One of the rare examples of a film being better than the book it’s based on. The film’s ending was far superior and much more suspenseful than the book.
Absolutely...the book was dull compared to the film, but at the same time a proper film of the book could have been a great drama....just wouldn't wash with the 2 minute attention spans of you tubers, Instagramers or twitterers
Saw this in the theaters as a kid. I remember the line being around the corner. SO much tension during the entire film and the thunderous applause when Roy blew that shark up. The first real blockbuster I ever saw and still a classic!
This film nearly destroyed Spielberg's career, the true reason why he went so long over schedule is because they where having problems with the shark in salt water which is why it barley appears on screen much. Spielberg thought he would never direct a film again when he finished it and was surprised it did so well at the box office.
I saw it on the big screen when I was a kid. That movie scared the hell out of everyone. You can hear people screaming throughout the theater. It was a great movie. Still is.
Honestly I was about 7 when I saw this in the cinema and I had nightmares for weeks. Movies today just don't have the same effect as these classics. It was same with Alien it terrified me. Horrors today are just weak.
I saw this in the theater in 1975, it was an edge of your seat film but I didn't find it scary. Time magazine ran a two page article/review of sorts with the biggest topic being how often the sharks malfunctioned, they ran on compressed air, and there were 3 of them, one turned left, one turned right, and I don't recall what the third shark's "ability" was but they were a royal pain in the ass.
You have to remember for the 70’s this was never done before in movies… People literally left mentally not right after this movie thinking sharks are like this
@@1888gp fed with misinformation, sharks arent actually dangerous and most shark attacks happen because they will mistake you for seals. im not saying its okay for you to be swimming in a whole pool of sharks of course, the top 3 sharks i recommend avoiding are bull sharks, great whites, and tiger sharks.
I’ve never read anything about it. But was Quint suffering from survivors guilt, having seen his shipmates picked off by the sharks when his ship went down at the end of WWII? It almost seemed like he was trying to meet his end this way. But once he was staring at the shark, he knew he had made a terrible mistake? Idk, just thinking. This movie is still a true masterpiece, nearly a half century later.
BTW, Quint - The actor, his acts are very good when he got bitten . Looks at his face, his screams, his fights to survive as he is in the mouth of the shark. Very good acting !
Can you imagine how terrifying it must have been for Richard Dreyfuss(or maybe a stunt double) to be in dark water with that thing coming at him over and over?
@@kevinbejkoxdxd1514I dunno, seeing the robo shark would’ve been more freaky to me. In the murky dimly lit water it probably created the illusion of a 25 ft shark
Stunt man Dick Warlock was in the cage. His most famous role was playing Michael Myers's in Halloween 2 (1981). He was also a stunt double for Kurt Russell in several movies. Look him up. He's got a lot of movie credits.
Still a GREAT movie. I was 15, living a mile from the beach and bodysurfing was my hobby when it was released. After seeing it I still went to the beach, but never went into the ocean again.
I was 15 also. Saw it in Sacramento. November. My freshman year. Sacramento Invitational Cross Country meet. Today, at 63, if I'd try to run a 2 mile course, I'd be yelling, hollering, spitting up blood like Quint, lol.
The mayor had already suffered for his mistakes. Both he and Brody almost lost their kids out there, assuming his boy was one of the boys in the estuary.
@@clipsclipsandmoreclips3384 he said my kids were on that beach too in the hospital but didn't mention the estuary. I think he was just flustered that his stupidity to keep the beaches open backfired on him, and in Jaws 2 he was the same schmuck and fired Brody, but this time his kid was out there. Since the film ended after he electrocuted the shark we can only assume Brody got his job back.
Sooner they'll do, just watch how they'll replace the 3 main characters with females and blacks to turn it woke, just like they did with Marvel movies and Ghostbusters 😂.

I was 10 years old and loved having fun down at the beach every summer riding the waves in the ocean at the Jersey Shore. Then I saw this movie. Scariest movie I ever saw. No movie in my life ever scared me like this one did. Terrific film making. From that opening scene with the girl being eaten by the shark, until the end with Brody and Hooper swimming towards the beach.
Fun fact: Footage of real sharks was shot by Ron and Valerie Taylor. They filmed one scene of a great white attacking a shark cage which Spielberg wanted to use in the movie. ( See 1:27. ) Only problem was the cage was empty. They rewrote the script to allow Hooper to escape so they could use the footage. He was supposed to be killed in the cage but survived because of the Taylor shots.
