AWESOME! He actually meet Roy and Robert? Why they deleted this Scene? By the way When I was a little boy I also wacthed this movie with my dad. Jaws can make fathers and sons more united!
1:12 Quint looks directly at the camera & breaks 4th wall. French Narrator- Meanwhile, in an ice rink... Deadpool- Oohhh! I feel a disturbance. Oh well, TELL ME WHERE YOUR F*CKING BOSS IS OR YOU'RE GONNA DIE... IN LIKE, 5 MINUTES!!!
He was with the kid and smiled in support as he did it right. But once the kid fucked up it was like. "HOOPER YOU IDIOT STARBOARD, AIN'T YA WATCHING IT!!!"
Imagine getting a part in a movie that would turn out to be a huge hit, getting excited all your friends will see you in it, then going to see it, and it's not there.
Out of all the deleted scenes I think this one should have been present in the film. It shows a funny side to quint but also a friendly side to quint especially at 0:53 when he thought the kid couldn’t get the note right and when he did he had a genuine smile as if to say “Good job kid”.
@@chrissargent4472 LOL... no doubt. He was an a$$hole through and through... The commenter is clueless. The kid's playing annoyed the hell out of Quint and he was going to make him stop, and did.
@@kyledavis635Once the two starting getting loud I thought they were both being pretty annoying if you ask me. Though I wouldn't say Quint was being all that mean too the kid. He just needs to learn how to act a little. Nicer, that's all. But that's just my opinion. 😊
I like the scene and exchange between Quint and the young lady in the music store. Quint for the most part of the film comes off as a hard ass who is a bit of a "dirty talker" about the ladies in some parts. But here he interacts with a young obviously attractive young lady and shows some nice manners towards her (as she does back) and it shows he is not all rough and hard. I like it. And it is nice to see that someone can be friendly with him as well, seeing how he was kind of the outsider of the island that no one really seemed to want to know.
Hippiegoddess142 You are missing the point. I am saying as I said how he talks about women in terms of being sleazy thinking about then, here he interacts with an attractive woman, the type he probably sexually thinks about and his character is not shy about talking things like that to strangers and he is not fondling over her or trying to say same nasty shit, he is being polite and respectful be it charming. Sounds like you are just looking to be upset about something.
Robert Shaw's quintessential role/performance by far and one he will always be best remembered for! This film would not have been the same without him! He made it work! RIP fellow Lancastrian.
For me his quintessential is his role/performance of Henry III in a Man For all Seasons followed very closely by his role as a German Tank Commander in Battle of the Bulge
i remember when the special addition of this came out on VHS with two tapes back in july of 2000. i was 16 and my dad was in the hospital, only a week or so away from dying. i watched it countless times that july because my dad is the one who introduced me to it when i was 5. it made me feel better because it's one of my favourite movies, but when i watched this deleted scene for the first time i actually laughed. it kind of made me forget about the BS for a few mins. great scene.
When Quint tells Hooper " gaming fish , marlin , sting ray bit thru this piano wire don't ever tell me my business again " is the reason this scene should of been left in the movie
Kinda wish this was in the movie, any scene Quints in is always enjoyable. This kinda sums up his character, he likes to tease, and get a rise out of people. That and the fact that he's always randomly singing, so I could see him doing something like this.
he's like the Phantom of the Opera, JAWS style! Wait....the Phantom of the ORCA!!!! (his boat sorta resembles the phantom's..a canoe...coincidence?) lol
Why this was not included in the final version is beyond me. Classic scene. Quint is the greatest film character of all-time and Robert Shaw should have won the Oscar for his performance.
yes, this scene gives a lot to the character of Quint. he really tries to help the child, but he just doesn't know what to do. He is the number one hero sharkhunter, but when it comes to human relations, he is as anti-social as can get. UPDATE 2024 I just finished reading 'The Book Of Quint' (2022). Pretty good stuff. Buy it and read it - unless you don't wish to learn his full name. 😁
Steven Spielberg wanted to show more of Quint's life in and around Amity but felt the character worked better by not showing too much of him - like the shark.
