Closing line actually follows "I think the tide's in our favor." Brody says "You know, I used to hate the ocean." Hooper replies, "Really? I can't imagine why."
What day is it? Tuesday?
Keep doing these pop culture podcasts. It adds gravitas to the sports stuff. The ringer is that guy over the fence that can talk about anything and that’s why we like it.
All That Jazz is Scheider's greatest performance, but this movie literally a top-10 hit of all time, and he is the non-shark star.
Film student here, "the Jaws shot" is KNOWN as "the Jaws shot" but it is called THE DOLLY ZOOM. Made famous by the movie but also famous in Hitchcock's Vertigo. Film studies call it by what it actually is and not by the movie it was famous for.
The famous dolly zoom shot on Brody was taken from Hitchcock’s Vertigo. Spielberg used it again in E.T.
If JAWS did not exist, JAWS 2 would be considered the best shark movie of all time.
Haha, great point!
To me the most rewatchable scene is the Indianapolis speech. Not only the best scene in this movie but one of the best scenes in any movie ever. Shaw just pulls you into the story so you feel like you're in that water trying to scare the sharks away!
The scene with the son is my favorite, too. I think it plays two ways. As a dad myself, this scene shows his vulnerability: he is a father and his son adores him, no matter what the town people think.
Also, it shows what is at stake: the future. His son mimicking him shows him learning how to be a man himself, and Brody knows it intuitively, and it adds to the pressure he’s experiencing.
Bill makes a good point about the aspect ratio. Jaws was one of the first VHS tapes to have the black bars on top and bottom to preserve the widescreen.
Bad plot explanation of Sorcerer (1977). The fragile cargo the trucks carry is nitroglycerine. Though in hiding due to their criminal pasts, the characters are not "being chased by dirty cops" while making the perilous journey. First of all, no one is chasing them. Secondly, Scheider's character is on the run from the mafia, not "dirty cops."
It is the most watchable, my favourite and head to toe, pound for pound what a film should be
I can’t believe they didn’t touch on “A WHAT???” when the random fisherman didn’t know what a tiger shark was.
I don’t think Brody’s scene of him chumming needs CGI at all, I think the shark looks great in that scene when it comes to the surface. Great podcast guys! 👍🏼
The straightening up of Brody after seeing the shark was great.
Roy Scheider is one of the most criminally Oscar-ignored actors EVER.
Why do you think that every thought that passes through your dim litttle brain needs to be shared in the comments?
@@keeganshigh What a valueless response.
@@puremercury the value is in the lesson that no one wants to read your douchebag comments
@@keeganshigh So, no value then.
😂
Greatest third act of all time
8:35 the reason movies probably weren’t big in the summers before jaws, is that air conditioning was almost unheard of. I doubt people wanted to be inside hot dark dirty theaters in most parts of the country during peak summer months during 50s and 60s
The year before Jaws, the Best Director nominees were Coppola (winner for The Godfather, Part II), Polanski (Chinatown), Truffaut (Day for Night), Fosse (Lenny), and John Cassavetes (A Woman Under the Influence).
I was about 6 (1977) when I first saw Jaws...this movie still terrifies me, and I rarely will go swimming in the ocean.
Sorcerer is fucking awesome.
I heard a lot of stories about Robert Shaw over the years. Everyone hated him! I didn't know, he dared Richard Dreyfuss to climb the mass and jump off! Crazy!
The part about going outside as a kid and being gooooooonnnnneeeee is so spot on !!! From 10-11am till maybe dinner, maybe !!! Then it was the street lights. I was outside for years...
Fellas Mayor Vaughn was in Jaws 2.
The best 4th of July movie?
Yes
The Shallows was really good.
Remember the Jaws 'Buckeroo' game? The plastic shark had its jaws fixed with a rubber band, so they'd snap shut. 🦈
The Taylors also made a movie called "Blue Water, White Death", a documentary that ran as the second movie to "The Reivers" at drive-ins.
I had always heard about a possible prequel to Jaws titled "Jaw" that supposedly Spielberg was going to produce back in the 2000s when the wave of other shark movies was growing but with so many delays and the sad death of Peter Benchley in 2006 to write the script i think it will never happen. 20 years later I still would of love to see it. The idea of that same 26 foot great white from Jaws hunting people down before it got to Amity Island sounded like it could of actually been entertaining.