This movie is an absolute classic! I’ve seen it so many times. The ending is terrific also. The sequels just do not compare and neither do any other films involving a shark. This is the most impressive movie Steven Spielberg did. The mechanical sharks didn’t work most of the time so his solution was John Williams. I like this movie just as much as an adult as I did when I was a kid.
I always thought it seemed a bit surrealistic that, even after the shark has just devoured an entire human being, it's still hungry and now going after Brody. I reckon that in real life, after eating a seal or something, the average good-sized shark would probably be satisfied for at least a few hours before setting out to hunt for further prey. The fact that the movie is so well put-together and thrilling, and has such an overall feeling of realism to it, that such implausabilities probably don't even occur to the average viewer until after the movie's over, is further testimony to what a great movie this is.
In the big, cool dark theater with the giant movie screen in front of us, sitting on my mama's knee, I watched this. I was five years old and when the shark finally died I burst into tears. I think it was all too much in that moment. But what a film! I will never forget Jaws.
I know what you mean. He wouldn't really have just slid through the doorway like that. He could've used his feet or his arms. It's like he just relies on Brody to hold him, but he still could've helped himself.
You forgot that he couldn’t extend his arm so he lost grip of the table and slid out of brodys hand. Maybe the angle and slipperiness of the deck was too much?
There are movies that you watch and feel good and forget them after an year or so, but then there are movies that are made not only to entertain you but brings the change in cinema or i can say first of their kind. Jaws is one of them, that truly brought the changes in history of cinema.
I was in 7th grade when this came out, I think it was the first scary movie I'd ever seen. Not sure why my parents let me see it, perhaps they didn't know.....anyway I've probably seen it 50 times, one of the absolute best films ever. If I catch it on tv, I'm sitting down and watching!
The boat slowly sinking, no help coming, that has to be the most frightening thing about the situation. Knowing in a matter moments you'll be in the water, helpless, stranded and alone with that giant sea monster.
To an extent, Quint's death here is a parallel to the saying "a good captain always goes down with his ship". He hunted sharks for a living and it seemed like fate that he was going to be eaten by a shark and that his boat also would go down with him.
I must have watched this 200 times and still notice new details every time...like how close they actually were to shore....and how no-one ever noticed the sank Orca till Jaws 2
Bruce the Shark was mad when he had to come up and destroyed the boat because his buffet got away so he said that he gonna stop and see these two guys.
Well,in the book,hooper actually didn’t escape,so he died by the shark,and Brody swam back all by himself,and the air tank didn’t blow up the shark,Bruce died in the book due to massive blood loss,I mean,Bruce is strong,how can he die due to blood loss,his skin is like a bullet proof suit.
Grat movie. Never forget my first time when i was just a little kid. They just added it to peacock and i had to watch lol.😊 some was also filmed with real shark.
I was elated to see it on Peacock but I wasn’t happy to find that the audio was edited to a louder volume. Like, in this cut when Jaws breaks through the glass, the glass cracks whereas in the cut in Peacock, there’s an explosion-like noise.
Quint caused that calamity he smashed the radio he blew up the engine by over-revving it he has only himself to blame he really had a death wish he felt guilty about surviving the 1945 shark attack when most of his fellow sailors died and he carried that guilt for 30 years that's why he said he won't ever wear a life vest ever again he wanted to die at sea.
