Jaws: When a young woman is killed by a shark while skinny-dipping near the New England tourist town of Amity Island, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist revenue will cripple the town. Ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and grizzled ship captain Quint (Robert Shaw) offer to help Brody capture the killer beast, and the trio engage in an epic battle of man vs. nature.

One thing I learned about movies, better technology does not replace natural talent of directors, writers, and actors/actresses.
Great job too - keep them coming!
This movie deserves the highest honour in cinema history because it started the summer blockbuster crave.
His son did the right thing by staying still, Sharks rely on movement to sense prey, so him not scrambling for the boat probably saved him.
The boy was in shock. That's why he didn't move. You would be in shock too if a huge shark swam right past you after eating someone a couple of yards in front of you .
@@irenegorka1894 Totally agree, was just saying that's what saved his life.
The shark had already fed. While movement is certainly a means of attracting sharks, its predominantly smell. And sharks do have great eyesight as well.
Quint's death got to me too. As a kid it was shocking and horrifying, I was 11. Scarred me for LIFE. Later on, as an adult, I realized how very sad that he had survived the Indianapolis only to die like this later on.
Same
Seen it when I was six ! Scared to swim after that lol
@@rtarita529Six? Wow that's crazy young. Dunno if I would have recovered. 😬
What's more grim is that Quint foreshadows his own death in his first scene. 'A little shakin', a little tenderisin'... Down you go'
Same here, about Quinn's death.
Decades ago I was waitressing at a diner and served the same older men as regulars.
One regular, who always sat apart from the other regulars, wore his "US Navy" Veteran's hat. He had a newer ball-cap one day and it said "USS Indianapolis" on it.
I paid attention to *all the words* he had to say, after noticing his hat.
While I didn't know the official history of the "Indy" back in the 1990s (pre-Google), however, I was *very* aware of Quint's monologue from "JAWS" about being a survivor of the Indianapolis tragedy.
That regular from my Diner days, has been passed away for some time now. It's really eye opening, to learn about the skinking today now that de-classified documents have been released.
the thing i LOVE about Chrissy's death in the beginning... is the second she's taken under water, it's "dead" calm and quiet with NO trace of the violence that just happened.
It’s a quiet creepy, too. :)
Yeah I always thought that was very interesting as she died alone with pure silence afterwards of no one hearing what happened no trace nothing as if her body hadn’t of came up to shore the boy at the beach probs would have thought she just left or she went missing not Brody finding out about the shark
Her crying out for God's help before being taken under to her death was what got me. There's also one part where she's leaned over in the direction she was being dragged that made her look like a doll. This was a very strong sequence in a brilliantly directed and acted movie. Props to Carl Gottlieb for writing the screen adaptation that also reduced the size of his role as Harry Meadows (who had a significantly larger role in the novel).
@@bighuge1060 like I know the actress while filming actually was in quite of a bit of pain from the machine they used so alot of those screams are real
That's how it would have happened.
The shark in Jaws is ten feet smaller than the largest Great White found, in Australia at 36 feet in 1870. The story about the USS Indianapolis is true. The shooting star in the film is real and pure happenstance but Spielberg was so impressed with it that he made it a signature shot in all his films. At the time the film was made many experts said a Great White could not leap out of the water and so it was fantastical; a few years later Nature film crews filmed Great Whites leaping out of the water to take seals. Jaws started the Film trend of Summer Blockbusters.
"The jaws from this shark are held at the British Museum of Natural History in London and were examined separately by shark experts Dr Perry Gilbert (Cornell University, New York State) and Dr John Randall (Bishop Museum, Hawaii), both of whom published their assessments in 1973. After measuring the jaws and teeth, Gilbert estimated the shark was closer to 5 meters (16 ½ feet) and Randall estimated it was around 5.4 metres (17 ½ feet) - approximately half the length originally claimed.
Gilbert very politely put the discrepancy down to a typographical error and Randall agreed:
Although these jaws are impressive, they do not approach the size one would expect for a shark 36.5 feet long. It is possible that a mistake might have been made in recording the shark’s length. P. W. Gilbert independently examined the jaws, and he has suggested that there might have been a printer’s error; the length should perhaps have been 16.5 feet"
Sorry mate, no world record there.
Mikmuk,
The Seven Star Lake great white was over 20 ft. It was 7 metres. Other evidence indicates great whites can grow over 20ft such as bite marks measured by Colin Ostle of the Western Australian Sept of Fisheries, and the bite mark and tooth fragment from the Jack Rochette attack.