I’ve seen several cut scenes from “Jaws”, and each one is great. This one is my favorite- builds Quint’s character. He’s a salty, working class guy, but you see him appreciating “Ode to Joy”, in his own way (before the kid starts messing with him, and he messes back). That said, I do get why it may have been cut- 1) the length and flow of the film, and 2) Shaw’s performance is so good his character doesn’t really need too much exposition.
I wish they'd kept this scene, it's funny and a nice setup for the piano wire dialogue on the Orca. Of course, I can't get enough Shaw's Quint, so maybe I wouldn't be objective enough to make that decision.
Brother Malachai Hmm. That's interesting. I don't think he was unsympathetic at all. Mayor Vaughn is unsympathetic to me, but not Quint. In fact, I love Quint. He has all my sympathy.
Each scene in a movie should either progress the character or progress the plot forward, this is scene is rather pointless, but so damn funny nonetheless. At least Speilberg kept it in the can all these years.
@@ANTONIOZILLA the scenes where the actual main characters are involved and interacting with Quint do more than a good enough job to display he's not the most pleasant guy to be around
Yo I don’t think it’s pointless at all. It shows that Quint could go in a matter of seconds from being a badass to the village idiot. If this had been kept in the movie it may have had as big an impact as the Indianapolis speech
@@rampageclover9788 It wouldn't have had any impact on the speech, whatsoever. Quint is far from the village idiot in the context of both the book and the movie, more like the drunkard at best.
Love how Quint totally intimidates the boy, then looks at him strangely when he stops playing. R.I.P. Robert Shaw. Many a great performances, but this was your masterpiece
I agree that they should put it back in but for a different reason. To me they should put it back in because when I was still a Charter boat mate in Hatteras NC, we still used piano wire as leader material. I love it when a movie gets a small detail like this correct. Twisting wire is somewhat of a lost art that not many people know how to do because not many places still use piano wire leaders for sport fishing. We used it and we didn't do any shark fishing either. We fished for wahoo and king mackerel and other toothy critters like that.
Robert Shaw like all actors of his era bought with them to the screen the times that they lived through, wars and a tough upbringing etc, and this showed in their performances, highly individual, as time passes they stand out more and more!! thankfully we can still see them on the screen, some remakes are very good but but you cant beat the original---simples, bless em all----------
This scene has a special place in my heart because i can just superimpose my grandfather into Quints place, and remember that even though he was a crotchety bastard, he was my grandfather, and i miss him. LOve you Popps.
I know the feeling. I had an uncle whose voice & mannerisms closely matched Quints so much it was scary at times. He's been gone 31 years & I can still hear him plain as day. Miss ya uncle.
This scene should have stayed in the film. Not only does it reveal Quint's source of piano wire, but it also shows how damaged and out of touch the character truly is. Not even Captain Ahab who bully and belittle a child playing clarinet, and the fact the song Quint hums (mockingly) along to is Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" is a good juxtaposition.
Steven Spielberg's idea. He wanted to show more of Quint's life in and around Amity but felt the character worked better by not showing too much of him - like the shark.
that's not bullying you describe that's more like aggressive teaching. however the way he hums along is like he looks aside and thinks for a second about anti shark cage and figures out the human goes in the cage then asks if that is correct. the humming is he learns the tune quick then starts joining in and criticizing in effect. either he didn't know the tune before, or wanted to be sure he had the tune right the kid was playing before he got loud.
The piano wire he buys for the shark hunt has been taken out of the script, which left this scene off plot. But here, consistency wasn't worth it. Indeed they should have let it in!
It depends where it was deleted from in the movie. If this is all before his introduction when he runs his fingers along the chalk board, then oh yeah, it was right to go. You can't mess with that as a way to introduce a character.
As much as I think Jaws is PERFECTION - I wouldn't change a thing, even the shark FX & it's my favourite Spielberg movie, I still would have LOVED this scene with the boy to make it into the final cut! just absolute Quint Brilliance!!!!
