In the Military this is called "Pucker Factor" (PF) and is a scale that seeks to measure fear by the force of contraction exerted on the sphincter muscles surrounding the anus during a given situation of danger.
Especially when you consider that what he was seeing was a camera right in front of his face, there wasn't even the mechanical shark in his reaction shot just a camera doing the close up.
Just how he was able to snap up with such an immediate, intense force. It's almost like he was pulled by wires. It did so much to sell it for me from his perspective. It's truly a seminal moment in movie history, and with that line, esp. The birth of blockbuster films, along w/ Star Wars right after.
The line “You’re gonna need a bigger boat” was ad-libbed by Roy Scheider, although he didn’t necessarily come up with the line. Apparently during filming, whenever something went wrong, someone would pipe up “you’re going to need a bigger boat.” Scheider added the line in that scene. In test screenings, the reactions to the shark were so loud, the line wasn’t heard, so they added more footage between the shark jump-scare and the “bigger boat” line, to capitalize on the comment. Works!
During test screenings the reaction was so loud, and stayed loud, because that was the first jump scare of the movie. Spielberg hadn't yet gone back to reshoot the scene beneath the boat, to include a jumpscare of Ben Gardner's head popping into the hole. Now they may have added a second or two after what became the second jump scare of the movie, but the main reason they had a problem in the first place was that it was originally the first jump scare. So extending the scene wasn't as necessary as the test screenings suggested.
This scene works so well because for one hour, the audience has been conditioned to believe that the familiar musical motif always precedes the shark. We hear that Theme before every attack, but then there is no music in the scene where the two kids are swimming with a fake fin, so our brains equate the music with shark and no music with no shark. Then this scene comes along and with no music to give warning, BOOM! The genius of Steven Spielberg and John Williams!
The way Brody backs into the closed space with Quint , you can feel how terrified he is, feeling very small and vulnerable being on the water with this beast all around them, even underneath them. Anyway, Quint delivered the bomb and Brody has finally seen a shark.
My Friend, that is called "Pucker Factor" (PF) in the Military and is a scale that seeks to measure fear by the force of contraction exerted on the sphincter muscles surrounding the anus during a given situation of danger. I sincerely hope this is helpful.
I saw this when it first came out on the big screen. After all the hints given as to how big the shark was, this is the first time you actually see it. The jump scare still works after all this time. Spielberg is a genius.
I remember 75, in this move are two scenes when every audience nearly jumps out of the seats, first one when Ben Gardeners head pops out and then in this scene. Fun fact: Great whites are really that huge.
The story behind the Ben Gardner's head scene really shows the genius of Spielberg. It wasn't part of the origional shoot on Martha's Vinyard. While watching the first rough cut of the film, he realized he had missed the perfect moment for a huge jump scare. The bit with the head was actually filmed in the editor - Verna Fields- swimming pool in CA. Spielberg spent $3,000 of his own money to build a replica of the side of Ben Gardner's boat out of balsa wood. A double for Richard Dreyfuss was used in the scene.
@@drhkleinert8241 A great white getting up to 20 feet isn't that common. Still, they're pretty impressive. I think the last one I saw any info on around that size looked even more gargantuan because she was pregnant.
This moment proves that Spielberg is a genius. Our first real look at the shark, and not a string of music. Only truly great filmmakers (and composers) know when NOT to use music.
Worse when you have a fully packed theater with a few hundred people all jumping and screaming like that . Alien was just as bad with the reactions. 😂🤣😁
This movie actually resulted in tourism going down at beaches and some people actually afraid to go into lakes or rivers for a while too. Hell I think I heard stories of a few people who were actually afraid to get into pools and even bathtubs too.
The brilliance is in the timing of the jump scare; they get you laughing at Brody's line, "Chum some of this shit!" and then out comes the shark, and you're like, "Ha, ha, haaAAAAAAHHH!!!"
Yes, its a difference to watch this in a dark cinema or in your living room at daylight on a TV. And in 75 this kind of script, theme and directing was absolutely new. Must remember the time then, not like today.
