Jaws - WTF Happened To This Movie?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster, but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs.
In this episode we explore the groundbreaking hit JAWS, a movie that kick-started not only director Steven Spielberg's career, but also what came to be known as the "summer blockbuster" as it drew in massive crowds to be shocked and wowed in the summer months like never before. Starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss and based on the novel by Peter Benchley, JAWS was fraught with production woes from the beginning, not least of which was a testy mechanical shark named "Bruce" and the primadonna of all movies shot on the water; mother nature. Still, it ended up all being worth it, but it was no easy task to get there, begging the question; WTF happened to this movie?

Jaws ages so well because of the perfect cast, which is the real backbone of this film.
4 am here and my tired eyes read that as "jews age so well" and i thought well, thats a weird and racist compliment to Spielberg.
And that shot of Brody sitting on the beach when the Kintner boy gets attacked. That camera effect so encapsulates the sickening feeling he must have had and translates it to the audience perfectly.
@@PooooLsharK a
Perfect cast and perfect level of effects. Movies these days rely on effects to tell the story far too much and it just becomes redundant. With Jaws, you only see enough of the shark for it to be scary, but not so much you get tired of seeing it. A lot of modern directors could learn the art of subtly.
Beach attendance decreased? Hell, I checked my bathwater for months after seeing it.
Indeed. I was so scared of sharks I couldn't sleep on my parent's water bed.
A five year old me was very weary of the toilet after seeing the film.
I still do. No bath bubbles for me. If I can't see through it, there's something in it that will eat me.
@@CBright7831 mate u just made me have a flashback to 5 year old me😲 "goolies go to college" 😲 the toilet scene, they put it on the ads to a kids movie and get this I only thought it bit his arse...little did i know....but on jaws i still dont go in water i can't see through
im still scared to go to beaches lol
I saw the film in 1975 when I was 18 years old. I've lived all my life in Daytona Beach, Florida. I was terrified of the water for a long, long time after seeing Jaws.. I hardly dared dip my feet in and if a scrap of seaweed brushed me I leapt out of the water shrieking like a fool. Its one of my favorite movies and I never miss it when it happens to be on television.
The triad between Dreyfus, Schieder and Shaw is almost hypnotic. Spielberg should have extended the second act, a bit more, but I dont think the audience could handle it. Darn near a perfect film.
Those 3 guys together are magic.
One of the most re watchable film of all time.
I probably watched it three times in one day when I was 12.. I like Jaws 2 and 3 also.
so true.... i still watch it to this day
I totally agree!
I recently watched a Dick Cavett interview from '92 with Steven Soderbergh where he claimed to have seen Jaws 27 times in a theater during its initial release. I saw it twice as a 10 year old and only remembered it as scary. During its '79 rerelease I saw it 4 times and realized what a great film it was. I couldn't say how many times I've seen it since, but it's still my favorite.
3 times a week.
One of the greatest films of all time, it's amazing how it even got made.
It's also aged well. Although their hairstyles and most of the clothes are horrific 🤣😂
NATsoHIGH ! that’s how people dressed
If you watch the 1950s' movie CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON you will see that they used a lot from that movie. Even the score you can tell it has a JAWS theme in it.
That's some bad hat Harry.
Jaws is one of my favorite films of all time. John Williams' two-note theme is simple but very effective.
Two notes followed by the bassoon-upswing.
Thank you broken record
Sir Shankalicious Dredwick III
Williams gave us some serious Stravinsky vibe.
The barrel chase music is outstanding!
so thrilling and encompasses the adventure so well. Raiders used something similar later.
it is truly memorable; captured the urgency of the moment perfectly ...absolutely unforgettable ...i was 10 yrs old when i saw it in the theater
I saw this movie on its 40th anniversary in the theatre, in the oldest running theatre in Canada. And it was still awesome
I'm jealous! So wanted to see this in Theaters! I watched this movie secretly in the 80's cause my parents wouldn't let me watch, lol, they found out while we watched for what they thought was my 1st time at age 10, when I went " don't go swimming, u just ate!" Lol we own at pool, and my parents were always yelling no swimming after drink or eating.
