If you play Jaws in reverse it's the touching story of a fish assembling wooden structures and reattaching limbs to people that lost them.
😂❤
You win movie reaction youtube there, sir! 🤣😂
he also spits out a body that he mistakenly bit and swallowed previously and then casually backs off of the boat.
And in reverse Chrissy gets her horrible case of the crabs cured.
But the musical score sucks and has hidden messages.
Hard to imagine nowadays, but back then it was a boxoffice - death sentence for a movie to be released during the summer.
Steven Spielberg didn´t just create the summer blockbuster;
He changed the business forever.
Back in the day people used to go to the beach in the summer... Not the movies!
Good to know.
@@RetroRobotRadio The United States has a land area of approximately 3.5 million square miles. The water area consisting of lakes, rivers, and coastal waters is approximately 260,000 square miles. I'm sure even back in the day there were plenty of people who would go to the movie theater for entertainment.
I still down think he's rated high enough amongst filmmakers.
Death sentence? While Jaws invented the concept of the summer blockbuster, a ton of popular movies before it were released in the summer, including Bambi, Snow White, Mary Poppins, The Exorcist, American Graffiti, Psycho, Casablanca, Blazing Saddles, Psycho, bla bla bla. Not sure where you got "death sentence" from.
"Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that's all." Favorite quote of the movie for sure
All this machine does is watch movies, talk about movies and make little technical difficulties lol.
"Love to prove that, wouldn't you? Get your name into the national geographic."
"A mindless.....eating machine."
I still remember the voice over from the trailer.
Extremely iconic line... but somehow I still prefer "It ate the light".
'you are going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you on the ass'
Has always been my favourite line,
“We’re starting our summer of sharks and spaghetti.”
“That is the dumbest name. You should not call it that.”
“Our summer of spaghetti and sharks.”
😂
At the time Jaws was very popular. People were hesitant to go in any water at all. Spielberg, genius.
He scared every generation who were born after this movie in going into the ocean. XD
Also, the scene when they are examining Ben Gardner’s beat-up fishing boat, and Hooper pulls a shark tooth the size of a shot glass out of the hole in the hull -- just as Ben Gardner’s mutilated head suddenly appears -- is one of the greatest jump-scares of all time!
lol her reaction to Quint, "And he is eating....lovely" as she puts a snack in her mouth pahaha
Jaws and The Goonies are two movies that never need to be remade, imo.
When I was a sophomore in high school, my biology teacher took the entire class to go see this movie via a special field trip. I still have Peggy Mosely's fingernail imprints in my arm to this day. Thank you Mr. Spicer, wherever you are!
Fun Fact, the news reporter on the beach was Peter Benchley, the author of the Jaws novel!
Very true.
I noticed his hand holding the microphone was shaking. Was he actually nervous or acting?
Watched the movie in 1975 when i was 12 with my dad. Such an amazing experience me and my dad stayed in a our seats and watched the movie all over again.
I can understand that.
I was 7 when I saw it in 75. All water scared me for a year after that. 😄
I recently saw the film in theaters last year on the big screen. Grew up watching it all the time never saw it in theaters and it was a blast the people I saw it with jump scared compared to films like The Meg or Black Demon that nearly put them to sleep
"It's only an island if you look at it from the water".
"That makes a lot of sense."
For those of you who think sharks don't concern you, and you have nothing to fear because you don't go in the water, you're probably too young to remember the "Land Shark" epidemic in New York City shortly after this film came out, see vintage SNL from 1975 for more information.
He pretended to be pizza delivery guy among others .... Such a sneaky 😂
@@raybernal6829 think candygram too? the voice was great.
@@raybernal6829 "Plumber".
"Candy Gram"
@@ChocolatePiazza 😂🤣
We still have a drive-in theater in my town and this is the first movie they play at the start of summer. We go every year. I first saw this movie in 1975 when I was in the 6th grade. It's been my favorite movie ever and I watched it every year since then.