The Submarine was circa 23/24ft.
Biggest 'recorded', ie measured by a scientist, doesn't mean the biggest ever.
Cheers.
My favorite movie quotes of all time: "You're gonna need a bigger boat" and "Smile, you son of a bitch!" Great review, glad you liked it! Take care, be safe!
Bro I'm so glad you chose this masterpiece of a film to react to. New generations should be able to see this classic masterpiece that is Jaws.
Great reaction to one of my favorite movies. :)
FYI, the barrels float and they're meant to slow the fish down and stop it from being able to stay underwater. It was supposed to get exhausted from the extra drag of the barrels. The shark is a super-fish because it could submerge even with three barrels attached. That's when even Quint started to get scared.
Also, the shooting stars in some of the shots were happy accidents of nature. They just happened during filming on location on the water.
This movie was the first summer blockbuster, and it invented the jump scare. I saw it as a kid when it came out, and when the dead man's head popped out of the hole in the boat, man, popcorn and soda went flying all over the theater. It was great.
Also, Jaws is inspired by a true story from 1916 when a shark swam up a river in New Jersey and killed several people over a summer. It was probably a bull shark, which is a dangerous species than can live in both salt and fresh water, but it was kind of a horror-story legend. The author of the original novel, Peter Benchley, used that story and a lot of real science about shark behavior, but his story and the movie triggered an anti-shark panic. Benchley regretted that and put a lot of work into spreading public education about what sharks are really like.
By the way, re what you said about how deep the ocean is - don't think not being in the depths will save you. Great white sharks, like the one in this story, actually do jump right out of the water to catch prey. Scientists recently caught that on video in Australia or South Africa, I think, and the whole world was like "haha, nope." I think they mostly do it when hunting seals because they come up fast from below to grab the prey and break into the air from momentum, but they do seem to practice doing it.
I like the shooting star shot.
Adds atmosphere.
The tranquility of a starry sky interrupted by the chaotic nature of a shooting star.
It mirrors the tranquility of the ocean being interrupted by this large shark.
There were many jump scares before this film but it certainly popularised it
Great reaction! The jump scare, Quint’s death and when Brody blew up the shark - your reactions were real and showed how into it you were. This is one of the great movies ever made, and I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I think the whole cast was PERFECTLY CAST for this film. Most especially the three main characters. 😍
I remember being a 10 year old kid on vacation at Kings Island (Ohio) and our family went to a local theater to see this movie one evening. Packed house and plenty of shrieks and screams. Great times.
this was the ORIGINAL summer blockbuster!!! people were terrified to go into the water after this. your reaction was the BEST ive ever seen for this movie. 🤗😉
Hey man! I was a little kid when this came out and I CLEARLY remember that news coverage of this movie was pretty alarmist and I remember my parents and our neighbors whispering about how terrifying it was and how kids shouldn't be allowed to see it. It was a big deal once the word got out about how terrifying it was....LOTS of people were totally freaked out by it and vowed never to go in the ocean again.
Most famous line from this movie
"We're gonna need a bigger boat"
Being out in the ocean is definitely a humbling experience. I went out on a whale-watching tour off the Pacific coast of Baja about 10 years ago, and we had baby whales coming right up next to the boat and letting us touch them while their parents swam around us. It was very cool, but I can't deny that seeing a huge dark blot passing under the boat that could've capsized us no problem made my heart skip a beat XD
Should go without saying, but this movie (and the book it's based on) is very much a work of fiction. In reality, the majority of "shark attacks" are a shark just taking a bite of something that looks edible and then leaving when it doesn't taste right. It's just an animal doing its thing, and humans are the ones trespassing in their homes when we go out into the water.
Jaws is one of my favorite movies. I just love the interactions between the 3 characters on the boat. Another great movie to watch with Richard Dreyfuss (Hooper in Jaws) and directed by Spielberg is Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Highly recommend.
I loved your indignation at the messed up thinking and crazy priorities of the mayor and council members. Great reaction!
Excellent reaction. Really enjoyed that.
Just as an aside Quint was partly based on real life Long Island shark fisherman Frank Mundus. In 1964 Mundus caught a 17.5ft 4,500 pound great white off Montauk using the harpoon and barrel method. This method was quite widely used in those days. Yes the barrels act as a drag and keep the shark near the surface as well as tiring it out.
Cheers.
My father brought me and a friend to see this in 1975. We were 9 years old. This is before PG13, and it was only rated PG and not R. This movie scarred me for a while about going in the ocean. We spent a week every summer on Cape Cod and I did not go in the ocean past my ankles for a couple summers.