I saw it on a re release in Scotland.
They play it on the river every year in Texas at night. It's scarier than shit.
@@donovanchilton5817 where in Texas?
I saw in the theater again on the 40th anniversary too. STILL love it!
Despite all of the setbacks and constant problems during production, Spielberg still somehow managed not only to complete the film but delivered an absolute masterpiece that remains a classic film today almost 50 years after it’s original release. If anything, “Jaws” represents how the almost impossible and highly improbable can be realised and achieved.
Imagine seeing Jaws at age 13 already having a fear of the water and your name is Alex. Took me years to be comfortable swimming in the ocean.
To be fair it's an amazing feat you have overcome your fears and can actually swim in the ocean!
@@bobdigi500 Hi Bob, took a long time and was readily helped by a beautiful girl who loved the ocean.
Cheers.
"The Shark is not working. The Shark is not working."
"The shark is working. The boat is sinking."
I wanna KNO WHAT TF HAPPENED AFTER THIS MOVIE 😂😂😂
wstine79 there is no excuse for cats after hearing this. Lol
HAHA!
Later that day...
"The shark is still working. The boat is stable now. The sun is going down."
Bruce was great on paper...........but, in the water, that was another story!
Still one of the greatest movies ever made and arguably my all-time favorite. Yeah the mechanical shark was a nightmare but even with all of ridiculous technology we have today, no one has come close to being as effective as the shark in Jaws.
They really didn't need to show that much of the shark. Rarely do sharks leave the water.
Disgustacle lol true story.. The shark not working was the best thing that could’ve possibly happened to that movie.
That shark is AWESOME!!!
@@Deploracle You might want to watch Shark Week. Great Whites REGULARLY leave the water after prey.
@@Deploracle it does in Jaws 4
so glad this hasn't been "rebooted"
some things are best left classics
I kind of wish that it was though,keep the story exactly the same just with better effects and of course the actors have to look and act similar to the original cast, it could be done with the right cast.
@@michaelbarnes7351 no
I was a freshman at Syracuse when I first saw “Jaws” in the theater. I am not rational when it comes to horror movies and I should have known better. Anyway, I remember I kept reflexively kicking the back of the seat of the lady who sat in front of me every time someone got attacked/eaten by that goddamn fake shark. The lady’s husband threatened to end my life if I kicked her seat just one more time...
So, then you should have kicked his! 😝
Seems like a reasonable reaction. You are lucky to be alive.
I would have asked him if he and his wife wanted side by side beds of private rooms while the doctors wait to see if either of them come out of their matching comas i was going to put them in if he thought was going to kill me. The last time i used this line the woman grabbed her mans arm and dragged him away when she saw i wasn't kidding and she might end up getting hurt as well.
This film deserves to be in a hall of fame of best films ever made. It is the one movie that literally coined the term "blockbuster".
Selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 2001.
@@mdm5216 Thank you for letting me know that.
My parents took me to see Jaws when I was 6, because my dad claimed I liked sharks. My sister said it was actually because the whole family was going; including my sisters who usually babysat me, and my parents didn't want to pay for a babysitter for me. I remember being terrified to state of panic, and refusing to even go on the beach for our next year's vacation. Gotta love 70's parents.
Ha me too. I was 5 when my dad took me to see it.
Same and younger people dont believe me! The 70s was so different
@@photosmithy yes it was!
The 70's was a unique time...the music was also great!
I think my fav fact about jaws was that the editor lady was nick named "The Mother Cutter".
