Jaws (1975) Had Us *JUMPING* In Our Seats MOVIE REACTION!!! FIRST TIME WATCHING!!! 

One of my friends, Ed Harrell, was the last surviving member of the USS Indianapolis’ Marine Corps detachment. He passed away a couple years ago. RIP Ed and all my other lost shipmates.

Remarkably, the speech delivered by Quint about the USS Indianapolis tragedy is a true story, an actual historical fact. It really happened! His story relating the incident 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 was determined to personally secure the bounty and reward for killing the shark, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge (or perhaps redemption) for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by destroying the man-eating shark himself…

Fun fact: There are sharks that can live hundreds of years 😂 They're called Greenland sharks and the oldest one found was over 400 years old I think

This movie was the start of "Summer Blockbusters".

The Cam scream was hysterical. Zay didn’t look scared. He looked in shock.

"How come this 70s movie is making me jump scare more than modern horror movies?" Filmmaking skills, my friend. Filmmaking skills.

I would definitely classify Jaws as horror. It used to be found in that section in most video shops. You have a monster, four kills, severed limbs, a jumpscare with a body and buckets of blood.

I was in 5th grade when this movie came out in 1975. It scared EVERYBODY. Not many went swimming in the ocean that summer. When Jaws 2 was released in 1978, the tag line for the promo was “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water”.

The "You're gonna need a bigger boat" line was improvised on the spot by Roy Schieder

Zay, newer films' jump scares are PLACED into a story. You were scared by Jaws' jump scares because they are CRAFTED to be in a certain spot and there are specific visual and dialogue cues that happen beforehand to make you feel safe. The blood-test in THE THING is a great example. :)

HEADS UP for Ben Gardner😁

The adventure music was, I think, meant to give us a rare moment of feeling like these guys have the advantage. John Williams is a wizard. His music absolutely saved this film!

The shooting star was real and so perfectly timed. The shark that got caught on top of the cage was also not scripted. It was a real juvenile great white that swam through the scene.

I've seen fisherman pull a shark up onto a fishing boat and one of them was decapitated by the tail fin in one swipe. People don't realize the power of a shark, and it's teeth isn't it's only deadly weapon

Another good reaction, guys. After this movie came out, "Saturday Night Live" would do these skits where a shark would come to a housewife's door and when she opened the door, it would kill her. So, for example, a housewife (usually Gilda Radner) would hear a knock on the door. She'd walk over and call through the door, "Who is it?" A voice on the other side of the door would call back, "Candygram." She'd respond through the door something like, "Who would be sending me a candygram?" It would call back, "Candygram.......land shark" Eventually, she's say, "I'd better find out" and open the door and it would kill her.

Robert Shaw, the fisherman, who offered to catch the shark, was an actor actor who played in another famous movie: Battle of the Bulge. It was a WWII movie about the Nazi's assault on the western front.

If nobody else told you here's how the barrels work. Sharks, being so ancient they never evolved gill muscles to send oxygen from the water through their bloodstream. They have to keep swimming for the water to flow over their gills.If they stop swimming they die. Attaching the barrels to sharks wears them out. Eventually, they stop swimming and die.

The scene inside the boat when they're comparing scars and Quint tells his story about his ship being torpedoed and sunk, and the following shark attacks really happened. It's a true story. It adds a deep layer to Quint and it elevates the film above what is basically a monster movie.

Fun fact: the oldest known shark fossils date back further than the oldest known specimens of tree fossils… yeah sharks are older than trees.

45:05 In Peter Benchley's novel, the oxygen tank is in the shark's mouth because Hooper's lifeless torso was in there. So Hooper did help kill the shark.

Fun fact: The shark was originally supposed to be in the film a lot more, clearly seen. The crew were having all kinds of problems with getting it to work, so Spielberg worked around it by having it mostly hidden and that turned out to be a brilliant idea. Your imagination really works on you throughout the film until you get a good view later.

A bit of clarity, in Tourist towns like this, their entire yearly economy depends on hitting the holidays as hard as they can. And yeah, even a day can ruin a business. Not that I'm siding with the business owners/mayor etc... just to kinda give a bit more of an understanding of how important tourist season is for these seasonal towns. It's similar here in Vermont with Skiing. We get huge volumes of tourism during the winter, and there's businesses that support them throughout those months. However, in the spring/summer that dies down etc... one mild winter can cripple the tourism and in turn, the town/village/city for the next year. Also, the Greenland Shark can live up to 400 years.