No, this prequel about Quint and the Indianapolis sinking was what he proposed to make immediately after Jaws came out, but the studio wanted an actual sequel and while Spielberg did think about making the second film for a time, he decided to make Close Encounters instead and then dropped the Indianapolis prequel entirely. He’s never made an effort to make a Jaws prequel since not continuing with the franchise after the first film.
Just saw the movie again July 4 in a theater with a lot of film (including my son) people in Hollywood. State of the art sound. Without a doubt, Steven Spielberg’s co-director was John Williams. It’s a horror movie, a monster movie, and an adventure movie, and everything is driven by the score. I jumped three times for real.
52 Pick-Up. 2010. He kept hitting home-runs.
In Columbus, Ohio Zoombezi Bay has a large wave pool and they brought in a large screen and played the movie when it started to get dark. In hindsight it probably wasn't a great idea to bring the kids.
The reshoots were shot in Oscar-winning editor Verna Fields swimming pool, and if I recall correctly the reaction shots of Hooper were the eyes of the stuntman not Dreyfuss.
Bill was killing it but the others weren’t there
Did you miss the crushing of the styrofoam cup? What about the old sailor who helps Hooper out of his boat when he first arrives?
1:18:53
Shit yeah, Mayor Vaughn got re-elected! He’s still mayor in part 2.
Forgot to talk about the movie poster and how iconic it is. Perhaps the most recognized and ripped off movie poster ever
Mayor Vaughn did get reelected he's the mayor in jaws 2
“The oldest completely rewatchable movie”? 1972, “The Godfather”, 1974 “The Godfather 2”.
Do you think that George Costanza "the see was angry that day" speech in the Marine Biologist episode would have been the same had Shaw not knocked out of the park his Indianapolis monologue? I wonder. I'd put a nickel on not.
According to Bill the scariest thing about the sea is Martin Burney
This jaws video isn’t on your rewatchables video playlist. Are there hidden rewatchable videos that we are unaware of?
Gosh, being forced to keep the beach open for economic reasons even though people are dying, oddly poignant in 2020
The dead boy's mother died of Covid
If only jaws the shark wore a facemask
Shark seemed Pretty Calculated _'Mindless'?
This was the first movie i ever saw. It was a drive in double feature with sgt Pepper. I was 8. I was afraid to take a bath. I was afraid to sit on a toilet.
Love the way the movie trailer in no way attempts to demonise sharks.
That’s some bad hat Harry
Ken Watanabe as quint
I though Heat was Chris Ryan’s fave
Exactly
Just realized Quint is Ahab
Sean asking if people still do dolly zooms was somewhat perplexing.
For unanswered questions, don’t we see the mayor in Jaws 2?
You suggest it's 'too white', but I lived in a seaside town during the mid seventies and there was exactly one black guy in the whole town then. It was like that through to the mid 80s. Artificially dropping in minorities to a different time and place would be dishonest film making.
I'm honestly surprised that the Lady of the Dunes didn't come up in your half-assed online research. That is pretty creepy as well.
JAWS is the ultimate ChickFlick. I'm not into RomComs but give me three men on a boat that I get to spend that much time with - C'mon. And three different men. No - not Kevin Costner or Harrison Ford or Brad Pitt or whatever heartthrob of the moment is but three real and DIFFERENT men. So I have this philosophy of what happens when a woman goes into a pub and runs into these three guys - let's say it's some island in the middle of nowhere because they are still searching for sharks or maybe in this version they land the monster. But at the end of the night who does the woman go home with? Martin Brody who is handsome as hell in a black turtle neck and smokes a good cigarette? Matt Hooper who is brilliant and sexy smart and has a contagious laugh? Or - the mighty Quint? Here's how that plays out - go home with Brody and eventually you walk down the aisle, get married and live a quiet life (minus that one summer) with days overlapping in their same, simple lovely routine. Go home with Hooper and you date madly for six months - move in together - and begin to have you just don't understand me and your smothering me conversations that lead nowhere and have a tumultuous break-up during Christmas. Go home with Quint - for a tumultuous, drunken passionate weekend or two weeks tops before it all goes to hell. But you'll smile every time you think about him for the rest of your life. - - - - Might suppose if you combined elements of all three men you'd get THE PERFECT MAN but until modern science arranged that one - I'll just keep rewatching JAWS for life. PS - I grew up on the beach. ON. THE. BEACH. swam at night in the waves after work until this movie hit the big screen. Then no one went in above their ankles all summer. Thanks for a great show.
