Everyone involved in this movie thought is was going to flop until it was released. Turned out to be one of the greatest movies of all time.

[@clarkness77]

Quint is a great character and shaw gives a great performance. That Indianapolis monolog is top notch.

[@KalonReeves]

Drufess' reaction. His face was real. No one had heard shaw deliver that monologue until then.

[@Bluesit32]

@@KalonReeves Not how I understood it. Shaw attempted to do the monologue drunk shirt and didn't like how it turned out, so he asked Spielberg if he could give it another shot sober. So Drufess probably heard it before, but was blown away by how it was delivered. Which, I feel, is understandable. Shaw had the look and tone of a haunted man, occasionally smiling or chuckling in an attempt to downplay how messed up the incident left him. His eyes glazed and he rarely blinked as he spoke.

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.

[@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzy]

I just felt like he smashed the radio at a time when they needed help. They were clearly going to sink. he didn't think of other people lives while seeking his revenge. those men were trying make it back home to their kids. that part I didn't like.

Fun facts: The shark, named Bruce by the producers, was mechanical, and broke down alot, and rusted during filming. Because it didn't work for alot of the movie, the producers substituted things to show you where the shark was..like the pier, and especially the yellow barrels. They expected the movie to bomb at the box office due to so many filming problems. They were shocked it didn't. I watched alot of documenteries about it. And BTW: every JAWS fan alive hated the mayor. Lol Great reaction!

Hey man, just to explain what was going on with Quint losing his mind. He’s meant to be an allegory for Captain Ahab. He is ABSOLUTELY on a vendetta. Ever since the Indianapolis, he dedicated his life to killing sharks. The big White, Bruce or “Jaws”, is his white whale.

[@johnbode5528]

Saw this in the theater when I was 10 and it _broke_ me -- when we got home I was seeing sharks swimming under the carpet. I had nightmares for weeks. Then the Carol Burnett Show did the "Jowls" parody, after which I would only take showers -- the thought of sitting in more than in inch of water left me nauseous with fear. Took me years before I'd get in anything bigger than a wading pool. Summer towns like Amity make all their money for the year on 3 weekends -- Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day. Closing the beach on the 4th means you lose over a third of your annual income as all those people go somewhere else. Like Quint said, they'd all be on welfare over the winter, and some of them would lose their homes or businesses. So, yeah, they were reluctant to close the beach. Sorry those kids got et, but we gotta eat to, you know? Also, something from the book that didn't make it into the move was that Amity was heavily mobbed up, which was another reason everyone wanted to keep the beach open; Fat Tony wants his money, and he'll take it out of your hide if you don't have any business.

Ramree Island - in WW2, the Japanese had their own version of the Indianapolis, only it was saltwater crocodiles tearing them up; 4. The Jaws Log by Carl Gottlieb (who co-wrote the screenplay and played Meadows in the movie), and Edith Blake's "On Location" - this is a master class on guerrilla film-making.

When you were on the beach and lost control. That was a rip current. They can often make you drift out to sea and even make people drown. If you ever get stuck in one...swim sideways to the beach, when the pressure to drag you out lets up, you will be out of the rip current and able to swim into the beach. If you still can't get out of the rip, immediately shout to the lifeguards for help so they can get something out to you so they can pull you in before you drown. Try not to panic though. That is how you make the problem escalate. Just some words of advice for anytime you are at a beach. Even if it isn't you, this information can save someone's life.

BRRRR total thalassophobia moment right there. Some cool trivia: in the real event that the novel and film were based off of, the shark doing all of the killing was a bull shark, which isn't surprising as bull sharks are extremely aggressive.

