JAWS (1975) MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING! 

We hope you enjoy this Reaction Video. Jaws is a truly well crafted classic from the 70s. Watch our review at the end. It’s still very impressive. This is a re-upload because the first one we uploaded had glitches and we wanted to fix them. And then whilst we were doing that, we also did a re-edit of the whole reaction with more scenes and tighter cuts. We also adjusted the volume on the clips and reduced the opacity so it now has a better sound mix and better colour grade. We felt the film deserves this.

That jump scare will never not be funny lol.

Love the way you kept looking over to see if he was ok.

"She shouldn't have given him an extra 10 min!" 😂🤣 Rip Alex kintner

The story that Quint told about the USS Indianapolis was a real event.

20 Seconds into the movie: "Someone's gonna die." 40 Seconds into the movie: "Alright, she's dead." lol love it.

I was ten when I first saw Jaws. All these years later it still stands up. The second half of the film is some of the best acting you’ll ever see by three terrific actors! After all of these years it’s nice to see the young people still jumping when Bens head pops out of the boat!

The Amity Island Police hoodie is a nice touch, dad.

I had to pause at 5:23 with the “goodbye Chrissy” because I was laughing so hard. That was GOLDEN! Thank you so much, I adore you.

Trivia: When Jaws was first released in 1975, a woman, after seeing the film, ran screaming down Broadway in New York, believing she was being chased by a great white shark. And that's the tooth....:)

Wow guys, this is the absolute best reactions I've ever seen of this film. Not just two generations in one!, but well done on the edit in keeping in reference to most scenes and keeping in the majority of the memorable lines. You guys are class. Subscribed. Thank you and keep up the the good work.

As a Gen-X, I fully appreciate the unnerving sensation of fingernails on a chalkboard. Gen-Alpha, with their white-boards / smart-boards and distance-learning options are deprived of this CPTSD trigger as well as chalk-dust induced asthma attacks.

You know it’s a good movie when it can scare multiple generations of people from getting into the ocean, for literal decades. My mom saw this when she was 13/14 years old and is forever scared of the ocean/sharks because of it. I’m only 25 but when I saw this as a kid in the early 2000s it instilled the same fear into me! I swear I can’t get into any body of water without that fear of imagining that freakin shark swimming under me. One of the best movies ever

While you can tell the shark is not real in some scenes, in two particularly - the very first time you see him above the water in the pond when he pulls the man under after knocking him out of the boat and when he breaks through the window into the boat after eating Quint - he looks absolutely real. They did an excellent job with the practical effects.

One of the things that ups the lightning-in-a-bottle quality of this films is that the only “actors” in this films are the three leads, Brody’s wife and Deputy, and the Mayor. Everyone else are just locals. The coroner in the film was the town coroner. Alex Kintner’s mother was a schoolteacher. All of the kids were just local kids.

The girl in the beginning said later that she almost did drown, because they were thrashing her around so much. Love Grandma Debbie

The admiration and appreciation shown in your eyes for every aspect of this film as you watched is totally relatable. Amazing that the film still holds up very very well. It’s fascinating that although your boy knows quite well that Bruce is an animatronic, his investment in the story and the thrills never dwindled. Great reaction video.

I love on your son's comment, Chrissy says "swimming" your son says "she's dead".

1 hour in and your boy freaked a little bit with Quint's passing. I don't mind saying that it's the SCENE, that haunts the nightmares of children because it haunted my own dreams for years. The Best information to offer, is that we human beings are just one link in the chain of being, we're on the food chain. when we enter the Oceans we are at the bottom of the food chain. which should give your son the right ideas and caution when dealing with every part of nature.

What a great dad experiencing the classic of Jaws with your little one. I was roughly his age when our dad took us to see it in the theater in 1975. Iconic. We all noticed you were just as engrossed as your son. Great film. Thx

Grand reaction lads!!! I saw this movie in 1975 at 10 years old,..and the movie was so scary,.. people were running out of the theater screaming and vomiting. Jaws is the prime example of stress building and tension. A true masterclass movie. The best of its time. Best jump scare in movie history. Thank you kindly😀🔥✌️

I heard a story about the woman in the opening scene that she was actually really hurt by the apparatus that was pulling her around so... it ended up being pretty realistic.

Hello! There are many things I like in this Video.... For example: The "Amity Police" Hoodie, that you explain things to your kid calmly and that you keep an eye on how your child reacts in certain situations and asking if everything is okay etc.! An intelligent child and a great, cool dad! I like that! Thank you for this really cool Video!😊

Side trivia- the news reporter on the beach is played by the author of the “Jaws” novel. And I’m pretty sure they filmed this in the winter and all the beach scenes were actually cold 🥶 but the extras had to act like it was a hot summer day.

