- Yay, I'm not sick anymore! (Although there was a lot of throat clearing that I cut out lol). You guys voted and I watched. So here is "Jaws." The mayor though is just... ARGH!! And the special effects are not half bad for the 70s (although you can CLEARLY tell the shark is a puppet a lot of the time lol).

"Don't tell me a dog is going to die... or a child."
No worries. You get both!
Actually Steven Spielberg has said that Pipit the dog may not have died.
“What’s possible is Pipit was not owned by the person who threw the stick. Pipit was a neighbor’s dog and Pipit decided he was tired of chasing the stick for as many times as it was thrown to him. He was hungry and ignored the stick in the water, swam home and had a very good dinner.”
If Spielberg says he went home that’s good enough for me lol
Steven Spielberg told that to alittle girl he meet. Just si she wouldn't be upset.
Yeah, he swallowed that dog like a twinkie.
@@Keendogg5276 I heard he went upstate to live on a farm
Reality is something younger generations can't deal with because they grow up overprotected. I tell them all to watch "Old Yeller" for a reality check.
I always wanted a swimming pool in 1975. My mother told me to go swimming at the town beach. I was 9 years old back then. Well we went to see Jaws that summer. At the end of the movie my mother said "Honey you are getting a swimming pool!" Mom was the best. I lost her in 2011.
Remarkably, Quint’s speech about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis is a historical fact. It really happened! His vivid description of the tragedy that resulted is one of the most epic monologues in cinematic history, and is the key to his character and his obsession with killing sharks. He smashed the radio not only because he wanted to secure the bounty and reward for killing the Great White, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge - or perhaps personal redemption - for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by killing the man-eating shark himself.
Just watched this reaction. Susan Backlinie, the girl at the beginning, passed away yesterday 5/13/24. She was 77 years old. RIP "Chrissie"
Also, the scene when they are examining Ben Gardner’s beat-up fishing boat, and Hooper pulls a shark tooth the size of a shot glass out of the hole in the hull -- just as Ben Gardner’s mutilated head suddenly appears -- is one of the greatest jump-scares of all time!
Do you know how many people this movie scared out of the ocean? Millions.
Fun Fact: The newsman on the beach on the 4th of July was Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book.
Sad to hear you were poorly.
Take it easy and stay well. If you need time off we'll always be here when you're ready.
I totally agree!!!!!!! I really hope you get better Kay!!! 💖❤️🩹💞
One of the few perfect films ever made. Interesting fact: other than the three leads, Chief’s wife, mayor and deputy the entire cast are non-actor locals. The coroner was the town coroner. The newspaperman was the writer of the script. Even the standout performance of Alex Kintner’s mother was a local high school teacher. This film achieved more with less.
No need to apologize to us. What's important is that you're back and healthy. Welcome back and best of health going forward.
The scene where Ben Gardner's head pops out of the hull breach was one of the best jump scares filmed at the time (until Jason popped out of the water in Friday the 13th). It was filmed in a swimming pool with milk poured in to make it look more hazy and was actually added for another scare by Spielberg....and boy did it scare the shit outta audiences in the theaters.
I kept hoping the greedy Mayor would go out into the water and get eaten by the shark. That would have gotten thunderous applause!
I was just a kid when this was shown at our little hometown theater...it gave me bad dreams for a pretty good while.
So glad to See you back, and yes this was one of my favorites I remember sneaking into the theater to see it, because I was too young.
In the novel, you find out the Mayor had additional motivation to keep the beaches open: the mob had a lot of real estate in Amity, and were putting pressure on him to not close the beaches, which would keep their properties from losing value.
Good thing though was Brody was vindicated in the end. I think it was the newspaper editor that wrote a article that came clean about how it was all the conspiring public officials fault that the beaches were open and prevented Brody from taking action.
It literally took me decades to realize the yellow barrels weren't just for marking where the shark is but also for wearing the shark out as it struggles to dive underwater and keep the barrels down with it.
WOW, it took you decades to realize that!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Are you severely developmentally or intellectually disabled!?!?!? I seriously don't know how anyone wouldn't know that!!!!!!!
well quint literally tells you after he fires the first barrel... "gonna wear him down, bring him up" it shouldn't have taken decades, lol
@@adamblackedition5529 And yet, a lot (in fact almost all) reactors miss it. lol
@@evacombs9720 how do you know they miss it? at what point are you able to determine if someone has missed it?