I love that in this movie, in the sky. 2 shooting stars are captured on film 3:06 Addie changes her voice. Sounds like Foghorn Leghorn. Jaws was rated the number 1 horror movie of all time. I see why. Made millions of people not swim in the ocean. 7:57 Dasha was praise dancing. Da in Russian means yes
It's true that the mechanical shark (they called it Bruce) was constantly breaking down. Spielberg had wanted to use it a lot more than he could, so they had to shoot around it. Spielberg himself said later that it was for the best, as the ominous hints of the shark's presence were far more frightening than the actual shark itself.
I had a 4 foot deep, 20 foot diameter, above ground pool as a kid in the 90s and got scared by myself in it because of this movie, so it worked 20 years later too
What makes the scene so compelling is that of the three men on the boat, Brody is the least able to deal with a shark that big. Quint is a crusty fisherman of 30 years vintage who has killed plenty of sharks. Hooper is a marine biologist who has seen who knows how many, and loves the animals. Brody isn't even comfortable with being out on the water, much less come face to face with a 25 foot predator.
Face in face with his deepest and scariest fears he had all his life...youre imagine all kind of horror under the surface and then you realise that all your fears are real.
I was 12 years old when this movie came out, and I lived in an old sea port not far from where this was filmed. I had just gotten my first job that summer as an apprentice mate on a fishing charter boat. I can’t even begin to describe how terrifying this film was for me.😂 Part of my duties was making up chum buckets. Basically it’s everything left over after the days catch has been cleaned. It sits out in the open overnight in the summer heat, the next day the sun beats down on it,… it’s a stench you’ll never forget. 🤢
The looks on Robert Shaw's face just make it extra good. I mean he's supposed to have seen some shit but he's looking at that thing like "Ok, this is going to get heavy". Just amazing acting.
@@prillman I think he means Shaw (Quint). Not even Quint saw this shark before and now he think "OK, it will be more work than i had expected, that damn fish is biger than i thought". Spielberg wantet a bigger than life shark so a 25 ft shark is bigger than normal adult great whites, most have 15-19 ft. So a shark that size is a new experience, for Hooper and Quint.
@@tiffanyeyoung1800 Whites can get that big, but usually not in those waters. The ones off the West Coat get way bigger than elsewhere because there’s so many seals with high fat content. Meanwhile the ones off South Africa fucking jump. If you see footage of airborne Great Whites, chances are pretty good it’s in those waters.
I was in the 8th grade when this came out and saw it in the theatres. I had the same reaction as everyone in this video except my entire bucket of popcorn went airborne and I didn't even realize it until I looked at my aunt, who was sitting next to me, and couldn't stop laughing as she was brushing popcorn off of her dress. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw this at the cinema when it first came out. Place was packed. To say we all went crazy when the shark popped up then would be a vast understatement.
I once said “you’re gonna need a bigger boat” to the guy who worked the boat at the JAWS ride at Universal Studios in Florida when I was a kid. The look in his eyes said “ Shut up kid”.
Why not, maybe it saved some lifes. A few days ago a woman bathing in the open ocean 500 km south of Gran Canaria, jumped from her boat to swim a bit. She was killed by a shark. The Ocean IS dangerous and man eating animals are still real in it. And sharks are big and in some cases really huge. Open water is a hunting area of the wild. And humans are prey.
i like that there is kinda a real great white that is pretty much the biggest in ocean and has a tracking device, and even a few documentarys. divers even go in with it and he doesnt really bother anyone. its just a really big huge fat shark that floats along.
On the financial side, this is the most important film ever made! It invented the "summer blockbuster." On the emotional side, it affected more Americans, than any other before it...and maybe after. I grew up in Los Angeles and during that summer the beaches were void of swimmers. That was great for us surfers!! Just a perfect movie.
50 years later........people STILL reacting exactly the same to a foam rubber shark. That is how well the shark was made and how well it was shot, and how well the actors portrayed their characters. BTW, Roy Scheider improvised the line "You're going to need a bigger boat."
Its because these sharks exist, attacks exist, eaten humans exist. Thats not a 100 ft spider or a "Tremor", no Godzilla or Bugs from Klendathu. They are real. And humans are small against this animals. Thats why this movie still works.
