What's scary about Bruce is that he looks less like a pissed off and abnormally large great white but more like a subadult Megaldon or Otodus. Just a huge hunting machine from a bygone time.
Joe Alves hit gold when he thought that sharks get grittier when they get bigger, which was exactly the sort of feel Bruce gave to us. It's actually better that it doesn't look too real, sharks are not that scary looking animals in the wild afterall, so it just adds to the movie magic that Bruce looked more like a some kind of unnatural monster.
@@Packguardian_gacha8684 who cares bro , thats what those dickweeds got paid generously for. Some people gotta suck d*** for money these days , put that into perspective
The mechanical shark looks scarier than a real shark, I'd rather swim with a real great white than that thing. I'd feel unsettled the entire time I was underwater with it.
@@thekingsean92 thats the thing, real sharks often don't really give a shit about humans. we're not really what they want to eat. they've "attacked" us in the past because they're curious and trying to see what we are.
They filmed the Hooper attack scene in a tank so Bruce could move the best in fresh water. It was filmed in L.A after they got back fom Marthas Vinyard
@@horrorhands879 you are welcome if you watch the the Jaws documentary on the 30th anniversary the show the footage of Steven directing it from outside the tank..
This is arguably the best and most iconic mechanical creature ever used in film. None of the subsequent sharks looked as good. The sequel sharks just had something that made them look even more fake. The mouth in Jaws 2 was awful. That huge underbite. But, the original Bruce truly is a work of art..
The shark looks amazing here. The mouth and teeth look great. The head and jaw movement looks fluid and good. Bruce is an iconic movie prop. None of the other sharks looked as good. Bruce had a particular look the other sharks never quite had. Unique. I am as much a fan of the shark as I am the film
I completely agree w all you said. Bruce is iconic. The rest of the sharks looked like clowns to me. Bruce looks intimidating. The Jaws 2 shark is AWFUL. if I was the director I would have sent it back. Nope!! Do it again. The face and mouth look terrible.
@@roquefortfiles The surprising part is that the same team worked on both sharks. Bob Mattey and Alves helmed both Bruces. They even used the same body molds and frames. But, someone came up with a new mechanical head design that eliminated the distinctive jowl and consequently changed the entire shape of the head. The head itself was also resculpted, as well. I think the upper head looks fine. But, man...that mouth mechanism and underbite make the head pancake when closed, which head-on makes the shark look like an old lady without her dentures in. Just awful.
@@e.l.norton An old lady without her dentures!! ROFL!! Perfect. I work in the industry and I am a HUGE fan of what they did with Bruce. Just the entire effort. Personally I like Bruce's trademark "Jowls" If you go and look at a white shark they actually have this at the corners of their mouth. (They do!) When they took this away for Jaws 2 the mouth wound up looking "Awkward" . Then with the Jaws 2 shark they sculpted the bottom jaw a foot longer than the top jaw. It looks like Bevis. Not to mention the gum area and teeth had absolutely no detail what so ever. If you go and look at the shark in behind the scenes shots it looks AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!. The teeth are horrible. The paint job is horrible. The sculpting of the head is horrible. From the gills back it looks fine. But its head is FUCKING AWFUL!!!!. Bruce looks clean, accurate, menacing. The Jaws 2 shark looks like a clown. Ive hated it from the day i saw it.
@@e.l.norton From what I've read. I think they spent all of their time thinking the audience cared if the shark could actually perform a 180 degree turn. They put all of their efforts into improving the shark platform. Bob Mattey was quite happy that his shark could now perform a "Turn". I am just astounded that they thought the shark looked "Good". I can distinctly remember going to my corner store in 77 to see a new magazine on the film and a few candid shots of the shark. When I firs saw "Bruce" i said..."Oh wow!! the shark looks cool. (Time magazine 75) When i saw the Jaws 2 shark i said..."This looks terrible". I thought the shark looked like a joke.