Do you live in oregon?
“He’s made some good ones after this” might be the most underrated thing anyone has ever said about Steven Spielberg lol
In The Blues Brothers , Steven Spielberg ate a sandwich .
@@michaelpytel3280 "Can I help you?"
Even before this one.
Duel was awesome
"You're gonna need a bigger boat", perhaps the greatest ad-lib line in movie history.
Absolutely; and thank you for quoting it correctly.😊
Greatest? No.
Amongst the greatest? Yep
In the backstory of Chief Brody, he was shot back in NYC, which is why he moved to Amity Island. This is the wound he's contemplating showing the others onboard the boat during their drunken pissing contest. Spielberg chose Roy Scheider as Brody because he had just played a leading cop in "The French Connection". The cinema audience could identify his portrait that way.
I don't remember that from the book?! The scar he was going to show was from an appendectomy! Which was supposed to be a little comic relief in the movie
Also, Hooper was banging Mrs. Brody. Thank God Spielberg and the writers changed that storyline. I honestly didn't even like the book. This is one time the movie was 10x better imho.
That may have been his backstory in the book, but the book characters are not the movie characters. That is, these are two separate sets of characters. No, the scar Movie Brody is looking at is an appendix removal scar.
"Spielberg chose Roy Scheider as Brody because..."
Not true. According to Scheider, he and Spielberg were at a party together one night and Spielberg was explaining this "Jaws" project he was doing, but he couldn't quite cast the leading Brody part. Scheider looked incredulously at him then asked, "What's wrong with me??" And Spielberg gave him the part right there.
@@clevelandcbi I actually prefer the book over the movie because it's more dirty.
No it was not and that is not even in the book. The scar was from surgery when he had appendicitis and had an appendectomy. Which is why he was ashamed to show it to the other 2 who had "battle scars"
I got to watch this in the pouring rain on an aircraft carrier once. Absolutely worth the cold I caught.
The television reporter on the beach is author Peter Benchley, he wrote Jaws.
So glad the movie changed the storyline. Hooper being hilarious instead of a scumbag nailing Mrs. Brody was a terrific choice. My favorite Peter Benchley book is called White Shark, ironically not about a shark lol.
I’ll die on this mountain: Jaws is the greatest movie ever made. Everything about it is perfect. The musical arrangements fits perfectly. The dialogue between the three on the boat is just pure chemistry. The one liners are still quoted 50+ years later. And the fact that you’re terrified without ever seeing the shark until the third act of the movie (minus a brief glimpse before the third act) is just a testament to Spielberg’s craft. He truly is a master at suspense. Everything about this film is just perfect.
I don’t care what anyone says, the sequel was also incredible, albei, no where near as good as the first. But just great in its own ways. 3 and 4 are more nostalgic for me. I grew up obsessed with all 4 movies. I can still do 3. But I watched The Revenge recently, and my god. I can quote it front to back and I’m ashamed of it. 😂
As this is premiering Susan Backlinie (the first victim) has been dead 2 months, aged 77. RIP.
I had heard she was paid a min SAG wage /400 a day......... but somehow got a .005%age or something like that & never became a millionare, but her lifetime film royalties were pretty good, especially when views like ours on "reaction videos" counted as a %age of a %age of the % she received.
One of the two boys with the fake shark fin was elected Mayor of the town that was the stand in for Amity Island.
"Several decades after the film's release, Lee Fierro walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed an "Alex Kintner Sandwich" on the menu. She commented that she had played his mother many years ago. Jeffrey Voorhees, owner of the restaurant, ran out to meet her. He had played her son, and they hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot."
I heard it was chief of police rather than mayor.
@@nicksykes4575 You are correct. I was going from memory, which, unfortunately, isn't as good as it used to be.
"Boy who appeared in 'Jaws' fake shark scene becoming Oak Bluffs police chief
Nearly 50 years after appearing in "Jaws," the boy in the fake shark scene is becoming the police chief of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard.