@@drhkleinert8241 -My point is that the people who are reacting to this movie grew up on CGI in movies. This movie was not done with CGI. If it were made today there would be no foam rubber shark. It would be computer generated. That is what these people are used to. However, they actually had to "build" the shark, 3 of them actually for different camera angles and specific actions. Then it had to be operated to look realistic, in the ocean, insult water. This is What I grew up on and admired.
My parents were dating and went to see this in the theater. Mom said they sat front row center and she jumped straight up at this scene. She also said the difference between the two of them at the end of the movie was impressive. Her legs were shaking and she needed a few minutes before she could stand up. Dad thought it was funny.
I would have loved their reactions in the movie theater. Bet they ALL be screaming together like my wife did when we saw it when it first came out... 😁😁😁😁
Remembering: I watched this when it was first released... yep, all of the packed cinema reacted as did these folks! Brilliant then... brilliant now! ... and of course THAT music! One of the most successful and... yes I'm going to say it... Iconic movies of its kind and of the 1970s in general!
The fact that even to this day people that watch the movie for the first time are STILL reacting strongly to that scene is proof that its a masterpiece
That mechanical Great White nicknamed "Bruce" was popped up to say "hello" Shark was nicknamed Bruce after Spielberg's personal lawyer, Bruce Ramer. Production crew had problems with the shark malfunctioning during filming. So, Spielberg sparely using the shark except for that scene and Shaw's Quint's death scene.
You didn't bring a gun, or a rocket launcher? If I was going to blind guess that quote I would have thought Ashleigh Burton or OctoKrool, not Popcorn in Bed.
God, I remember when I saw a showing of this in the theater, a friend of mine had never seen the movie, and when that sucker popped out of the water her ass levitated off her seat for a moment I swear..
Was too young to see it in theaters but watched later on cable and was the scariest movie I'd ever seen. Didn't want to swim in a pool much less the ocean. 🦈
In June 1973, off the coast of Acapulco, we had been seeing about 10 - 12 sharks per day. They would circle and then come up behind the boat, a 36' trimaran with 4 POB, people on board. Then along came hurricane Bernice. 36 hours of bobbing like a cork in 75 knot winds. Sails useless, water over the spark plugs ... steering broken ...
For a director who doesn’t make horror movies Spielberg really nailed this movie, which inspired a lot of directors to do the same thing, Kindom of the spiders used the same suspense pov that Spielberg did which was AWESOME!
Roy Scheider reaction to the shark is so genuine, because apparently they did not tell him exactly when the shark (nick named "Bruce") would be coming up
Fun fact: There is a movie production that is named "A bigger boat" and used a pic as symbol looks like the scene when Brody and Hooper find Ben Gardeners boat at night with fog around... And in the book Benchley describes the thinking of Brody when he see this big shark the first time and imagine that this monster attacks Chrissie Watkins, Alex Kintner and Ben Gardner... In fact all three man on the ship see this shark the first time. And, more goosebumbs...: When Hooper dives at Ben Gardners boat at night just imagine that this giant predator is still not far away...
During this movie’s release in 1975, a fan of Robert Shaw started watching JAWS in a theater, then walked out after the first 10 minutes and complained to the manager, “I just saw a young woman murdered on film!” That’s the unexpected affect the first 10 minutes of had on any viewers. She’s in an on camera interview in the most recent JAWS documentary talking about that experience.
I was 15 when this movie came out and I was surprised my parents let me go to the show and watch it. It scared the crap out of me. So much that I haven't been in the ocean or even to the beach since then. 😂
Apparently during the shooting of this modern classic, 🦈 was mechanical and kept having mechanical issues (kept breaking down). It would work, but the crew had to shoot and 📼 while it was running and functioning.
This movie was originally rated PG (before PG-13 was brought forth). I watched this in a theater by myself when I was 10 years old. For a couple of years, I couldn't swim in the deep end of a swimming pool (irrational I know, but what did I know at 10?). To this day, I've never experienced a more terrifying movie than this one.
I went to the movies with my cousin when this came out in 75. I was 8. he was 18. I sat kind of towards the front to give him and his girlfriend some privacy. After this scene, I got up, went to the back, and sat with them.
The thing about this scene is that Spielberg later admitted that the earlier scene with the dead man's head popping up in front of Hopper (Richard Dreyfuss) was one jump scare too many for Jaws. After that, this scene with Brody (Roy Scheider) scared most people a good deal less. Among these reactors, I think you can especially see the difference in scares in Mary Cherry's.