I turned 11 years old the summer of '75. No one was trying to get in the water that summer after seeing that film. I believe the movie's promo was "Don't Go In The Water". We Did Not! 😂
Enjoyed your reaction. One of my all time fave movies. My mom used to rag me on how many times I'd watched it and continued to watch it whenever it came on tv.
I am sure for time sake you had to cut it out, but the scene at night on the boat, where the 3 of them are rocking, sitting around table, light swinging with the water, and he tells the story of his time in the Navy. It is masterclass of how to create tension. No effects. Nothing. Just 3 guys in a small set piece, creating a moment of impending doom. One of the greatest scenes of tension in any film or tv ever
The resurgence of reactors to this movie made me look deeper into it. There are several deleted scenes that show more of Quint, and one that shows the death of the boat instructor that was deemed too HORRIFIC to show. I am so glad it was NOT shown, I can not imagine what it would have done to little me.
16:00 "You better swim faster than that. You better be Michael Phelpsing it". 🤣
Oh man I love your reactions to this movie they were so genuine!
For the record, that dude's head popping out of that hole in the boat was the first jump scare of my life. Glad to see it got you too!
Then the following year another jump scare scene came from the end of "Carrie."
LOL I was 14 when I saw this in the theaters. That jumpscare was one of the worst of my life LOL. There were people who almost fainted and some who did LOL. The whole place screamed.
@@zeppelinfan9360 yeah I remember that one too. That was a bad one. I was 15.
There’s a documentary called The shark is still working and the daughter of the man who played Ben Gardner (the one who’s head we see) talked about how her father was basically the Quint of the island, telling wild stories and had quite a character to him.
Also the man’s wife made a joke about someone finally finding use for the man’s “empty” head
I was 11. My popcorn and soda went everywhere. So did everyone's who had any. This movie gave me nightmares and a horrifying fascination with sharks for decades.
“You could see through someone’s soul with those glasses” Nice!
Dude, you're such an Empath, which makes you a perfect reactor. I'm one too so watching you react to Quints death was physically painful for me. But worth it
It's amazing how much you empathized with the sequence of the shark eating Quint. This film gave my generation a good deal of anxiety from that summer on beaches 😉👍
“She got ate up yo, 👀, she got ate up” 😂🤝😂
I agree GREAT movie. Kind of a combo of horror and adventure with an emphasis on the adventure part with interesting characters. A lot of people became more fearful of the water after seeing this in the theatres. And brought an interest in sharks that has never really gone away. No Jaws no shark week. Really enjoyed watching with you!
best line in movie history lol
Quint’s monologue about the Indianapolis is so so good. I have such a crush on him, don’t tell anyone!
@Michael Shaughnessy oh my god YOURE RIGHT. Quint should get a spin-off prequel
@Michael Shaughnessy Here’s to swimmin’ with bow legged wimmin 😘
Quint enjoys EVERY second of winding up Mrs Chief. 😂 Fobbing her off over the radio and making her anxiety 100 times worse. 😊
Nice to see that you enjoyed the film for the first time! 🦈
Good choice on this one. It had a significant impact on the culture when it came to swimming in the ocean.
I’ll throw a humble suggestion out there for a slightly older movie but is still an often forgotten gem. Reign of Fire(if you haven’t seen it).
Got it just wrote it down to react to it
@@MajorReacts Reign of Fire is good. And dragons!
Movie scared the hell out of me as a kid. I had trouble swimming in a pool after this one 😂
I was a kid when this movie Came out and I wouldn't even go swimming in the river for the entire summer !
My mama screamed bloody murder in the theater when the head popped out. The laugh I got from embarrassment helped me get through the movie (I was 7 and still can't believe they took me with them to see this movie!).
The barrels are filled with air. They keep the shark from diving too deep and allow the men on the boat to track roughly where the shark is.
Jaws....
As a child, I was traumatized. As an adult I am amazed by and appreciative of the quality of the acting, the writing and everything that went into making it the masterpiece that it is.
the part where the boys mom comes in her funeral clothes use to be my favorite part as a kid! idk why I just loved the real human emotion of loss behind the thriller story! great reaction, also if you like shark films Deep Blue Sea is a must, and 47 meters down uncaged is pretty cool
Deep Blue Sea was great, frfr
47 Meters Down which was the first movie was more intense to me than the second one 47 Meters Down Uncaged.
"That mug just roaming around down there, Hmm,who thighs look the fattest"! I fuckin lost it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the best thrillers of all time.