MAY 20, 2022"
Wow,that’s amazing and lovely.
@@socalpaul487 As I recall, it was the young man on the right, who points and says "he made me do it". What I didn't realise is how recent he was elected, I presumed it was the early 2000s, it seems longer than 2 and a bit years ago when I heard about it. If I was one of his deputies, I wouldn't be able to resist calling him Chief Brodie!
Jaws is the GOAT.
I thought jaws was the shark. 🥸
LOL Now THERE'S a mental image for ya. 😳😂
Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum... 🐐
Cowboy: "That's just going to attract a bigger shark."
Funny you should mention that...
Best reaction to Quint clawing the chalkboard ever.
No no no no!, 😂
“if the teeth don’t fit, you must acquit!”
Please no more, my stomach hurts!
Imagine being Steven Spielberg in the 1980s? Literally every big movie is either directed, produced by either you or George Lucas. I think Ghostbusters is the only one neither had a hand in. But it’s insane. Jaws, Close Enocuntees, Raiders, E.T., Poltergeist, Temple of Doom, Gremlins, Back to the Future, Goonies. Crazy unprecedented run of success.
Jaws is one of my favorite films of all time. It’s my favorite horror movie as it’s just truly a horrifying situation of a shark terrorizing a small New England town that has to be dealt with. The performances are excellent, especially by the three leads, the direction is amazing, the writing is incredible, the score is fantastic… this is one of the most perfect movies ever made honestly. Shame Scheider, Shaw and Spielberg weren’t nominated for Oscars for this film. I’ve been fortunate enough to see this film on the big screen on a few occasions and each time I’ve seen it, it’s been truly amazing. I also love sharks and loved them ever since I was a kid. This movie scared me when I was young I think in part due to knowing a good amount about sharks and the music being a big factor to it as it just freaked me out. It’s awesome to see you guys watch this, hope you two are doing well. Take care!
honestly I always felt sorry for Quint...to survive WW2 during the Pacific Campaign in shark infested waters only to get eaten by a 25+ ft man eating shark while still hollering and screaming 😱 🦈
Hat guy misunderstood Quint's reason for hunting this shark... it wasn't about the money (his whole boat was getting wrecked) and it wasn't about being mad when told what to do on his boat, it was that he didn't want to be stopped from getting the shark. It was his past in WW2 and wanting to get revenge on sharks. Basically, it's similar to Moby Dick and the captain's obsession with the whale.
@@Scary__fun I can see the comparisons...and in ironic twist he experienced the very same fate his buddy Herbie? had unfortunately got dealt with, getting eaten alive 😨
@@Bazzz87 But like Ahab, "Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale*; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."
*Shark. Pretty close.
@@AndrewGivens I love that quote.
Yes Quint was very much like Ahab in that his shark attack made him crazy and he hunted sharks all the way to his death.
40:58 The story he told about the USS Indianapolis was a true story! It was considered the worst shark attack in history!
Such an iconic movie 🦈 beginning with the soundtrack and those ominous 2 notes again and again DUN NUN DUN NUN !!
How it's shot is brilliant the way the tension builds and to think SPIELBERG was only 26 when he made it plus it was only his second film .
It was the first summer Block Buster and remains a classic that is pretty much a perfect thriller .
as always thanks to Mr and Mrs Movies enjoy the summer and be safe if you ever venture into the waters ! 🌊 🙏
I saw this in a Theater in 1975.
The most fun I EVER had in a movie theater (well except...never mind)
Every showing was a sellout, that's how big Jaws was in 75.
It's the only movie I ever saw when the entire crowd stood up and applauded, cheered and jumped up and down when Bruce was blown to bits.
I don't think I'll ever see that again in a movie theater.
Fun reaction.
And Jaws is a perfect 10 out of 10. Spielberg at his most creative genius.
Top 5 all time for me.
