R.I.P. actress Susan Backlinie who played Chrissie, the first shark victim. She just passed away May 11, 2024 at the age of 77.
She was a local in the town I lived. Never had the pleasure to meet her? Poor lady..
REALLY ??? Argh, I'm so sad to hear this !! Her performance is incredible.
It was filmed on Martha's Vineyard.
😢😢😢
RIP Susan --you played a memorable part.✝️🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤
12:32 Fun fact: In 2015, Lee Fierro, who played the mother of Alex Kintner, walked into a restaurant that sold an "Alex Kintner sandwich." She told the waiter that she played the mother of Alex Kintner in "Jaws". The waiter told her that he would be back in a second, he went into the kitchen and a moment later, the owner ran out to meet her, and he was none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who played her son. They had not seen each other since the original movie shoot in 1974.
My brother also met Jeffery at that restaurant a few years ago. Lee passed away a few years ago.
I wonder if Jason Voorhees was named after Jeffrey as an Easter egg. The name seems too close to be coincidence.
Sadly Lee passed away from COVID-19. RIP.
Fun Fact: The TV reporter doing the news blurb on the beach was played by Peter Benchley, the author of the original novel Jaws.
THAT DOLLY ZOOM NEVER STOPS BEING SO RAD
It amazes me every time I see it.
"You're gonna need a bigger boat."
Fun Fact: Director Steven Spielberg named the shark "Bruce" after his lawyer.
What Script Fact: According to writer Carl Gottlieb, the line "You're gonna need a bigger boat." was not scripted, but was ad-libbed by Roy Scheider.
Location Location Fact: Quint's (Robert Shaw) boathouse set was built in Martha's Vineyard on an abandoned lot. The city council made the production crew sign an agreement to demolish it after filming and replace everything exactly as it had been, right down to the litter.
Writing Ensemble Fact: Quint's tale of the USS Indianapolis was conceived by playwright Howard Sackler, lengthened by screenwriter John Milius and rewritten by Robert Shaw following a disagreement between screenwriters Peter Benchley and Carl Gottlieb. Shaw presented his text, and Benchley and Gottlieb agreed that this was exactly what was needed. It's widely considered the best scene of the movie.
The Rest Of The Story Fact: Several decades after the film's release, Lee Fierro (RIP), who played Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed "Alex Kintner Sandwich" on the menu. She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago; the owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her, and he was none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They had not seen each other since the original movie shoot. I'm told Jeff still owns the restaurant at Martha's Vineyard and he loves talking to fans.
Hahaha Bruce is a fantastic name for that shark!
The location location fact is new to me, thanks! I find it ironic that the town (Amity) was depicted as being so desperate for tourist money, yet the real town forced the production crew to destroy something that could have made them millions of tourist dollars. Can you imagine how many people would pay for a tour of Quint’s boathouse?
16:04 that watery corpse gets EVERYBODY! lol
1975 was this movie's year. It enjoyed success all through the summer, fall & winter...AND...had at least 2 or 3 more re-releases before network television premiere in 1980 or 1981 and even then, a major ratings in television history.
The line about needing a bigger boat is an actual quote from someone that was trapped in a situation the movie was partially based on, when there was a great white on the East Coast that folks tried to catch and it was way too big for the boat they were in. Quint's speech remains one of my favorite in movie history, it is absolutely bonkers and haunting. RIP. to the great Robert Shaw.
Just imagine: you're out swimming in the ocean late one night. Water, so cool and calm. You have to pee, maybe a little, but yeah, you're enjoying the swim. Then... all of a sudden... some dude's tater comes bobbing up right next to you, eyes wide open and frozen in a state of shock and fear. Yikes, we're gonna need another Timmy!!!!! Oh, and the line, "That's Some Bad Hat, Harry" was used by the company that made the TV show House, MD. You can hear it at the end of every episode.
I think it was also at the end of Dave's World
The reporter on the beach is played by Peter Benchley, the author of the book this movie is based on.
Definitely react to Jaws 2. It goes headlong into slasher movie territory, and it’s a lot of fun.