Great reaction, that was fun!! This is the movie that changed everything. Prior to Jaws, summer was considered a slow season and the better movies were saved for other times But , I believe the production delays caused them to release this in June The marketing on the film was brilliant. The book Jaws, came out about a year before the film and they timed the release of this film with the release of the paperback version of the book, which everybody had and was talking about , creating a huge buzz, they also did a wide release of the film, which I believe was unusual at the time. I liked the second Jaws, I thought it was suspenseful and fun. The third and fourth were pretty low budget and not worth it.

Imagine how much more scary that jump scare would have been if you had actually HAD YOUR EYES ON THE SCREEN! Never take your eyes off the screen in a movie like Jaws! 😂😂😂😂😂 Three lessons from the world of cinema: 1.) Never get out of the boat (apocalypse now) 2.) Never trust a Sicilian when death is on the line (princess bride) and 3.) Never take your eyes off the screen! (Jaws reaction, 2023)🤣 (just teasing you guys, it was still hilarious, great reaction.) PS: Cam is completely correct: the sequels are so bad they're funny.

Quint. The quintessential dude with no f**ks to give. The head jump scare is one of the best ever. Have you guys seen “Alien?”

Gen X here. Remember when this was in the theaters. My uncle had a beach house in Huntington Beach, CA. We would spend every weekend there during the summer. I remember many of us cousins were literally too scared to go into the ocean when this movie came out. We were even to scared to go into swimming pools. And we weren’t the only ones. When Jaws 2 came out the tag line on the tv commercial said “Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water”.

"My kids were on that beach too." - The shark wasn't on the beach. This was the first time I noticed the chief barely ate his meal on the boat while the other two with a lot of 'sea time' had no issues. Just as the shark knocks.

"24 hours is like 3 weeks!" Possibly meant money wise. The whole reason this was an issue was that its a summer town. Maybe 1 day in the summer = 3weeks during the rest of the year

The author of the book, Peter Benchley, said years later and still says that he deeply regrets writing this story. It started a panic about sharks that has lasted until this very day. Sharks have been hunted as if they were killers, when the vast majority of sharks (even great whites) have little to no interest in humans at all. Benchley thought he was writing a great story, but it turned out to be the worst thing ever to happen to those creatures, a real disaster.

I was 12 when this movie came out. I had just finished reading the book and was already a little terrified. Saw this in the theaters and to this day, I have never looked at the ocean the same way. Pretty safe to say that this movie traumatized my generation😳

This is my all-time favorite movie. I even have the shark from the poster tattooed on my back. First saw this one in September 1979 when the movie aired on ABC. I was five at the time, and since it was a Sunday night, I had kindergarten the following day. I was allowed to watch the beginning of it, but then the 9PM bedtime hit, and I was supposed to go to bed. However, the door to me and my little brother's bedroom didn't latch, and since my brother was asleep on the couch with my parents, I kept sneaking out of the bedroom and hid behind the recliner at the entrance of the family room where the movie was still playing. When a commercial came on or one of my parents would get up, I'd quickly head back to the bedroom and wait until the coast was clear again. I got to about the part where the Orca breaks down, and Mom caught me. She laughed and said that since the movie was almost over then I might as well finish watching it. It was in the summer of 2004 when CAPA down in Columbus was doing their summer movie series. The first weekend was Jaws. I was second in line for the first showing. Seeing my favorite movie on the big screen for the first time with an audience was an awesome experience with the screams, laughs at the funny parts, and everybody in front of me literally coming up out of their seats when Ben Gardner's head popped into view. Jaws 2 is the best of the sequels and the only other Jaws movie in my collection. The third and fourth are worth a watch, but the quality went downhill fast. Some other creature features you guys should watch are Kingdom of the Spiders (1977), Piranha (1978), and Alligator (1980).