Did u get that guys number? I bet he remembers yr eggy taste as well 🤣🤣🤣
I saw an audience reaction similar to yours when I ,as a kid, first saw "Star Wars" in 1977 especially after the Death Star exploded.
This is one of my fave movies too. I have the first three on DVD. Jaws is one of about five movies I can put on when I’m going to sleep and I can close my eyes and see every scene just from what I hear.
The gastric fluid that poured out is white because it's like pure ammonia, that's also the reason Hooper immediately covered his face.
Robert Shaw was piss drunk when he filmed the USS Indianapolis speech. He asked Spielberg the next day how it went, because he had no memory of that entire evening.
I think you're almost right. He got completely drunk the first day, couldn't do Jack shit bc he was so trashed, and then nailed the first take the next day.
Robert Shaw was drunk for the majority of the shoot. He was part of that wave of drunken British/Irish actors that broke out in Hollywood in the 60s and 70s (Along with Peter O’Toole, Richard Harris, and Oliver Reed).
That story is even more horrifying coming from someone that was acctually there...
th-cam.com/video/KOAg3wCkOkI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X9P4pI9my3JY1ur1
@@unsungzero6122 Also almost right. He did do the monologue drunk... but it was exceedingly poor. And then he asked Spielberg if he could do it again the next day sober and nailed it first take.
He was drunk most days, he was famous for it look up some of his chat show appearances.
There are three scenes that stand out to me, as probably being THE best in cinema. First of which being the moment where Quint notices his line starting to twitch. He doesn't make a huge scene, doesn't start shouting. Just slowly starts prepping his gear, and settling in for what is surely about to be the fight of his life. The look in his eyes is telling the tale. It builds tension perfectly.
The other, was his monologue about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. The way he tells it, like he was living it all over again. It never fails to send chills down my spine.
And finally, the moment where Hooper gets sent down in the cage. And there is absolutely no music playing. All you hear is the sound of the ocean, the creaking of the boat over his head as he gets his bearings. Until he sees the shark in the distance, and the music is so quiet at first. Then you slowly see the shark morphing out of the darkness, and Hooper gets his first sight of just how large the shark really is. And the music hits it's crescendo just as it's passing the cage. Until finally, it disappears into the murk. And all is quiet again. Spielberg is an AMAZING director.
I'm German, so we don't have much to do with sharks and especially not cars like this. When we sat in the theater in 1975 and saw the scene with the story about the USS Indianapolis, a falling feather would have sounded like a bell. You couldn't even hear anyone breathing, it was literally "dead style".
Analyzes of this case revealed that only the smallest proportion of deaths were attributed to sharks. Suicide, sunstroke, dehydration, intentional or unintentional consumption of sea water, maximum physical exhaustion, loss of will to live, among others, were the main reasons. Still, I can't imagine what it's like to be in such a situation for days. It exceeds everything imaginable by a factor of x. It's not just about the money for Quint. Because of his experiences with the USS Indianapolis, he leads a personal vendetta against sharks.
I swear, my grandma had a living room chair in the exact same pattern as the mayor’s striped jacket.
Quint’s death is still to this day one of the most visceral death scenes of all time! And yes i agree the scene of them at night in the boat bonding and the USS Indianapolis story (which is a true story) is also one of the best in cinema!
Good memories of when I went deep sea fishing after seeing JAWs at opening on historic Cannery Row.
This still holds up.
17:42 _UNNECESSARY!!_ lol
"It was a sha.. wooooowooo woofwoof!"
😂
This movie is the reason I'm such a big shark enthusiast. Quint lol "you go in the water, cage goes in the water, shark is in the water... our shark." 😂
Farewell and Adieu to you fair Spanish ladies.
He is drinking the second bottle of wine on the boat.
"Farewell and adieu, you fair Spanish ladies . . ." 🎶
Richard Dreyfuss is a nice and very cool guy. He was at our Scarefest horror convention here in Lexington Ky last October. He's a very talkative person and will talk to each of his fans. He talked about behind the scenes stuff of Jaws, American Graffiti and Mr. Holland's Opus.