Fun fact no one wanted to direct a sequel to Jaws. So Universal had to promised director Jeannot Szwarc that if he would direct Jaw 2 they would let him make his passion project "Somewhere in Time".
"Wizards" (1977) is a violent, satirical animated action fantasy set in a post apocalyptic world where technology which is blamed for the nuclear apocalypse has been abandoned and replaced by magic.
STRONG drugs are required for Wizards and you know it.
@@jordanpeterson5140 The funny thing about that is that the last time I watched "Wizards" when I was in the hospital recovering form open heart surgery and was pumped full of pain medication.
@@waterbeauty85 your honor, I rest my case.
Someone at work loaned me the blu-ray of Wizards LAST SUMMER and I completely forgot I had it until she very politely asked for it back. Now I regret not watching it (but maybe it's better if I just buy it anyway bc it does sound like my kind of movie).
A classic thriller. Spielberg had to capitalize on the “what you don’t see is so much more horrifying” theme. Mainly because the damn shark kept breaking down. He nicknamed the shark “Bruce” apparently after his lawyer.
Rocky and also Carrie are two really good 1970’s movies.
My God, what a movie! A STONE COLD CLASSIC!!!
✌❤🎥
Hi there, I have started following your reactions. I enjoy them very much. Some fun facts: the news reporter on the beach is Peter Benchley himself, the writer of the book JAWS. Spielberg wanted him to have a part in the movie. The voice of the radio operator on the boat is Spielberg himself. And the phrase: You're gonna need a bigger boat" became pop iconic to describe a situation in which a person will have to deal with a problem with better material or emotional resorurces in order to overcome some problems. Spanish is my first language, so I hope this English is O.K.. Greetings from Argentina.
Quint's death is so gory. I saw this a hundred times edited for television. When I first saw it uncut as an adult, it blew my mind.
Yes! Spielberg really, really wanted Lee Marvin to play Quint but he refused to get eaten by the Shark .... So Shaw got the part!
can u imagine all movies being filmed this good, acted this good, nothing now
Fun fact: scheider was sitting with the little boy (and others ) during a break and he started imitating scheider. So speilberg put it in the movie
The actual analysis of the movie from other directors is so interesting. The techniques Spielberg used on this moved changed storytelling in cinema forever.
Jaws reactions are my very favorite You Tube videos to watch. You two didnt disappoint!
I saw this movie at the movie theatre . The jump scare with the head falling out of the hole in the boat was the biggest jump scare I’d seen . People’s popcorn went flying
Found out what they were talking about when they said SMG!
Johnson Submarine Speargun (SMG) is was made in the USA by Tapmatic Corp. I believe they were made around 1968. This vintage speargun uses 22 caliber cartridges to fire the spears.
Ma’am, you nailed it with your comments about the shark. It began to take on supernatural tones, which made it even scarier. Oh, and JAWS may encompass several genres including thriller, action, drama, and even comedy, but first and foremost it’s a horror movie. The fear and terror JAWS created was primal and it affected an entire generation of moviegoers. Thanks for the great reaction, I enjoyed what both of you had to say.
An incredible character study of three men facing their fears and insecurities disguised as a killer shark movie.
Brody's fear of the water tanked.
Hooper learned you must dive in if you want to get ahead.
Quint discovered he was only half the man he thought he was.
On a side note, Mayor Vaughn really anchored the scene on the ferry.
17:40.....The man playing the reporter is Peter Benchley, who wrote the novel that this film is based on.
This movie shut down the beaches in South Florida. Nobody went to the beach for quite a while. Beachfront stores along A1A closed up. I was 8 and lived in Coral Springs, Fla. at the time.
Although it was a long, arduous task filming, the fact it was done on the ocean instead of a water tank in Hollywood adds so much to the movie.
I grew up in Massachusetts in the 70s. A friend's dad was one of the cops in that boat.
Chief wants a bigger boat .... Chandra wants the dynamite!
Great reaction guys. Two thumbs up!