As much a people love to talk about how “Fake” Bruce looks, remember what an incredible achievement that shark was for 1975. The fact that it didn’t work 100% was a blessing in disguise. JAWS is my all time favorite movie. It can be the middle of a Pennsylvania winter and if I watch JAWS I can smell the ocean, smell the Hawaiian Tropic Lotion, feel the sea breeze on my face. Spielberg didn’t just make movies, he created a world that you were transported into. Still a fantastic movie. It’s aged well, I think 🤔. Don’t remake or reboot it. Leave perfection alone. Movies back then were fun & a Communal experience. I remember every scream & jump in that audience 45 years later. I remember the audience bursting into cheers & applause when Bruce was blown up. I remember in 78 when JAWS 2 came out the excitement. I also remember how much fun the First two Superman movies were in the theaters. People cheering and clapping when he saved Lois from falling and when he ripped open his shirt and showed the S under it. Movies were Magical back then.
fun fact: the stuntman in the cage when Bruce rams into it was Dick Warlock, who would go on to play Michael Myers in 1981's HALLOWEEN 2. who's scared of who?
Jaws looks even more amazing now than it did in 1975 because they just don't make films like this anymore. Now we only get computer generated Sharks. CGI sharks is easy to pull off that's why Jaws is such Classic.
Imagine what animatronic we could achieve today. Bruce is downright frightening even attached to the gurney rig. That tail movement sent shivers. There is an inherent fear of this animal as it is a living creature alive today , not a made up monster. The other sharks at Martas Vinyard while filming this must have been scared out by Bruce and all the racket he made . We now know that are to be a hot spot for White Sharks with a possible breeding ground nearby in Montauk.
also the jaws music and the shark are perfect in the 1st one because you can see the shark in your mind clearly when the original is played, however not much visualising of the shark in sequels 3-4 when the jaws theme is played because the last two have variations that aren't as dramatic as the 1st however the opening to #jawstherevenge is creepy as hell.
For 1974 the movement looks really good. Very smooth and fluid. I was impressed. They could never get the tail to work they way they wanted it just wasn't strong enough but the head and jaw movement looked really good.
tranquilmischief This video was taken before it ever went in the ocean. It’s worked perfectly in pools and tanks and they had no reason to fear it not working at the time this video was taken.
I heard that Bruce would sometimes sink, much to the dismay of Dreyfuss, Shaw, Scheider & Spielberg. Lovingly or no, the cast was rumored to of called Bruce the "big, white turd." Sure most of you have heard this before as well. Kind of funny!
This version of shark was used in MGM Studios, in an artificial environment for the filming of the underwater hooper cage, precisely because of the fact that the original Bruce, in Martas wineyards had not worked for months now, very rare footage.
This was NOT the shark that was used on location in Martha's Vineyard. This version of the shark was rebuilt from scratch specifically for just the underwater cage material. And they're shooting in fresh water here. No corrosion salt water issues fowling the electronics.
After Shooting, a lot of Staff Members said being close to that Shark was utterly terrifying. Divers reported sometimes the Shark would have short malfunctions and that caused it to absolutly go Nuts. Move it's Head real fast and keep opening the Jaw.
You know it's an animatronic, but in a surreal way it's kind of scary actually. I know myself for one if I was an actor I'd have to remind myself that this damn thing is a machine. Jaws my favorite movie of all time, scary looking animatronic.
One of, if not the greatest movies of all time. If you lived back in the days of it's grip on America, then you know. Scared everybody. I was 10 and went home and immediately asked my dad to put a chain link fence around our toilet :)
This is still way better , the roll off the mill CGI sharks in many movies don't look real. I didn't even like "Shark Night" except the girl in the blue bikini. All the hard work, determination, perseverance made this movie the best! The way the pneumatics in the sharks jaw move look cool and real.
They had mechanics to drop the top jaw. It stopped working. But the gum line could come down. You can see it in the mast attack. They should have just pulled the gums down and left them like that. The shark looks good. But it looks 10x better with the top gums descended.