I was 12 when Jaws premiered but it wasn’t until a month or so after it’s open before my mom took me to see it. I was at camp for a few weeks and everyone was talking about this shark movie. I ended up going to that movie 7 times that summer. I was so enthralled by Spielbergs ability to manipulate the audience and his use of framing. Some of the best scenes are the down times between the action: Quint standing in the pulpit staring down Hooper, or Quints silhouette at the top of the mast. Even during the action, Spielberg would find an interesting way to film sequences such as showing the reflection of the barrels going by in Brodys glasses, hard mounting the camera to the Orca allowing it to bob up and down while following the shark fin etc....even at 12 years old I could appreciate the skill of everyone involved with that film. It really has a special place in my heart....Here’s to swimmin’ with bow legged women!!!
This film never gets old. I watch it whenever it comes on. I lived in a beach community when this movie came out and it's true no one was going in the water.
- Come, give me a hug.
- Why?
- Cause I need it.
4:15, that line will never die.
neither will "smile you son of bitch"
My mother said her and my father were down Atlantic City for the Casino's when they saw Jaws.
It was playing outside (yes kids, movies used to actually play outside on giant screens) and the Ocean was practically right behind them as they watched at night...It added a very eerie vibe while they watched and hearing the ocean waves and the midnight black water...
Just watched this for the 3,000th time last weekend at my parents house on my Birthday.
The story of the U.S.S Indianapolis is epic
Also the epic mechanical failure of the shark made this movie 10x better than it would have, no really showing the shark made it all the more intense.
And every issue including casting just made it all the more better in a perfect work of fate!
I guess everything happens for a reason
Good video!!! I remember first seeing this movie in 1975 when I was 12 years old. People in the theatre were literally yelling/screaming/jumping out of their seats!!! People even left the theatre as well before the movie was over because they could not handle the trauma - just like "The Exorcist". Also, since I lived in NE Ohio at the time along the shores of beautiful Lake Erie, the beaches there were also quite EMPTY as well. People in the fresh water Great Lakes would not go into the water either, even though everyone knew that sharks are a salt- water critter. Oh the memories!!!!!
09:07
" and this
D-BAG
slept through the whole thing "
To this day I can't swim in anything I can't see the bottom of clearly. And even in the local pool with goggles, I'm still checking around me constantly.
Still have the 30th anniversary DVD in my collection. First time my mom saw the film didn't sleep well for an entire month. The movie premiered on ABC there years after it was shown in theaters. That's how scary Jaws is! 💖💖💖💖💖
I watched Jaws when it was originally released, I even got nervous about swimming or fishing in a fresh water lakes that summer. 😆
Lol ot only you I went to the beach and had a semi heart attack every time something bumped into me while in the water
Two days after we saw it, my mom announced that were renting a beach house for the summer. I was 11, and spent the first half of the summer sweltering on the beach.
For anyone that's a super fan of this movie this is all already well known, but it's a great rudimentary introduction to a movie classic.
The two note theme is reminiscent of a heart beat. It's pulsating; contraction first, signifying tension, followed by release, or temporal relief. This puts the viewer in a state of anxiety, and as the two notes' tempo increases, so does the heart start to beat faster in anticipation of something dangerous slowly but surely approaching; creeping up on you from where you cannot see it. It furthermore implies that whatever is coming is picking up speed, as it has you in its eyesight and is giving chase now. You're prey. It's almost like a gut feeling: that something bad is about to happen. Coupled with the on-screen visuals, it's very effective, psychologically, as it mirrors the physiological aspect of fear. Also, the two notes almost resemble a question. We tend to go higher up in pitch towards the end of asking a question, which is what occurs with the looping of the notes. It's like the theme is demanding curiosity in that sense. "What's going to happen? What is coming?" And it automatically gives you the reply to the question, if you focus on the lower note. An ominous answer. It builds up suspense. It's not at all exagerated to say that it is quite brilliant in its simplicity.
Only bad thing that came from the film, which is actually in my top 3, is that sharks were hunted mercilessly. Being a marine biology major, it kinda hit hard. Sharks are an important part of our oceans ecology.