If you think about it, adding this scene would have made sense cause if you remember, Roy Schieder had his own scene with his son. Adding this scene would be an exact parallel of that, but made to show that Quint is an absolute mess when it comes to children.
maybe the reason it was taken out waa for that very reason i get what your saying but maybe stephen thought that by leaving it in when theres already a line like you say with brody and his son. this scene may have been to much if im correct i can understand why
Ayden Salazar also when Quint talks about the piano wire being cut by the sharks teeth when it snaps then Brody and Hooper fall over. I was confused when there was no explanation for why he used piano wire.
Ayden Salazar but it also takes away from Quint's character. He's perceived as a man who doesn't have respect for women in the rest of the movie, but he was very kind and respectful to the woman in this scene.
I was a charter boat mate in Hatteras NC for a few years and they still use #12 piano wire for blue marlin fishing. "Twisting" wire is a lost skill that very few mates can still do. I'm proud to say that I can. Australians use piano wire for giant black marlin as well. #12 breaks at 308 lbs.
So, I saw Jaws, something like. 2001? 2002? And I absolutely loved it. It was taped on a channel that was on satellite, I couldn't tell you which one exactly. But this scene was in the movie when I watched it, how wild is that, like, I always just assumed it was part of the movie, because I didn't know it was a deleted scene.
Quint may be a salty old sea dog but it perfectly captures the old Depression/WW2 Greatest Generation. They were hard as nails with no time for nonsense but had manners and were all quiet pillars of each community they were in. He's polite and tips his hat to Kate and is well mannered in her shop without his usual course sailor talk.
So FYI to any non fisherman Piano Wire #12 has a 300lb test strength rating which Quint used in the movie for Leader which attaches near the hook. This was most likely due to Tackle Shops not having anything strong enough in the 70’s for sharks. This shows how Quint was able to land more larger sharks than anyone that we know if the movie. Another reason why I love this move as a fisherman.
We still use piano wire as leader material in Hatteras NC to this day. Several tackle shops down there sell it. We actually don't do any shark fishing either. We use piano wire because Hatteras waters have a lot of wahoo and king mackerel and have extremely sharp teeth.
I don’t really re watch the other films, as you’d know why, but I think his death was symbolic. He became reckless and delusional instead of calm and collective he was before, burning out the boats engine and firing at the fish just dumbly, my guess is ptsd hit. He had seen what sharks done to men and what their capabilities are. And one that big he wasn’t gonna let just swim away, in the book you can see this even more. He cut the payment he was receiving for its bounty, he was getting payed three or four hundred a day and he refused payment after hoopers death not because of hooper but, because this is the first time he had ever seen a smart fish. He had called it dumb and stupid even in the film and when he saw how powerful he realised this fish wasn’t at the cost of currency but the hardest he could’ve tried for a shark in all his life. He went crazy in the end and he knew he’d die, it was foreshadowed in every scene he was sat down and just speaking. It’s almost Shakespeare symbolism, his own ambition got the best of him as he under estimated the fish, that’s what the entirety of jaws and its book are really about, because of course they could’ve sent the coast guard from south Hampton to just blow it away but they just under estimated it, or its smarts, or just it’s randomness. It pulled four/five barrels under and sunk the orca and killed the old sea dog, now practically everything of quints was lost but his trophy room. Ambition and misjudgment of the fish led to multiple deaths, and quints ambition led to his own in his own crazed state, you can see the fear in his eyes as he realises its coming, when hooper disappears from the cage, when it breaches, heck even when it pulled under quarter dozen kegs, he had realised he miscalculated the white just like everyone else when he was just in-front of it, and the compressed air tank crushes his fingers and he’s sent to its rounded continuously grasping maw.
This scene ALWAYS reminds me of my Grandpa, even when I saw it when I was a kid in the 80's, lol. He would tease you like this and then make you laugh right after
i just photoshopped a picture of quint and the boy in this scene and put a phantom of the opera half mask on Quint's face and put the caption ''I'm really gonna screw up this opera show for good! and blame YOU!"
