in the car, and was driving quite fast.
@@DTours my brother met and hung out with Princess Diana when he worked on the Vineyard.
@@Spaceman1968 Oh wow! Now that’s a story not everyone can tell. That’s awesome and lucky. Speaking of police in MV, when I stopped by the police station to buy a shirt I spoke with a Sgt. He sold me the shirt. In the last few weeks he was promoted to Chief. That guy is the kid in Jaws with the fake shark fin. I can’t believe he didn’t tell me that when I met him 2 years ago. I woulda put him in the video!
My favorite movie of all time and I've always wanted to go there myslef and do the exact same thing you did.
Thanks for the view, Ryan.. Yeah, if you get a chance you totally need to visit MV.. You can do all the Jaws locations in a single day. You will want a rental car though. There is also a Jaws tour that happens a few times a week on the island. It was closed when I filmed this, but I planned on doing this self guided tour anyways. Thanks again for watching and enjoying.
I never comment on RUclips videos, but I just had to on this one. I really enjoyed watching your video, and really appreciated your enthusiasm! I’m a huge Jaws fan... and watched this entire video with a smile. Thank you!
Thanks for the view and the comment, Jason.. I’m glad you enjoyed my video.. I obviously had fun filming and editing it.. I think I nailed it.. It’s my favorite movie so I couldn’t just phone it in.. Stay safe🦈
This man is excellent at showing the locations
Great job! Very entertaining!👍
I watched a location video yesterday I liked it so much I watched the movie after and now this location video pops up watched it think I'm begining to like the water
Absolutely amazing....i still have a bucketlist to get out here and walk it and see it for myself!
Awesome man!! I appreciate how you showed and lined up scenes from the film to your locations! I also love how you always detour the beers!!
Unbelievably good video..I was 15 years old in1975 and it brought good memories...I watch Jaws at least twice a year on video...probably seen it over 100 times by now maybe one day I will get to Martha Vineyard...
Hey Stuart. Thanks for watching my Jaws tour. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Jaws is such a special movie. 🦈
This was great! Thanks so much for filming and posting it! My husband's and my favorite movie, you brought it to life again.
Hey Kathleen.. I'm glad you and your husband enjoyed my video. It was great to be back in Amity once again.. Thanks for the view..
I was 5 when my mom took me to see this movie-- it put the fear of God into me, and is my all-time favorite movie, ever!! Thanks for your narration-- if you ran tours, I'd book one.
I love this flick. I first saw this in June of 1975 in Galveston Tx with my mom and stepfather. Fast forward to 1991 I too got to meet Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss ) in Honolulu Hawaii on Waikiki Beach.
Was he personable?
Jaws in my top 5 movies of ALL time
Jaws is awesome. I’m glad it’s in your Top 5 too. Thanks for watching.
Evidently, the film was made when normal, middle class people could live there. You did a great job here. Thanks!
One of the best things about jaws is the regular looking folks.
No middleclass people livingthere now,all elites
I remember seeing Jaws during its first Run, Great Memory
Thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching! I wish I wasn’t 1 year old when it first hit theaters. But I’m glad I’ve seen it on the big screen a few times during special re-release events. 🦈
I'm a huge Jaws fan and just loved this video. I did all the sights there back when I was a kid and I have to get back some day. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Supercool... I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Yes, you gotta make a trip back to "Amity".. Looks pretty much the same as it did in 1975 (other than Brody's house). That house may have been rebuilt.. But it's the exact address. Anyways, Thanks for the view.
Awesome awesome
Thanks for taking us back in time
Just like you i am Jaws fan as well. I was born in 76’ myself. Great Them 3 actors. 2 had left us for the eternity i am sure the world has not forgotten em.
Thanks for watching, Sarwat. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. It was fun filming it. There will never be another film like Jaws..
Hi Derek, that was great, really well done, as well as the locations you made some good funny comments too! Also my favourite of all time. I was 13 when it was released, I'm from the UK and it wasn't shown there the summer of release in 1975, so we read all the publicity about it for months - can you imagine the excitement when it finally went on release? Therefore people went Jaws crazy in the summer of 1976. I went to see it straight off five times, the atmosphere in the movie theater was electric as back then you didn't get many previews of the best bits, and with everyone seeing it for the first time, the shrieks and screams during the 'jump scares' was fantastic. My little sister was not allowed to see it but I told her all about it, probably ruined it for her, because when she did finally get to go see it (not sure if it was on that run or later), she said she already knew what was coming! Always wanted to do this trip and yours is the best review of it I've seen. Many thanks!