Best quote comes from Quint: "Here's to swimming with bow-legged women". It's one to ponder 🤔😋
Roy S. > Blue Thunder / The Seven-Ups
The greatest movie of all time!
1. Jaws
2. Shawshank Redemption
3. Who cares
The shots with Brody under the water. Is actually a dwarf actor. Dressed up like Richard Dreyfus.
And the shark is REAL. It’s shot in Australia. The photographers used a dwarf to make the shark look bigger

Hooper.
4 years ago. dAMN. might be time for a rejawsagble. COME ON CR
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im not a horror fan, and even though i dont consider this technically a horror movie on paper a movie, i wouldn't like it, but i do i wouldn't say top 5 all time for me anyway but i agree it's one of those movies from every age group knows and enjoys.. by the way, surprisingly or not, i just started watching the movie rewatchables this week started with stand by me and just been binging them happy to say not disappointed.. 😅
Lorraine GARY. Not Gray.
This is a great film, my favorite horror film of all time, though there are some things said here that are wrong. Mayor Vaughn is in Jaws 2, so he got re-elected by the public. He was a better character in that film. Also all the scenes of Hopper underwater were not done by Richard Dreyfuss, but by a diving double who provided all the facial reactions and screams. It’s sad that while these podcasts are quite good, certain facts like these that aren’t hard to find out about aren’t corrected by those with you nor do you find them during your research. I do think it’s a shame Steven Spielberg, Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw all got over looked at the Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. Whether they would have won if nominated is one thing, but they deserved to be nominated and it’s a shame they weren’t acknowledged by he Academy. The film was nominated for Best Picture, but that was the only Oscar the film didn’t win. Great film though. Deservingly won 3 Academy Awards, including John Williams’s iconic score, and it’s still an effective film to this day. In the end, that’s a better prize than Best Picture.
I gotta go with Schindler's List for best Spielberg. But Jaws is #2 or #3.
Shut up.
Schindler’s List sucked. Boring.
Drive thru...CR should know better.
This pod very disappointingly failed to mention that the Mayor also appeared in Jaws 2 (at least). After the public disaster in Jaws 1, he somehow was able to be (presumably) re-elected and continued to be mayor again! Imagine that! It's some kind of commentary about political corruption or ignorance of the locals or both to have someone that terrible to be re-elected from the 1970s continuing on to today--hopefully we don't have a repeat this year. Your half-ass research on Jaws must be full ass for you not know or remember Mayor Vaughn was in Jaws 2, so obviously was reelected.
Blockbusters were a result of the advent of malls. Kids hung out in malls all day in the summer. Malls had movie theaters......
The movie is "too white"? Oh give me a break. In that case, the movies Shaft and Superfly are too black.
Calm down
U read my mind...I don't watch a "black" movie n think this needs some whites in it. To be fair afew blks on the beach would be fine n changes the movie 0%. Its not exactly a large cast if you think about it. And this jst a stupid rant about a stupid comment but to bring up race or lack there of when talking about Jaws is pathetic and small minded.
There actually are a few black people on the beach. No speaking parts though *shrug*.
@@sllimthg Toughen up, snowflake.
I don't really care about your sports videos but I do love when y'all review movies. I call b*******though. You are always in that town or close by whatever Town it takes place in every time one of these movies was released or when you first saw it
Yea the shark breaching and physically landing on the boat would be an awful choice even if the effects were believable. But the fact that this happened with such a clearly fake prop is very cringe worthy today (I think the shark model actually physically bends when it hits). Is it possible this is the origin of the expression “jump the shark”?
No. That would be on Happy Days when Fonzy, riding his motorcycle, jumped over a shark infested pool.... in the parking lot of Arnold's drive-in. This was intended to boost the ratings of a show that had run its course. So, when a show gets desperate for ratings.... they 'jump the shark' with guests stars or lame plotlines (i.e. CSI crossovers, live episode of E.R., etc.).
@@robertcosta6967 I believe they went to CA and he jumped over a shark while waterskiing - while wearing his leather jacket.
Jaws was the beginning of the end for Hollywood. Star Wars was another…Speilberg himself represent the crapy gimmicky Hollywood we all know today
Oh bullshit. There are so many great films made throughout the 80s, 90’s and early 2000s. The films suck now, all this cartoon/marvel garbage. You can’t blame that on Spielberg.