The Mrs. yanking out her headphones is hilarious.
Fun fact? The reporter that was doing the news segment on the beach was played by "Jaws" author Peter Benchley.
In 1975, a killer shark might mean less business for local establishments. In 2024...tourism could increase due to morbid curiosity of where the girl and the little boy died in separate shark attacks.
Also...I always liked the scene where Brody and his wife were looking at the pictures of sharks. The room they're sitting in had a really cool view of the ocean.
Family watched this every summer before heading to Myrtle Beach....never went in over my waist....52 and still don't
The applause and cheering when the little girl came in had me laughing myself silly. Great interaction.
Greatest movie ever made.
"Baby steps onto the dock." ROFLMAO. That was a GREAT line.
33:08 _"Cage_ goes in the water, _you_ go in the water, the _shark's_ in the water."
And the _boat's_ in the water, so there we _are._ 🤷♂
Saw this when it came out (I was 7), part when Ben’s head kinda pops out, I screamed and literally jumped in my Mom’s lap 🤣😬 still my favorite movie of all time ♥️ (and I love sharks!)
42:57 Quint was calm because he knocked the lamp over on purpose. He saw Brody grab the radio mic and wanted to keep him from calling in.
If you are going to do "The Man with No Name" trilogy, it is probably best to start off with the very movie that inspired it all - Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo" (1961), with Toshiro Mifune as the samurai with no name, and which Sergio Leone remade (without Kurosawa's permission) as "A Fistful of Dollars". It would make for a good compare and contrast!
As a matter of fact, Kurosawa sued Leone and won. "A Fistfull of Dollars" was allowed to play in theaters with Kurosawa getting a certain percentage of the gross earnings. But yes, "Yojimbo" & "A Fisttull of Dollars" should be shown back to back, which would make for an interesting comparing & contrasting!
I'm old so saw this on opening night. I was a voracious reader as a kid/teen so had already read the novel. This is by far my all-time favorite movie. Have lived most of my life in Southern California, I have not been in the Ocean since seeing this. At this point the sharks know I have been avoiding them so just waiting for that one time for me to slip up and step in.
Even if the dude in the first scene wasn't passed out, what was he supposed to do, swim out 100 yards and fight a 3 ton shark for its dinner??
24:39
Glad to see Ben Gardner still scaring the shit out of people even after almost 50 years! 😂
19:51, "If the teeth don't fit, you must acquit."😂
The tiger shark had a few teeth left, and you could tell because the teeth point almost horizontally outward.
Tiger shark's favorite food is sea turtles, and their teeth are designed to grip turtle shells while they shake their heads.
So many parts of this film are so good that I get chills from how well its directed. You would swear that it was directed by an experienced director with numerous Oscars to his name. But nope. Just some young guy with no clue that he was about to make a film that will be remembered for all time.
Amd Robert Shaw is just out of this world when he gives his monologue.
This film is literally perfect.
One of the best films of all time. I’m surprised Mrs. Movies hasn’t watched it more often. This is some of the genuine reactions she has given in the 3+ years of this gift of a TH-cam channel. I love you both and the content just gets better and better!
My favorite part of Jaws is as follows summed up by a quote similar to Quint’s famous quote for his introduction: “The whole damn thing!”
I grew up in Massachusetts in the 70s. The father of a friend was one of the cops in that boat!
Jaws IS my favorite movie of all time it will remain #1 on my list even when I go to the beyond
@17:42 "It was a S..Woof Woof Woof" 😂🤣
greatest scene in all of cinema imo when he talks about when his sub went down
As soon as Quint saw the size of the shark the reward meant nothing to him; he was going to be the one to kill that shark and nobody else because of what happened to the USS Indianapolis.