Thanks for making me feel really ancient by looking back at a Blu-ray disk with nostalgia. 🙂

Hey Kid, In the best selling book, that this movie is based on, both Quint and Hooper get killed by the Shark.

I truly believe that its absolutely fabulous that father & son share JAWS!! The 1st movie that my father had shared with me was THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY.

‘Bits of Quint stuck in his teeth’ ‘I was trying not to notice that’ (thx Dad lol😅) your son is very bright btw, very perceptive. But that jumpscare gets everybody!

This was such a joy. Seeing a father and son, watching great films, while learning how to interpret visual storytelling. Keep this up, the young one may become a phenomenal filmmaker ( no pressure lol).

Saw it at 8yrs old im 36 now and still dont swim in a pool by myself lol or get fear in lakes wont go past waist level or oceans past my legs lol

Love the concept of your reaction channel, especially seeing you both spend quality time growing a mutual passion for film. I’ve seen a few of your reactions so far and your son is already so perceptive about film making techniques and observing subtle things like how long someone is portrayed in a scene. One of the things I love the most is seeing you taking time to stop and discuss important issues and/or feelings that come up along the way, using the films not just for entertainment, but as opening opportunities to teach and spark discussions about life and people and feelings, as well as the craft of and appreciation for filmmaking and acting. I love how you are always watching and gushing if your son is okay and being mindful if he needs a break or to talk through any issues. Finally I love that while you are clearly observant in moments where there might be adult content or context or concept (whether related to sex or violence or other more adult topics) and noticing his reaction and balancing how much, if any, discussion might be needed and being age appropriate, not over emphasizing the moments or concepts and making them more weighty than necessary when there is no escaping him noticing, while also recognizing that there are moments and concepts that kids won’t even recognize as having adult concept that often go right over their head without even noticing them and this need no comment even if you notice them. All around love the bond you both have. Thank you for sharing your reactions and giving us a glimpse into these experiences you are sharing.

You are seriously me trying to get everyone I know to understand how epic this movie is. Most people just don't get it. I finally got my husband to watch at our local theater when they were playing old stuff during pandemic. He loved it, but still missed all the nuance! Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain..

I'm a good swimmer, not very fast but with good technique, I can also rescue people properly. I was a biology student at the beginning of the 90s and one of my teachers was a zoologist, not a marine biologist but with experience in ichtyology (fish biology). He showed us some pictures of a diver, one arm and the head missing. He collaborated with the navy authority to determine the cause of death of the diver. It was a single bite from a big white shark, the arc of the bite gave away a size of about 4 meters long. This was in Chile, this is proof of the cosmopolitan distribution of white sharks. They have known feeding grounds but they basically migrate worldwide. THIS gave me nightmares. Great review guys!

I was a little older than your son when Jaws came out and we all went to see it. My sister who was younger has not gone in the ocean since

I remember when it came out. It was released in the summer and people vacationing at the beach would not go into the ocean.

Fun reaction. Good appreciation of the art of movie making, and how Spielberg avoided horror cliches. I also appreciate the concern for the young person's sensitivities. Good parenting.

I live in Adelaide South Australia Ron and Valerie Tailor filmed most of the underwater shots in SA. When the movie came out at one of the local shopping malls they had a great white shark on display in the back of a refrigerated semi trailer. There was a door on each end and the trailer had a big sheet of glass through the middle so you could walk through. The shark was on the other side of the glass. It was dead of course and placed in an underwater pose like it was swimming. It was huge and terrifying just knowing that this shark could have been swimming in the water when I used to swim at the beach. It was that day I swore never to swim in the ocean again. But I do think that the sea is the sharks home and if a surfer or swimmer gets taken we should not kill the shark. I think if you choose to go in the ocean you do it at your own risk. Great reaction to the movie.👍🏻👍🏻🦈

Peter Benchley based this on the true story of a shark attack in New Jersey in 1916. It somehow went up a river and attacked swimmers. It attacked five people, one of them died. Love Grandma Debbie

This is my all-time favorite movie! I fell in love with Jaws as a kid, and I also became fascinated with sharks, as well as all ocean life! Great reaction! 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

The part where Brody told the mayor that the mother wasn't wrong is probably my favorite part of the movie because it says a lot about Brody himself. He could've easily passed the blame to the mayor but felt ala Harry Truman that the buck stops here. No matter how the decision to keep the beaches open was made and who was involved in making that decision Brody felt that it was his responsibility to keep that boy safe and he failed to do so.

I was 12 when it came out and I had nightmares for 3 days.