This is what I love above Bruce and what he has that no other shark after him has. He ups the stakes in every scene involving him, smashing out expectations for this "shark". This is a long one so if you don't have the patience to read more than two sentences just move along and don't bother replying. In the iconic opening scene as good and terrifying as if it is you think this is just a simple shark attack. Nothing special. Then you see the remains of Chrissy's body and you realize he didn't just eat and kill her. He tore her to shreds. Bruce is not an animal. He's a vicious animal. Still he's a vicious animal that can be handled from the audience perspective. After all man has killed sharks before. Then comes the beach scene where Bruce scores 2 kills before anyone even realizes. Brody is already paranoid of Bruce's presence and is actively looking out for him but not even he sees the shark until after he gets Alex showing off the stealthy hunting patterns of a predator. At this point Bruce has thrown the whole town into a panic. Sure none of them are scared and freaking out but Amity is starting to slowly unravel now as the peaceful summer town is turned into a hunting party for a single shark. A single shark that we now know is immensely strong during the holiday roast scene. Then we get the Ben Gardner scene which reveals a lot about Bruce. First off he's a great white shark. Second we see his continued viciousness toward his prey with the famous head jump scare. Finally we see how badly he trashed Ben's boat. This scene foreshadows how strategic Bruce can be as he clearly turned that boat into a floating piece of wood to strand his prey before taking them out just like he would do with the Orca later on. By this point even though the people of Amity believe Bruce has been caught and killed they're all too afraid to get in the water. Then during the pond scene we finally get a look at Bruce and realizes how big he is. Not to mention we see his stealth approach again when he comes up from under a guy and pulls him under the water and then right after that we once again see his brutality with his victims as he's chewing on a guy screaming his lungs out. Then we get the gaming fish scene where Quint points out how smart Bruce is by swimming under the boat in order to avoid getting reeled up. Not only does it show that Bruce's is intelligent but he may also be a quick learner or worse experienced with shark hunters. Then there's the bigger boat scene where we finally realize how big Bruce really is from the words of Quint and Hooper who are both experienced with sharks but are still in awe of this mammoth monster since not even female great whites are as big as Bruce. By nightfall Bruce starts to play the strategy he used against Gardner and starts wrecking the boat a little. This is why I think Bruce might have experience with shark hunters because when the crew is fixing the boat Bruce allows the barrel to surface right next to the boat and once they try to grab it he pulls off another stealth attack to try and get them but it fails. However it does unhook the barrel from Bruce. Now we finally get to see the peak of Bruce's strength when he's hooked to the Orca and not only begins to tow it but tow it further out to sea something that Brody points out later and by Hooper's silent reaction neither he or Quint even truly realized this. The two are even more dumbfounded when they see Bruce dive with 3 barrels attached to him and when Hooper gives Brody his quick answer about seeing a shark act like this you begin to wonder what's going on their heads. Maybe they're wondering if they're even dealing with a shark at this point and not a monster. Then comes when Bruce actually starts chasing the Orca showing intent no normal shark would and that is another game changer. Even after being wounded Bruce will not let these three get away and shows he's not hunting to eat. He's hunting to kill. Joke about JAWS 2 and 4 all you want but when Quint went up against Bruce it became personal for Bruce and he turned the hunters into the prey. Something Quint actually realizes after exhausting ever tactic in his arsenal and actually banking on Hooper's shark cage. Due to Bruce's power and cunning now the audience knows it's only a matter of time before the Orca ends up like Gardner's boat. Next is possibly the scariest thing about Bruce. After getting accidentally caught in the cage, Bruce just goes into a frenzy. He's not playing it safe anymore with stealth moves or waiting for the boat to completely sink. For once he was put in a true state of panic by getting caught in the cage and this shark is now pissed. He literally throws his entire body onto the Orca effectively ending the boat and its captain. What's scarier is that Bruce could've done this at any point in time but now he's thrown caution to the wind and killed Quint the same way he killed Chrissy, Gardner, and the guy in the pond. And he's still not done. Even after killing Quint Bruce rams his head right through the boat and shows how dead set he is on getting Brody no matter what. Even when he has the air tank in his mouth and ultimately can't bite through it he doesn't bother to even spit it out because he's just so focused on killing Brody. By the end of the movie you realized that Bruce was not a normal shark. He possessed strength, size, intelligence, experience and most important of them all emotions. Bruce was no shark. He was a monster and none of his successors have truly encapsulated that the way he did
It was amazing!! Saw this as a kid when it opened. 800 people. It got a huge reaction. When the shark finally appears the noise in the theater was so long you couldn't hear Roy's famous line.
I did. I was 5, then again when I was 8 then 11 and a few more times since then, most recently in 2022 in IMAX. I saw it at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2017 in a 5,000 strong crowd with the BBC orchestra playing the score live in front of a giant screen. Amazing.
@@roquefortfilesin the summer of around 1976, do you know if they re-released this? I remember as a kid watching that dead corpse pop up early in the movie. Scared me too death!