Always loved this deleted scene. I think it used to pop up in the TV version when they needed to pad out the length. The kid even looks like a young Steven Spielberg, who also played the clarinet when he was young.
billnmish Have I ever seen Jaws............ Gee why else would I be looking up Jaws videos on RUclips, but yes I have and there are not enough to consider it a comedy. Even James Bond movies have their funny scenes and phrases but nobody considers them a comedy.
Shark24 I said "comedic moments" - a film having them does not make it a comedy, nor did I say Jaws was one. Your statement leads us to believe that you think this single scene would have been the straw that broke the comedic camels back in terms of classifying it as a comedy. The scene could've been left in and it would've been chalked up as another one of the aforementioned moments, and/or a means to further bolster how much of a relentless asshole Quint really was. For whatever reason (run time, flow, etc etc) it was cut. Simple as that.
I for some reason love this scene and its one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie. and I wish that they kept all of the scenes in for the final film.
yeap me too i remember watching it LATE on tv during the 80s with my brother. It was a more violent version too showing Quint cough up blood as the shark bit into him
Steven Spielberg's idea. He wanted to show more of Quint's life in and around Amity but felt the character worked better by not showing too much of him - like the shark.
next time someone does something obnoxious to me in public on purpose I am totally doing what Quint did! His character is a stroke of brilliance. I don't know if a lot of people realize this, this is my take on Quint. He had PTSD. His character had been through a lot. I really enjoyed Quint's pleasingly sarcastic nature during the film. I wish they would have left this in. That kid was a pretty good actor too! :)
Everyone says he's bullying. He's not. He was accompanying the kid, until the kid played off key, and painfully so, and Q got mad at him for ruining Beethoven. I think the point of the scene was to show that the rough uneducated shark fishermen could keep Beethoven on key and the kid studying music couldn't.
humbleradio really interesting take and I mostly agree. I see a little bit of “picking on” though not entirely mean-spirited. Quint’s superiority complex didn’t stop even at showing up “learned” children 🤣 That kid and Hooper we one in the same to Quint - at least until Quint started growing fond of Hooper
That scene so should have been kept in the movie. It's hilarious. Sometimes when the movie was shown on TV here in Australia back in the day that scene was included.
Creepy quint at it again.. Quint be like "Follow my lead boy.... Farewell and adieu to you fair spanish ladies... C'mon Boy!!!..Farewell and adieu you ladies of spain..."
The very first time this was shown on TV, this scene was included within the movie. The only thing different about this "Deleted Scene" is, they showed the little boy run out of the store after Quint embarrassed him by singing along with him. I never could figure out why they chopped him running out of the store off the scene after it was included as a "Deletes Scene".
My dad is the boy playing the clarinet!! I'm so glad someone finally posted this on youtube and I now have proof my DAD WAS IN JAWS!! So cool :)
AWESOME!
He actually meet Roy and Robert?
Why they deleted this Scene?
By the way When I was a little boy I also wacthed this movie with my dad.

This one scene is worth more than most entire modern day movies.

There are some good modern movies, very rare but theu come up now and then

NO scene that had quint in it should have been deleted

When the kid stops Quint is like "WTF is your problem?" lol
lol...
"What do fish do? Eat that stuff?"
"No, they choke on it."
I love Quint. Just an old salt sea dog from New England. Really adds substance to the film.
I'm from Boston and I know lots of people like quint
And he was on the Indianapolis don’t forget that it was a real event look it up if you don’t know
Too bad they killed him off instead of Hooper. They could have had some real sequels with him.
I can't watch Jaws simply because of Quint's death.
Here’s for swimmin with Bo-legged women”!
I like the scene and exchange between Quint and the young lady in the music store. Quint for the most part of the film comes off as a hard ass who is a bit of a "dirty talker" about the ladies in some parts. But here he interacts with a young obviously attractive young lady and shows some nice manners towards her (as she does back) and it shows he is not all rough and hard. I like it. And it is nice to see that someone can be friendly with him as well, seeing how he was kind of the outsider of the island that no one really seemed to want to know.