Another great movie of that era, is 'Duel' from 1971, by an then unknown director by the name Steven Spielberg.
some of the shots of the underwater cage scenes were with a real shark and a midget stuntman who was bitten quite badly...survived...my seventh grade science classroom had some stills of it on the wall
Just over 300 of the 1200 sailors from the USS Indianapolis survived. The sailors who abandoned ship fell prey to what amounted to a feeding frenzy of whitetip sharks.
While Jaws is a fine example of : “less is more”, in that you didn’t see much of the shark 🦈, the main reason is because the mechanical shark kept breaking down. All you see of the shark, is every bit of “usable footage” they had. It was a good lesson for Spielberg and thanks to the suspense he created by NOT showing the shark, basically gave him Carte blanc to his career. With the exception of 1941, all of Spielberg movies were hits.
Masterpiece, I didn't even want go in the pool when I was a kid.
Fun reaction guys! This still has two of my favourite jumpscares of all time. G’day from Australia 🎉🙌🏻
Jaws the novel is a great read. Peter Benchley the author plays the reporter on the beach. He was on set as an advisor though after Spielberg and screenwriter Carl Gottlieb made many changes to the storyline(including leaving out the mayor's tied with the mob, Hooper and Lorraine Brody having an affair, and the final climactic scenes) that he vehemently disagreed with that they asked him to leave.
I saw this movie in the theaters when I was 8 years old. I still hate the fact that I was taken to see it by adults who didn't think how traumatizing it would be, because I'm terrified of swimming in any water past my knees (even swimming pools) to this day.
Wow, I check my subscriptions....you guys are doing this and someone else just posted a Close Encounters reaction (Spielberg's next - and in my opinion best movie!). This is great, going to have a Spielberg double feature, my two fave movies of his! DEFINITELY do "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"!!!! He did Jaws, and then followed it up with another huge blockbuster and that's what cemented his career forevermore. "Close Encounters" is about UFO sightings, mind blowing and totally one-of-a-kind. Came out the same year as Star Wars, and it blew my 8 year old mind more than Star Wars ever did (and still does). Ok, first: your reaction to Jaws!!!!
Most of the background characters are actual locals who were recruited for authenticity.
I first saw this when I was 7 or 8 and it is a significant reason as to why I’m still scared of the ocean to this day.
I think the most famous line from any movie comes from this! We need a bigger boat! I still use it at times. It was even a trivial pursuit question
That summer a huge number of people refused to go into the ocean out of fear.
An early example of the Internet
I have a question will you watch Alien 3? I waiting so long for this movie on your channel and im sure you will like this movie.🙏
21:42 The "SMG" he's referring to is a submarine spear gun.
Why don't you go in the water?
Says the guy wearing a full suit on the beach. 😂
In the Novel, if I remember right, the Mayor was getting pressure from the Mob.
My dad, brother, and I saw Jaws when it came out. I was 12. My brother was 13. My brother was looking down at his popcorn, and he looked up just as the head appeared in the hole. Popcorn went everywhere.
Speaking of "baby jaws", I was on a scuba dive in Bali many many years ago, it was a new area I'd not been before with lots of table coral and there under one of the bigger ones - 4 juvenile reef sharks (I think they were black tips, maybe white - both are common) just chilling out (sharks tend to be more nocturnal, especially on the reefs). They are fascinating creatures and so immensely important to the balance of life in the ocean and the hate & fear that this movie generated against them is something that even Spielberg has come out saying he deeply regretted contributing to. Yes big scary will-eat-you-just-because sharks do exist, but they are so extremely very rare; and those people that study sharks and are with them all day long say they exhibit many of the same behaviors as dogs.
Much of Martha’s Vinyard where Jaws was filmed remains the same as it did in 1975. The shark you see the fisherman bring back fate being out fishing was a Tiger Shark that was caught off the coast of Florida before being preserved and sent to the Jaws movie set. The large set of Jaws, with men standing in front and or inside of, in the shark book Chief Brody was looking at was a representation of what scientists believe the jaws of The Prehistoric Carcharodon Megalodon which was believed to grow to lengths of at least 60 to 70ft, in some rare instances maybe reaching as much 80 to 82 ft long, and weighing anywhere from 50 to 70 tons.