First time I saw Jaws i was 10 years old. I was afraid to take a bath after watching it. Spielberg killed it! Almost 50 years later people are still terrified of this movie
They made a toy of Jaws the shark as an action figure with an opening mouth that can't digest anything and they made an action figure of bloody Mr quint so that's why they made toys of that
SOOOO much better than CGI. The Jaws sequels were all very substandard---kind of like the Alien franchise---after Alien and Aliens all the sequels were bad.
I love the Fact Richard Dreyfuss had to take seperate shots where there was just a camera and a microphone in his Face and he was told to scream underwater 😅
I can't remember when but I must've been at least 12-13 years old when I watched this movie. I remember my dad actually asking me if I really wanted to watch this movie... I was: ''Hell yeah!!!''. But after I watched the movie halfway I was: ''Hell no...'''
I remember back in like 2016 or something, my parents made me watch this movie and keep in mind I was like five or something and the ending terrified me. A 25-Foot Great white shark basically climbing onto a boat and biting a man until he is dead freaked me out to the point of me not even wanting to get onto a boat because I was scared about a shark getting onto the boat (I have good reasoning since mako sharks are known to jump into boats) This film is probably also a good reason on how I have thalassophobia. Still a 10/10 movie
Hard to believe this was made 50 years ago and I still remember when it was a huge "Summer Blockbuster", in fact it was the movie which spawned that label. Is it still re-watchable? Hell yeah! As artificial as the sharkbot looks, it's stil way better than almost every attempt at CGI, and Spielberg very smartly (or reactively) only showed it near the end in short segments. Who knew it would end up leaping out of the water and roaring like a T-Rex in Jaws:The Revenge several years later.
This film was an absolute masterpiece, Spielberg’s best film, period. And that final shot of the shark fin amidst that cloud of blood was such a perfect final moment to the film. 👍🏻🤌🏻
There is an error in this scene. When Sam Quint lets go of Martin Brody's hand, his gloved left hand is visible. Then in the foreground you can see his left hand without a glove and in the next scene, before being caught by the shark, both hands are gloved again.
Jaws occupies a nearly unique spot in film history, because the ending of the book by peter benchley is very different than the ending of the movie, and the movie purposely deviates heavily from the book at the end. Yet the movie's ending is a million times better than the book's ending, which I won't spoil for you but which I will say is naturalistic and entirely feasible for an ending, but which wouldn't make a good cinema ending for this kind of movie. Finally just for a piece of fun trivia, that spot that he harpoons jaws' head in a lot of times houses the center of one of the shark's main prey-detection senses, I forget exactly what it's called but it's that sense-electricity thing they do.
Family Guy Jaws brought me here! "I'll bite the leg of yours. I'll bite the other one too. I wished yoo were wearing shorts so I can see up them. Oh well! Beggers can't be choosers."

The Shark wanted a 3 piece special meal. 😅
This film was so well done, Spielberg went 100 days over schedule all to give us absolute perfection. Jaws is a perfect movie
he knew what he was doing; the original schedule was nonsense; it implied that everything would function properly and that shooting on water was easy.

You forgot that he couldn’t extend his arm so he lost grip of the table and slid out of brodys hand. Maybe the angle and slipperiness of the deck was too much?
But then he wouldn't have been eaten and we wouldnt be talking about it...took one for the team
He should've kept calm and try to slide underneath the shark with his legs spread rather than trying to kick him off
It was written that

Amazing add on touch which makes this movie a masterpiece. It’s the extra little things that make a film iconic.
In the book, Hooper dies in the cage the shark finally dies having been wounded throughout the novel by Quint, Brody and Hooper
Ya it was terrible for him
Love the reused dinosaur sound effect when the shark is blown up. Spielberg used the same sound effect in Duel when the truck goes over the cliff.
Brilliantly inserted so it seems like part of the score.

Always frightening. Too scarey. I’ll never go in the ocean. ❤
I've never been in an ocean because of this movie. Thanks Stephen!!! Lol
Stephen who? King?
It's Steven, fartbrain. Only the most famous director of all time 😵
cant tell how many times i peed myself watching four jaws movies. lol
1:34 Hooper be like: yeah I’m just going to wait this out watch the show from here XD
I imagine if Brody hadn't killed the Shark, what would Hooper have done? 😂
The boat slowly sinking, no help coming, that has to be the most frightening thing about the situation. Knowing in a matter moments you'll be in the water, helpless, stranded and alone with that giant sea monster.