He is nevertheless unconsciously obnoxious and domineering.

it was deleted for good... no, GREAT reason. it would ruin the perfect flow of JAWS. had NO place in it.
It depends where it was deleted from in the movie. If this is all before his introduction when he runs his fingers along the chalk board, then oh yeah, it was right to go. You can't mess with that as a way to introduce a character.
Robert Shaw, what an actor, what a force of nature!!! RIP
He was EPIC
As much as I think Jaws is PERFECTION - I wouldn't change a thing, even the shark FX & it's my favourite Spielberg movie, I still would have LOVED this scene with the boy to make it into the final cut! just absolute Quint Brilliance!!!!
That look on quints face when the kid stops playing LOL!
If you think about it, adding this scene would have made sense cause if you remember, Roy Schieder had his own scene with his son. Adding this scene would be an exact parallel of that, but made to show that Quint is an absolute mess when it comes to children.
maybe the reason it was taken out waa for that very reason i get what your saying but maybe stephen thought that by leaving it in when theres already a line like you say with brody and his son. this scene may have been to much if im correct i can understand why
Ayden Salazar also when Quint talks about the piano wire being cut by the sharks teeth when it snaps then Brody and Hooper fall over. I was confused when there was no explanation for why he used piano wire.
Ayden Salazar but it also takes away from Quint's character. He's perceived as a man who doesn't have respect for women in the rest of the movie, but he was very kind and respectful to the woman in this scene.
Dean Garber True
he is no family man. that is for sure, as says the novel.
This is classic ! Had me in stitches ! Robert Shaw I salute you .
And my dad played the clarinet. Pretty impressive, huh? You'd have no idea that's actually a human disguised as a musical instrument.
This guy was great actor, r.i.p
I was a charter boat mate in Hatteras NC for a few years and they still use #12 piano wire for blue marlin fishing. "Twisting" wire is a lost skill that very few mates can still do. I'm proud to say that I can. Australians use piano wire for giant black marlin as well. #12 breaks at 308 lbs.
Thank you from a fellow fisherman!! Preach!!
So, I saw Jaws, something like. 2001? 2002? And I absolutely loved it. It was taped on a channel that was on satellite, I couldn't tell you which one exactly. But this scene was in the movie when I watched it, how wild is that, like, I always just assumed it was part of the movie, because I didn't know it was a deleted scene.
Robert Shaw- awesome.
How could they leave this out? Pure gold 🤣🤣
0:58 He went full Squidward.
Never go full Squidward
Yeah hi we're from the pet hospital down the street and I hear you have a dying animal on the premises.
All those wrong notes you played made it sound more original.
@@misshelenahandbag 🤣😂🤣
This scene made Quint more human in a psychotic sort of way.
Robert Shaw, greatly missed.
Quint may be a salty old sea dog but it perfectly captures the old Depression/WW2 Greatest Generation. They were hard as nails with no time for nonsense but had manners and were all quiet pillars of each community they were in. He's polite and tips his hat to Kate and is well mannered in her shop without his usual course sailor talk.
Polite and well mannered? He blatantly derided the boy until his playing fell apart and then he stopped - which was Quint's intent. It was cruel...
So FYI to any non fisherman Piano Wire #12 has a 300lb test strength rating which Quint used in the movie for Leader which attaches near the hook. This was most likely due to Tackle Shops not having anything strong enough in the 70’s for sharks. This shows how Quint was able to land more larger sharks than anyone that we know if the movie. Another reason why I love this move as a fisherman.
We still use piano wire as leader material in Hatteras NC to this day. Several tackle shops down there sell it. We actually don't do any shark fishing
either. We use piano wire because Hatteras waters have a lot of wahoo and king mackerel and have extremely sharp teeth.
I have never seen this and now my mind is blown. Capt. Quint is my spirit animal.