Now I lived in Princeton, NJ when Jaws came out and saw it at the Garden Theater with other kids from my street. Back then it was a single screen and we sat in the front row of the balcony. Giving us the best view of the screen. I was 10 years old. We couldn't get enough of that movie. Yes we did go to the shore that summer and yes I went swimming, at Manasquan, were the 1916 attacks took place. When school started back up in September someone had placed an old wooden rowboat right outside the backdoor of our classroom at Community Park Elementary School. On the very first day that old rowboat became the Orca.
This is a disgusting hit piece on a shark just trying to break down barriers and work in an industry not meant for him. #IstandwithBruce ✊🏿

@@JLE8811 Shark lives matter😭🤣
@Stephen Murphy I bet the guy that made this video doesn't even see how bigoted he was being. He probably even has a shark friend 🙄🤣🤣🤣
When I first saw the film, I screamed "what a rotten way to kill a poor, starving shark!"
@@iandezur4043 I think I'm gonna start a hunger strike, but can we postpone it until I try that new Kentucky Fried Chicken donut sandwich 🤣
This was the first movie I fell in love with as a child. It tapped into that primal fear we all share. Great cast and everything
I was a very talented swimmer as a kid. I won many compatitions and they said i could go far but then i watched jaws and my future as a swimmer ended.
8:20, this was on Bravo's 100 scariest movie moments, coming in at number 1!
Theres a funny part in the Jaws: The inside story documentary where Spielberg says that he saw the premiere at I think his hometown and sat with the audience to get their reaction. During the scene where the shark eats the boy off of the rubber raft some guy in the audience got up and left. Spielberg said he felt his heart drop because he thought that the patron walked out because he disliked the movie but soon found out that no the man was so scared that he began to run out and threw up in the lobby
😲
Honestly, I wonder if he wished the cause of the patron leaving was the movie sucking, rather than him needing to throw up.
10:01 that shot STILL gives me chills. Just terrifying.
Me too.
I remember watching this on the A&E network called Behind the scenes: The Story of Jaws. There was a whole lot of problems on the set of this film, including the shark malfunctioning, half of the cast and crew got seasick, the producers threatened to fire Spielberg, and the film went over budget.
It's on the dvd copy i have
I saw it on the dvd on the copy I have
And all the sex with the local females after the days filming.
Ah the 70s were a happy, special time🤔!
Did you watch this video? Because you sound like a broken record.
My mother saw this movie in the cinema, she has never been back in the ocean to this day.
Love this movie, never tire of watching it. "You're gonna need a bigger boat" is my favorite line.
I just watched this with my 13yo yesterday. He loved it! The film still holds up today.

Spielberg gave his attorney such a badass compliment, and then immediately undercut it...but with his lawyer. Brilliant.
I would really love to see a movie made about the making of Jaws on set. Like have actors play Richard Dreyfus Robert Shaw Roy Schneider and Steven Spielberg trying to film the movie and all the problems that happened and the rivalry between Shaw and Dreyfus. A film about making a film would be awesome.
The success of this film was a combination of minimalism (the shark, the score) and the co-stars learning to trust in one another.
They did not trust one another! Not for a single moment.
@@elainelethborg2550 at first. but they learned to. thats what made it great.
No! They did NOT trust each other ever! Even when they were supposedly at ease the air was thick with tension between them. Yes, the actors did a good job of showing this. For the record, any film full of as many goofups and mistakes as this one has falls way short of being great!
I rode my bike to the theater and on the way home I was afraid on the ride back. lol
The main cast were all fantastic for this but that actress (Not sure on the name) who slaps Brody in the face arguably does one the best performances in the entire film - A mix of anger and grief and being drained of energy.
Absolutely agree.
This is the only film then genuinely scared the bejasus out of me....when ever the two note instrumental came on I'd run around the back of the sofa and cover my ears and would just keep asking me ma or brother when "bruce" had pissed off. Also anytime we'd watch it them night's I'd lay in my bunk and talk with my brother Mark and if I needed to go for a wiz I'd be embarrassed but I'd ask mark would he check under the bed and flash his torch like a,path for me to get to the bedroom door...he's used to be baffled as to how scared that movie made me and would keep reassuring me that it's not real its special effects bless him he was never cruel like that he past away 2years ago aged 38 he was my best pal as well as an older brother...miss him dearly RIP Marko 🙏✌
TIL: The shark in Finding Nemo is named after the shark in Jaws.