One of the greatest movies ever made!!
To an extent, Quint's death here is a parallel to the saying "a good captain always goes down with his ship". He hunted sharks for a living and it seemed like fate that he was going to be eaten by a shark and that his boat also would go down with him.
I must have watched this 200 times and still notice new details every time...like how close they actually were to shore....and how no-one ever noticed the sank Orca till Jaws 2
I Agree 100% The Mayor Should've Been Bruce's Meal, Not Quint. Quint Spent His Life Catching, & Killing Sharks. RIP Robert Shaw.
Masterpiece in the making
The Orchestra alone is unnatched
such a master class of film making .. ..
The editing definately made this scene work
このサメシリーズいいですよね 迫力満点でしたよね 今も見てもいいですよね監督スティーヴンスピル
1:27, 1:42, 2:14 - That shark was so pissed it tipped the boat over and devoured Quint horribly.
2:14 - the shark is like : Where is my lovely Hooper? Where do you hide him? Give him back to me!
Ermm, the greatest 6 minute ending sequence in movie history?
It's up there with the ending of "The Return of the King" final battle at the Black Gate in LOTR.
The Movie Was Great They Made That Mechanic Shark Look Real
Some scenes were with a real shark like when it was destroying the cage and when it swam off after
@@Dirty_Dan205, but they were done in a way to make you think that they were actual shot scenes
Bruce the Shark was mad when he had to come up and destroyed the boat because his buffet got away so he said that he gonna stop and see these two guys.
That was not the full ending. The movie ends with Hooper coming up from hiding and him and Brody swimming off into the sunset to shore.
Well,in the book,hooper actually didn’t escape,so he died by the shark,and Brody swam back all by himself,and the air tank didn’t blow up the shark,Bruce died in the book due to massive blood loss,I mean,Bruce is strong,how can he die due to blood loss,his skin is like a bullet proof suit.
@@laurababyyy1I would assume it was from a combination of the knife wounds from Quint and the spear that Brody had.
Grat movie. Never forget my first time when i was just a little kid. They just added it to peacock and i had to watch lol.😊 some was also filmed with real shark.
I was elated to see it on Peacock but I wasn’t happy to find that the audio was edited to a louder volume. Like, in this cut when Jaws breaks through the glass, the glass cracks whereas in the cut in Peacock, there’s an explosion-like noise.
That Shark was relentless almost psychotic in behavior.
Bruce the Shark when bit into Quint.
"You speared me biotch! I slit up up the middle!"
Quint caused that calamity he smashed the radio he blew up the engine by over-revving it he has only himself to blame he really had a death wish he felt guilty about surviving the 1945 shark attack when most of his fellow sailors died and he carried that guilt for 30 years that's why he said he won't ever wear a life vest ever again he wanted to die at sea.
...and the Oscar for Best Run-On Sentence goes to ^
😁
That is one way to kill a shark.
This is what I love above Bruce and what he has that no other shark after him has. He ups the stakes in every scene involving him, smashing out expectations for this "shark".
This is a long one so if you don't have the patience to read more than two sentences just move along and don't bother replying.