Now, that is one big immensely terrifying shark, just to be fake. Honestly, the fact that sharks irl almost never bother us humans, some of those truly real ones just don’t even look remotely scary, I’ve seen what these creatures look like irl, and I can just only imagine the intensity for someone to just be barricaded in these murky shadowy deep body of waters, just to end up encountering such a thing, like this animatronic depiction of Bruce, it doesn’t even need to slowly, or fast enough to approach us just to be scary enough. It already has a beyond unsettling feeling of pure terror right then and there, just with its appearance no matter the acquaintances, just the sheer look on its face, is simply nothing short of emotionless sentiment, alongside its staring glare. As I say, the robotic shark looks so much more monstrous, than some of these real ones could ever be. So, to make matters worse, even when having the right gear on underwater, it is best to stay the hell away from this thing as much as possible, it’s like a satanic formation work of art that thing is, day or night that thing is pure terror to the maximum no matter what. And, just hearing that eerily haunting silent music in the background, with just about a blurred vision of the underwater test tank involving the shark. So, creepy and scary all at once.
I never thought the shark looked “fake” per say. It looked like a great white but...not (in all the best ways), allow me to explain. There’s something about realistic replicas that just doesn’t sit well with the human mind. For example, when a person sees robots that are meant to look like a real human, the person is likely to be extremely creeped out. This is because our brains are able to recognize there is something not quite right about what we’re looking at. It could be the empty eyes, the emotionless expressions, or all the above. This unknown factor causes our brain to try and identify what exactly it is which in turn requires us to look at what’s creeping us out even more, creating more fear. That’s why even if Jaws doesn’t look 100% “real”, our brains feel fear. We compare our mental image of a great white to Jaws. One is simply an animal, and the other seems like a replica of that animal made by the Devil. It just isn’t right.
Its known as The "Uncanny Valley"...when things get very close but not quite exactly "real", our brains get really unsettled about it. Its likely a carry over psychological response to seeing diseased or mentally unstable animals etc in early humans and learning its bad to be around them. Its the same reason why when someone seems "off" or not quite mentally stable, it perks up our senses even if we can't say exactly why.
I love how Bruce is a actual character that has his own unique look & identity compared to other great white sharks ❤️ he honestly doesn't look animatronic to me , he just looks like his own one of a kind subspecies of GWS & ive seen millions of GWS footage & they all move they're mouth like that like chomp chomp chomp!!!! This is a perfect thing to make a animatronic because these types of sharks are very easy to make seem very realistic without much effort especially they're movement, other than the way they move they're tail , u really don't don't have to do much , these things actually act like this in real life👍

It worked fine in the test tank. It's when it was put in salt water is when the issues arised.
By the time they shot the cage material the shark worked perfectly. The tank shark was quite a bit different than the shark used in MV.
Say what you want about the shark looking fake...if you saw that in the water and not the rig, you’d probably have a heart attack on the spot.

Even the animatronic looks unsettling. There is just something of eerie and creepy with that thing in the water.
Jaws (Bruce) is one of the great on screen monsters, up there with the original King Kong and the T-Rex from Jurassic Park.
If they’d of added mechanics to the top jaw for where the gums dropped to make the shark more realistic it would of been far more terrifying.
They had mechanics to drop the top jaw. It stopped working. But the gum line could come down. You can see it in the mast attack. They should have just pulled the gums down and left them like that. The shark looks good. But it looks 10x better with the top gums descended.

I love how Bruce is a actual character that has his own unique look & identity compared to other great white sharks ❤️ he honestly doesn't look animatronic to me , he just looks like his own one of a kind subspecies of GWS & ive seen millions of GWS footage & they all move they're mouth like that like chomp chomp chomp!!!! This is a perfect thing to make a animatronic because these types of sharks are very easy to make seem very realistic without much effort especially they're movement, other than the way they move they're tail , u really don't don't have to do much , these things actually act like this in real life👍
Is it weired I find him cute?
Filmed in the tank at MGM, now Sony Pictures...the same stage was used to film Munchkinland in "The Wizard of Oz" and Hook's ship in "Hook."
Why is this better looking than CGi?
" HE NEVER KNEW HIS FATHER! "..🦈
Still scares me till this day.
I'm scared of sharks though😅😅😅😅😅😅
Amazing!!!!! :)
Knowing that this shark is fake I probably would still shit myself if I had to work underwater with it
THIS was in 1975 ... PERFECT!