So's the assassin in the James Bond films "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker."
@@iandezur4043 The "shark" wasn't named "Jaws". It was named "Bruce".
I was today old when I learned this.
@IAN m ~Man, as soon as he said what the mechanical shark was nick-named, I was like, Waaait a minute...
So is it confirmed that in fact the rehab shark Bruce in Finding Nemo is a nod to the mechanical shark Bruce in Jaws? In a moment I'm going to research it and if I find otherwise, I'm gonna come back and call Shennanigans on ya, maybe put a pox and a curse on your descendants, too. Nah I don't know how to do any of that stuff, I don't even say 'Bless You" to a sneezer since I know I don't have the authority to distribute religiously worded superstition.
EDIT: I'm back and it's confirmed directly from Pixar. CHEERS!
@@daveygivens735 Bond villain was named after the Jaws title character's name, Nemo shark after the Jaws title actor's real name. Cinema's confusing that way.
Yes, the theme song that made me never want to go in the water ever again, that and the dangling legs, probably saved my life. Thanks Stephen.
Awesome. Made my day. Thanks guys. I had no idea "Jaws" had such a troubled history. I was genuinely surprised when I saw your notification pop up for this vid. Wow, you really wouldn't have guessed, given how well the movie turned out and how well it was received. Shows it is not always failures that have troubled histories.
I saw Jaws opening night as a teenager. It’s been my favorite film ever since.
You're the Mayor of Shark City!
This movie traumatized me as a kid. I finally overcame my fear of swimming in the ocean at age 53. I went swimming alone after dark in Thailand on a vacation. My first time ever swimming in the ocean. I spent the next 10 days there and you couldn't get me out of the water, I even went snorkeling. It only took me 40 years... thanks Spielberg ;-P
Adjusted for inflation, this film was still relatively cheap to make.
It's about 18 million
NATsoHIGH ! Idk how Jaws 2 costed 30 mil to make, that was a lot for 1977
The circa ten million budget in 1974 is way more than eighteen million in 2020.
Actually 8m$ in 1974 is just short of 45m$ in 2020, not 18m
And if it was 10m than its 55,65m in today's money
One of the best movies ever.
Love Roy scheider
I went on the Jaws ride when I visited Universal Studios in Florida in the 90s.
Just imagine if the mechanical sharks didn’t fail and was shown more, the suspense wouldn’t have been quite as effective. The sharks’ failures made it scarier when you barely saw any part of it until the jump scare for Roy Scheider. And John Williams’ score is brilliant and sets the tone for the film like a glove. The cast was the icing on the cake with three perfectly cast actors who had such genuine chemistry; particularly Robert Shaw’s actual bullying of Richard Dreyfus during filming. However Richard Dreyfus has always spoken highly of his late costar even when Shaw was a drunk jackass most of the time to him
OMG "unlike other higher fiber turds, it turns out Bruce wasn't much of a floater" That line is one of the best lines I have heard on RUclips in weeks!!!
Those two notes are based on the sound of a fog horn. Go listen to a fog horn "note"
I have watched this movie 100 million times. Best thing ever made
100 million times? That's It?!?
I remember having that Jaws beach towel in kindergarten and using it for nap time. The woman in the water is naked. But my teacher never complained. Ahhh the good ol' days
2:46 the way you say Motivated is just hilarious
Glorious movie , saw it opening night in a small college town theater , sat in the front row. I was nine years old. A week later my family went on vacation to Ft. Walton Beach, Fla. . LOL ., I survived , but even for months after that , the deep end of swimming pools worried me when I looked toward them underwater from the shallow end .