In the iconic opening scene as good and terrifying as if it is you think this is just a simple shark attack. Nothing special. Then you see the remains of Chrissy's body and you realize he didn't just eat and kill her. He tore her to shreds. Bruce is not an animal. He's a vicious animal. Still he's a vicious animal that can be handled from the audience perspective. After all man has killed sharks before. Then comes the beach scene where Bruce scores 2 kills before anyone even realizes. Brody is already paranoid of Bruce's presence and is actively looking out for him but not even he sees the shark until after he gets Alex showing off the stealthy hunting patterns of a predator. At this point Bruce has thrown the whole town into a panic. Sure none of them are scared and freaking out but Amity is starting to slowly unravel now as the peaceful summer town is turned into a hunting party for a single shark. A single shark that we now know is immensely strong during the holiday roast scene. Then we get the Ben Gardner scene which reveals a lot about Bruce. First off he's a great white shark. Second we see his continued viciousness toward his prey with the famous head jump scare. Finally we see how badly he trashed Ben's boat. This scene foreshadows how strategic Bruce can be as he clearly turned that boat into a floating piece of wood to strand his prey before taking them out just like he would do with the Orca later on. By this point even though the people of Amity believe Bruce has been caught and killed they're all too afraid to get in the water. Then during the pond scene we finally get a look at Bruce and realizes how big he is. Not to mention we see his stealth approach again when he comes up from under a guy and pulls him under the water and then right after that we once again see his brutality with his victims as he's chewing on a guy screaming his lungs out. Then we get the gaming fish scene where Quint points out how smart Bruce is by swimming under the boat in order to avoid getting reeled up. Not only does it show that Bruce's is intelligent but he may also be a quick learner or worse experienced with shark hunters. Then there's the bigger boat scene where we finally realize how big Bruce really is from the words of Quint and Hooper who are both experienced with sharks but are still in awe of this mammoth monster since not even female great whites are as big as Bruce. By nightfall Bruce starts to play the strategy he used against Gardner and starts wrecking the boat a little. This is why I think Bruce might have experience with shark hunters because when the crew is fixing the boat Bruce allows the barrel to surface right next to the boat and once they try to grab it he pulls off another stealth attack to try and get them but it fails. However it does unhook the barrel from Bruce. Now we finally get to see the peak of Bruce's strength when he's hooked to the Orca and not only begins to tow it but tow it further out to sea something that Brody points out later and by Hooper's silent reaction neither he or Quint even truly realized this. The two are even more dumbfounded when they see Bruce dive with 3 barrels attached to him and when Hooper gives Brody his quick answer about seeing a shark act like this you begin to wonder what's going on their heads. Maybe they're wondering if they're even dealing with a shark at this point and not a monster. Then comes when Bruce actually starts chasing the Orca showing intent no normal shark would and that is another game changer. Even after being wounded Bruce will not let these three get away and shows he's not hunting to eat. He's hunting to kill. Joke about JAWS 2 and 4 all you want but when Quint went up against Bruce it became personal for Bruce and he turned the hunters into the prey. Something Quint actually realizes after exhausting ever tactic in his arsenal and actually banking on Hooper's shark cage. Due to Bruce's power and cunning now the audience knows it's only a matter of time before the Orca ends up like Gardner's boat. Next is possibly the scariest thing about Bruce. After getting accidentally caught in the cage, Bruce just goes into a frenzy. He's not playing it safe anymore with stealth moves or waiting for the boat to completely sink. For once he was put in a true state of panic by getting caught in the cage and this shark is now pissed. He literally throws his entire body onto the Orca effectively ending the boat and its captain. What's scarier is that Bruce could've done this at any point in time but now he's thrown caution to the wind and killed Quint the same way he killed Chrissy, Gardner, and the guy in the pond. And he's still not done. Even after killing Quint Bruce rams his head right through the boat and shows how dead set he is on getting Brody no matter what. Even when he has the air tank in his mouth and ultimately can't bite through it he doesn't bother to even spit it out because he's just so focused on killing Brody. By the end of the movie you realized that Bruce was not a normal shark. He possessed strength, size, intelligence, experience and most important of them all emotions. Bruce was no shark. He was a monster and none of his successors have truly encapsulated that the way he did
0:02 shark jumpscare
Thanks

Yea
Jaws Soundtrack of Music by John Williams
Phenomenal musical score he created 👏🏼
I'd love to have seen this on the big screen when it was released
It was amazing!! Saw this as a kid when it opened. 800 people. It got a huge reaction. When the shark finally appears the noise in the theater was so long you couldn't hear Roy's famous line.
I did. I was 5, then again when I was 8 then 11 and a few more times since then, most recently in 2022 in IMAX.
I saw it at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2017 in a 5,000 strong crowd with the BBC orchestra playing the score live in front of a giant screen. Amazing.
@@lyndoncmp5751 I wish I'd been there, it sounds brilliant
@@lyndoncmp5751 I saw it on release in 1975. I loved it in Imax last year.
@@roquefortfilesin the summer of around 1976, do you know if they re-released this? I remember as a kid watching that dead corpse pop up early in the movie. Scared me too death!
This is a pretty cool shark movie!! Maybe it will be a cult classic someday???