Great video! Jaws is one of my all-time favorite movies. Grew up outside of Boston and spent many a summer on the beaches of Cape Cod and the Vineyard. In fact, my wife and I spent the first week of our honeymoon in Vineyard Haven. Haven't been on the island since 2019 unfortunately, and seeing your video makes me miss it so much. I've done the self-tour of filming locations so many times, and appreciate your enthusiasm and love for Jaws. Thanks so much for posting this!
Thanks for watching and enjoying my video. It was a blast to film it and see all the sites for myself. It was like stepping into the movie. Everything looks exactly the same except for Brody's house. It was refurbished. Possibly even rebuilt. Had I looked at the photo while I was there instead of going by memory I would have concluded that its not the same house. Same address though. Anyways, glad you enjoyed the video.
Going to watch tonight!, Hope everyone is safe
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Jaws is also one of my favourite films of all time. I remember my friend and I lining up in 1975 at a neighbourhood theatre in Vancouver, BC to see Jaws. We were 15 years old. We were gripped with fear throughout the entire film! I still have a HUGE crush on Robert Shaw but I know he's passed on now. I still say he WANTED to be eaten by the shark! Good times...xx
So fun! Thanks for sharing this, Derek! You clearly had a blast!
Best Jaws tour guide I’ve seen. You rule. Thank you. Copying this route in a couple of weeks. I hear that piano now playing Jaws!!!!!
Hey Greg. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great time exploring “Amity”.. If you have time stop in at the Edgertown Police and Fire Departments. They sell cool Jaws shirts. Mine didn’t get sent over until I posted this video. Also the Police Chief is one of the two boys with the fake gin in Jaws. He’s a super nice guy. Anyways, thanks again for watching. I can’t wait to go film this again without a mask..
@@DTours awesome tips. I’ll be sure to stop by there for a T Shirt or two. He’ll be flabbergasted if I tell him I recognize him from the gin shot. Lol. Anyway, cheers!
I am obsessed with Jaws! Once the world is a little safer I would LOVE to visit Martha's Vineyard. I've owned it on VHS, DVD, and Blu Ray. If I buy a 4K player, I'll buy the new disc. I have a billion shirts, the new vinyl copy of the soundtrack, I've been obsessed since I saw it on TV as a kid.
Just go. It's worth the adventure. I've been and its great. I didn't go in the summer though so didn't do the beaches unfortunately
Brother, the world will never be a little safer, I used to say that also about visiting Isreal and Afghanistan, I'd say, once the combat and violence calms down, I'd love to see the Hindu cush Mt. Range north of Kabul in Afghanistan or visit the sacred places where Christ once walked, but in truth, if I waited for a perfectly safe world, I would have never left the comfort of my own native home. Everything we do is risk management, every time I get in my car I risk death, every time I eat certain foods I can risk possible certain health issues in the future. I now just put my head down and walk into the storm. Keep your head up brother... :-)
Great video Derek. My partner and I are from the U.K. but spent 2 amazing weeks in the Cape, and a few nights on the Vineyard and did exactly what you did. We have a lot of amazing memories, and definitely plan to go back. Of course, a certain 1975 movie was the main reason for choosing the Cape. All the best and stay safe
This was great! I'm a die-hard fan also and always wondered where those scenes were filmed. Thank you dude! You're awesome 🥰
Thanks for watching, Ava. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I’m going back to “Amity” again this year and filming it again without a mask. Plus adding in some other locations. Stay tuned.