@@adamblackedition5529 When they talk about the barrels and say things like, What's with the barrels!? I still don'tget it" Or, "Oh, it's to track them!" - Do you watch a lot of Jaws reactions? I'm guessing not...
27:41 The shooting star is a Speilberg trademark, you can see one in many of his films. The one seen in this one was not a special effect but was in fact a real shooting star caught on film by accident!
24 Hrs is like 3 Weeks!!!!!!!
That line always cracks me up
So glad you're feeling better and that you're back, Kay!
Really good reaction
1. Jaws was the first "Summer Blockbuster".
2. Boy Scouts don't need to do the mile swim to get their merit badge. It's an accomplishment all its own.
3. Lee Fierro/Mrs. Kentner actually slapped Roy Scheider. It took 17 takes. Once was so hard it knocked his glasses off.
4. The jump scare at Ben Gardner's boat was put in on purpose by Spielberg because they were having problems with the shark "Bruce" and his appearance was delayed, and the movie needed something earlier. Works every time.🤣🤣
5. IRL Dreyfuss and Shaw didn't get along, so Spielberg used the animosity to fuel their feud onscreen.
6. The boy that said, "He made me do it' is now the Police Chief of the town where this movie was filmed.
7. Hooper was wrong. The fish that hit the line was "our fish".
8. To me the best scene framing work was the pullback to the vandalized Welcome sign.
9. Movie magic: An animal that large couldn't hit the side of the boat as rapidly as it did UNDER WATER.
10. I suspect Quint's story about the Indy gave him PTSD flashbacks and contributed to his behavior after he told the Indianapolis story. It' personal.
11. I was in the Navy, and we were instructed to go for the eyes when confronting a shark.
12. Aside from the pool used in the Ben Gardner boat scenes, all of the shipboard scenes were filmed entirely at sea,
13. In the book not only does Hooper die but he was also having an affair with Mrs. Brody.
14. JAWS II is the only other one worth watching. It revolves around the Brody kids and their friends. Including the mayor's son.
15 The third one was so bad that Scheider read the script and said NO.
NOTE: The book has a back story where the town is under the thumb of "the mob", explaining the money situation. It's left out of this adaptation. The project was already running over time and budget, so it was left out.
I love all that trivia! Thanks for sharing.
Dude summed up the entire comment section of every Jaws reaction in one post. Boss.
#16. The shark and the mayor had an under the table deal. The mayor would supply the shark with fresh bodies in the water in the exchange for the shark giving him phony votes to stay in office.
So, fun fact is that Spielberg wanted to show the shark more, but the mechanical shark kept breaking down so he elected to use the camera more for the shark POV. Which, worked better to build up things, and of course John Williams' amazing score.
Another fun fact, Spielberg named the shark Bruce after his lawyer. Hence Finding Nemo, the great white is named Bruce. :D Also, great whites are known to get about 20 feet long. So yeah, big bois!!!!!!
Patrick H Willems did a deep dive video on that. Apparently that's more legend than anything.. a quote used to promote the movie but doesnt hold up when look at the storyboards, script, schooting schedule. It was more that the editor chose to hide the shark as much as possible because it "looked stupid"
The shark was hidden by design early on. The beach attack scenes were filmed in May and June 1974 but the shark was never scheduled to be used for any scenes until July when filming moved out to sea for the Orca based scenes. That's where it went wrong.
Bruce could never have been used in the 3ft to 4ft shallow water where they filmed the beach scenes so it was never planned to be used.
Spielberg was already a suspense director, as Duel and Something Evil shows. He didn't want it to be just a monster movie with everything on show right away.
hi im happy your back too ,,, im glad you are doing better
The actor that plays Hooper is the main guy in close encounters of the third kind
Richard Dreyfuss
The real villain of the movie is....a mayor.
Every younger reactor I’ve seen watch this movie always asks why Chief Brody has 2 phones at his house. It’s because there are 2 separate phone lines, each with its own number. One is for the personal calls of the family the other is for business calls for Chief Brody.