Yeah,I heard some people won’t go in the ocean
First time I saw Jaws i was 10 years old. I was afraid to take a bath after watching it. Spielberg killed it! Almost 50 years later people are still terrified of this movie
I never noticed how they slid down into the sharks mouth like they were hanging off the edge of a mountain 😂 that was like a 5 degree incline, maybe 😂
They made a toy of Jaws the shark as an action figure with an opening mouth that can't digest anything and they made an action figure of bloody Mr quint so that's why they made toys of that
Shark needs anger management
I love it when revered, you can just watch sharks cutely returning limbs and body parts ☺️
awesome movie
SOOOO much better than CGI. The Jaws sequels were all very substandard---kind of like the Alien franchise---after Alien and Aliens all the sequels were bad.
That shark was very very strong 🦈
"This shark, swallow ya whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', down ya go!" Sometimes it sucks to right, huh Quint?
Still holds up as one of the most brutal deaths in movie history
I love the Fact Richard Dreyfuss had to take seperate shots where there was just a camera and a microphone in his Face and he was told to scream underwater 😅
Remember the feeling back in those days when the people coming out of the session before had seen the movie and you still were about to go in?
A 9 out of 10
I guess you could say he fell right into its... JAWS.
that missile like sound when the bullet is about to hit the cylinder makes the scene cooler
I can't remember when but I must've been at least 12-13 years old when I watched this movie. I remember my dad actually asking me if I really wanted to watch this movie...
I was: ''Hell yeah!!!''. But after I watched the movie halfway I was: ''Hell no...'''
What scares me the most on tv and movies is being eaten alive, and this is at the top of my list.
The Sound is Amazing. When his Bones crack, wtf
I remember back in like 2016 or something, my parents made me watch this movie and keep in mind I was like five or something and the ending terrified me. A 25-Foot Great white shark basically climbing onto a boat and biting a man until he is dead freaked me out to the point of me not even wanting to get onto a boat because I was scared about a shark getting onto the boat (I have good reasoning since mako sharks are known to jump into boats) This film is probably also a good reason on how I have thalassophobia. Still a 10/10 movie
そうそう！！最初の頃のJAWSって鮫が超ハリボテ感満載やった。
けど何故かめっちゃ迫力はあったわ😊
Hard to believe this was made 50 years ago and I still remember when it was a huge "Summer Blockbuster", in fact it was the movie which spawned that label. Is it still re-watchable? Hell yeah! As artificial as the sharkbot looks, it's stil way better than almost every attempt at CGI, and Spielberg very smartly (or reactively) only showed it near the end in short segments. Who knew it would end up leaping out of the water and roaring like a T-Rex in Jaws:The Revenge several years later.
船長が喰われるシーンは衝撃だったなぁ😱
This film was an absolute masterpiece, Spielberg’s best film, period. And that final shot of the shark fin amidst that cloud of blood was such a perfect final moment to the film. 👍🏻🤌🏻
There is an error in this scene. When Sam Quint lets go of Martin Brody's hand, his gloved left hand is visible. Then in the foreground you can see his left hand without a glove and in the next scene, before being caught by the shark, both hands are gloved again.
His shirt is wet in some shots and dry in others before he meets his doom.
Quint Was My Favourite Character In JAWS he was Cool 😎 RIP 🪦 Robert Shaw ❤
Jaws is my 2nd favorite movie directed by Steven Spielberg (behind E.T.)
Αυτές της ταινίες της αγαπώ πάρα πολύ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That scene when Jaws climbed the boat ate the man traumatised me as a kid I was so scared of even going swimming at school 😂
It kind dissapointed me that the guy who was the expert on fishing sharks, ended up as another victim of the shark
This is how powerful bruce is it had an agenda to kill these 3 importent ppl
Jaws occupies a nearly unique spot in film history, because the ending of the book by peter benchley is very different than the ending of the movie, and the movie purposely deviates heavily from the book at the end. Yet the movie's ending is a million times better than the book's ending, which I won't spoil for you but which I will say is naturalistic and entirely feasible for an ending, but which wouldn't make a good cinema ending for this kind of movie. Finally just for a piece of fun trivia, that spot that he harpoons jaws' head in a lot of times houses the center of one of the shark's main prey-detection senses, I forget exactly what it's called but it's that sense-electricity thing they do.
Man of all the sharks Quint survived during the Indianapolis disaster, Jaws was one too many...
Common misconception. The shark’s name was Bruce.
Family Guy Jaws brought me here!
"I'll bite the leg of yours. I'll bite the other one too. I wished yoo were wearing shorts so I can see up them. Oh well! Beggers can't be choosers."