Hi I was 15 when JAWS came out, and like you it quickly became my all time favorite picture. I was lucky enough to visit Martha’s Vineyard in 2009. I also did the “walk of JAWS”, and saw many of the same things you did. Yes you did miss a few things, but heck you got far more than you missed. The only thing I’m going to mention is the store, that Chief Brody went into to buy all his Beach Closed sign merchandise. I quickly recognized the awning that was over the Hardware Store, back in 1974 (when JAWS was filmed), and still there in 2009, when I was there. You referred to it as a “Paper products Store”, and it’s actually then and when I was there a Hardware Store. A gentleman who I was lucky enough to speak to in the store, explained to me that they had actually rearranged the store for the movie, along with the store that is next store. Then of course put it back the way it was after filming. My two favorite places that I was able to visit as you did, were A-“The Amity TownHall”. I was lucky enough to be able to go inside and, I was so AMAZED how much everything was still the exact same way!! Everything except for the chalkboard that Quint scratched his nails on. Also Manemsha where Quints shack was. I again was so wonderfully amazed how much of the houses and buildings were still there. i. e the building with the red roof! We ate at a restaurant while there, where they had an autographed picture of Robert Shaw, as Quint. We also sat at a table that faced directly out to where the Orca left to go out to sea! It was all so amazing! Oh I was at Martha’s Vineyard in 1976 with my parents, and we took the bus tour which of course included The Chief Brody house. At that time it hadn’t changed at all!! The bus driver also told us that the house had just sold for One Hundred Thousand dollars!! Can you imagine an amazing house like that selling for such little money!! Of course as I said it was back in 1976. I had the opportunity to meet Roy Scheider in 1976 on my birthday, while he was filming the movie, The Sorcerer, sadly I have to say that he was less than friendly!! Here there were all these kids and some adults just waiting to meet our favorite movie star, and he couldn’t have been less interested!! I remember he was talking to a few men, when my Mom asked him if he would have his picture taken with myself and a few of my friends. All he said in a very snippy I couldn’t care less tone, was “I’m talking to these men”!! Ok so maybe he was talking movie business, but omg we and many others like us, were amongst the same fan’s who were making his career!! And all he could say was I’m busy!! Then we went back the next day, although don’t ask me why, and he was in his trailer. Here we were a bunch of fans as I started to say before, and we were asking him to please come out. All he did was ignore us!! I mean can you imagine!! Finally we fans began to get fed up, and I said that I could very easily make Richard Dreyfus my favorite actor! Well after about 15-20 min of this, he decided to Grace us with his presence. Well a week later we went back again and all I can think is that his manager or someone must have had a good talk with him, because he was slightly different. More willing to give autographs and pictures. Well that’s my JAWS tail (no pun intended). I truly enjoyed your back to JAWS film. Enjoy, stay out of the water, JAWS on my Brother JAWS fan!!
P. S. In 2009 the same gentleman at the hardware store told us that the actor who played Alex Kitner (Jeffrey Vorhees) was working as a manager at a restaurant on Island ( sorry I forgot the name) so in we went, and who do you think was acting host, nobody else but Jeffrey himself. Well I couldn’t resist saying hi to him, and acknowledging that I knew who he was, and believe it or not, he was actually annoyed by that! Now I have met quite a few famous actors and actresses over the years, and very few are unpleasant. Well he showed us to a table and said you waiter will be with you, and quickly walked away. I got up after placing my order and explained how we were told by a town merchant that this was were we could find him. He seemed relieved, although I can’t say why other than he said that, he had told people on Martha’s Vineyard not to tell fans were he works. So I got to talk to him a bit, and he told me that it was a fun but somewhat distant memory for him. He didn’t even know the year that it was filmed! Lol. I also couldn’t help but notice that, well if you notice in the movie while he is walking to get his raft to go into the ocean, his low back has an odd curve to it. His posture is off. His butt sticks out. Well, it still does poor guy. Who knows maybe he’s sick to death of people noticing him, and bothering him for autographs and pictures, hmmm is it my imagination, or does this sound at all familiar. Say like Roy Scheider??!!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed my Jaws tour. I do plan on going back this Summer and refilling it without the mask. Plus adding some stuff and fixing the very few mistakes that I made. You left a great comment. Thank you for taking the time to do so🦈
Brilliant!! Jaws is also my favourite movie of all time and would love to go here, would be a dream come true 😉 And I think you actually sound like Richard Dreyfuss 😂👍
Thanks for watching Jason. I’m glad you enjoyed my Jaws tour🦈
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. As someone who was born and raised in Massachusetts I’ve always had a love for Jaws. There’s a book I recently purchased that’s covers everything about the film,it’s called Jaws memories from Martha’s Vineyard over 300 pages available on Amazon.