Before cell phones & voicemail, when everyone had land lines, most emergency personnel had a separate line & phone for business calls. If there was an emergency & they needed to get hold of the police or fire chief when he was home they didn’t want the family tying up the phone line. Imagine there’s a terrible car crash & calling the police chief who’s off duty & getting a busy signal because the teenager has been talking on the phone for the past hour.
If it was a "theme song", I'd love to hear the lyrics. As police chief, Brody may well have had two phones - one personal, one for work.
The book is very good too. I read it in 5th grade and it has stuck with me ever since.
Your continuing fun, funny, and smart reactions are a delight to watch every single time. Thank you! Keep up the great work. Hope your channel grows and grows. You deserve all the accolades.
Hope you have a quick, full and Total recovery Kay!
I'm so happy to see you back, Kay!! I'm very glad you're feeling better!! ❤❤❤❤
There is a good example of foreshadowing in this movie that everyone seems to miss: when Chief Brody is looking through books about sharks, researching the subject, while thumbing through the books, he comes across a photo of a giant shark with a compressed air tank from a diver in its mouth. Of course, this comes full circle at the end of the movie when Brody destroys the shark by shooting the compressed air tank in its jaws. I am always surprised that no one ever points that out; it seems like such an obvious oversight to me…
So glad you are ok! Your health comes first of course! ❤
Happy to see you Kay hope ypu are feeling better, always like your intelligent reactions and sense of humor! Blessed Be
I remember seeing the movie in a drive-in, oh so long time ago. 😆 at your reaction when you saw the head popped out. Like always great reaction Kay keep it going
Glad you're feeling better. Good reaction Kay. This shattered box office records, and began the trend of the summer blockbuster. In today's dollars it made over $275 billion. at $2 per ticket. Yeah, it was huge.
Happy to see you back. Make sure you take care of yourself.
I was almost 8 when my dad, my big sister and I went to see this movie.
Always great when Kay uploads!
“We don’t know what you’re saying dude, go away” 😂
The reason they didn't want the beaches closed is that in a tourist beach town you make 70-90% of your yearly income in 3 months during the summer.
The shooting star was pure chance I heard…also glad to know u are feeling better
I was wondering
Great to see you again!!!
Anchor Jackets R Us was where i always went for my anchor embroidered clothes...and their anchor underwear was surprisingly comfortable too!!!
I’m so glad you’re still around. I’m sending all the cyber hugs
You’re right. Sharks don’t target boats.
Also you’re right about great whites. I’m Aussie and most sharks are just doing their thang.
I’ve swam with sharks and nothing happened. They are actually chill
Years later, the actress who played Alex Kintner's mom, Elizabeth Fierro, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago. The owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her - none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They had not seen each other since the original movie shoot.
Kay's anger at the mayor got me cracking up.
The perfect example of the "obstinate bureaucrat" character in films.
Record for a White Shark was 20 feet. It was a female. No one figured out how old she was but she had alot of scars so she was in many fights over the years.
True story about the USS Indianapolis. Movie USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage (2016) w/ Nicolas Cage.
He has two telephones because one is his home telephone and one his line as the town sheriff.
Awesome movie,great reactions
$3,000 in 1975, when this came out, is equivalent in purchasing power to about $17,416.28 today. So nothing to sneeze at (but I won't risk it)
10 grand in 1975 is equivalent to 60 k today. Right?
It's so strange to find you only watching this movie now. Minus the whole 'you'd be way older and closer to mortality' thing, you would have loved watching this in a cinema with a packed house. That's how I saw it in 1975 at the NJ shore after reading the paperback. The family went swimming and crabbing in the bay the next morning. Where you saw this movie definitely created an impression.
Howdy Kay!!! Here’s a cool fact not even most horror fanatics know, but Bruce the shark actually paid off those two kids with the fake fins to distract everyone while he snuck by the guns
Back then, 10 grand is the same as about 60! Grand today.
Welcome back Kay :-)
Hooper was also supposed to die in the film, but a real shark got tangled in the cage between takes (that footage is used in the film) so the script was revised so he’d live.