Did he apply for the job? 😎
Possibly the best casting in history xD
I love Quint. He's my favorite in the entire series. I wish that he didn't die.
I don’t really re watch the other films, as you’d know why, but I think his death was symbolic. He became reckless and delusional instead of calm and collective he was before, burning out the boats engine and firing at the fish just dumbly, my guess is ptsd hit. He had seen what sharks done to men and what their capabilities are. And one that big he wasn’t gonna let just swim away, in the book you can see this even more. He cut the payment he was receiving for its bounty, he was getting payed three or four hundred a day and he refused payment after hoopers death not because of hooper but, because this is the first time he had ever seen a smart fish. He had called it dumb and stupid even in the film and when he saw how powerful he realised this fish wasn’t at the cost of currency but the hardest he could’ve tried for a shark in all his life. He went crazy in the end and he knew he’d die, it was foreshadowed in every scene he was sat down and just speaking. It’s almost Shakespeare symbolism, his own ambition got the best of him as he under estimated the fish, that’s what the entirety of jaws and its book are really about, because of course they could’ve sent the coast guard from south Hampton to just blow it away but they just under estimated it, or its smarts, or just it’s randomness. It pulled four/five barrels under and sunk the orca and killed the old sea dog, now practically everything of quints was lost but his trophy room. Ambition and misjudgment of the fish led to multiple deaths, and quints ambition led to his own in his own crazed state, you can see the fear in his eyes as he realises its coming, when hooper disappears from the cage, when it breaches, heck even when it pulled under quarter dozen kegs, he had realised he miscalculated the white just like everyone else when he was just in-front of it, and the compressed air tank crushes his fingers and he’s sent to its rounded continuously grasping maw.
@@Anthony-vc2fd Your essay was not double spaced like the requirements required. I’m sorry but this does not deserve an A.
@@superego8405 I'd be happy with paragraphs.
damn, I love the way she's got the clarinet in her mouth and pulls it out
It’s a male lol
"She"?
@@MrPrincetrumpet he’s talking about the young lady at the counter
This scene ALWAYS reminds me of my Grandpa, even when I saw it when I was a kid in the 80's, lol. He would tease you like this and then make you laugh right after
this is so quint
they should have left it in
I wish they would have kept this scene in the original movie. The squinty look given to the kid by Robert Shaw at the end was priceless.
I love how Quint looks genuinely surprised that the kid stops playing at the end
That's Quint, he knows stuff, and he's not shy about sharing it.
I can watch this 100 times and laugh every time. Classic Quint!!
One of the greatest Characters of all time. SHAW also rules in the Sting as Doyle Lanigan
I love how Quint keeps going for a second even after the kid stops playing
i just photoshopped a picture of quint and the boy in this scene and put a phantom of the opera half mask on Quint's face and put the caption ''I'm really gonna screw up this opera show for good! and blame YOU!"
I wish there were hundreds more of these clips and that they would just release them every so often! More Quint=more cowbell!
Always loved this deleted scene. I think it used to pop up in the TV version when they needed to pad out the length.
The kid even looks like a young Steven Spielberg, who also played the clarinet when he was young.
Probably deleted because they didn't want the movie to be a comedy.
Shark24 have you even seen the movie? There are PLENTY of comedic moments.
billnmish Have I ever seen Jaws............ Gee why else would I be looking up Jaws videos on RUclips, but yes I have and there are not enough to consider it a comedy. Even James Bond movies have their funny scenes and phrases but nobody considers them a comedy.
Shark24 I said "comedic moments" - a film having them does not make it a comedy, nor did I say Jaws was one. Your statement leads us to believe that you think this single scene would have been the straw that broke the comedic camels back in terms of classifying it as a comedy.
The scene could've been left in and it would've been chalked up as another one of the aforementioned moments, and/or a means to further bolster how much of a relentless asshole Quint really was.
For whatever reason (run time, flow, etc etc) it was cut. Simple as that.