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I plan on going back to “Amity” again this year and filming this again with additions and without a mask! The mask mandate really took away from the video (in my eyes).. Plus other peoples comments stated the same. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
"I'd rather see this than Stonehenge or the grand canyon" LOL. I hear ye bro. Completely concur. hahaha
Ha. Yeah, I don’t know where that came from when I said it. Lol. Especially when editing this video I clearly realized that the Chief Brody house is clearly not the same house that is there now. Same location though. And possibly same garage.. Thanks for watching🦈
@@DTours Same house and garage me thinks. Just heavily remodelled. At least it looked the same when I was there in 2006
On my to do list is upload my JAWS travellog...
@@dahan419 I thought the same too, but o got hit heavily in the comment section telling me that it’s a completely different house and that I got the wrong location and everything.. Nope🙄
@@dahan419 I’d love to see it man. Definitely post it. I love watching other peoples tour of Jaws locations.
The most enjoyable you tube video I've seen in ages. Did the same pilgrimage from Scotland 3 years ago.
You always go into such detail! Thank you since this will be my hubby’s surprise birthday trip next year he’s obsessed with jaws too! Lol
Thanks for the kind words.. Glad you enjoyed my video. Your husband is gonna totally dig being n Amity when you guys visit next year. All the address for all the locations can easily be found on Google. There are a few websites that give you all the addresses. But if he's like me, he knows exactly which buildings were the ones from 1975.. Make sure to rent a car because some locations are far from Edgertown. Cheers..
Derek Millen thanks SO much! And yes he’s a lot like you! He will spot the scenes in a second haha! We visited Salem mass. last year because of your videos as well! Keep it up!! We Hope to run into you one of these days and buy you a beer!
Nice to meet a fellow Jaws lover. It has been my fave since I saw it in the 70s. Thanks for taking us with you. Much Love.
Thanks Laura. I appreciate you watching and commenting. And thanks for being a Jaws fan too🦈
"I'll get the head, tail, the whole damn thing"
One of the greatest quotes of all time. Thanks for watching Vonnie🦈
Thank you. Me and my son's love the film as well. Would love to go there, as well, as visiting other relatives in various places in the US. /Hi from the Swede. I was born in 76, so I watched JAWS at 11 yrs old
Could you imagine living in the house what used to be Chief Brodys from the film , and watching the movie Jaws 😊
What an awesome place to live ..I am a fan of the film and my sister is huge film I share this video with her she will enjoy it.
Thanks for watching and enjoying my tour, Cyber Wolf. It was fun being back in Amity.. Yes, Brody's neighborhood was awesome. Had I looked at a photo of the house prior to visiting the address I would have clearly seen that it was rebuilt. Its defiantly the same address, but the house looks totally different, but still nada the same. Not sure if it was torn all the way down or just added onto. Thanks again for checking out my video, Stay safe.
I remember when I watched the movie, it was back during the first month it came out being afraid to get my bathtub, in New Jersey going down the shore in Seaside Heights didn't even want to get in the water,the boardwalk and beaches look very much like the movie, I was 24 yrs old back then.
Yeah this movie still makes me think about what’s under me every time I’m in a lake or ocean. Back in the day I would even think about Jaws in the pool! Lol. Thanks for watching Luca!
Looks a nice affluent area to live. Like to visit when this pandemic is over
One of the best movies location tours I have ever sceen here on RUclips. Looks like u had fun and I could really feel your excitement. Your funny and have a good personality, keep up the good work.
Such a great comment! Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed my Jaws video. It was a fun two days filming this over in Amity. I’m gonna go back and re-film it without the mask and add a few other locations I have since learned about.
@@DTours Cool, have fun, and looking forward to seeing the new video.
Stay tuned🦈
Jaws 2 was mostly filmed where i grew up, navarre beach in florida panhandle. Best beaches anywhere
I’ve watched a few filming location videos for Jaws 2. Thanks for watching my Jaws video🦈
That was interesting, really enjoyed it! Such a beautiful place.