And that you recognise the genius of John Williams is the cherry on top even before we get rolling! 1:57 It was the 70s. We were all naked with strangers. What a time to be alive. Yeah, if you have a fear of the water, this is absolutely not going to help. It's kept me out of any body of water without a concrete bottom for 50 years and I'm fine with that. I don't go in the ocean, no sharks in my living room. Everybody happy. 4:15 Bro. She was in pieces. Be glad you didn't see it in the cinema. We got to see a whole lot more of pieces of Chrissie Watkins that went away when they chopped it up for home consumption. (Sorry.) 7:55 I am *so* glad I came by your channel. 10:29 Believe it or not, he was 27 here. 13:12 That exchange was unscripted. Jay Mello just started copying Mr Scheider, and Mr Scheider rightly kept it going. It's adorable. 13:21 He knocked. 14:25 No, that was not a butter knife, (I assure you a butter knife wouldn't go through a shark's skin. A chainsaw might be a better idea.) and that white stuff is digestive fluid. Aren't you glad you asked? 15:08 You're very generous; I like that in a person. 17:22 I'm using that one. 17:59 Aside from all his other genius, Spielberg invented the water box, the first underwater camera ever just for these shots. There was nothing like those POV shots back then, and even now you're like, "Hey, how did *I* get in the water? 19:44 Yeah, he was in *great* shape. All during the shoot, he annoyed the crap out of everybody by always exercising and keeping in shape while they were all drinking and trying to sleep late. He was a former boxer. 20:08 And mark another reactor who doesn't understand "coffee ice cream". 21:13 I have to say, I'm very much enjoying your technical work on this. It's a very pleasant balance of large/small screen. You're not sticking your face in the middle of the action like a lot of them. Dang, that's annoying. It's a very nice looking video you have here. 21:30 No son, that's called a "limerick", and they've been around for eight hundred years. 22:18 Knowing Quint, it's hard tack. 22:43 Bless me, Father, for I have just wet my pants. A thousand times, I still expect him to swallow that cigarette, followed by the greatest line in movie history (FU, Rhett Butler) and it's an ad lib. People quote it and they don't even know why. 24:28 How bout that score, huh? 24:34 I'm keeping that one, too. 26:25 Good on ya for noticing Brody's appendix scar. 26:47 Dude, don't get me rolling on the #Titanic. We'll be here all day. I'll talk all day and late into the night on that subject. BTW, the Indianapolis story was largely unknown until this movie came out and people were justifiably horrified to find out it was real. I saw a thing on Discovery years ago. Harrowing. 29:54 Aiming for the head will do no good. A shark's entire body is made of cartilage and chain mail, and has a brain the size of a walnut. To kill it, you'd have to somehow penetrate all that, hit the brain, and wait 24 hours, as sharks take roughly 24 hours to die. And FFS, remember they die *from* *the* *tail* *forward*. You can haul him in at noon and he'll still bite your a** at dinnertime. We should all be built that way. 31:35 Bruce: I love these things, but the packaging! 32:00 That won't help either. Sharks detect rather than "see". They have nerve endings that run all along their bodies to sort out who is what. 33:41 You're the first reactor I've seen to notice this. When I was a kid, my Pop was a beekeeper. It was like growing up in a horror movie. Well, he saw me Raid one of his beloved pets and he leaned in the doorway and said "Now a thousand are gonna come to his funeral." Swim, Brody. Swim.

Steven Spielberg was only 27 years old at the time and played perfectly with people's fears. The shocker won three Oscars - for sound, editing and the creepy, beautiful music by John Williams - and generated more than 100 million dollars at the box office. Probably the first blockbuster ever. In an interview, director Steven Spielberg deeply regrets the decline in shark populations as a result of his Oscar-winning cult film "Jaws". Spielberg conducted the interview with the BBC. The film was blamed for the fact that great white sharks were misrepresented in the USA after 1975 and increasingly hunted as trophies (and unfortunately still are in some cases). As a predator of the oceans, the great white shark (and all the other endangered shark species) is at the top of the food chain and fulfills an important function for the natural balance of the oceans. Mostly weak or sick animals are hunted by them. In this way, it indirectly ensures the health of the prey species, as the healthy animals then have better chances of reproducing. "Jaws" is still ultra-thrilling today and will probably remain so forever.

