The second phone line was for police business only. There was no call waiting back then, or cell phones, so he would've needed a dedicated line for police calls since he was the Chief of Police.
fun fact: during a break, roy scheider and the little boy were sitting together. he started to copy his movements just like at the table, the director saw and it and said, lets put it in!
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
Great video! Jaws is truly a masterpiece that redefined the thriller genre. The suspense, the score, and those iconic shark scenes still hold up today. Spielberg’s direction and the incredible performances by Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss make it an unforgettable experience. This film had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Thanks for the deep dive into such a classic!
In April 2019 I managed to see this in a theatre (as in one that normally exhibits stage musicals, rather than movies) in which the film was shown being projected onto the back wall of the stage - but with all of John Williams' music being played by a Czech orchestra. I just happened to have a seat behind the conductor and I could see that he had a screen that had a countdown to when he needed to bring in the next bit of music. The experience with a live orchestra playing the music made it all extra-special.
While I did have the opportunity to see this in cinema about 10-12 years ago, I'd absolutely LOVE to watch it with a live orchestra. I can only imagine the enhancement it would bring to the cinematic experience.
Lots of films have been getting that kind of treatment, such as at the Barbican Theatre in London last month, in which they exhibited _Batman_ (1989) getting that kind of treatment, with Danny Elfman's music being played by a live orchestra (it was a special re-release to commemorate the film's 35th anniversary). Be warned that this live-orchestra experience comes at a price -literally! Such showings will cost more than a regular cinema ticket.
I really like this one. Love Robert Shaw's monologue "...like a dolls eyes." My son and I throw pieces of that monologue around at appropriate times to crack each other up. I think I know it by heart by now.
My family went to the theatre to see this movie...my late mother damn near dislocated my arm when the dead face appeared in the sunken boat at the 17:00 minute mark of your video lol
Haha I have never known of someone who wasn't got by that moment. I often say I wish I could have gone back in time to watch this film when it was first released
Oh my, i remember this movie scaring the ever loving bejeesus out of me! I never knew about the author saying he never would have written this if he could have seen the future for sharks. Im with you on the staying out of anywhere a shark could be, a big cup of nope, nope, nopity nope for my coward self😊. Really enjoyed the way you both compliment each other, she is such an insightful, lovely lady, thank you both for the video and thoughtful commentary, happy weekend everyone.

I really enjoy your reactions with your gf. T2 will be a really fun one. Btw there's a RU-vid video of a diver who is really good chums with a shark, I believe it's a tiger shark. "A whaaaaat?" But it brings certainly a different view of shark behavior and they've been friends for like a decade. Sweet video.
Wow, you saw this when you were seven?! I remember my dad and grandpa talking about this movie after they went to see it when it came out. I was six and I asked them if I could see it and they said no way. Lol I would have had nightmares.
To be fair I may have been a bit young to watch it. I don't know how this film was only PG. The "IT" miniseries, now that really fucked me up as a child!
PG-13 wasn't a thing until the 80s. The movie that gave me nightmares was a movie made for kids. It was the 1973 Tom Sawyer movie when Injun Joe pushes a guy into a grave and stabs him. It was the sound of it. There was another old Tarzan movie where one tribe was ripping people of another tribe in half. THAT gave me big time nightmares. Now I'm wondering why I was watching stuff like that. Lol
I hope to see a first time reaction to The Thing (1982) and Alligator (1980) and Tremors (1990) and Child's Play (1988) and Pumpkinhead (1988) and Predator (1987) and Predator 2 (1990) and Terminator 2 Judgement Day (1991) as well:).
When this movie came out my dad owned a fishing boat out of Oceaside California. While many people became afraid of the ocean because of this movie others wee afraid and curious ,AND they wanted to see a large Great White shark for themselves.. For a short bit people would pay me to take them out looking for one. A few times I came across a 17 foot long female Great White off of San Clemente Island and while she wasn't as big as "Bruce" in the movies 25 feet in length she still impressed them with her size.
I hope you didn't "need a bigger boat" when coming upon that shark ;-] That is class that you came upon such a massive shark. Thrilling and terrifying in equal measure I would imagine.
@@IrishGuyReacts I was happy she hung around the same area.. To this day I'd still feed her out of thanks. The weather conditions changed making the ocean un pleasant so I stopped taking people out and when the weather cleared she'd moved on. the Orca had it's problems it was a lobster boat that was 't designed to have the tall mast which was added for the movie and it made the boat need extra balast to keep it true/centered.