Jaws & Jaws 2 have always been two of my favorite movies, I've probably watched them both hundreds of times over the years.
Hey Kenny. Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was definitely fun to film it. Thinking about going back this year and doing it again without the mask!
This Is one movie that nobody will ever try to redo!
Tjan for watching my Jaws tour Jehu. I agree, I hope nobody ever attempts to remake this movie. I’m ok with a Jaws 5 though.. Lol🦈
@@DTours yeah I agree let's just hope it's better than 3 and 4 lol
Nice tour good info you did it justice Jaws is my favorite also of all time I was 13 i believe love your collection!!!
11:34 I've seen Stonehenge. I would much rather have seen Chief Brody's house.
Its definitely been rebuilt, but if you are a true fan you can totally see the old house still there...
Great job Derek scouting those JAWS locations and finding them all !! JAWS is Charlie Sheens favorite movie also...You mentioned the ORCA , Seems the other ORCA used for filming went back to Universal studios in Hollywood after filming wrapped ,but i heard it got dismantled & destroyed , how ..sad . But at least Bruce the Shark aka Bruce # 4 ( the mold model ) survived and is on display at the ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES MUSEUM in Los Angeles !!!
'There's Too Many Captains On This Island'
Great quote🦈
WOW so good, I´m 52 years old and I saw this when I was 11 or 12 for the first time. My all time favorite. Back in the days
when we hade a VHS, I could see the movie, rewind and se it again. You inspired me to see it again tonight for maybe the 180´the time. Tank you for posting.
Hey Jan. Sorry about the delay in responding. I thank you for watching and enjoying my Jaws tour. There will never be another movie as special as Jaws. I haven’t watched it yet this Summer so I think tonight is the night. Thanks again for watching🦈
A classic movie and most of the cast is gone. Just remember that if a shark is chasing you and your wife then just outswim your wife and not the shark.
And sadly Lee fierro taken by the dreaded covid.rip.
😢
Thanks for watching Holden. And good advice😉🦈
One of the greatest movies of all time. I really enjoyed watching. Unfortunately an impossible mission for me from, over big water (UK). I appreciate your time to show us your tour and share your experience. What a charming little town Amity is.
OMG...I usually hate personal tours , but yours was by far the best I've ever seen !!! The way you included the movie scenes for each place you visited made it the best ever !! You speaking is clear, commentary funny as heck ! I don't wanna wake these people up it's 6:40 in the morning....lol..where's the swingset...ma I got bit by a vampire...omg I watch jaws every 4th of July...actually just listened to the audio book for the 1st time...its so different... thanks for sharing..made my morning 🌄❤
P.S. if you shaved I think you would look like the character " Bob " who appeared in season 2 Stranger Things, who was dating Joyce Beyers !
Thanks Lory. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. It was really fun filming it. I appreciate your kind words.. I bought the audio book last year too. I picture the characters from the movie though they are described so differently in the book. And yes, I get Sean Austin all the time!
As you it’s one of my favourite films thanks for the fly on the wall filming the location a real honour thanks
Glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for watching all the way from the UK
Thanks for this, Derek. Really enjoyed it. "Jaws" happens to be my favorite film of all time as well. Met Carl Gottlieb in the summer of 2019 at a screening of the film and a Q & A with him at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island, NY. Purchased his book, "The Jaws Log", as well. They were supposed to have it again in 2020, but, of course, COVID killed that one. Back in June of 1975, I was just 2 months short of my 16th birthday when I first saw the movie and was astounded by it. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Hey Ben. Thanks for checking out my video. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to be back in Amity again.
Superb review of the island from one massive jaws fan to another massive jaws fan from Ipswich UK.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Mark from UK. It was a passion project that started with the idea the day before I filmed this. I want to go back and film it again without the mask and adding a few more Jaws locations that I have since learned the exact locations of. Thanks for watching. You’re JAWesome 🦈
@@DTours it's on the lists of trips to do one day thanks for sharing
I absolutely love the Jaws movies especially the first one. Thank you so much for your wonderful video it was a pleasure to watch. Please stay safe over there in the USA with this terrible pandemic around.
Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺😘😘😘
Thank you my Australian friend. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for watching.