One of the mishaps that should have been covered here, is the episode of the shark on top of the shark cage. There were several shots in the movie of real sharks in the water. These shots were filmed by Ron and Valery Taylor, a couple with probably the most diving time with sharks in the world. But on one shoot, a large white shark managed to get on top of the shark cage they both were in, and there it got tangled in the ropes that held the cage. The shark thrashed around to free itself, and this footage made it into the movie, seen here at 15:20. Finally the ropes broke and the shark was free, but the cage sank to the bottom. Ron and Valery did not want to exit the cage, since there were several great white sharks in the water and chum and other bait in the water had the sharks in a frenzy. So they stayed in the cage until their air supply ran out, and they had to get to the surface. Luckily, they were not attacked and lived to tell the tale. This story probably inspired the movie "47 meters down" Knowing about such real life drama behind the scenes just adds to the experience in my book.
It's about time Verna Fields gets recognition for saving this movie which won her an academy award for film editing.
there was nothing to save. You cant assemble sequences if the material is not there.

"Two notes, and you have a villain!" - Jack Black's movie score-writing character on the "Jaws" theme in "The holiday".
I am the only kid in the theater to have watched it with my eyes open. Then my bone headed Mom took me to the city pool the next day. Not a lot of kids went swimming that day.
This is one of those movies (like The Shining, The Breakfast Club, and a few others) that I watch every month.
This movie had a lot on-set problems but the blockbuster horror movie that preceded it had even more and it’s a classic also, The Exorcist.
It may have had _more_ problems, but none could compare with the reality of filming on the world's worst set: the Atlantic Ocean. Believe me, I was there 😉
JAWS is an example of superb storytelling, character development, and build up to the action with the shark. Not unlike King Kong, the audience is so engrossed in the narrative, it accepts whatever Spielberg throws at it. The animatronic shark, with all its limitations, still works better than all the CGI bells and whistles today because the movie does not depend on it for its success. The success of JAWS is in its superb construction and editing. The best and scariest scene is Quint’s Indianapolis monologue on the Orca. You are more scared of the shark when you don’t see it than when you do. That’s true cinema.
The Jaws theme was previously used as the theme of the doomsday machine in Star Trek.
I wish that Spielberg would come full circle, and make a movie based on Quint's experience on the U.S.S. Indianapolis. The story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis is 100% true (minus Quint), and it's estimated that as many as 150 sailors were killed by sharks. It may be too late in Spielberg's career to take on such a massive project, but I could see a director like Chris Nolan, and someone like Aaron Taylor-Johnson playing a younger Quint, making an intense, dread-filled movie, and turning that speech that Robert Shaw wrote himself, into something we could finally see play out on the big screen.
Was rumoured to be going on with RUSSELL CROWE as QUINT ..BUT NEVER HAPPENED
There is a documentary on that, with actual sailors and re-enactments. It's pretty good.
@@Scottocaster6668 Can you recall the title?
@@donovanchilton5817 Missing: The USS Indianapolis.
It's from the history channel.
There's a bunch of stuff on RUclips about it.
One of the best movies ever made!
I'm sometimes surprised there wasn't any real shark attacks since they filmed in the real ocean. I feel like that makes all the scenes even scarier when watching it.
The really big problem with the movie is that it is the reason for the existence of "Jaws 3D" and "Jaws 4".
I do not need to watch this video as I know everything there is to know about this movie. One of my favorites.
Did you know Dreyfus wrote his dialogue for the bill board scene?
@@roquefortfiles no
Well done! I knew some of this before but did not know about the tension between Shaw and Dreyfuss. Very interesting and even more so that it helped make their performances so good. That's one thing that stands out in this movie. It feels very real and believable. Also, the idea of only showing the 'monster' in a limited way and never for very long was pure genius and it seems like that gets forgotten about a lot my filmmakers. Fun to watch this!
Definitely one of my most watched movies.A stonewall classic.
The opening scene took my breath away. It was so powerful because it left everything to your own imagination.