I was 10 when I saw this in theatre on the Gulf Coast. Trying to avoid spoilers, but the night scene when Hooper was checking out the boat and.....happened. The whole packed theatre lost it! It was awesome!
Please do Arachnophobia and the scene towards the end in which the entire house is filled with spiders and the family gets stuck in the bathroom and they’re still coming. Visceral reactions.
If you ever get the chance, watch this movie in theaters. Like if they ever do a limited re-release like they did during the pandemic. This film is really made for the big screen and you will not be disappointed.
Roys acting is what sold it. The look of fear and shock on his face just grabs you and sucks you in. Its primal!
In the Military this is called "Pucker Factor" (PF) and is a scale that seeks to measure fear by the force of contraction exerted on the sphincter muscles surrounding the anus during a given situation of danger.

He NAILED IT!
The typical reaction of everyone who see an adult great white in real life...
I saw it in the theater when it came out. Everyone, EVERYONE in the theater screamed! It was great.
Much popcorn got tossed when that scene happened.
Me too. It was in Nashville Tn. The theater was packed and people screamed and I jumped. That was along time ago.
You lucky Bast@rd!
Same here at theater when it first came out..the Ben Gardner one was the loudest!

It also works because my Johnson is absolutely throbbing right now
I'll give the sheriff credit, he didn't lose his cigarette even after that.😂
A smoker never drops his cigarette, just like a drunk never drops his drink haha
Right?! Even when confronted with the water, the stress, that absolute monster of a shark, that cig stayed in his mouth! What an absolute legend!
@@ThiagoMorgothlol like Ray Stantz in Ghostbusters the first time he saw Slimer😂

One of the most successful and... yes I'm going to say it... Iconic movies of its kind and of the 1970s in general!
Those first girls are hilarious
Those first girls were annoyingly cringy
@@Wesley-Thero03especially the one in green. I can’t standdddd her 😂

One person’s “hilarious” is another person’s “obnoxious”…
@@Wesley-Thero03 their accent...
Classic scene. Well done on this one. =)
6:48 For god's sake, what would possess someone to watch Jaws while floating in a goddamned innertube?! 😂
“Oh my gosh it’s huge!” Lol
Saw JAWS opening night in 1975, was 11 years old, and the reaction by the entire audience was identical but times 10, on multiple occasions😂
The Bens Head Scene made everybody jump scare, in every audience
Easily a top five movie of all time
The fact that even to this day people that watch the movie for the first time are STILL reacting strongly to that scene is proof that its a masterpiece
Imagine my reaction at 10yo, warching this in the big screen in 1975..... i didnt enter even to a swimming pool in YEARS.
I recently saw a post for a book, "A Man's Guide To Women". My first thought was, "You're going to need a bigger book."
That mechanical Great White nicknamed "Bruce" was popped up to say "hello" Shark was nicknamed Bruce after Spielberg's personal lawyer, Bruce Ramer. Production crew had problems with the shark malfunctioning during filming. So, Spielberg sparely using the shark except for that scene and Shaw's Quint's death scene.
You didn't bring a gun, or a rocket launcher? If I was going to blind guess that quote I would have thought Ashleigh Burton or OctoKrool, not Popcorn in Bed.
My all time favorite movie, saw it when it came out and I was 4 years old. Glad others are watching this.
When I saw this as a kid opening day this scene had the entire theater out of their seats!!
If Jaws head popping up didn't get them, Ben Gardner's head popping up will. 😄
l love that line and Jaws popping up like that it always gets me 😊😊😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
God, I remember when I saw a showing of this in the theater, a friend of mine had never seen the movie, and when that sucker popped out of the water her ass levitated off her seat for a moment I swear..
Same in every audience here in germany then
Was too young to see it in theaters but watched later on cable and was the scariest movie I'd ever seen. Didn't want to swim in a pool much less the ocean. 🦈
In June 1973, off the coast of Acapulco, we had been seeing about 10 - 12 sharks per day. They would circle and then come up behind the boat, a 36' trimaran with 4 POB, people on board.