I was just out of high school two years, when this movie came out, I have never taken a swim in the gulf of Mexico since! That did it for me.
the holy grail of all d-tours! hands down, my favorite video of yours derek. I will certainly raise a glass (or three) of beers tonight in your honor
Great video, scenery is amazing, loved this movie so much as a child ! 👍🏻 thumbs up
Thanks for watching and enjoying my tour, Rosanna. Jaws is and will always be the best.. Stay safe. Cheers..
Great video nice one.i went to see this at Christmas in 1974 aged 9 in the uk with my brother who was a couple of years older.brilliant film unlike some crap nowadays.thanks for posting
Thanks for watching Mike. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. There will never be another movie like Jaws🦈
@@DTours no never I wish I could visit those places one day but its a long way from home
Good job Derek ! My wife and I visited the Vineyard last May after 24 years. There’s quite a few 3 to 4 hour JAWS tours that you can sign up for (some as high as $300 !). YOU would be the perfect guide ! I really enjoyed your love for the film and the island. Keep kicking’ !!
Hey Kevin. Thanks for your excellent comment. I’m glad that you enjoyed my video and am honored that you think I’d be a great Jaws Tour guide. I literally just Googled the locations. Lol. I do wanna go back this year and film it again without a mask this time. Plus add a few more things to the video. Thanks again for watching.
What a pleasant surprise to find this great vlog about the blockbuster movie “JAWS” and its filming locations on the island called Martha’s Vineyard, in the City of Edgartown (you know it as Amity), Massachusetts. GREAT JOB, Mr. Millen. Love this awesome movie as well. As a thirteen year old, I enjoyed this movie “Jaws” so much, we went to see it about 12 times!
Thank you for the kind words, Shellee. I'm glad you watched and enjoyed my video. Jaws fans are the best! Stay safe. Cheers..
Thanks for taking time doing this. I was only 2 when it was filmed but still remains my favourite film of all time. Great locations video!
I'm glad you enjoyed my video, Phillip. It was fun being back in Amity. Thanks again for the view.
Creature from the Black Lagoon on the wall is awesome!!!
One of my favorite movies.
Awesome video!!!
Thanks Robert. Jaws and The Creature are my favorite monsters. They are awesome. Make that.. JAWesome.. Thanks for watching.,
What a fantastic watch,Jaws is one of my all time favourite movies.Martha’s Vinyard is such a beautiful place,maybe one day il get to visit!!!!...Thankyou,this was great!!!
Loved your video...thanks for sharing....I have seen the Movie SO many times ...love it too...
Thanks for watching Kim. I’m glad you enjoyed my Jaws tour. It was fun to film.
One of the GMOAT! Great video and The Vineyard is one of my favorite spots to visit each summer. Beautiful place with plenty to do
🦈 .
It’s my favorite movie of all time. I’m going back to MV for Jaws 50 and film the locations again without that dumb 2020 COVID mask! Plus I want to spend longer than 24hrs on the island. Thanks for watching Mike🦈
Huge thanks from Scotland’s biggest Jaws fan. I hope to visit one day.
Hello from America.. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for the view. And I hope you get to visit Amity one day. Cheers..
Nice work on the video,Jaws was my favorite movie as well.Also those bud lights looked very tasty 👍
Hey Todd. Thanks for watching my Jaws tour. Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great Summer🦈
Very cool video! I stayed overnight in Martha’s Vineyard last summer. I didn’t rent a car so I was only able to visit places within walking distance. Thanks for showing other parts of the island and the filming locations.
Thanks for watching, Philena. I’m glad o was able to show you some locations that you didn’t get to see during your visit to MV. 🦈
Great video. You are spot on with each location. I visited from Ireland back in 2008. Robert Shaw once described MV as similar to where he lived on our West cost in County Kerry.
Hey Robert from Scotland! Thanks for watching and enjoying my video. Cheers🦈
@@DTours ha ha, Ireland 🇮🇪 to be exact 🤣👍
THE best movie of all time...Great video Derek,greetings from a fellow Jaws fanatic in the UK. 👍
Hey John in the UK. Thanks for watching and enjoying my little Jaws tribute and return to “Amity”. It was a fun experience filming this.
saw it in 1975 when i was 8 best of all this movie never gets old
It’s the best movie ever and better never get remade. Thanks for watching, Leslie.
