Only Spielberg could absolutely terrify us with a floating piece of a moving dock. Pure genius. It was well documented that the mechanical shark did not function well forcing them to cut many shots of it from the final film. But this made it even scarier.

Also, the scene when they are examining Ben Gardner’s beat-up fishing boat, and Hooper pulls a shark tooth the size of a shot glass out of the hole in the hull -- just as Ben Gardner’s mutilated head suddenly appears -- is one of the greatest jump-scares of all time!

I like that too. What's funny is that despite Quint's belief that he's a true seaman and Hooper is just a wannabe, Hooper's scars are from legitimate encounters with dangerous marine wildlife, and most of Quint's had nothing to do with the sea. Despite the respect that Hooper has earned, it's still a sobering and even chilling moment when later Quint asks Hooper about the shark cage and poison. Quint is arrogant and condescending, so for him to even consider Hooper's methods means he not only has run out of ideas, but has realized that even survival is no longer guaranteed. When a man who's so cocky that he would destroy the radio to prevent calling for help is that desperate, you know the situation is serious.

"Back home we got a taxidermy man. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!" One of the kids with the fake shark fin is now the Chief of Police for the town that played Amity. "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, manager 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."

The first Jaws film is based on a pretty not very good rag novel. This film is amazing but they made three more movies that increasingly decline as they go, that Spielberg had nothing to do with, one of which starred Michael Caine, who when asked in an interview why he would be in such an awful movie responded "I haven't seen it, and by all accounts it's terrible, but I have seen the house that it bought and it is fantastic."

Great movie reaction yes Jaws and Close encounters of the third kind are two of my favorite early spielberg films, with a shark you always stay calm and keep your eyes on it they can be pushed away etc but you can't out swim it and in trying to do so you would look like prey.. I will leave you with a movie suggestion for you to react too its a very exciting thrilled even for someone as smart as you and don't be fooled by the passive sounding title, and its also a great movie.. The imdb clip isn't that good search for other ones 1. Marathon Man (1976)

My brother and I were 7 and 8 when our parents took us from Canada to London UK for a holiday. Before going to the beach in Wales, our dad figured while in London we'd take in a movie. Jaws had just come out, so OF COURSE we saw this. So next day at the beach, mom stayed on her beach chair, dad went swimming way out to sea, and we two kids went into the water up to our waist, yell SHARK at each other and rush back to the shore, over and over. We were playing, but also damn nervous. Dad didn't understand why we didn't stay in the water for any length of time.

Now you know why my generation (born in 1974) were terrified of being alone in a pool, or hell, even a BATHTUB. It is based on a book, and the author said he regretted being part of the 'Shark killing craze' because of this. Also, the "We're gonna need a bigger boat' was ad-libbed.

I was staying at a beach side resort once and my wife and I decided to take a stroll along the shore just after dark. As we walked along suddenly I saw something in the water. It was a small shark about two feet long struggling and thrashing in what was essentially ankle deep water right where the waves met the sand. I put both my hands on it right behind his side fins and just gave it a little guided shove towards deeper water and it disappeared. Just before that we had been talking about putting our suits on going for a moonlit swim. We changed our minds about that.

Verowak, if you've been to the beach you have probably had a shark nearby at one time or another. People that swim in rivers that feed into the ocean could come in contact with one of the most aggressive of all, the bull shark, which have been found miles from the ocean in rivers. They are the only sharks that can live in salt or fresh water.😊😊

Hi Verowak. Saw this in theater in 1975. When that head popped out of the hole in the boat, my entire row jumped backed as everyone screamed! Nervous laughter and whooping followed, like everyone after a roller coaster ride. I saw the film six more times, waiting for that reaction from the crowd again. During the film’s second run it was shown a block from my high school. I paid for my friends and classmates’ tickets to see the film with me after class, just to hear them scream! Heh, heh, heh. My first taste of the vicarious thrill of watching reactors. There is an incredible optical illusion with that scene. I’ve played it in slow motion with my copies of the film. The light and shadows on the head as it moved gives a brief illusion of a shark with mouth wide open and teeth lunging at you! Your subconscious sees it and you scream!

I recall an article in a South Florida periodical that showed photos, taken by a pilot of planes that fly banners, of people swimming at the beaches with sharks within a few feet of them. Apparently this pilot had been trying to warn people that sharks were nearby but they ignored him. Sharks are not the great man-eaters people think. I used to scuba dive but have gotten too old. I was also an amateur photographer specializing in underwater pictures. I loved photographing sharks. Somewhere in my collection of photos I have a beautiful picture of a tiger shark. I was diving a wreck in the Keys and saw this shark swimming right towards me. I don't think he saw me because the way he was swimming. When he was about 15 feet from me, I snapped the picture. The flash scared the hell out of him, but it was a great shot.