Then along came hurricane Bernice. 36 hours of bobbing like a cork in 75 knot winds. Sails useless, water over the spark plugs ... steering broken ...
The look on Brody’s face is awesome. The look of “were fucked”
Funny situation...he throws bait and is bored about and the predator is there, all the time under the surface...
For a director who doesn’t make horror movies Spielberg really nailed this movie, which inspired a lot of directors to do the same thing, Kindom of the spiders used the same suspense pov that Spielberg did which was AWESOME!
Roy Scheider reaction to the shark is so genuine, because apparently they did not tell him exactly when the shark (nick named "Bruce") would be coming up
I remember my first time reaction after seeing that scene, was pretty much like this XD
Fun fact: There is a movie production that is named "A bigger boat" and used a pic as symbol looks like the scene when Brody and Hooper find Ben Gardeners boat at night with fog around...
And in the book Benchley describes the thinking of Brody when he see this big shark the first time and imagine that this monster attacks Chrissie Watkins, Alex Kintner and Ben Gardner...
In fact all three man on the ship see this shark the first time.
And, more goosebumbs...: When Hooper dives at Ben Gardners boat at night just imagine that this giant predator is still not far away...
Dasha's reaction is the best for this scene... "OYOYOYOYOYOYOY!!!"
During this movie’s release in 1975, a fan of Robert Shaw started watching JAWS in a theater, then walked out after the first 10 minutes and complained to the manager, “I just saw a young woman murdered on film!” That’s the unexpected affect the first 10 minutes of had on any viewers. She’s in an on camera interview in the most recent JAWS documentary talking about that experience.
I was 15 when this movie came out and I was surprised my parents let me go to the show and watch it. It scared the crap out of me. So much that I haven't been in the ocean or even to the beach since then. 😂
Apparently during the shooting of this modern classic, 🦈 was mechanical and kept having mechanical issues (kept breaking down). It would work, but the crew had to shoot and 📼 while it was running and functioning.
Jaw one of those film you must see on the big screen
Fortunately, I did. I was 16 when it came out. 😊
Saw it like 3 times, maybe 4, one time was IMAX.
This movie was originally rated PG (before PG-13 was brought forth). I watched this in a theater by myself when I was 10 years old. For a couple of years, I couldn't swim in the deep end of a swimming pool (irrational I know, but what did I know at 10?). To this day, I've never experienced a more terrifying movie than this one.
Ty! Jaws is always epic!
I went to the movies with my cousin when this came out in 75. I was 8. he was 18. I sat kind of towards the front to give him and his girlfriend some privacy. After this scene, I got up, went to the back, and sat with them.
Roy's famous reaction shot was actually filmed first. The shark surfacing behind him was shot weeks later.
The thing about this scene is that Spielberg later admitted that the earlier scene with the dead man's head popping up in front of Hopper (Richard Dreyfuss) was one jump scare too many for Jaws. After that, this scene with Brody (Roy Scheider) scared most people a good deal less.
Among these reactors, I think you can especially see the difference in scares in Mary Cherry's.
The funny thing is the first time I saw this scene and he said that line, I laughed out loud.
I was 10 when I saw this in theatre on the Gulf Coast. Trying to avoid spoilers, but the night scene when Hooper was checking out the boat and.....happened. The whole packed theatre lost it! It was awesome!
6:20 That's what she said.
Please do Arachnophobia and the scene towards the end in which the entire house is filled with spiders and the family gets stuck in the bathroom and they’re still coming. Visceral reactions.
Or the shower scene, that'll definately creep out a lot of people
Kudos to the you-tuber that was watching it while on the water.... lol
I watched this at night alone. Laughed 😂😂😂
I always wondered if Kate thought that there was something in the water behind her (a very brave reaction).
You can't fully appreciate this scene except on the big screen.
If you ever get the chance, watch this movie in theaters. Like if they ever do a limited re-release like they did during the pandemic. This film is really made for the big screen and you will not be disappointed.
The girls from Popcorn in bed are afraid of their own shadow lol
As much trouble as they had filming this. That damn shark LOOKED REAL!
Since that era we have footage of sharks completly airborn. Imagine the shock of seeing a Great White completly out of the water after a prey... ouf.