Jaws for years made sharks one the most feared animals in the world at one causing the Jaws novel author Peter Benchley a lot of regret for representing sharks as mindless killing machines through the use and representation of a rogue killer great white in his book and subsequently in Steven Spielberg’s movie based on his, Benchley’s book. Over time the perception of sharks has change as sharks have become more understood and appreciated for the magnificent animals and predators that they are. Shark attacks today are generally considered to be acts of investigation and or mistaken identity rather than deliberate attacks or acts of feeding. Humans floating in the ocean may from a sharks perspective often look like a natural prey item. Because sharks teeth can do so much damage to human flesh, even with just an investigative bite, humans often suffer horrific injury and or in some cases death do the massive blood loss and shock of being bitten which can cause or led to quick or rapid onset of cardiac arrest.
If you are interested on learning more about the movie Jaws, 2 documentaries you can find on TH-cam which will provide great insight and understanding about the main characters are “Jaws- Making A Fake Shark Believable” and “Jaws - The Shark Is Still Working”. There is also a basic Jaws behind the scenes or making of movie documentary. The first documentary I mentioned “Making A Fake Shark Believable” focuses on the t3 main Characters, Brody, Hooper, and Quint, as well as the technology challenges of getting audiences to believe that a fake shark is real. The second documentary The Shark Is Still working is a very in-depth look at not only the making of Jaws but also its legacy and impact on not only sharks but movie making and entertainment in general.
There are a total of 4 Jaws films, the original and 3 sequels. I think the 2 jaws film was originally supposed to be the only sequel. Money and continuing to try to capitalize on the Jaws phenomenon were the driving forces behind the Jaws 3 and Jaws 4 leading to them not being anywhere near as successful or near outright failures.
You jumped the same place I did in 1975 in the theater when Ben Gardner's head popped out of that hole. My candy went flying lol
Hahaha omg I bet! That scene scared me so good!
So you've now seen Alien and Jaws. It may not seem like it, but both movies only had the creature visible for about 4 minutes of the entire movie. Both doing an incredible job when it comes to building suspense and it just blows my mind what directors can do to build the tension in movies. The shark was only present when you heard his theme music as well. Plus, this movie is one of the main reasons sharks have such a bad reputation when it comes to their threat to humans.
Edit: Sharks actually can tell a difference between human and fish blood and our blood doesn't attract them like you would think. "Shark Attack Test- Human Blood vs. Fish Blood" by Mark Rober 101M views.
When I was young my family was at a beach. I think it was Daytona or Panama City and I found a shark’s tooth that was over 3 inches long! I wish I still had it but after ;0 some years and a lot of moving around as a military family, it was lost somewhere along the way!
“It’s almost worse hearing him describe it than hearing it” you guys should watch Se7en
And the best monologue is the drunken one where they were comparing scars! The story of the Indianapolis and it’s a story that actually happened! Terrible thing that happened to those poor sailors
TO THE WHOLE WORLD...
STEVEN SPIELBERG CREATED A SHARK MASTERPIECE THAT WIL L "NEVER" "EVER" BE BETTERED.
There's a 70s movie worth seeing called Star something. It has a bunch of sequels that are pretty good.
I saw this when it came out and people were blown away. It's considered to be the first Summer Blockbuster.
Steven freaking Spielberg.
16:23 this entire scene here refrences to the actual shark case that happened jaws is based off from.
Great reaction! My favourite film, I just subscribed and look forward to more, my fellow Canadians
I definitely did not swim in the ocean for a year after that movie. Yes, I'm that old.
The jaws in the book that showed the 6 men standing inside were the jaws of a Megalodon.
Poor shark.. he was just out looking for some food.. RIP Bitey Boi 😭😔
Hooper: "He's a night feeder."
Hooper: "We're right in the stretch where he's been feeding."
Hooper: "Don't worry, Martin. Nothing's gonna happen."
OK, Mr. Hooper, WHY are you going into the water, AT NIGHT, where the shark - a NIGHT FEEDER - has been feeding?
