4:03 “Tellin you he can’t with 3 barrels on him, not with 3 he can’t!!!” The increasing anger and lack of confidence in quint is what makes this scene so scary
You’re right. And the whole movie, we learn that Quint is an unflappable man of the sea who’s seen some of the worst things imaginable (as he talks about during his USS Indianapolis story) and is not at all afraid of a shark anymore. However, in that one line, you can feel it in his wavering voice: this one, this monster, is different. Kudos to the late Robert Shaw for this master class performance.
To me, he lost his confidence when hooper asks him "you've ever had one do this before?" To which Quint replies with "don't know". He didn't wanna say no but he knew that was the correct answer.
My parents took me to see it when I was 6, because my dad claimed I liked sharks. My sister said it was because the whole family was going; including my sisters who usually babysat me, and my parents didn't want to pay for a babysitter for me. I remember being terrified to state of panic, and refusing to even go on the beach for our next year's vacation. Gotta love 70's parents.
My buddy at the time went to Hawaii for a family vacation. His 15 year old sister refused to go in the ocean the entire 3 weeks. Completely freaked out from seeing JAWS 2 weeks earlier
My mom told me when Jaws first came out in the theaters, a lot of people were panicking and not wanting to go into the ocean and swim. And if I remember correctly, I think I also heard sometime after the movie came out, somebody got attacked by a shark and somebody went after it on their own and they ended up getting the wrong shark
I was 7 parents took me to the drive in to see it , scarred me for life I'm still scared to death of sharks and the ocean and don't live within 800 miles of any ocean lol
I love the little chaos of this scene. Trying to tow him in, then trying to untie both the cleats before they break all the while the boat itself's being towed by the shark and all the shouting. For some reason things like that, especially in older movies, look and sound pretty cool.
I think the most awe inspiring shot in this entire scene is seeing the shark just turn the boat and the camera pulls back to show it off. It adds to so much of the chaos unfolding. We witness how powerful the shark is and the impossible situation these men are in. No music is added because it's just that good.
Hooper going, “impossible, ITS IMPOSSIBLE!!” Is still to this day one of my favorite lines in any movie. He’s a shark expert. What he’s witnessing flies in the face of all his knowledge and logic, and it’s terrifying to him.
@TheViolent1 I like that too. In a sense, Brody was the odd man out. He was the noob out of his depth that was just good for chumming and the real experts were going to handle this. The shark turned them all into Brody.
@darmok72 the remix on the Blu-ray/4K releases changes the whale cry back to the original but everything else is still much the same as the remix from the original DVD. I’ll take the mono.
The updated soundtrack feel a lot more sharper. I can’t complain. But I prefer the whale bellow during the Indianapolis scene from the prior release before the BluRay.
@Ben Fizz That doesn't even bother me. The whole film is a master class in acting. Especially when the Three set sail on the Orca. Epic tale of man vs beast.
I heard that this was the first major movie made on the open sea. Had Spielberg used the big North Hollywood tanks to film, it wouldn't have had the same visceral impact on audiences. Despite all the problems and hazards of being on the Atlantic Ocean, it became a worldwide success story.
I think the best shot of the shark was the shot where it roars out of the water at Quint when he's pulling in the rope. The close shot on his hands. If you freeze frame that shot the shark looks amazing. But it is so short.
I guess he got tiered and then after resting he pulled harder as a fisherman myself I can say that fish rest for about 5 seconds and then you feel like your being pulled in the water
@@toyanthaog5109 Because I work in the industry and I know what to look for. If you ever watch the movie Duel in a theater you can see Steven sitting in the back of Dennis Weavers car nearly full frame. Because the television version had its aspect ratio chopped for television but in the theater prints it was full frame. With Jaws its just an unfortunate bob of the Orca window.
What gets me is that shark is literally 30 feet long? Basically bigger than the boat, and hooks in his skin with 3 barrels with it, and the shark drags the boat in the water like it's nothing." Crazy." This is not just a shark they are dealing with. This is the serial killer of sharks
@@RiversCarmack It's really not. A 35ft great white would be about twice as heavy as a 25ft shark. It'd be immediately obvious upon first viewing that there's a massive size discrepancy.
@@mikeowen7526 ... You said it. Very few pay attention to things like how the tone of the sound effects impact the shock art of the film. You can include the all the barrel effects, the water hiss from the money shot of the shark lunging at the chumming Brody, the theme music thundering bass line, the grinding thuds from the shark attacking the Orca at night, and the spectacular ending , all fantastic mono as it was in the theater in 75. Stop fixing whats not broken.
The success of a special effect is measured not by its reality but by its effectiveness. That’s why CGI looks real but feels fake and stop motion (and other practical effects like animatronics) looks fake, but feels real. Ray Harryhausen made that observation so I credit him.
It sounds like a roar (does it twice) but its supposed to be rushing water when he's come fast out of the sea. I suspect the psychological effect is to make it seem like he's roaring.
I'm disabled, can't swim so even after watching this movie, I used to love sitting on the sand where the water would wash up on me and sometimes it was pretty high. Apparently I didn't pay attention when the movie brought out that sharks can attack in 3 feet of water. I later heard that in an video and that they can beach themselves trying to catch food. Now I no longer desire to sit that close to the water.
It still would have died over a few days, with three barrels. Plus, it can no longer approach the beach unnoticed. They had already won by this point, but Quint got greedy.
@@Brolly5 It could only stay submerged for some time. It would eventually tire. Plus, it can no longer approach the shore undetected, so it can't really consume people anymore.
@SavageArfad To me that always sounded like the vacuum produced by its giant mouth being replaced with air from water. Doesn't sound like a roar at all. The shark in Jaws the revenge sounds like an elephant or a dinosaur roaring. Quite ridiculous.