I was a 13 year old boy when my Mum took me and my best mate to see it in the city at the State Theatre in Sydney (Australia)...it was a grand old cinema. It scared the living daylights out of me. We used to holiday in the summertime at a little coastal town called Sussex Inlet on the south coast of NSW, where the local waterways reminded us of the Jaws locations...it almost spoiled my summer. But, like you I loved the movie then and now. It has a special significance to me holding great memories. I’d love to visit the filming locations myself sometime...definitely on the bucket list. Amazing how a movie filmed in a location on the other side of the world had a profound effect on a young boy in Australia all those years ago. Great job on your video tour my friend 👍
Hey, M... Thanks for watching and enjoying my Jaws video. And thanks for you wonderful story and childhood memory. Stay safe. Cheers.
Love the video, love the tour location of the best movie ever. Just added on my bucket list. Good work!! Greetings from Spain.
Hey.. Miguel! Greetings from America.. Glad you enjoyed the Jaws tour.. Not too bad with only a few hours notice before I went, huh.. I think I nailed it and did the movie justice.. I agree, Jaws is the greatest movie of all time.. Stay safe and healthy.. Cheers🦈
That’s absolutely amazing, Jaws is one of my favourite films of all time too, if Covid will ever disappear I am going to come from Scotland and do all the film locations like yourself, well done Sir
Glad you enjoyed my video. It was an amazing experience to film it. Can’t wait to do it again without the mask this time and also add a few other things that I didn’t add in this video. Thanks again for watching.
@@DTours I really enjoyed the video thanks Derek, and will be far better when no mask involved…hopefully sooner rather than later as this Covid ain’t half dragging on now 😢
What a great video! Jaws is also my and my sister’s favourite movie of all time! Now I want to go there with her
Thanks for watching Tamara. I glad you enjoyed my Jaws tour🦈
Wow what a beautiful place. I want to go there so badly. My dad and I both love this movie and we love traveling together. This is definitely a place that’s getting added to our most desired travel locations. It’s so cool how you got to meet Richard Dreyfus and Susan Backlinie as well
Martha’s Vineyard is certainly a place to add to a Bucket List if you are fan of Jaws. You gotta do it. And I hope you and your Dad do. Thanks for watching🦈
@ You’re welcome😊 Does it cost a lot to visit Martha’s Vineyard?
@ Hotel was about $250. Rental car was $100. Ferry Boat was I believe $40. Everything is expensive in the island food and drink wise. I’d bring a few hundred dollars to be safe.
I was 4 when I saw it in theaters...my first movie and you just brought me back to that. Thank you just what I needed in 2020
Perfect movie for a 4 year old.
Your parents had a lot on the ball.
This is the best. Well filmed and edited. You're very personable, well spoken and a great host. I saw it in the theatre in 75 at the young age of 9 and have been addicted and terrified ever since. Thanks Derek!
Thank you sir. I’m glad you enjoyed it.. I had a blast filming it. Just a random question for you- I have received a ton of comments and views on this video the past few days. How to you happen to find it? Was it suggested or something? Just strange how much attention has gotten the past week or so.. Anyways, thanks for your kind words.. Stay safe out there🦈
@@DTours It was in my recommended feed when I refreshed the home page. My guess is because I had recently watched some filming location videos from grimlifecollective.
@@NotMorganFreeman. Ok thanks! I watch Grim Life too.. Great channel..
What a great video!! One of my favorite movies of all time. Love your personality! Thanks for making this video 😊
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching and enjoying my video, Candace. I’m glad I was able to entertain you.
Wow was this well done. You should do this for all the classic Spielberg movies. On my bucket list for sure. I watch Jaws at least once a year still. Some of the best acting in film ever.
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. It was fun to film. I’d love to go film the ET and Close Encounter locations too..
Hey Derek you made it to the Cape and I am so impressed with this tour. You’ve really upped your game and it’s awesome to watch all the cut-ins from the movie. I feel as though I’m standing with you on the different spots. You do such a great job of including us - your fans... I am going to watch Jaws tonight in Chatham on Cape Cod where the Great Whites really exist. During hurricane Isaias.. Thanks again brutha that was perfect in every way!!!