It's funny how as technology progressed between the 3 sequels, the worse the shark looked

Greenland Sharks are actually the longest living vertebrate on our planet with an average lifespan estimated at 250 years but likely surpasses 500 years. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

It sometimes irks me that in order to make the movie tighter, Spielberg and Carl Gottlieb decided to leave out the subplot in the novel that informs us that the reason Mayor Vaughn is so terribly desperate to get paying vacationers onto Amity's beaches is because he'd persuaded certain underworld hierarchs to invest rather heavily in the island's interests. He wasn't concerned one jot about the shark because he knew darn well that there were worse predators out there to scare _him._ 😏

Re: Shark age. Greenland Sharks are believed to live at least 250 years and may live as long as 500+

Greenland sharks live between 250 to 500 years, which is impressive enough to me 😅

I was first mate on a charter fishing boat in the keys for several years. Back then, you didn't have the engineering that reels have today nor did we have the type of line that we have today. Leader lines, nylon line, all of that was brand new. You absolutely would have to dump water onto a spinning reel to keep it from overheating and not only snapping the line but completely sort of exploding the real itself. That being said, in 1987, I caught a 52 lb cow dolphin (mahi mahi) on an ugly stick and 12 lb test (a bass reel). It took me five and a half hours to get it into the boat and, tore all the muscles in both shoulders. A fish will take a line, dive and then relax. You real in as much line as possible, (What he's wearing is called a fighting belt and gimble. The gimbal rocks in the fighting belt to allow you to move the pole. We also have fighting chairs where you can brace your feet up against them to add leverage.) When a fish is tired, it will actually rest sideways and it's literally impossible to pull a fish up when it is resting sideways. The only time you can get it towards you is when it's nose is faced towards you. They can rest for long periods of time and you have to keep the tension on that line or, you'll lose the fish. Add to that the fact that I didn't think it was worth it to enter the dolphin contest that year, I lost first prize. She was the biggest dolphin brought in that day.

"How much did the shark pay those kids to be a distraction?" ...BEST commentary EVER! 😆

It's not in the movie, but in the original novel, the Mayor is being pressured by the mob to keep the beaches open, because they own property on the island and are trying to keep the values up.

If you watch it through the credits, you'll see Brody and Hooper swimming on the barrel, get out of the water and walk away on land.

Cams girly scream when the severd head appeared from the hole in the boat. Hilarious! Fairly new subscriber. You two young men are hilarious to an old guy like me. Love y'all.

If Jaws launched Steven Spielberg's career, Schindler's List sent it into orbit (and won him an Oscar). Please watch it ASAP.

It was a very lucky capture of a shooting star that was passing by at that moment.

The drunk banter between Quint and hooper, was one of the best scenes, because these guys were bonding, after a shaky start, they actually had respect for each other, but the look on your guy’s faces, you just don’t get it!

Solid 10. It being so old but still as scary but unlike most action films it has great character development, real characters, no over sentimental scenes with tacky music, no guys with sixpacks but real people, the anti-hero we can all relate to becoming the real hero by just doing everything to survive, great scenery and camera work and the soundtrack in amazing. This is what you want in a movie.

This is an early Steven Spielberg film, and in it he captured an actual shooting star in the background. Every film he ever made after this film he included a shooting star cuz he considered it lucky

33:29 That was a shooting star. If you can believe, not CGI or anything. Just a happy accident that there happened to be a real shooting star while filing that scene. Free special effects!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Alot of people don't know this but the barrel system they use to track it with is actually a method of hunting and killing sharks. See Sharks never sleep so their constantly swimming in order to keep breathing, the barrel is meant to tire the shark to the point where it will lose it's strength and die. It takes a CONSIDERABLE amount of energy to swim underwater especially with a air filled barrel stuck to ya, so the shark is constantly swimming down and using up access energy to stay underwater. Eventually the shark becomes too tired and the barrel will force them to the surface. Another reason why sharks dive down is because Sharks are one of the few species in the world that will cannibalism one another if their hungry enough, so they not only dive down for safety but safety from each other.

The name of the boat is Orca. There's a horror movie with that name, too.

18:11 "a tooth the size of a shot glass". I always thought that was the weirdest size comparison to cone up with!

17:30 Jumpscare 😂

That shot of the shark thrashing on top of the cage is an actual great white who got caught in the wires and violently broke free of it. It was such a dramatic moment that they kept it and changed the script.