The irony is that Robert shaw was in a James Bond moive
Peridot the Great Modeler !
I for some reason love this scene and its one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie. and I wish that they kept all of the scenes in for the final film.
And you know he's just loving tormenting this kid. One of the best characters of all time.
I watched this scene on a few TV versions...
A clarinet has lifeless eyes.
Like a dolls eyes 👀
This says "Deleted Scene", but I clearly remember having a copy of Jaws on VHS, taped off TV, with this scene included ...
yeap me too i remember watching it LATE on tv during the 80s with my brother. It was a more violent version too showing Quint cough up blood as the shark bit into him
probably Robert Shaw's idea
No BS about that!
Mando Pando Yeah..R.I.P Robert 😭😭😭
Steven Spielberg's idea. He wanted to show more of Quint's life in and around Amity but felt the character worked better by not showing too much of him - like the shark.
Love this scene. Sets the foundation for Quint’s character and explains where he got the piano wire
next time someone does something obnoxious to me in public on purpose I am totally doing what Quint did! His character is a stroke of brilliance. I don't know if a lot of people realize this, this is my take on Quint. He had PTSD. His character had been through a lot. I really enjoyed Quint's pleasingly sarcastic nature during the film. I wish they would have left this in. That kid was a pretty good actor too! :)
Omg. Iconic movie moment.
Quint, is everything.
i love how at the end Quint looks at the boy liek WTF is wrong with ya son..0
That young kid had his only scene in Jaws deleted.
The look on quints face when he stop playing I died inside
ode to joy
Me and my brother both burst out laughing when we saw this scene. They should have left this in the movie.
Captain Quinn is a certified legend LOL.
Everyone says he's bullying. He's not. He was accompanying the kid, until the kid played off key, and painfully so, and Q got mad at him for ruining Beethoven. I think the point of the scene was to show that the rough uneducated shark fishermen could keep Beethoven on key and the kid studying music couldn't.
I agree with you
humbleradio really interesting take and I mostly agree. I see a little bit of “picking on” though not entirely mean-spirited. Quint’s superiority complex didn’t stop even at showing up “learned” children 🤣 That kid and Hooper we one in the same to Quint - at least until Quint started growing fond of Hooper
Quint was a lil like the shark, as soon as the kid faltered and his playing turned to squeaks, Quint came in for the kill.
This scene is pure gold.
Quint's face at the end is priceless! hahaha
The actress also plays Charlei Brewsters Mom in Fright Night 1985
Ah Quint, you ol' seadog...
yeah one sexy ol seadog! too bad he dead now
yeah, you make me sweat salt
that's what I said when he ''pahked his boat in mah hahbah" if you know what i mean
I swear Robert Shaw shits gold. Everything he does is a master piece, even trolling teenagers in a corner market 😂
Best scene rest in peace quint your a legend.
Who on earth would delete this scene. I thought movie people are smart. Thanks for posting. I now proved to my daughter that it exists
Quint at the end of this must've been all "What the hell's wrong with the clarinet?"
That scene so should have been kept in the movie. It's hilarious. Sometimes when the movie was shown on TV here in Australia back in the day that scene was included.
Creepy quint at it again.. Quint be like "Follow my lead boy.... Farewell and adieu to you fair spanish ladies... C'mon Boy!!!..Farewell and adieu you ladies of spain..."
This scene should has stayed in the movie. The honor to be in a scene with robertt shaw is a blessing , plus this scene was fire 🔥
"Your hands are soft from playin' clarinet..."
The very first time this was shown on TV, this scene was included within the movie. The only thing different about this "Deleted Scene" is, they showed the little boy run out of the store after Quint embarrassed him by singing along with him. I never could figure out why they chopped him running out of the store off the scene after it was included as a "Deletes Scene".
The Original American Idol: Quint 😂
The boy playing the clarinet is my teacher in my HVAC class 😭
That kid has city hands.
Playing music all his life
If they ever get round to doing a special directors cut, this should be put in it. Quint deserves more screen time.