No the footage with the shark mangling the cage was planned. They built a much smaller scale cage to make the real shark look bigger and bated the cage to attract sharks.
@@pobstrelOh that's cool as hell, didn't know that!!!
@@pobstrel it wasn’t planned. A real shark attacked the cage and Spielberg was so impressed with the footage that he used it in the film. Hooper was in fact supposed to die in the scene but nobody was in the cage at the time forcing Hooper to live.
Scared of water! Scared of SHARKS!!!!
Kay's back? Hooray!!!! ❤
Murray Hamilton (Mayor Vaughn) was a great "semi-heavy" actor. I thought of him as a lightweight version of Hal Holbrook.
He's still the Mayor in "Jaws II." Guess politics works the way it's supposed to.
He's the cuckolded Mr. Robinson in "The Graduate."
He's "Death" (literally) in the Original Twilight Zone, S1E2, "One For the Angels."
He's one of a gang of crooks in Alfred Hitchcock Presents, S5E37, "Escape to Sonoita." The crooks kill each other off over the last canteen of water, not knowing that the stolen oil tanker truck they're driving is now a water tanker and just hasn't been repainted yet.
And approximately 160 other acting credits.
Nice video and a great movie.
Go easier on the dock swimmers' technique. He is swimming in boots, pants, and a winter wool coat. Add in the panic & he did amazing to even get back to the dock!
Never. If your life is in peril, you'd better be going faster than that, clothes or not.
Spielberg in his early days wasn't afraid to kill off a kid. Imagine if Jurassic Park had been made by the early era Spielberg.
Jaws was inspired by the Jersey Shore shark attacks in 1916
I think those sharks where a smaller type of sharks. Maybe bull sharks.
@@jackprescott9652they were bull sharks.
36:15. there is a reason he wants them in the water, and that's to assure people theres no danger. the whole reason people are not getting in is because they fear theres a shark there, and this is the mayor's way of showing that theres nothing to fear
The mayor should have dollar signs instead of anchors on his jacket.
The nastiest scene in the movie is not finding the girl's remains on the beach, or cutting open the tiger shark. It's when Hooper hands Brody his glasses before getting in the cage, and Brody holds them in his mouth.
True about the fear of Great Whites.However it also caused a mix of curiosity as well. At the time my dad had a fishing boat out of Oceanside Ca and following this movie people paid me to take them out to try and see a huge Great White. A few times I came across the same 17' long female great White off of San Clemente island and whle she wan't as big as "Bruces" 25" in the movie, her length and mass impressed my clients/charter.
Swashbuckler?....it is said for the longest most spectacular sword fight from old Hollywood you may want to see...Scaramouche.
Both the “Jaws” novel and the movie were inspired by a series of deadly shark attacks along the Jersey shore over a short period of time, resulting in multiple fatalities, all of which were caused by a single rogue bull shark. In short, incidents like those portrayed in Jaws do indeed take place in real life. Check the shark attack records for Florida, Australia, and California for more evidence.
I used to think Chrissy's attack at the start was unrealistic - like you, I figured wouldn't it just bite her leg off or similar. Until I saw the footage of poor Vladimir Popov's fatal attack in Hurghada...there was a lot of wild thrashing about, it's pretty accurate for how some attacks go.
The oceanographer seem familiar to you? Sure. That's just Richard Dreyfuss. Big Hollywood star. Known for his roles in movies such as Stakeout, Another Stakeout, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Jaws, What About Bob?, etc, etc. -OG
Three thousand dollars in 1975 would be worth over seventeen thousand in today's money.
Just hope you're doing and feeling better.
1 down, 3 left! Great movie, and honestly this was the best (I did like 4). Press on!
Ben Gardiner....scaring the bejesus out of people since 1975. 😊
Glad to hear you’re doing better.
$3k in 1975 is almost $17,500 today. That’s not bad.
Quint destroyed the radio because he’s gone full Ahab. Wants the kill for himself
I mean it is a beach. Going in the water is part of the whole thing. Doesn’t look good when no one is partaking. You don’t want people coming to a carnival and not getting on the rides
Jaws reactions are fun!
Can't believe she hasn't seen it! I saw it in 1975 at 10 years old because nobody had any idea how it would being rated PG.