The man that played quint in this movie, the actor Robert Shaw. You must check out two other amazing performances by him in two other films. Both coming out around 1973. The first one is the Sting, which also stars Robert Redford and Paul Newman. But I think Robert Shaw basically steals the film. Then another gem, the taking of The Taking of the Pelham One Two Three. The original which came out around the same time. These are must reactions. Especially after doing this one. Such an incredible actor. Gone way too soon. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Stopped by to say thx for reaction to Jaws. It’s a classic from 1975. Seeing it as a 10yr old in the theater…. Let’s just say I still sit on beach while grandkids play in the water (making fun of me cause I won’t go in the ocean.). Thx again.

"Fairwell and Adieu to ye fair Spanish ladies.. Fairwell and Adieu to ye ladies of Spain.." ⛱️🦈

The Mayor served his purpose of representing a town too focused on tourism (and with the economics of the 70's, it was no small thing), making highly questionable decisions related to that idea, and eventually getting land-lover Brody locked into boarding the Orca and hunting down the shark. Had this film been a social or political drama, then more time could be spent of the Mayor...but this an action-mystery-thriller, and besides, he really is a secondary character. The same could be said about extending the ending. Watching the surviving victorious heroes swim for the sunset...errr shore was the best ending for this quintessential Summer Blockbuster (one that started and defined the genre). Going back to the Mayor only takes away from the their triumph over a seemingly unstoppable foe.

You guys should read the book. When Crissie is swimming she feels something scratch her leg. She reaches down and can feel her warm blood pouring out of where her once leg was. The mama shark has completely taken it off. Then she thrashes her around, as if she's playing with her food much like a cat would before taking her down. WE❤LOVE ❤YOUR ❤CHANNEL 😊

I used to work at a video store, and on Sundays when the store was packed, I would put this movie on. Everyone would stop and watch because that opening scene is so terrifying. My best friend grew up on the island this was filmed on & didn't go into the water for decades after that.

JAWS is definitely a horror movie. It's for sure a Horror Thriller as a whole because of it's elements all around, I personally like to call it a Horror Adventure movie because that just sounds badass but bottom-line, it should always be celebrated as a horror movie (and just a cinema masterpiece as a whole)

I think it’s a great piece of horror/suspense thriller. It is very character driven. They do a good job at getting you invested. It also has some horrific scenes to be sure. There is a subtle message in there as well about how being a good leader means making decisions that are unpopular and considering the opinions and perspectives of others. Additionally bad leadership can lead to crisis and tragedy.

The shark was named Bruce after Spielberg’s lawyer. Lol, true story.

I think the reason saying why some parts were slow because at the time the editing wasn't very fast pace. But then in 1977 when Star Wars came out, it brought a whole new level of not just special effects and sound, but fast paced editing. Remember my dad telling me that story that on Star Wars saying it was like nothing like i've seen before.

“You’re going to need a bigger boat!!!!!!!!” 49 YEARS AGO TODAY STEVEN SPIELBERG RELEASED HIS NEW MOVIE ON PETER BENCHLEY FAMOUS NOVEL, JAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEXT YEAR JAWS WILL BE CELEBRATING 50 YEARS!!!!!!!!!! We saw this in theaters back in 2020, which was awesome!!!!!!! THE FIRST SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like this aliens, nightmare on elm Street, independence day, robo cop, terminator and the mummy should be everyone's movies growing up especially being born either in the 80's and 90's they are not hard to miss

2:28 - 😂😂😂 4:23 - bruh I’m weak 😂

The poison is strychnine but all poisonous chemical labels have the word " poison" as a requirement in bold letters. The actual name of the contents is above the "poison " label.

This was the very first summer blockbuster movie. I remember seeing it when I was 14 with my best friend and my younger brother (my mom said I had to take him with us). My brother got popcorn and I got a drink. We were so terrified that we couldn’t eat or drink. My friend asked us “are you going to eat that? Are you going to drink that?” So she got everything while we slid further and further down into our seats trying to hide behind the seats in front of us.😂

indianapolis monologue in full Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, chief. It was comin’ back, from the island of Tinian to Laytee, just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn’t see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know how you know that when you’re in the water, chief? You tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know… was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Huh huh. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, chief. The sharks come cruisin’. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it’s… kinda like ol’ squares in battle like a, you see on a calendar, like the battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he’d start poundin’ and hollerin’ and screamin’ and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he’s got…lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eye. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin’ and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’ they all come in and rip you to pieces. Y’know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don’t know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don’t know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin’ chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. He’d been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He’s a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

If you guys want to learn about the Indianapolis there is a book titled In Harms Way.

