Wow, his voice still sounds exactly the same as when Jaws 2 was filmed.
Fantastic that they have all remained friends for all this time. They all contributed so much to J2.
To me, Jaws 2 was always a great sequel. It felt like a natural continuation from the first one, also the way it was directed, the look of the picture and sound, while 3 and 4 also felt visually very different and like not being in the same universe.
A sequel I hold dear in my heart 🤗
Being a teenager in the 70s and 80s was such a better time.
Amen!!
"Andy" was always one of my faves in jaws 2. Seemed like a great guy and a good friend.
What a great interview. He seems like such a great and humble man.
I'm sorry for your losses. ❤
Gary is so likeable, jolly & funny. great interview, really sweet man!
I love the Andy character. He’s so confident, fun, but also strong. I especially love when he’s being tough with Sean but then softens up. Great character. I feel like he held the group together.
These interviews are really fun, thank you so much!
(A fun aside, I start watching the Jaws movies every summer on June 1st. This year I’ve already watched Jaws 2 about 4 times. I’ve really grown to love it more and more every time I see it.)
He was definitely one of my favorite characters in the movie. He was funny, tough but tender, and stepped up as a leader. Perfect casting.
What a great interview. Gary was so much fun lol. I'm going to spend the weekend watching the others. Yes Jaws 2 is a very solid sequel and a worthy one at that.
I think a really strong aspect of Jaws 2 is the teenagers and their performances. You really believe they're all friends who go to school together, and hang out on the weekends and off time. It could have been really bad for the film had they been written worse or more unlikable, but as they are, I think they're a decent compliment to Scheider's Brody.
I have always heard that actors love rehearsing and that their performances and chemistry are better if a lot of rehearsing is done first. In the case of Jaws 2, the "rehearsing" was all the hanging out they got to do over quite a long period. I think most "teen" horror movies would be a lot stronger if the actors got to know each other well before most of the filming happened.
Yeah thanks to the casting director?
He was also in Dog Day Afternoon. He plays the third bank robber who chickens out at the last minute, leaving Al Pacino and John Cazale all on their own, the beginning of everything going downhill for them.
Jaws 2 is one of my favorite movies and Andy is my favorite character ,I wish there was more John Hancock footage
I loved every minute of this interview! Gary Springer is one of the greats in my opinion. His classic line in the movie absolutely cracked me up when he was yelling at Sean in the scene where he was afraid to turn around and get the rope for fear of falling off the upside down boat, and Andy shouts "Sean listen to me or I'll break your ass, ya hear?!" I never heard anyone say "Break your ass" before this 🤣 It was always "Kick" or "Bust".
Im loving these cast interviews. I've already watched it twice this weekend.
I always had a feeling Gary Springer was probably a cool guy in real life. Seems like a great dude.
This made me so happy! He’s as awesome as I always thought he’d be🤗♥️
We need a Marc Gruner interview!
What a nice guy. When he started talking about his history, I thought he was bragging, but I quickly realised he wasn’t. He’s a humble man just telling his tale; which is interesting AF. Loved this interview.
Such a cool guy and played a really memorable character.
The teenage cast for Jaws 2 was great. And they're one reason why I love Jaws 2 as much as I do. Everyone seemed to be having so much fun together and that showed in the film. Their chemistry and their charm definitely helped make the film more enjoyable.
"Where are you Gary ?"
- " In Hendrink's house in "Amity'.
Oh to be there, exploring the sights of what remains of the infrastructure.
I love that photo of all the kids together on the back of the boat.
"SEAN IF YOU DONT LISTEN TO ME I'm gonna break your ass you hear?????" Love that part.
This was a joy to watch! Awesome interview.
What an awesome video so glad to see old friends again. Jones is my all-time favorite movie! Glad to see the cast from the old movies back together. Does the heart good reliving old memories!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Jaws 2 is my favorite. Andy reminds me of a friend I had who I associate with water because he, my brother, and I went to a pool club thing every summer for a few years.
One of my favourite characters in Jaws 2 , great to see that your good and well sir 😊
He's a good guy. Loved his character in Jaws 2.
Really loving theses interviews.
He’s just how I would imagine him at this age . Great cast member
He was also in Dog Day Afternoon he chickened out of the bank robbery
One of my favo rite lines from Andy " Sean, grab that rope or I'm gonna bust your ass!" 😆
"God I'm Hungry "
16:50 Lucy's Legs ❤
These interviews are amazing! Great job organizing and line of questioning. Jaws 2 is a highly entertaining film, mainly because the cast is appealing and we care about them. And, John Williams’s score is wonderful.
Great interview. What a nice man. This is the interview I went to first as I always thought Gary's character was the best of the youngsters. More depth, and, to be honest, he had the better delivery. Sounds like Roy regretted being so grouchy!
Just watched Jaws 2 the other day again for the 50th time...
Really good film. Only problem is that it's not the original and nothing can ever be.
These interviews are great. It's so nice to see these actors again. We watch the movie every year (along with the original). Gary's personality is just as vibrant as Andy's in the movie. It was a great cast, but Gary/Andy steals the show.
Absolute gold. Amazing interview.
The scene where he is throwing the rope to Sean, although brief, is one of the highlights of the movie. How he got mean with him about catching the rope, but all to get him to man up and them help him. And in the end, he gives him a hug. I was glad he made it and didn't get eaten.
Just watched it on cable for free for about the 10th time. It still entertains 😊
Love these interviews. Great stuff
45 years ago the cast members in this movie and me looked a lot younger
Andy and Larry Junior were the big bros i wanted to have outta the bunch, when i saw this movie back on the early 80s.
Those two were the ones who immediately just took charge of the catastrophic situation as much as they can.