The decline of shark populations has far more to do with the Asian shark finning industry, commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes. Shark fishing was already big prior to Jaws.

In the novel it explains why Mayor Vaughn is actually so adamant about having the beaches stay open. Yes, all the towns money was made in the 2.5 months of summer and they'd all have to go on welfare half the year to survive if the beaches were shut down for a week. But it explains that his wife had been very very ill, and he had to borrow money from the NYC mafia to pay for her treatment. To repay it, he sold the mob rental properties on the island for cheap, so they could bring in basically clean cash from them. NO open beaches, NO renters, NO money = cement shoes for Larry. They even killed Brody's kids' cat in the book to warn him off.

I'm sure you know by now, but the story Quint told about the navy ship being torpedoed and the ship's crew being eaten by sharks one by one is a true story.

World wide there was a huge drop in the number of people swimming in the ocean when Jaws hit the big screen after 2 years the numbers came back up then Jaws 2 came out & the numbers of swimmers dropped again for a while 😊

this movie was very impactful.

[@51tetra69]

There is a good example of foreshadowing in this movie that everyone seems to miss: when Chief Brody is looking through books about sharks, researching the subject, while thumbing through the books, he comes across a photo of a giant shark with a compressed air tank from a diver in its mouth. Of course, this comes full circle at the end of the movie when Brody destroys the shark by shooting the compressed air tank in its jaws. I am always surprised that no one ever points that out; it seems like such an obvious oversight to me…

[@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzy]

oh, that part happened at the 1/3 of the movie, and chief Brody kill shark was at the very end of the movie. but I did remember him seeing that in the book. Brody is separate to me because he shoots that tank in such a bad ass way, I couldn't connect that great moment to something else.

@Hey E fun reaction one of the top 25 to 50 films of all time. The mechanical shark did not work for 75% of the film, which is why the director went into each character and the story was well done. Plus in all grat horror what you DONT see is always more scary

still completed with the shark (the main character) not working %75! and this movie became a major hit is amazing in itself.

When it comes to Brody’s, “Old reliable” (As you called it😁), you should check out the outtakes, which should be available on KZbin. (That revolver wasn’t as reliable as one would hope.) Good thing it wasn’t being relied upon, in a real, life & death situation. For myself, JAWS is tied with RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK for all time top Spielberg flicks! I was about 10 when Mom took me to see this classic flick… As someone who used to love the water, I haven’t been swimming in it, since! (Just turned 60!) Glad you enjoyed it! Be happy & well! 😃

[@51tetra69]

Both the “Jaws” novel and the movie were inspired by a series of deadly shark attacks along the Jersey shore over a short period of time, resulting in multiple fatalities, all of which were caused by a single rogue bull shark. In short, incidents like those portrayed in Jaws do indeed take place in real life. Check the shark attack records for Florida, Australia, and California for more evidence.

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 a "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 Indianapolis gave him PTSD flashbacks and contributed to his behavior after he told the story. It became personal. 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.

Spielberg named the shark Bruce, after his lawyer. In Finding Nemo, the great white shark is named Bruce.

He’s aiming for the area along the back where the fin is so that the harpoon will pierce in and lock on so that it will drag the barrel the barrel will slow the shark down to where it can’t swim or dive, and then it suffocates it suffocates it just floats to the surface and you go and you pick it up

[@laurie5726]

I never understood why Chief Brody never said the mayor told me to do it and why the mayor let him take all the heat and hate for his decisions.

[@leeswhimsy]

Quint wasn't trying to kill the shark @ 30:04. He was trying to make it difficult for the shark to go underwater by putting those barrels of air on him. The weight and buoyancy of the barrels makes it hard for the shark to go underwater and stay down, therefore easy for them to see and kill later. When I was growing up we vacationed at an island off of Georgia in the Atlantic Ocean....I saw this movie when I was 15. I was never scared of that water until I watched this movie. To this day I will not go into the ocean (or any water that isn't crystal clear) past my lower thighs!! I don't care what the statistics are for shark attacks, I'm not going in that deep water!