Mrs. Kintner musr not have been at the town meeting, is my guess. Otherwise, she would have probably figured out that sheriff Brody was coerced into reopening the beaches after the 24-hour period. At least then Brody wouldn't have gotten slapped.
Oh NOO! The roast!
Glad you liked it Kay and sharks will bite boats lol
Hey Kay, you guess that there was a shooting star, actually 2 at that scene🌠🌠
the shark really gave you jump scares🦈
The original scenes for the little boy and the Estuary victim's death were much worse , but we're changed in the final cut and slightly toned down. Still my favourite film of all time.⚓🦈🦈
Glad to see you well and getting back into the groove, Kay.. 'Jaws' is one of my favorite films growing up. I had the soundtrack on vinyl and played it constantly. I was able to go to Universal Studios when the film opened in '74 and see a life-sized mock-up of the mechanical shark they used. I wish I still had my pictures of it.
Quint makes reference to 'The Worst Shark Attack in History'. On July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis is torpedoed by a Japanese submarine and sinks within minutes in shark-infested waters. Only 316 of the 1,196 men on board survived. Survivors were in the water for 4 days & 5 nights, subject to exhaustion, dehydration & regular shark attacks.
You should add in that an SOS was sent but the three (?) radio listening posts that received the radio message ignored it either because of their immediate commanders standing order or thinking it was a Japanese trick.
The Navy hid this because the operations of the listening posts were classified.
It didn't come out to the public until a highschooler discovered the info for a report after it was declassified.
Bruce the great white shark of these film is not an evil creature. His eyes were so kind. An animal of its size can`t survive eating only 5 people and a dog. He ate mostly fish, seals and other sea creatures; sadly he was a little gluttonous so he did enjoy eating a human being here and there.
The name of the shark in this movie is Bruce.
Hi! First reactioner/reactioneer/reactionteur on this channel.
It’s always good fun to re-visit one of my favourite movies with fresh eyes.
I’m loving it already, looking forward to the ”Ben Gardner’s head” bit… 🥂
My favourite movie i was 11 when it came out. Back in the day when they could tell a story and not rely on cgi to wow audiences. Today with have too much cgi which gets boring.
Your Dad obviously has great taste. This is my favourite movie of all time. Ps glad your back and making a recovery. Take care.
The guy at the beginning was innocent though. He didn't kill her!
I know. Obviously the shark did it. It was just a joke. (But what I said was true)
One of my absolut favorit movies :)
Oh yes. And the shark is nasty.
Never swim in murky water in the ocean also certain times of the day I think dusk, it's prime hunting eating times.
I forgot you also need to know your beach flag colors, I always think I can go offshore kayak fishing until I watch this movie.
Sharks bite boats.
but did you see how long the chain was ,, then how close the dock was so close to the guy ,,, did you hear the mayor say his kids was on the beach ( but not in the water ) the true fact that an air tank can not blow up by shooting it ,,, it was tested on a TH-cam show
Sharks don't really act like this. I ADORE this film, but it's led to SO MANY unnecessary shark deaths. If you want to see the exact same scenario by Spielberg, watch Duel. It's amazing, and VERY believable. In that scenario, the shark is a person
9:40 Tell that to the humans that have been attacked. ;)
Hooper was originally going to die (just like in the book where both him and Quint were killed by the shark).
However, while filming the underwater footage, a random shark accidentally got stuck in the cage's cables (it fortunately got freed when the cables broke). Because it was such a cool shot (but there was no one in the cage), Spielberg just changed the script and had Hooper survive to the end.
The book, while exceptional with its action scenes, was pretty trashy; the mayor was in debt to the mob and Brody had to deal with even more jerks interfering with him keeping the public safe (to the point of Brody's pet cat getting slaughtered in protest) and most of the characters were pretty trashy and unlikable people
While the novel was a success, its author Peter Benchley felt guilty as sharks were nearly hunted to extinction in the decades following his book and the movie's success (many shark species are still endangered today). Until his death, along with writing more novels, Benchley largely wrote articles for National Geographic and other magazines educating the public about conservation and protecting sharks and other endangered sea animals.
I highly recommend you check out the movie "The Deep" underwater movie =D