Top tier. My all time favorite movie. I watch it once a year during July. A lot of theaters play it during July as well. Seen it a few times in theaters, including back in 1975 when I was 5! It still has the power to bring people in and fill the seats up. They did a 3D run for it last year which was really cool.

If you notice in the climax of the movie, you can see the shark missing a tooth which especially shows when he's up by Martin on the pole of the boat. That's where the missing tooth found in Gardener's destroyed boat came from

30:30 Wrong. Different sharks, different eyes. Some look like cat’s eyes. When cage diving with Great Whites, when they came close I could see a very deep blue iris, moving, as it checked things out. From a distance, black, up close, surprisingly different. Inquisitive.

I love that NERF has been transformed into a verb!

10:00 The Greenland shark (or sleeper shark, _Somniosus microcephalus_ ) is the oldest confirmed vertebrate species: *500 years old.* It reaches sexual maturity around age 150. Science didn't know that in 1975.

Yes, the water on the reel is to prevent heat and friction. The one inconsistency, I noticed was that not everyone was wearing gloves while handling the ropes ,which could easily slice up your hands, and leave them vulnerable and useless to assist with the gear.

This was considered the first summer horror blockbuster! It was released in the summertime when standard horror movies were released around October! They beat out all other horror movies that year because they released MONTHS early and the horror movie directly affected a lot of people caused them to fear the ocean and avoid beaches! (Also was extremely popular to show on boardwalks/beach locations because it’s beach themed when most movies that are are soft-core semi romances. The fact that it’s Long Island made it shown it Long Island repeatedly for years even to today during the summer. Also naturally a ton of shark attacks there so it just felt very real for most people Prior to this film very few horror elements ever took place on the sunny beaches. And very few films had music that matched the scenes to create more suspense. Comparably this film always reminded me of birds- just with more music. the setting is normal the ‘villains’ are a basic everyday wild thing that can be dangerous but usually is ignored by the public, public response is the main focus. (It’s just Hitchcock was focused on how the film aesthetically looked and how the plot moved and the suspense of horror and the attacks. while Spielberg was focused on storyline and how all the history weaves into these key moments and had the budget/art to make really nice quality props. His props didn’t work so he couldn’t show the attacks they had to avoid the attack reveals and ended up drawing more and more suspense through the entire film.) I love watching this movie on boats/on the water a movie projector with a good battery and an inflatable screen on calm water tied to the boat you can put in the ocean/lake automatic drive in theater especially if you’ve got friends with jet skis/lil boats! with actual immersion and the waves it’s great.

I Googled it. He is correct, Sharks have no bones.

I’ve lived on Martha’s Vineyard all my life. I remember going down to the beach to watch Spielberg shoot scenes for this movie. My friends and I were never afraid of sharks because we saw Bruce, the mechanical shark, fail all the time.

After telling us Zay has never seen the movie before, he says at 7: 13 "I forgot about the dog- I thought the dog got away safe". Sprung!

most reactors never see them walk out of the water during the credits.

6:04 Yes, Zay. Anyone will get poisoned from drinking too much saltwater. First, you lose your mind, and then you die. You haven't been drinking out of the ocean, have you?

Sad JAWS fact: Not too long after the movie came out JAWS novel author Peter Benchly's maid came in and told him she was taking time off immediately after seeing the movie. Her son served on the Indianapolis, and she just found out how he died. What happened to the Indianapolis was heavily classified when the book was written, and first published, but it was declassified around the time the movie was about to start filming. Not a fun way to find out a horrible fact about the loss of a loved one. Also, the Indianapolis speach as it appeared in the final cut was written by Quint actor Robert Shaw.

24hrs IS like three weeks in terms of lost renevenu, when you make 98 % of your yearly proffits in three months.

10:00 the Greenland shark clocks in at 500 years and reaches sexual maturity at around 100 years.

Fun fact - one of the kids with the fake fin is now Chief of Police in the main town on Martha's Vineyard.