The famous jump scare was added late to the movie. The mechanical shark, nicknamed 'Bruce' after Spielberg's lawyer, kept breaking down a lot but was storyboarded to be in full view from the beginning. But this wasn't possible due to ongoing malfunctions and Spielberg felt the movie needed a 'moment' to lift it until the climax so the jump scare got added. It was shot in a swimming pool. When I saw it in 1975 everyone in the cinema jumped sending popcorn airborne....If you enjoyed Jaws, I would suggest Spielberg's earlier TV movie 'Duel'. Its been called 'Jaws on dry land' and is along a similar theme of being hunted, Dennis Weaver has a spot of trouble with a murderous, unseen truck driver out to kill him in a movie about road rage before the term was invented.

Actually Bruce was never scheduled to be used for the first half of the film. It was far too big to be used in the shallow water off those Martha's Vineyard beaches. They were filmed in just 3 to 4 ft of water. Only during the very early storyboards in 1973 did they plan to show the shark early on but this was discarded once Bruce was designed and built. For filming on Martha's Vineyard, the first scheduled use of Bruce wasn't until July 1974. The beach attack scenes were all filmed in May and June before they even knew that Bruce would malfunction. Bruce was only scheduled to be used out at sea for the Orca based scenes in deeper water. Spielberg was known as a suspense director at the time, as Duel and Something Evil shows. The shark was hidden by design early on for suspense. Sadly the various documentaries exaggerate and skew the situation and now people think Bruce was supposed to be shown from the beginning. This is a myth. Susan Backlinie never ever once said Bruce was supposed to be used in her scene but it wouldn't work. She actually said the original plan was to throw her around on an electric winch but she asked for man power instead. They had a perfectly working fin contraption which they could have used early on but they chose not to even show the fins for any of the scenes until the pond scene. More details can be found in The Jaws Log by Carl Gottlieb and Memories From Martha's Vineyard by Matt Taylor.

The first victim in Jaws recently passed away Susan backlinie she was 77 year's old may she rest in peace.....Spielberg called Ms Backlinie's sequence "one of the most dangerous" stunts he's ever directed." She was actually being tugged left and right by 10 men on one rope and 10 men on the other back to the shore, and that's what caused her to move like that." Ms Backlinie worked with Spielberg again in the 1979 parody war film 1941, in which she spoofed her Jaws character

Also, on swimming, I've been the water hours before great white sharks were spotted and a couple of days after. We lived in the ocean in the 70s. It's more dangerous to jump in a car and drive on the highway than to go swimming ! I even tried surfing back in the day... I was bad, very bad, but it was fun and catching my first wave was extremely cool ✌️😎 I was the king of body surfing though ! In my day sure we had kids teenagers and young adults that were afraid of a few things. Maybe 1 person out of 5 had something they were afraid of...... but today it's like 5 things to 1. Every person is afraid of at least 5 things.... swimming flying driving...etc. Thank you for the video and jump in the ocean this summer. It's a blast.

Great reaction like always Jaws is adapted from author Peter Benchley’s bestselling novel of the same name, which Benchley based on a series of shark attacks that occurred off the coast of New Jersey in 1916 and after an incident where a New York fisherman named Frank Mundus caught a 4500-pound shark off the coast of Montauk in 1964. Benchley himself can be seen in a cameo in the film as the news reporter who addresses the camera on the beach. There's a great story about Lee Fierro, who played Mrs. Kintner in "Jaws", as she went to eat at a restaurant. As she looked at the menu, she noticed that they served an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She commented to the server that she had played the mother of Kintner in the movie years earlier. A few moments later, the owner of the restaurant, Jeffrey Voorhees, ran out to meet her. Voorhees was the boy who played Alex. They hadn't seen each other since the filming. Keep up the good work.

Great Reaction Verowak! I just want to say I like this natural commentary! Because most of the comments will cover things IMDb may not! I remember when the book for Jaws came out I in Junior High and a school friend let us borrow the book which was a miracle for me because I never could retain what I usually read! The movie came out when I was a Freshman in High School! My Friend and I went to a town 50 miles away to watch it! It was mind blowing! To us the Shark looked so real! As for my favorite Spielberg Movie! They just kept getting better and better! Jaws, Indy, Poltergeist, E.T. Back To The Future! I even enjoyed Joe Verses The Volcano! Didn’t care for Howard The Duck! But the first Jurassic Park was epic! And of course Who Framed Roger Rabbit was one for the books since we got all the cartoons that we grew up watching as kids together! I remember we had to wait about 10 years or so before Spielberg released it on video! Back To The Future was the first VHS video to use Macrovision technology which kept people from dubbing movies! Anyhow the for an amazing reaction! 🤘🙏🏻

When John Williams first played that two-note theme to Steven Spielberg, Steven thought it was a joke, but it quickly grew on him as it matched the tension and suspense in the film caused by their animatronic shark constantly failing to work. A couple of years ago, Robert Shaw's (Quint) son produced and starred in a stage play called "The Shark Is Broken", set around the three men on the boat hunting for the shark and their tense relationship being stuck out there for days on end when the shark wasn't working. I missed the chance to see it when it was here in London, unfortunately. There's an amazing story from around 20 years ago: the movie was filmed in Martha's Vineyard, and most of the extras were locals who stayed living there. Jeffrey Voorhees (Alex Kintner, the kid victim) ended up running a restaurant, and Lee Fiero (the kid's mother) didn't know until she went in one day and saw on the menu "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She told the waitress she played his mother in Jaws, so the waitress went out back and got Jeffrey to come and say hi! That was the first time they'd seen each other since filming.