Now you should watch Robert Shaw (Quint) in The Deep. It's pretty good too. Saw Jaws in the theaters when I was 11. I live near a beach and I will barely go into the water anymore because of this movie.

I was a Junior in college when I first saw this. When that head came through the bottom of the boat I about lost my cookies! 😊

When I was 10 years old, my 16 year old sister, had snuck me in to see JAWS!! I, in return I introduced my son to JAWS, when he was 12!! A shared horror experience!

Love all the mouthed quotes lol. Jaws is my favorite movie and I can quote is backwards and forwards. Really have to hold myself back when watching with others. A whaaaa?

"This is a re-upload" - I thought I was going crazy!

"The shark's gonna go to the pond instead" Yep he already knows a thing or two about storytelling through film... "nevermind whenever that happens it means the shark is there" ...but not everything.

Saw this the first time you posted. I'm enjoying your reactions, and glad to see you're introducing your son to these older movies. It's something I wish more parents did with their children or nieces/nephews, both in film and in music. It'll expand their mind, and give them a different view of the world - AND - it's a great bonding experience for you which not all parents do enough of. May I suggest the film "E.T. The Extraterrestrial"? I saw it as a child and it had a profound impact on me. I'd be curious to know if it still has an impact on Gen Alpha.

38:02 "it's quite gruesome for the [pause] age that supposed to watch this." -Dad 😆😆😆

Saw many times at the theater, one of my all time favorites, the book is great also, thanks

I just found your channel and enjoy these reactions! It is really nice seeing both sides react to movies - some I watched for the first time as a kid too!

I loved how you set this up.

That kid is pretty sharp. Good job to the parents.

This played at our local Drive in for months back in 1975🎉❤

I saw the movie when it came out. I was 5 years old. I remember not going into the ocean that summer when we went to my grandparents in Florida.

"Goodbye Chrissy!" 😂😂😂😂

That shark was just being a shark. It's the people being people that are the real horror in this movie.

Watched Jaws at about 10 or 12 maybe? Yeah, didn't have nightmares but I couldn't sleep with my feet hanging off the bed or pull the plug out of the bath before I got out of it for years after watching the film! 🤣 Oh & I went on to study, practice & teach filmmaking & we often use the famous 'Trumbone' shot & Spielberg's use of music, mystery & suspense as a tool, what u can't see is often scarier than what u can see, of course the shark is not really seen in the first half of the movie because they had technical problems with it & it forced the filmmakers to build suspense in a really creative way, I think it's fantastic. Love the hoodie btw!

i want to ask the young smart adult if he would ever go jogging and playing in the jungle???...Then why in the BIG BEN would you go swimming and playing in the ocean!!! Life lessons here, im giving ya pearls. You two are fantastic and you might want to check out Spielbergs 1st real movie Duel. It was before Jaws and it was a made for TV movie in the usa, so its not bloody and no swearing. It's a very good movie

Clearly no filters on the kid.

Most reactors don't know that Michael is not talking about the coffee that you drink. That always say he's too young for coffee. It's like they don't know that there's a coffee falvored icecream.

Kiddo, you are sharp! I do believe you called each kill and caught the clue about camera time on the doomed. I was 7 when this movie came out, and it was my first favorite movie. I loved it and I still do. I was rooting for the shark, which says a lot about the kind of little girl I was.... I wanted to explain the Mayor and the townspeople's attitude about closing the beaches. Most people assume its about greed but its more complicated than that. As he said on the ferry, "Amity is a summer town. We need summer dollars." 99% of Amity's businesses have three months to make a year's worth of profits. When the lady at the meeting shouts, "Twenty four hours is like three weeks!", she's correct. The Mayor is responsable for Amity's wellbeing and he wants to be reelected. He does not want to be remembered as the guy who financially tanked the town. Also, you may remember the reporter saying, "We've never had a shark attack in these waters!" And, the tiger shark was confirmed as rare for the area. So there was reason to believe the right shark had been caught and it was time to move on. When we see the Mayor freaking out at the hospital later, he is truly coming to grips with the fact he was wrong, AND not only endangered the public but his own kids as well. His character is really very layered, and if he is a villian, he's an unintentional one. He is more guilty of bad judgement than outright evil.

Loved this Reaction Video. I was 12 when my Grandmother gave me Jaws to read, I had a very cool Grandmother. It was the only book I had ever read cover to cover at that stage. When I was 14 I got my first surfboard, with 3 Mates I went to Forster on the north coast of NSW. The first day there it was pouring down with rain so we decided to go to the movies before going to the beach. Yep, Jaws had just come out. Worst decision ever. We were all too scared to go any further into the surf than about 10 meters. We all destroyed our surf boards on the pebbled shore line. My Grandmother also gave me Midnight Express and Deliverance, luckily I didn't play the banjo or frequent Turkish prisons. Great Movie and Great reaction Sir and young Master Sir. Love from Great White Central. NSW Australia

Sharks do exist in British waters it's just that they aren't as common in those seas as southern warm waters.

