- Bruce the shark is home after being installed at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, in Los Angeles.
Back in march 2018, The Daily Jaws reported ‘Junkyard Jaws’, the last known remaining original mould of Bruce the shark used in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975), was to be restored by Greg Nicotero (executive producer, special effects make-up effects supervisor and director on The Walking Dead), and exhibited at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.

It’s really cool that they restored the shark from Jaws. A little bit of film history has been resurrected for all to see.
Actually he's a copy. The studio thought that the movie was going to bomb so as soon as filming wrapped they destroyed all three filming models. This one never appeared on screen.
@@joshuaplotkin8826correct it's made from the same moulds as the real sharks
Perfect Jaws tribute to have Nicotero restore Bruce! Next, rebuild the Orca!
Agree!
The Shark is STILL Working!
WOW ! Fantastic vid Ross, Bruce restored to A1 condition.
Surprised this wasn't done years ago, surely people could've united on Martha's Vineyard itself ! Such a shame the ORCA wasn't kept intact, but hindsight's a wonderful thing.
Just shows what a classic movie it still is, nearly 50 years after it's release. Hopefully, thanks to Ian & Co making ' The Shark is Broken', bringing JAWS to the attention of a whole new generation, along with you guys at The Daily JAWS, the legacy is only getting strengthened !
Jaws will forever be my all-time favorite movie! ✌🏾✌🏾👍👍🦈🦈🦈
mine too
The only non screen used Bruce. He will live forever. Legendary. Wonder how many people worldwide were afraid to go into the water ? Or bath. Or pool.
My favorite movie of all time. I'm glad someone took on this project to restore the shark. I remember seeing the movie on the big screen when it came out. When my family vacationed at the Cape that year, nobody was going in the water. That's what an impact it had on people.
Yeah, I heard that about the restoration awhile ago, it's great to see this Greg interview. (I actually have a mini Bruce head that Greg was involved in making). They did a great job on the restoration (although you can see the difference from the original Bruce, but the resto looks slightly more realistic than Bruce himself).
the Orca deserves to undergo a restoration and put on display
It was destroyed
@@ajjy1110 somebody should reproduce a duplicate of it
Saw it at the academy museum the other month - it’s so well done and the presentation is marvelous. Would be a dream to take it home (well, I’d need a bigger home first) with me haha
I’ve met Greg and I thought he was a lovely guy,now knowing how much he loves Jaws he just couldn’t get anymore awesome.!
Copy or not, it's nice to have a 'physical connection' to one's favorite film (or tv show). Cast from the same mould as the three originals, the lineage is there for authenticity and there is NOTHING more Iconic than the shark from JAWS! Everybody recognizes it. Kudos on a job (resto) well done and thanks for rescuing and preserving Bruce for all the fans of JAWS, past, present and future. Thanks, too, Academy Museum for making Bruce's display possible and it accessible to the public, for all to experience and enjoy. 👍🦈
So Cool! They did an AMAZING JOB!
Thank you for posting this, Ross. It's very inspiring!
A little constructive criticism: I'm not crazy about the cut-aways to the questions (the blue, noisy question segments). Too startling, and a bit annoying and cheesy, TBH. Something more subtle would have been much better, maybe a fade to a black background with the questions in white lettering and no music, or more mellow Jaws music at a lower volume, for example. Thanks
Preservation is very important
Really fascinating - such a big moment for Steven and his remarkable vision.
I loved the movie “Jaws” and always will!!!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
Awesome,how about rebuilding the ORCA boat from the movie now and put that in the museum along with Bruce the shark,of course the boat would have to be rebuilt from scratch cause there's nothing left of the original boat
I would love to own a miniaturized duplicate of that shark
Wait..he has the original Werewolf costume from the Howling? o.0 and that's not in a museum?
I’m thinking about how you patched the bottom of the shark up because the bottom of the shark would of a hole in it so the mechanical stuff could get in
It's ironic, originally the shark was going to be seen much more, but the crew had continuous problems with the mechanics of the shark, Spielberg said it ended up working out better because we see the sharks perspective quite a bit, along with that legendary theme music that put you there in the water. To the crew Bruce was kind of a piece of crap.
Jaws, the novel, was underwhelming. The plot was different and the characters not as appealing. The adaptation for the film was spot on. They kept the plot simple (no love triangles) which is why it was so successful. It was black and white, man vs. monster. I do recommend Benchley's book "Shark" which details his actual encounters with real sharks. It is informative and much more exciting having the knowledge that his experiences were real. As an former Museum preparator I appreciate the restoration of "Bruce". I would have loved to have been a part of it.
This guy really made Bruce look great
Love jaws
Great job here, thank you for restoring such a cinematic treasure!! My question is, even though its a prop, would you swim with it!?😊 I don't know if I could personally lol.
Such a shame that the original ORCA, which was on Universal lot, was simply trashed and disposed of!!
just like the shark, there was m ore than one Orca.
Great artist.
That is so awesome!
Is it me, or is Greg slowly morphing into George A. Romero?
There’s a video of one of the sharks from Jaws The Revenge sitting and rotting away for years
Im looking at it and i can't understand, is that Vengance Shark restorated and stylised to Bruce, or it IS Bruce? Because im looking at it and it remind me Vengance Shark
Hello, Who can I speak to about using a clip from the video? Thanks.
What we need now is a collectible of the gimble model
The best thing (and the worst) is that Jaws was based on real story. Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916.
Love ❤️
I saw King Kong and jaws first at the movies in the early 70s
Now for the Orca!!
definitely
There is no Orca to restore they would have to build a new one from scratch, the original one was left to rot at Universal in the water.
tht was destroyed and scrapped by universal
Thank God there's nothing like that roaming around in the oceans.
Otherwise, I would be shocked beyond belief to even go in the ocean ever again.
they don't make 'em like that anymore :(
5:07 for anyone who ever wondered if Jaws was male or female
Wondeer what he thinks of how much damage this movie did to how we view sharks. Don't get me wrong, Jaws is in my top three favorite movies of all time, but this is an issue. Sharks are not mindless demons who prowl the oceans looking to eat us. We just happen to be in their realm when they are feeding.
That's due to stupidity, from the viewers that freaked out about sharks. Many people that actually saw Jaws would however be fascinated by them and want to learn more about them. The fear of the Shark was by the same people that feared other people for being different, or a something they didn't understand nor want to understand.
Am I getting this wrong? This ISN’T the screen-used BRUCE shark - it’s the restored Universal tourist display shark (albeit from the original mould) Too bad none of the REAL Bruce sharks from the film still exist
correct
Claspers: so it was a male shark.
the interstitial music is unneeded and somewhat annoying.
Jaws was 25 feet according to quint but that shark would have been MASSIVE seeing it out of the water like that. What a fantastic job!
They hung the shark in the display wrong.
The shark should be coming up from beneath,not down from the sky
Yeh great , stop talking and show us then , blah blah blah
Love jaws