Hooper is a bit arrogant.
@@RetroRobotRadio ... In the novel, he's worse!
Absolutely nobody will do a reaction to Spielberg's previous film, 1974's "The Sugarland Express." Excellent movie, virtually forgotten today. I'd love to see a reaction to that. Meanwhile, great reaction to Jaws!!
More great Richard Dreyfuss ;
Stakeout - Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez - great 80s thriller with some really funny moments
What About Bob - comedy about hypochondriac Bill Murray intruding on his psychiatrist Dreyfuss' family vacation
And the most underrated gem - Trigger Happy/ Mad Dog Time - Mobster Vic (Dreyfuss) is getting out of the "funny farm" . Unfortunately his trigger man Jeff Goldblum has been sleeping with his wife Diane Lane, (Kyle McLauglin) Jake wants to muscle in on his territory with his hitman Burt Reynolds, Vic's #1 Gabriel Byrne is frantically trying to hold it all together along with Ellen Barkin, Billy Idol and the last performance from Richard Pryor before his sad death.
Sharks in deep water have had touching relationships with humans. They are very maligned and misunderstood - look up "Woman Has Removed Over 300 Hooks From Sharks' Mouths" and "Wild Shark Recognizes Human Best Friend After They Were Separated For A Year"
Jaws is scarier to me than the slasher films because while I know that Freddy Kreuger doesn't really exist I also know for a fact that sharks do.
I remember reading this book before the movie came out. I've read a lot of Stephen King books and such, but it was the scariest book I ever read
just for fun check out the documentary " Sharksploitation" which showcases how far shark movies have gone as in Sharkenstein , Sharkula , Sharktopus , Sharknado , etc... it's a hoot.
Most shark attacks happen in less than 5 feet of water. So yeah, it doesn't need to be deep at all. :)
So many good 70s Movies, but if I had to pick one that depicted the real life grit of New York City in that time it would be "The French Connection".
watching people react to this movie now makes me question some of my Mom's parenting choices....
She and my aunt took my brother and I when I was 8 and he was 5; at a Drive In in San Diego. I remember being terrified of the water for years and years - baths were OFF the menu completely.
To this day I still torture my brother with the signature Jaws theme music.... he truly hates it even at 53!
🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
Jaws was rated PG. Spielberg was pushing the envelope from Day One.
Yes, orcas do fight with sharks, and often win.
Loved your Reaction.
One thing, and 99% of “Reactors” do this so I’m not “Calling you Out”
But 99% of reactors watch movies WITH THE LIGHTS ON
When you go to the Movie Theatre, the theaters turn off the lights as it really makes things on the screen POP
*NOW*
For Comedies or Drama/Romance it’s not really that important
*BUT*
For Horror/Suspense Thrillers
Watching a Movie in the Dark is a
*MUST*
If you don’t have Night Vision Cameras that is ok but you can test things out a bit while recording say a day time scene and a night time scene in a TV show or Movie do that you can have “Minimal Lighting”
Enough do that your viewers can clearly see your Facial Reactions but the room you are in is Dark maybe minimal back lighting.
The Goal is to Simulate the “Movie Going Experience”
A lot of people are “Afraid of the Dark”
Because much like when swimming in a lake or the Ocean, if something is “Coming for You”
You won’t see it until it’s
*GOT YOU!*
Horror movies are All About Atmosphere
Which can not to truly appreciated in a Well Lit Room.
Envelope Yourselves in Darkness to Fully Experience what the Director was trying to achieve.
I was born in the 70's and got my horror at a very young age in the 80's. It would be the 90's before is understood Alien and Terminator as sci-fi. Those were just horror movies to me. 70's and 80's horror was just different. Same with sci-fi. When you're young, monsters are horror. Doesn't really matter the setting. The Fly and The Things was 100% horror to me. Now i see it as more of a sci-fi thing. I guess horror just meant so much more as a kid.
You should look into how the shark was constructed. There is a documentary made of it.