My dad took me to see that movie in 75 when I was nine years old. It scared the piss out of me. Thanks bro for showing us the sights .
Thanks for watching and enjoying my Jaws tour. It was fun to film it🦈
I thought your utube episode was Brilliant felt like I was there with you how u walked around and showed all the movie sites loved it so much hopefully see this for real one day well done 👍 all the way from England where I’m from keep up the good work
Thanks for watching, Linda from England! I’m glad that you enjoyed my tour of “Amity”.. I’m gonna go back again this year and film it again without a mask and also add a few more locations into the video. Stay tuned. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Love jaws and this video was incredible such a beautiful place too takes me back to when I first seen jaws
Thanks for taking me back. I lived there for several years. Only one thing I saw; South Beach was the first scene, but Chrissie actually dives into the calmer waters of Sate Beach, then Hendricks finds her remains on South Beach. (I lived a mile from S. Beach and never saw the waters that calm.) Otherwise, you got everything perfectly! Thanks again.
Thanks for the info on the State Beach and South Beach locations! I’m going back this Summer to film this again without the mask and to add a few. We things I learned since filming this. Thanks for watching my friend.
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing. Been watching your channel for over a year now. Looking forward to what you share with us in September and October!
Thanks for enjoying, Mike. Glad you liked it.. Yeah, can't wait to do some Fall filming.. You won't be disappointed. Cheers..
I'm living my dream vicariously through you. Bravo sir.
Thanks for watching Mr P🦈
In my top 5 movies of all time for sure, and I´ve seen thousands. In my top 2 cinema experiences too. The other one was "Raiders". Thanks for this partner..
I totally agree.. My Top 3 are Jaws, Raiders and Empire Strikes Back.. Thanks for watching, MJS.
Brilliant and really enjoyed that tour of the filming locations of the best movie of all time 👍👍👍🦈🦈🦈
Thanks Andy. Glad you enjoyed it. Wish masks weren’t a think though. Kinda took away from the experience. I’d like to go back without the mask and film it all again.. Again, thanks for checking it out.,
@@DTours It was great Derek and I love the Jaws mask 👍
Hey Derek. Thank you so much for your very enjoyable tour of Martha's Vineyard. Jaws is my favourite film of all time too. Loved the movie quotations. Sat here in the 🇬🇧 watching Jaws 2 on TV, wishing it was Jaws 1, but thankful it's not Jaws 'the revenge'. Stay safe fella
Jaws the Revenge is on tomorrow night 🤦♂️ Lol I saw Jaws 2 earlier tonight too on itv4.
@@CommietubeCensorshipSquad Noooooooo!!!!
I shan't be bothering ITV4 tomorrow night then! Possibly the worst film ever made.
@@martinb7155 absolutely dreadful that film isn't it. I won't be watching that either, I'd rather sit in a room and watch paint dry!
Thanks for watching my Jaws tour, Martin in the UK. I’m glad you enjoyed it.. 🦈
My favourite movie of all time too. Great video, really enjoyed it 👍🏻
Thanks Adam. Jaws will always be the best movie. Glad you enjoyed my video🦈
My favorite movie of all time. Great job!
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Too bad masks were a thing back then. I want to go back to Amity and refill it all without the mask.
Hey Derek, my absolute favorite movie of all time too!!!! Can’t watch it enough or anything related to it. I enjoyed your video with the commentary and the enthusiasm you had. It was Fantastic. The part where you were at Quints boat house was great, when you added the Orca leaving to head to sea for its battle from the movie. We go to the Cape every year, and I think about how it was filmed there and get such a great feeling!!! Once again, GREAT video and movie!!!!
Hey Chris. I appreciate your awesome comment. Thank you. I’m happy that you enjoyed my video. It was an amazing experience visiting “Amity” to film this video. I can’t believe how well it came out (other than having to wear a mask).. I may go back again this year and film it again without the mask. There will never be another film like Jaws. It’s special, it can be copied by crappy shark movies but nothing will ever come close. It’s magic. Thanks for enjoying Jaws as much as I do and thanks for watching my video.