The shark was the biggest con job in cinematic history - 10% visual 90% imagination.
so you have covered my 2 favorite movies of all time with this and the crow! you are incredible and so well put together and thought out! thank you thank you thank you
It was this and The Exorcist that fucked up my childhood 🤣 Jaws made me believe that sharks were evil, and The Exorcist made me believe that the devil is real and he can just take your body. Those were the days..
I got a rubber Jaws shark as a Xmas present. It was a bath toy. Scared the crap out of me.
Simply one of the greatest films ever made. Everything in it is perfect. Never get tired of watching it, even though I lived at the time only 300 km from where the actual shark footage was shot (Neptune Islands and Dangerous Reef, South Australia), and this movie kept me out of the damn sea (200 m from my house) for almost 2 years!!!!
The studio should take the 1980 extended version of the film shown on ABC and add back in the more graphic Kintner scene and the longer, more graphic pond scene, and give fans a chance to be scared again.
My favorite scene in the movie is in the thumbnail mainly because it was re-done so well in Ace Ventura
Ok this movie is a masterpiece but Jaws 2 is a good sequel guys.
With Rocky 2, The color of money, Halloween 2 (1981), 2010 (1984) and French connection 2 is one of the most underrated sequels of all time.
It’s of those sequels that isn't as perfect as the original but is really original, new and with great character development
I didn't think it's bad compared to the other sequels, but it's still flawed. The mayor *STILL* doesn't believe in Chief Brody even after everything that happened in the first film and the teenage characters were all forgettable, but Roy Scheider did his very best with his performance in it.
It's a lot more than I can say than the third and fourth Jaws film (the fourth is easily the absolute worst of them all).
Spielberg and Benchley actually put shark-paranoia on the table with this movie. Though it'S one of my favorite movies I am well aware that this flick sealed all sharks fate without a doubt.
MrPrice2u sad but true. Only recently I realise that the tiger shark the fishermen caught was in fact real and was captured and killed for this movie. It’s always been arguably one of my favourite movies of all time and I watched it only yesterday but that just doesn’t sit right with me.
John Barleycorn why it’s a shark 🦈
That's exactly what I say about CoronaVirus. Its just like a shark.... it just chugs along and whatever gets in its way it robotically chomps. What's all the beef? It's just doing what it was programmed to do. People need to lighten up and not be so discriminatory. Against bears, sharks, and Coronavirus.
Sir Shankalicious Dredwick III fuk dem
The ULTIMATE effect of Jaws was mass interest which has lead to our current knowledge and understanding of sharks. That just wasn't there before Jaws. By the way its the Asian shark finning industry which has REALLY decimated sharks. Nothing to do with Jaws that.
Damn this movie is just legendary. This and alien&aliens are my all time favorite movies of all time
You, sir, have great taste.
I'm a hard-core lover of this film, I saw it in the drive in with my mom when I was around 5yrs old, it was a re-release in the theaters that summer...I fell on love with that movie and sharks...lol...do I know way too much about this film and the making of....that being said, well done sir, you mention a few things I wasn't aware of! Which actually answered a few questions I had for some time. Thanks!!
Shaw...is a freaking amazing in this movie!
One of my all time favourite films.
Priceless
Great info and insight...Thanks! 👍
My dad said he had a few drinks with Robert Shaw in Westhoughton Labour club in the early days before he became famous, the club is gone now sadly replaced by an Aldi. He was a great actor that sadly met an ignominious end, but he didn't do bad for a lancy lad. #respect
Quint is a loud mouthed, superior, self satisfied, tyrant on his boat who constantly belittles Hooper over his "rich kid" background and smashes the radio while Brody is calling for help( when they needed it).
Mayor Vaughn is a slimy jackass who cancels Brody's closing of the beaches, getting more people killed, and lets Brody take the heat over his actions.
But the only human character in the movie that you have harsh words for is the college kid at the beginning who you call a " d-bag" because.................he dared to fall asleep while drunk and missed out on still not being able to rescue the girl who was killed by the giant great white shark.
Easy Dave,
I think the narrator was hinting at a crush he had on the girl back in the day...