I believe Quint had kinda have gotten a captain Ahab type mentality toward sharks which is went led to him destroying the radio and while coming back in, eventually pushing the boat to far in trying to kill the shark. The second one is good. A good follow up to this one in trying to keep the same tension and suspense. Some of the deaths in that one are even more brutal than this film. the 3rd one is interesting and I wouldn't even watch the 4th one.
Michael wanted coffee flavored Ice Cream.
Everyone gets the Mayor's motivation wrong. He isn't greedy. He was trying to keep the city's people, all of whom depend on making enough money in the summer to last a year, from going bankrupt. And yes, he was wrong, but he really was trying to do his best for the town. 24 hrs really is like two weeks in a tourist town.
I also think the Mayor was suffering from denial. He really wanted to believe these were freak accidents and the cause wasnt permanent. It was only when he could no longer kid himself that he understood.
The Mayor isn't like the flat, one dimensional villians we see in movies today. He's not evil. He is misguided but this results in evil.
Hi, it's Chris from Germany! Love to share watching movies with you!! So, if you have loved to watch "Jaws", you have to watch "Jaws 2" (with the wellknown cast from the first "Jaws" - of course except the already killed charakters)!! All the later shot sequels are almost all crap. The original second one is a really, really "must see"-movie. All the BEST to you and THANKS A LOT for all the fun.... Yours, Chris
Now that you’ve seen it I’m not spoiling anything: Quint is Latin for 5. He was the fifth victim.
This is the movie that scared a whole generation out of the water
Great channel! She looks like Julia Stiles .. big fan of you guys! Keep up the great work! You guys gotta react to Sopranos!
This is GREAT! Subbed. (Edit: NM. Already subbed for some reason... LOL.)
The young lady reminds me of a young Julia styles
Ah, yes, I see it now. Good call.
A great movie. Some of the best scenes are on land.
Great job, guys! 😁👍
Birth of the summer blockbuster.
Great mustache, Jordan!
28:28 It's even more insane when you learn that that is indeed what happened to the USS Indianapolis and her crew. True horror.
Oh no way!!
@@maplenutsreactJuly 30, 1945 the U.S. Heavy Cruiser USS Indianapolis was sunk after being hit with 2 torpedoes from the Japanese submarine I -58. Out of nearly 1,300 crew around 900 went into the water. Out of those 900 only 316 survived, a large portion of the those that went into the water became victims of attacks by sharks
@@maplenutsreact It's actually much. much worse. Most of the survivors' accounts were not made public until many years after the film. In short, some men lost their minds after several days in the water and there was murder, cannibalism, and sexual assault. Most men died of dehydration and exposure, and the physical condition of those who were rescued was horrific.
Quint's version is about 70% true, but never let the truth get in the way of a great monologue ! ;)
@@maplenutsreactyep. Mainly true.
Jaws is one of the greatest films ever made. Fact
yep. personal choice of course. I don't like 'Citizen Kane' or '2001 ' 2 all timer' on many lists. boring.
@@rickc661 Boring for slow people, maybe.
Cinematic storytelling of the highest order. The fact that this was shot in the open waters of the North Atlantic still blows my mind.
@@bassage13 You actually think that the only reason someone could find Citizen Kane or 2001 boring, is that they lack intelligence? Weird how everyone says it's subjective, until they hear that someone doesn't like one of the so-called classics. Intelligent people know why they like and dislike things, and know that the things they like and dislike, have ZERO to do with intelligence. The only dumbasses, are the ones who force themselves to sit through movies they don't actually like, just 'cus that's what they think smart people watch. Usually black and white, usually remarkably boring, often subtitled and foreign, usually pretentious, always boring as all get-out.
when two demographics with almost guaranteed plot armor -- kids and pets -- get viciously munched onscreen, the director's telling you nobody's safe.
Technically it's off-screen but I get what you're saying.
@@protonaccount2811 Spielberg never disappoints
Just wrap your head around the fact that Steven Spielberg was 25-26 when he directed this. The greatest movie ever made.
Not better than The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. 😊
Lol, my two favorite movies
@@african-history-fountainjaws is better I’d say but both are great. Unfortunately neither are as good as The Godfather.