This is one of, if not the best movie ever made. I was there opening weekend. And wouldn't go swimming in a pool alone. First time I ever saw line ups like this. One for ticket purchases, and then one for ticket holders. It as packed and SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER was born. What is more amazing is the books THE JAWS LOG, and THE MAKING OF JAWS. What an amazing books. First film ever to be filmed on the actual ocean. No CGI. Music was amazing. From scary music to adventure music. Which is why John Williams is John Williams. And this like Speilbergs third film and possibly his last. But instead. It gave him licence to make movies for years to come...his way. Read the Books I've mentioned above. Many film makers who have come up have said those books were like their bibles. 10 out of 10. - Toronto, Canada. PS: I can't stress enough how those books I mention above are. Amazing. This film went on for months, where Steven thought he would be fired, or the crew would kill him. Trouble upon trouble. Read those books. Also when you guys watch and record yourselves you need to talk. But if you were invested like watching the movie in silence. The ending might have been more of a relief. Cause that's how we felt in the Audience. We were exhausted. It ended perfect.

Best reaction to this movie EVER. Stay cool, guys.

Spielbergs camerawork here is ABSOLUTE BOSS! Jaws is a masterpiece, but easily overlooked as such because it is a blockbuster. Jaws 2 is far from these things, but it is a fairly decent movie.

Susan Backline at her audition : " You have 3 lines Chrissy , Swimming and come on in the water.

Zay: are those coconut crabs? Cam: Have you never seen a coconut crab? Lmao, definitely not coconut crabs.

If you ever watch the Spielberg failure called "1941" - it makes a reference to this film. I loved that failure!!!!

1. Jaws was the first "Summer Blockbuster". 2. Boy Scouts don't need to do the mile swim to get their merit badge. It's an accomplishment all its own. 3. Lee Fierro/Mrs. Kentner actually slapped Roy Scheider. It took 17 takes. Once was so hard it knocked his glasses off. 4. The jump scare at Ben Gardner's boat was put in on purpose by Spielberg because they were having problems with the shark "Bruce" and his appearance was delayed, and the movie needed something earlier. Works every time.🤣🤣 5. IRL Dreyfuss and Shaw didn't get along, so Spielberg used the animosity to fuel their feud onscreen. 6. The boy that said, "He made me do it' is now the Police Chief of the town where this movie was filmed. 7. Hooper was wrong. The fish that hit the line was "our fish". 8. "You're gonna need a bigger boat" is one of the greatest adlibs in history. It was the first time Roy actually saw Bruce. It was an ongoing trope within the filming due to budgetary problems. 9. Goof: An animal that large couldn't hit the side of the boat as rapidly as it did UNDER WATER. 10. I suspect Quint's story about the Indy gave him PTSD flashbacks and contributed to his behavior after he told the story. 11. I was in the Navy, and we were instructed to go for the eyes when confronting a shark. 12. Aside from the pool used in the Ben Gardner boat scenes, all of the shipboard scenes were filmed entirely at sea, 13. In the book not only does Hooper die but he was also having an affair with Mrs. Brody. 14. JAWS II is the only other one worth watching. It revolves around the Brody kids and their friends. Including the mayor's son. 15 The third one was so bad that Scheider read the script and said NO.

My mom took me to see this at a reshowing at a drive-in back in '81, I was around 5yrs old. I fell in love with the movie and the shark. As a result I learned all I could about sharks, which lead me to dinosaurs. ❤️ To this day, to me, sharks a adorable and beautiful. You might see what I mean when if you check out vids of people, in the real world, hanging out with, feeding, petting and chilling with various kinds of sharks! If you love this film, btw, I HIGHLY recommend the 30th anniversary documentary of the making of the film. It's as good as the film! Great reaction!

It's Martha's Vineyard. My family and I started going on vacation there two years after Jaws came out (luckily I didn't see it until 1978.) I remember putting our car on the car ferry and riding over...

Greenland sharks are known to live at least 272 years, which makes them the vertebrate with the longest known lifespan. Tortoises are known to live about 150 years.

I didn’t notice till this viewing… quint’s arm flying through the air after the shark blew up….

Blathering through the single most legendary monologue in move history.

36:38 note the name of the boat, Orca, is also the name of a movie that came later which is about an orca on a killing spree.

I had to pause this at 4:00 to comment on the first scene up to this point. First of all... the dude was drunk and passed out on the beach when she went into the water. He was worthless to help her. Also you guys made me laugh when she grabbed the buoy and you guys said "Climb on it." LOL at that point she didn't have any legs left or they were mangled at least. It's a huge Great White Shark ! - It's ok. I still gave your video a thumbs up and I will now watch the rest. 😉

Quint is basically Capt Ahab by the end.