Jaws was the first blockbuster. The line at my theater was 2 blocks long.
13:24 See that's where you have Sir Mix a Lot to thank. Ever since he released his "Baby got back" song, it was like a middle finger to the media who body shamed thick women. Sir Mix a lot and his song embraced women with big booties and that's why we have them today, so you have him to thank for that👍
First of all yours was an amazing reaction, you've won me as a subscriber, i'll be sure to check out more of your stuff.
I've seen dozens of reactions to this movie and everyone including everyone i know who has seen it has jumped at that scare with the dead guys head (Ben Gardener) in the shipwreck, your jump was the best i've seen. I could see in your face how upset you were when Quint was eaten, that's great you were so invested in it. I was born in 1980, i first saw this movie when i was 5. It's my 8th favourite movie of all time. Maybe because of when i was born but personally (just in my opinion) i think the 70's and 80's were the best decades for movies. I know there have been some good once since then, and believe me there have been plenty of great pre-70's movies too, you were right too, this was made in 1975.
I appreciate the support Jon thank you for coming along this journey with me
4:53 - LOL mate, that look you gave the camera was like... 😏
Moby Dick with Captain Ahab, Old Man and the Sea, and Predator(s) all wrapped up. I adore this film.
23:37 The moment I was waiting for!!
i'm happy to say i've had the privilege to go on the original Jaws Ride in 97 Florida before it was taken down' it was a classic ride.
What a shocker, you’re scared of water! 😂 who would have thunk it!!! 😅
Suspense horror adventure comedy buddy movie. Much of each flavor provided by the greatest film score of all time.
I was ticked off too when Quint bit it. He was the one with the know-how. You should go back and look at your face when Quint was scraping the blackboard! The barrels weren't heavy; they were filled with air, for the purpose of wearing the shark out, pulling it up toward the surface. You're a kick to watch!
The original and the BEST 💯🌟💯🌟💯🌟🥇🦈
Awesome reaction bro! 👍🏿
I'm so glad to see your channel growing the way it has been! I came here for the GoT, but I'll be here long after. Your reactions are so fun, definitely my favorite reactor on TH-cam! Cant wait to see where you go from here!
1. Goof: Chrissie's body parts are too far up the beach to have been washed up there without a storm.
2. Boy Scouts don't need to do the mile swim to get their Merit badge. It's an accomplishment all it's 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.
5. IRL Dreyfuss and Shaw didn't get along so Spielberg used the animosity to fuel their feud onscreen.
6. Hooper was right. The fish that hit the line was a game fish.
7. "You're gonna need a bigger boat" is one of the greatest adlibs in history. It was the first time Roy actually saw Bruce.
8. Goof: An animal that large couldn't hit the side of the boat as rapidly as it did UNDER WATER.
9. I suspect Quint's story about the Indy gave him PTSD flashbacks and contributed to his behavior after he told the story.
10. I was in the Navy and we were instructed to go for the eyes when confronting a shark.
11. In the book not only does Hooper die in the cage but he was also having an affair with Mrs. Brody.
12. JAWS II is the only other one worth watching. It revolves around the Brody kids and their friends. Including one of the mayors kids.
"smile you sonofa-"*BAM!* "WOOOOOOOO!" Best reaction only wish I could've seen you react to the uss Indianapolis scene.that. was a whole horror story on its own, and a real story in history... Meaning his character actually lived through those events.
Great reaction! 👍 from Spain.
Your comments and reactions were spot-on! Great review on your part! and now a sybscriber.
Close Encounters of the third kind
34:47 -- The shooting star has become a director trademark of Stephen Spielberg ever since Jaws.. In EVERY movie he's done since, there's always been one somewhere.. It's like his good luck charm.
I find Jaws more prevalent a film for people to watch these days because it teaches a valuable lesson. Only way to deal with a problem is to recognize you have one, other wise the problem gonna get ya.
Loved the reaction to Quinn getting eaten. Mine exactly. hahaha
Blockbuster
This is a great stand-alone movie. The sequels suck. Great reaction.
my 5 yr old daughter loves this movie. she picked it out last night to watch. lol. we have it on dvd. she has a jaws shirt.
That look you had when the pier went down and the fishermen’s went in the water. Like, REALLY??? Funny.
You are way too emotional. I love it. Likes,likes, and likes 😊
The story about the ship going down and everyone in the water fighting off sharks for hours still gives me nightmares sometimes.