One of the things I love in 'Jaws' reactions is that head in Ben Gardner's boat, nearly 50 years later, still terrifying people (with a 100% success rate so far :). Surely one of the best jump scares in cinema.
(that and basically everyone being mesmerised by Robert Shaw's delivery of Quint's USS Indianapolis monologue - the horror elements are great but it's the character moments that, for all its very 70s setting, really make this a pretty much timeless classic IMO)
We seat behind girls after seeing the movie a few times. And when that scene come up. We spoofed them out of their wits. They jumped out of the seats..It was hilarious..Best memories of 1975...
Almost every reactor also is jaw dropping-ly surprised that they would show the Kintner child being killed like that. It pushes everyone's expectations to a new level.
Speilberg re-shot that the Ben Gardner head scene after screening the movie. He felt the timing wasn't right. He wanted a little delay before the head showed itself. He nailed it the second time.
@@hudahekizzy8402 Not to get too deep, but if (big IF) done well, it is *possibly* acceptable to show children in situations like this. Otherwise, it's pretty much going to be really offensive, or a sign of really cheap movie-making.
@@phila3884 I'm not the person to judge. I have always had a super easy time separating fantasy from reality so few things on screen bother me. Gratuitous suffering of the innocents isn't appreciated for sure but for me it's more of an eye rolling disappointment at what seems to be going for low hanging fruit than it is a matter of being offensive. This case was important to the plot as it added to Brodie's struggle with the Mayor and his feelings of guilt and helplessness. It also re-enforced the possible dangers to his own kids.
Jaws 2 is decent, 3 and 4 are terrible.
I completely agree....Jaws 2 is underrated IMO....I say only watch 3 of you're going to watch it in 3-D, otherwise pass on it. Jaws: The Revenge is one of the worst films of all time & shameless cash grab. Ugh 😝.
All the sequels are crappy.
@@MLJ7956I don’t count Jaws 3 as a part of the Jaws saga. It had nothing to do with the story at all They should’ve named it Fake Jaws or Jaws Wannabe.
Jaws 2 is well worth a watch. Some memorable moments worth seeing. Don't bother with 3 and 4.
4 is actually hilarious
17:36 Fun Fact: This newscaster is none other than Peter Benchley, the guy who WROTE the novel, "Jaws".
And Spielberg kicked him off the set for being a difficult person to work with!
@@michaelserot6844 Agree. RIP to Peter Benchley but the dude was a douche. Benchley's version had a lot of weird choices like an affair subplot. He had the gall to be upset about the changes the movie made. It's no surprise none of his other books were as successful.
@@protonaccount2811 The movie is clearly better than the novel. Same with The Godfather. Difference there was that Coppola always held great regard for the original IP and he and Mario Puzo wrote the screenplay together. Benchley was after more "realism" but Spielberg was rightly after more movie magic and the later was right.
@@protonaccount2811 The original book is not "a version." It's the source material with the film simply an adaptation. Benchley was a successful writer.
@@protonaccount2811 Your way of saying things is really weird--like revision of reality.
20:39 He wants coffee flavored ice cream. Which is delicious!
I'm sure it's delicious, but no, he wants coffee. just coffee
@@torpedoboy4 Why wouldn't he be able to get coffee in a hospital? No he wants coffee flavored ice cream.
Yeah, Coffee ice-cream was my favorite at that age too. You can usually find it in most ice-cream shops but I seldom see it in grocery stores anymore
@@Lethgar_Smith Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream is excellent.
Yes! New England staple 😋☕️🍦
“It feels like no one’s an actor.” 💯 agree.
And no one LOOKS like an actor, which is my biggest gripe with a lot of movies these days.
@@ScientificallyStupid There were lots of locals in this movie, including the Kintner boy who got eaten by the shark.
Most of the background characters are actual locals who were recruited for authenticity.
A lot of local people were hired as extras
You’re gonna need a bigger like button
Hahaha oh you ❤
My favorite quote: "The mayor from Jaws is still the mayor in Jaws 2. It is so important to vote in your local elections."
I vote Vaughn. He’ll keep those beaches open.