Nice pull over'' Keep up the great work guys

I just noticed your sweatshirt. "Amity Police - cool

"What about that poor guy who had his leg taken?" That's the least of sharkpoop's worries 🤣🤣

Spielberg really is amazing. I think the dolly-out zoom-in is from Hitchcock. One Spielberg scene that comes to mind that is pretty astonishing is the cliff scene in The Lost World...and the last few minutes of Poltergeist when everything just goes crazy, although on paper he didn't direct that film. haha Some directors can tackle such complex scenes and others can take command of such large sets, but nowadays it feels like that is a rarity.

"Goodbye Crissy" LOL I laughed so hard

You're a good father.

Sharks do surround the uk. The Thames has even had several sightings of sharks.

Congrats on 2k subs . It may not sound like much , but it takes some channels years to get that many .

Your son seems quite intelligent, and I admire how you ask him questions on his conclusions for you to get him to deepen his analytical abilities. Excellent parenting, if I were 30 years younger, I would apply this with my kids.

Classic movie

Jaws board game, amazing.

Well she's a smart lil thing, ain't she? Great work dad!

Great vid guys have subbed. We're going to need a bigger boat 😂

You guys should watch Super 8. It gets a lot of criticism from some quarters, but it's one of my favourite movies. How does a group of teenagers deal with an insane situation?

My kids started watching Jaws at 10 they loved it and they have watched Sharknado. I think kids hate to say, grow up a little fast these days and can take it.

I recommend you react to a movie called "The Cowboys." It's a western featuring John Wayne and Bruce Dern, but the main characters are a bunch of boys around your son's age. It's a great coming-of-age film that I think you will both enjoy.

I was 13 when it came out, after seeing it, I was wary of even going into the local pool. it really affected a lot of people, young, or old. a classic indeed. always will remember this one. /Cheers👽💚🛸 look for close encounters of the third kind as well another Spielberg thriller.

A must see movie. INDIANAPOLIS: MEN OF COURAGE. Also the film, MISSION OF THE SHARK.

"This is a re-upload because the first one we uploaded had glitches and we wanted to fix them. And then whilst we were doing that, we also did a re-edit of the whole reaction with more scenes and tighter cuts. We also adjusted the volume on the clips and reduced the opacity so it now has a better sound mix and better colour grade. We felt the film deserves this." Sounds good as long as you don't have an extended music sequence in Jabba's palace or have Greedo shoot first while saying "Maclunkey"...

Titanic and now Jaws, dad is really trying to inflict fear of oceans of water into the kid, just kidding😊

He’s old enough. My parents took me with them to the drive-in to see it when I was 2 1/2 years old. Of course, I wouldn’t even get in the bathtub until I was 12.

Hooper trying to reason with a politician. 🤔

1:00:41 no it's not a knife it's a toothpick

This kid's gonna be scarred for life!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Quint was played by great English actor, Robert Shaw . He was also in The Sting in a much smaller role, another excellent movie you & your son could watch. I saw this film when it first came out, after reading the book. Theater was packed. I was 17 and we lived in Long Island where our main street was a block away from our marina. After the movie, ppl left the theater walking or running as far as possible from the view of the bay. With the beaches so near to us, it took quite a while to get back into the water. Seems like you enjoy good filmmaking (composition of shots, etc.) Thanks for your reactions! Enjoyable!

The news man is atuay Steven Spielberg !!

If u watch jaws in/on rewind. He is just a nice shark that gives people legs

14 years and up is appropriate.

Great reaction guys! Please do another Spielberg classic, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, with Richard Dreyfus ( Hooper here ).

20:57 As the father of a 12-year-old daughter myself, I understand your reaction. It's funny 😂

I am enjoying your reactions, its nice to see different perspectives of younger people and people more my age 🙌🏻✌🏻 Anybody mistake you for ben affleck batman 🤩🦇 Looking forward to more reactions, hope to see some old Kung fu movies🤞🏻 jackie chan 🇬🇧✨😎🦈

Megalodon next then😂👌🏻🦈

SCUBA: Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Thank you Jacques Yves Cousteau

oh my goodness I thought I was losing the plot then untill I read it was a re-upload ... phew :)

The old coupe is the mayor's parents and chidren

Chief Brody was honorable when the mom slapped him . Besides him blaming the mayor he let speak her mind and took the fall for it.