Jaws just happens to be my GOAT, and I was the same way, as anytime it was on any channel at anytime, I would stop and watch it. I only ever saw it once as a kid in theaters for a re-release which was the norm back then(late 70's), as TV was the only other option to see a film before VCR's became a thing. Back in 2017 they had a showing for some reason, so I finally got to watch it as an adult in theaters, and even though I have long since lost track of how many times I have seen this, it never gets old. A true masterpiece for the ages.
While there are sharks in that water the larger sharks generally stick around warmer waters than are around Amity Island so they are nearly unheard of.
Except the Greenland shark is f*cking huge and that lives up near the Arctic Circle.
There were several very large great whites tracked off Marthas Vinyard in the past few years. most have transmitters on them now.
I always heard whites prefer colder water and aren’t common in tropics
@@eddhardy1054 the greenland shark is basically a non threat to people
@@chandlerburse I never said it was.
I agree with you, although I would say that it DEFINITELY IS the best monologue in film history. Quint is one the best characters ever.
AND HES EATING?!? (Sticks food in her mouth) LOL
One of the greatest movies ever made!
“Baby steps onto the dock…”
I got that reference. You think I didn’t, but I did!
I didn't get the reference; would someone care to clarify?
Movie called What About Bob, Richard Dreyfus is in it with Bill Murray.
It is from Dreyfuss’ role in What Sbout Bob?
18:06 Mr. Movies looks around and nobody's there when Ms. Movies Jr walks in.
I wasn’t born in 1975 but I did see Jaws at the drive in during Covid. Quint’s Indianapolis speech was mostly correct but the numbers were closer to 150 at the high end. Most of the crew died from exposure and wounds. He also got the date wrong as he said June 29th 1945 but the sinking of the Indianapolis took place July 30th 1945. They recently found her wreck in 18,000 feet of water.
"Baby steps through the autopsy" 😂😂😂😂 good one sir!!! I actually laughed
The actor who plays The Chief Of Police , was also in a movie called : Blue Thunder
JAFO
Helicopters are bad to have around sharks... rotor wash agitates them... then again, so would the autocannon.
The USS Indianapolis {CA-35} was a heavy cruiser. After delivering Uranium and "Special Ordnance" components to Tinian Naval Base, to be used to assemble the Little Boy atomic bomb destined for Hiroshima, they set out for The Philippines on training duty.
Just after midnight on 30 July, a Japanese submarine torpedoed the ship and it sank in around 12 minutes. 1195 crewmen were onboard. Approx 300 went down with the ship. A PV-1 Venture spotted survivors four days later while on routine patrol. Rescue operations began, and 316 survivors were recovered.
don't be so sure you should not be afraid of sharks SNL HELLO LAND SHARK
As I was watching that scene I was thinking "and a skit is born" lol.
Lmao.... Sharknado definitely... all of them... you'll both be like WTAF! through the whole movie 😂
🚤🦈 I hope you got a bigger boat-load of popcorn for this classic!! 🍿 Can't wait for your reactions. Please say you will visit the sequels. Part 2 is my favorite since I saw it at the drive in as a kid. Jaws 3D is a cringeworthy watch. Again, as a kid I loved it. With better graphics it would have been better. Part 4 The Revenge is the worst. Saw it at the theater with my parents and we all were bored to tears lol. Stay outta the water and have a safe and fun summer!! 🏖️😎
In California, killing sharks is against the law. They are protected .
And rightly so. They are magnificent animals, not monsters. th-cam.com/video/XoqRcwBJxa8/w-d-xo.html&t
One of the best movie lines ever "Smile, you sonnava-" BOOM. Also, the sound played when the dead shark is sinking is the same sound that was played in Duel when the truck is crashing. Speilberg has said that it was his homage to Duel for starting his career. Speaking of, that would be a good movie to react to.
He did say "Smile, you son of a bitch" entirely in the original mono sound mix. Spielberg removed the "bitch" when he made the stereo remix in the late 90s (which is what they were listening to here). When they get to "Jaws: The Revenge", you'll clearly hear the line in its entirety when Mrs. Brody thinks back to him telling her the story of killing the shark (she is NOT flashing back to events she was not at).