Love the Jaws movies, still watch all of them to this day. I am enjoying these interviews, Gary seems like a great guy, a bit stuck on himself but...he's alright....God, I'm hungry lol!
Lovely interview matey
Great guy - fun listen
A very lovely guy
Without watching the credits to tell me otherwise, which I recently did, I assumed for many years this guy was Michael J. Pollard.
The aroma of perm solution must have attracked the shark.
Brilliant👏👏😊
The scene with Andy & Sean is one of the highlights of the movie.
I have a hot take on the first two Jaws movies; while Jaws will always be my favorite by a wide margin, I'd argue that Jaws 2 was scarier. I'd also argue the Jaws 2 theme is, if not better than the Jaws theme, at least more interesting. The first theme evokes pure primal fear and it works perfectly on that level, but the Jaws 2 theme somehow manages to be both scary and beautiful, evoking a feeling of uncertainty and dread.
Many view Jaws 1 as a horror movie, which i rather disagree with.
I see that first movie more as an Adventure Thriller.
Jaws 2, however.. Now, that one's definitely a horror flick. They even decided to scar the shark to scarify it even more... It predated Freddy as the first burnt horror creature.
Wtf? 😂😂😂😂 Jaws 2 theme? Just stop already
I remember seeing Gary Springer in a made for TV movie called "Dinky Hocker". He played the good friend of an overweight girl (Wendy Jo Sperber) who is ignored by her liberal activist mother (June Lockhart). In the movie, Gary calls out the mother constantly for her dizzy politics and for neglecting her daughter.
Donna Wilkes interview......
OMG Marilyn was his BABYSITTER🤯😜. And I thought I had a babysitter crush, oh my.
My favorite character.
In the last month or two, I met both him AND Jeffrey!
Love the scene when he tells Sean "I'm gonna bust your ass". It's almost a call back to Ellen telling Michael to get out of the boat in the original movie. The tone is very similar and maybe unintentionally.
Gary did an episode of Happy Days..
He hasn't changed!
I only like the first Jaws film. Nonetheless, this is still cool, I like the nostalgia...and he seems like a nice guy.
The only cast kid that past away is gary dubin aka eddie
🌜🦋🦋 love these guys 🦋🦋🌛
One of the best things about Jaws 2 is that we are spared the character of Hooper (a complete arsehole)
Especially in the Benchley novel!
I love when he saves sean! That was awesome
Marge saves Sean
@@robertolopedota8217 no I mean when they're trying to get him to grab the rope and they pull his boat over to there's and he jumps into his arms and he says you ok kid?
Personally, I think Jaws 2 was an awesome movie in both actors and story. I do however think the new mechanical shark in Jaws 2 looked and performed very different from the original. It looks fake in many scenes. The original "Bruce" looked very real and more convincing. I wish the same shark was used! This is my only gripe with Jaws 2.
Yeahh....you know they wanted the shark to be able to do different things with its mouth and....really it wasn't necessary but they had to change its design a bit to make that work and that's why it ended up looking different.
Good video
Hes probanly the most memorable of the teens other than screaming jackie that never shut up lol
Mike's friend
Wow he was in dog day afternoon?! Nice
He fantastic in hometown usa . Rock n roll movie
Great video in addition to all the others,but I cant believe you didnt ask him about Marylin Monroe being his baby sitter..wtf!
Amity as you KNOW means friendship”😉
He looks good
How do you find these people
Gary is great and he sounds a lot like Jeff Bridges.
"This is the only dump in town where the garbage man delivers!"
"Hah! Haahh! Haaahhh!"
should of left the jowls on the shark....mouth looks dumb in the second film Bruce still holds up as the best looking fake shark
Maybe in the franchise but the animatronic mako in deep blue sea was hands down the best animatronic of all time. Jaws and Jurassic Park are my favorite films of all time but that mako animatronic was phenomenal and it swam too. Sadly the CGI wasn't up to the same level of quality
thickerconstrictor9037
The animatronic mako in Deep Blue Sea wasnt being used miles out in the real ocean though. 😉
The first film barely shows the shark so it's hard to say which film had the better shark. They definitely should have not shown the full shark as much as they did in part 2.
I agree and its so bizarre as they used the same moulds for 1 and 2 definitely but yeah it has this weird under bite type mouth in 2 it looks so silly. It's also coloured differently for some reason. It's barely dark grey on white, more like a light grey all over. Still love the film though 😀. The Revenges Shark I think again had same moulds but they resculpted the mouth to have those great white retractable jaws, but even that didn't make it look any better as the skin was a weird rough looking texture and makes it look bad. Funny thing is I can still watch that movie 😂
@@RabidGerry JTR isn't nearly as bad as people say. Just a lot of shot and editing problems which is was the result of a short shooting schedule.
“God,I’m hungry…”😉
One of the best Caucasian afros to come out of the 20th century...
Jaws 2 has received some bad reviews by people all around... and sure! i get it why, No Spielberg, Scheider didnt want to do it, Dreyfus refused, and the scripts was mediocre... but the cast of the kids IS AMAZING!!! these group of kids are and were better actors than some of the kiddy films we see today ... the cast is wonderful and they make me keep watching it.... Jackie and Tina were hotties!!!
He looks a little like the actor Michael J Pollard.
'Promo sm' 😍
only good part is the beginning where the shark comes into the bay at night..
Of JAWS and JAWS 2, JAWS 2 is the "better film"? Come on, I've never heard anybody say that. That's going too far.
I personally like it better. It’s scarier and just has a lot of great scenes.
Yeah Jaws 2 was a pale movie compared with the Original , Jaws had a much better story between the three main characters
I liked it better because it was such a highly anticipated film...
We could hardly wait to see it! I don't think I've ever been that excited to go to the cinema since.
And secondly, the characters were (or were supposed to be...) my same age.
Both are great @@dangreene3895