"Untie us! He'll pull out the transom!" It's incredible to think that the shark is stronger than the boat, to be able to pull her like she weighs nothing.
I remember seeing this when I was probably 5 or 6 in the early 2000's. I was terrified of puddles and our nanas pool for awhile but then got used to it after awhile. I know this'll sound stupid, but when I was 10, I would fantasize about being on the Orca helping them hunt and kill the shark and saving Quint from death. I know people will make fun of me for saying this next part but I don't care... I still daydream about it too this day and I feel no shame. None whatsoever! :)
Sqeakyfir No reason you should feel any shame. You're a person who puts yourself into the minds of the characters and cares about them. That's responsible movie watching.
It's a foreshadowing of what's gonna happen later in the movie: Quint gets bit by the Shark, and tries to save himself,using the machete to stab the shark on his face.
Its not a roar!! I would call it more like the vacuum of its giant mouth being cleared of water. The shark in Jaws the revenge ROARS like a LION!! Its ridiculous.
@GeraldTheBusDriver I would love to have been at that script meeting. "Ok.. I think we need to have the shark ROAR here.. (Roar??) yeah roar.. Like he's angry like he's ready to fight a great big roar like a lion sharks roar right?....... ? can't they roar?
@GeraldTheBusDriver Bruce in Jaws?? Doesn't roar. And there is no way in the world that Steven would be dumb enough to ask for it. What you're hearing is a sound effect a Whooosh as the shark opens its giant mouth. That's not a roar.
1:43 Quint: At Home We Got A Taxidermy Man! He's Gonna Have A Heart Attack When He See What I Brung Him! (laughs) 2:04/2:05 Chief Brody: He's Eating His Way Right Through That Line 2:33 Hooper: I Can't! He's Trying To Run! 3:16 Hooper: Cut It, Quint! I Can't Hold It!
Из ранних набросков Спилберга, ему предлагали такой сценарий мол это «детёныш мегалодона» а Хуппер был «исследователем акул-доисторических», ну и в фильме делался акцент на то что эта акула доисторическая мегалодон, поэтому и величина такая и сила такая, а ещё был грустный финал когда акула убивала хупера в клетке далее квинта и под конец Броуди, далее кровавый закат и плавник уходит на линию горизонта ! (Но такой финал сразу отмели в Голливуде, жирные дядьки толстосумы) на Хороший финал больше людей в кино пойдут! Аналогия с РЭМБО, в конце фильма Траутманн убивает Рэмбо, логичный финал, от опять таки все переделали в хорошую концовку !
You do actually at the end of the movie when quint is trying to kick away from his pov you can see then behind the shark and when the shark is coming near Hooper when he was in the cage from above the water
You can also seem them in the long shot during the climax of the mast sinking in the foreground and the shark coming forward in the background (when Brody whispers “Blow Up!”). Oddly though you only see two barrels. Barrel three appears to be lost somewhere.
@@lyndoncmp5751 I've heard that explanation and I don't buy it. The timing of the shark opening it's mouth and the sound you hear makes it pretty clear that it's a roar. Don't forget that Jaws was originally intended to be a monster movie. Spielberg, himself, said so. Artistic licence deviates from fact, by the way. And we know sharks don't roar. So, yes. It is artistic licence.
For ordinary Great Whites, that’s correct. But Jaws is ANYTHING but ordinary, as Hooper constantly reminds us. I’ve always saw the idea being that Jaws is a genetic freak of nature shark; a Beast that operates beyond just basic instinct of normal great whites & has obtained an unquenchable taste for blood no matter the species. As one of the film’s taglines says: “It LIVES To Kill!” Plus if we go by the stats of the inferior-but-still-entertaining sequels, the 3rd film’s shark is a confirmed 35-foot Female, whereas “Bruce” here is only 25-feet. So yes, I still stand by the Original Jaws is an abnormally large Male, same as the ones from Parts 2 & 4. The 3rd is the Only female, and clearly the Largest. Just Some food for thought, no pun intended lol
Used to be used in the 1960s and 1970s. Only for very big ones. Frank Mundus used the harpoon and barrel method when he caught the 4,500 pounder in 1964 that inspired Peter Benchley to later write Jaws. He put two harpoons and barrels into it.
Here's something that bothers me: we saw them harpoon one barrel earlier to the shark. The next day, they harpooned two more barrels to it, making it three. However, right now, we only see two barrels. There's one barrel missing!
The first barrel came loose when they were trying to rope the line out of the water and the shark appeared and startled them. Either in the midst of the chaos the rope tore off the harpoon, the harpoon somehow dislodged itself from the shark or the shark bit threw the rope when it when back under water. You can see Hooper putting the barrel away when he sees Quint smashing the radio. So no by the time they tied the barrels to the cleats there was only two attached to the shark with a third attached just before the shark starts tugging the boat.
My mom was pregnant and 18 when my mom seen jaws there was two boys sitting behind my mom they scared my mom my mom was soo scared what a great classic movie
Jaws was the first movie i ever saw in the theater. Always in my Top 3. Seen the movie 1000X easy. Just noticed an INCONSISTENCY though:) In the famous transom/barrel scene. Check this out. At 1:15, there are only 2 barrels left in the on deck Orca chute. The 3rd barrel hadn't been rigged up and shot yet, so there should have still been 3 barrels on deck. At 2:15 Quint fires another dart-barrel into Bruce. The sequence unfolds from 2:15-2:40, culminating in barrel 3 flying over the bridge and Brody and into the ocean. Then a wide shot reveals the true barrel count: 2. Just noticed this lol.