Thanks for sharing your first viewing of Jaws with us.
The sequels get worse over time but part 2 is ok
34:39 -- the barrels are full of air. The idea is to tire the shark out from dragging them and he has to stay near the surface because he can't go under too deep with them.. At least with a normal shark..
Because you really enjoyed this film, I’ve subscribed to you. I look forward to watching your other reactions. 😊
Most of the Indianapolis crew that died out there died from exposure and lack of sustenance. They were bobbing out in cold sea water for days and nights before being rescued; imagine going that long without food, water, desperately trying to stay afloat in freezing salt water. Only 150 were said to have been eaten alive by sharks like white tips and tigers.
Fun fact: the Japanese submarine I-58 (the sub that sank the Indianapolis) was found submerged after having been scuttled after the war; she landed stern first into the sea floor and remained upright like a flag pole.
The barrels are used to keep track as well as to wear the shark down. The more barrels the tougher it is for the shark to swim.
I recently saw your reaction in a compilation by ReactTV and enjoyed your excitement, so I had to look up your channel. Misery, The Fly and Silence of the Lambs are excellent. Someone already suggested Alien and Aliens. All are some of the best movies ever made. .... PEACE to ALL.
You have to see part 2 of jaws
And you can't prep yourself for that jump scare by listening to the score because the scare cheats the score and arrives early and unexpected.
I saw this when it opened at the shore after reading the novel and I was braced for the Chrissy Watkins body reveal; something extremely graphic and frightening in the novel. When it didn't materialize, I relaxed. Until that head popped out; something NOT in the novel.
Would love to see reactions to more classic movies, scary and otherwise. Like “Clue”, best murder mystery ever.
What a fun reaction! :)
Glad you enjoyed!
The "We're gonna need a bigger boat" line was improvised, such a great quote. ;)
Nice reaction bro, first time visitor. I'll sub up and see what else you've reacted to. Just so you know $3,000 in 1975 was equivalent to about $15,400 today. The 10,000 that Hooper demanded would equal to just over 50K today. So he wasn't cheap LOL.
Best Jaws reaction on TH-cam dude!
The Barrels serve a couple purposes. It makes it possible to find the Shark because in theory it's difficult for the Shark to drag the barrel below the surface. Also the barrels slow down and wear down the Shark making him more vulnerable Of course this Shark was so strong, even three barrels had no effect.
Great reaction as always brother💪💪💯🔥❤
Thanks 💯
@@MajorReacts also major I feel like after u finish with game of thrones, another good show I think you will enjoy is called see, it has jason momoa in it
Check out Spielberg’s first movie called Duel. Peace out. Great reaction dawg. ✌🏼😎
One of my favorites of all time! I especially liked Quint!
Hi, new sub here!! Just discovered your channel and love your reactions! Can't wait to binge everything lol
Gotta sub after this. Probably one of the best reactions I've ever seen to Jaws and I've seen a lot. This probably one of my favorite films. Now I don't know what you have already seen, but I've got a list a mile long for you. Really would love to see more reactions from you. Jaws 2 is pretty good, but stay away from 3.
I'm an old guy, and I saw this classic on the big screen when it came out. Can you imagine those jump scares in the movie theatre?
Soldier blue my friend. That will blow your mind
9:10 I truly appreciate that you didn't cut that part at all. The Soundtrack is such a build up. DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN this version is called ''empty raft'' it's my favorite of all the versions we hear in the movie.
Also i googled it and 3000$ in 1975 is worth 16 000$ nowadays. I kinda get it why they are so willing to do that.
I perfer The Shark Approaches, but Empty Raft is a runner up for me.
Now that you’ve seen Jaws, you should watch Airplane and Airplane 2. You have to watch the whole thing including all the credits. There’s comedy in credits as well.
Another great Spielberg movie is The Color Purple. A classic.
Best reaction ever💯
You're right.. Everyone dislikes Quint at first, but when you learn what he'd been through... Watching his friends and fellow sailors be savagely eaten... He grows on you. He was hard on Hooper because he was breaking him out of that wealthy college boy image... Robert Shaw (Quint) was also hard on Richard Dreyfuss (Hooper) on set because he was the "new kid" and Shaw knew he could be a better actor.
#MajorReacts Yes, that was actually a shooting star that they caught on camera purely by accident. No one actually seen it or noticed it when it happened, it was only when they were editing the film that they realized it. Pretty cool, huh?
Great reaction.
Greetings from Sweden.