“Baby steps up onto the dock”!
I got bumped by a shark while surfing in Costa Rica. I still surf when ever I can, no fear.
In the novel on which this movie is based, Amity Island is ran behind the scenes by the Mafia and they expect the tourism dollars in that "fk you pay me" kind of way... so the mayor is under pressure to keep the beaches open... the mayor was as much a pawn as Brody is. To simplify the plot they made the socially myopic mayor the villain.
The island was run by Paulie? 😉
Robert Shaw and his character - without doubt one of the most memorable moment's in film
the guy who said hello young fella and had the mothers speech in the boat was Craig Kingsbury, he was the inspiration for Quint and shaw actually met with him before filming to get his mannerisms, from what I read Speilberg loved him and put him in the movie. He was a foul mouthed fisherman till the end. There's actually a documentary somewhere where he's interviewed
Funny thing is the second you said sharks and spaghetti I knew exactly what you meant, so I'm saying it's a genius name!!!
Hey guys, glad you covered “Jaws”!
While I’ve seen it in theater rereleases, special edition versions, and so many times on tv, my favorite way I saw it was as a “Dive-In Movie” at the Beaverton, Oregon HMT Aquatic Center.
Imagine an entire 25x50 meter olympic size indoor pool with 18 ft deep end for competitive diving, red lenses on the underwater lights to simulate blood in the water, and all the participants floating on tubes and rafts like Alex Kittner.
Of course, while I was treading water and people were asking why I didn’t grab a float, you know what I had to say:
“I’ll never wear a lifejacket again!”
13:16 yup i would also avoid rivers if the plan is to NOT meet a shark! Peter Benchleys book is inspired by the bullshark attacks which actually took place in a river..
"I have zero fear of sharks." You just wait until the movie is over....
I said we have to go and visit. “NAW”🤣
One of the greatest character's in movies, from one of the best quick reads ever. Peter Benchley playef the news reporter....and a great monolog about a true incident ......
I post this on all reaction channels. The dog, Pippit was not killed. Spielberg confirmed it. You can actually see the dog on the bridge in the scene where the shark eats the guy in the pond. You're welcome 🙃
Fun Fact. Peter Benchley, the auther of the novel Jaws that the movie is made after has a cameo as the tv reporter on the beach when all the tourist arrive.
The first victim in Jaws recently passed away Susan backlinie she was 77 year's old may she rest in peace.....Spielberg called Ms Backlinie's sequence "one of the most dangerous" stunts he's ever directed." She was actually being tugged left and right by 10 men on one rope and 10 men on the other back to the shore, and that's what caused her to move like that." Ms Backlinie worked with Spielberg again in the 1979 parody war film 1941, in which she spoofed her Jaws character
She was also killed by birds in the 1977 movie "Day of the Animals" which was many "killer animal" movies that came out after "Jaws".
HOLLYWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
It is amazing that she survived so long after having her torso bitten in 2 and missing all of her internal organs.
Remarkably, Quint’s speech about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis is a historical fact. It really happened! His vivid description of the tragedy that resulted is one of the most epic monologues in cinematic history, and is the key to his character and his obsession with killing sharks. He smashed the radio not only because he wanted to secure the bounty and reward for killing the Great White, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge - or perhaps personal redemption - for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by killing the man-eating shark himself.
So jaws to quint is what moby dick was to captain ahab
I read the book when I was a kid, thought it was the scariest book ever. Then I saw the film. I also saw Jaws 2 in the theater then, and used to go down to the theater to scare myself with the poster. Now after seeing this a couple dozen times, this is definitely one of the best movies I've ever watched, but revisiting the book I was surprised to find how tawdry and low quality it is. The film with it's simplicity, realism, and ad libbing just blows me away. Favorite scene is Quint's dialogue.