"what kind of kid is this?" "You've got some Quint in your teeth" best comments reacting to Jaws ever! ❤ I saw it as a little kid in the 70's when GW's weren't protected & they would get hauled up on the beach from time to time by fisherman, so we knew they were real and yes, I hated going into the water. I grew up in SW Western Australia and my parents took a photo of my brother, cousins and I sitting on the back of a huge dead GW. Fast forward to my teens I was out surfing on a sharky day (grey, overcast, lots of weed in the water) I saw a huge fin skim across the water, that was me done & I haven't been back in the water on sharky days since!

Jaws was the first big summer blockbuster. It opened in June, just before the July 4th holiday. I live in Alabama, about 3 hours form Panama City Beach, but was too young to go see it at the theaters, I was 8 in 1975. We went to the beach for the holidays but all you heard people talking about was the movie Jaws, and no they were not going into the water. My parents had not seen it yet but picked up on the fear around them, so they made us swim in the pool. About a year later it came out on TV and I saw it then, I've been nervous about the ocean ever since.

When it first came out, mom and dad took brother and me to see "Jaws" at a drive-in on Friday night. Saturday, we went to Half Moon Bay for a day at the beach. Love the water. The shark thing never bothered me. The closest I've ever been to a shark (that I know of) besides fishing for them, was snorkeling off of Key West. I was looking for some spiny lobster and there was a black tip reef shark about 20 feet away from me. It was cruising around, didn't bother me, I didn't bother it. Also in the waters of Florida, I've had a number of barracuda swim around me. Never had an issue with them either. Though, I don't wear loose, flashing jewelry to catch their eyes, so that helps. 😁 Side note: I like when you do the trivia and whatnot. Sometimes I already knew some of it, but often times I don't.

I saw this as a 12 year old at the theater with my slightly older cousin btw we lived in Orange County CA near the beach. Yeah I really stopped going into the water for awhile... Having watched many many movies in the last 50+ years this is still my favorite all time. I immediately read the book after watching it. Peter Benchley wrote the book and helped write the screenplay (he was also in the movie as the TV reporter on the beach😎). There are many differences between the book and the movie(Hooper and Mrs. Brodie has a brief affair, the Orca returned every night, Hooper actually died, how the shark was killed was also not the same🙄).He was on set during most of the shooting but he had major issues especially with the last few scenes enough so that Speilberg asked him to leave. I'm sure many have posted notes but my favorite is the speech Quint gave about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis (which is true)Robert Shaw was drunk (as usual) but SS thought that was the best they were going to get. The next day RS went to SS and asked to reshoot that scene. That's what we got in the movie 😊

The was the first movie "Held Over" at theaters (that was a phrase back then) for over a year, as far as I know. Every time I looked in the newspaper at movies that were playing, Jaws was there. HELD OVER. Theater was the only way to see this movie. It's hard to evaluate what the shark really is in this movie - is it a mutant, a monster, a force of nature, a beast? Somehow it was visceral nightmare fuel. It's hard to pick a favorite Spielberg movie - I'm impressed with many of them for different reasons. So many of them are such achievements.

When I was younger I lived in FL and was into spearfishing, and shatk encounters are inevitable. When you're diving and you see them, they're so amazing you don't freak out right away, it's like you want to stay in the water and watch them. Then they disappear in the murk and it's time to get back in the boat. Once you're out of the water and safe THEN you start getting the shakes ;)

Fun facts: The shark was suppose to be in the movie more but they made a mistake. They tested it in fresh water. When they brought it into salt water it had issues. The irony is it made the movie better as it gave it a Hitchcock feel. When John Williams presented the music no one thought it would work until it was matched up with the film. Spielberg almost had a nervous breakdown due to all the issues with the film. He left the filming early and let the final scenes be directed by his #2. After Jaws became a huge hit he became superstitious and never stays on set and leaves early turning it over to his #2. This movie caused a minor panic and they use to kill all types of sharks after this movie came out in my area of New England. We ended up with a summer mess of jelly fish washing up on shore. Certain shark eat jellyfish but they impacted the population.

I, for one, support Verowak watching as many beach themed movies as possible if this is to be the wardrobe! 😍 I loved coffee ice cream as a kid and would definitely request it if being offered anything and everything by mom after seeing a shark kill a man. Robert Shaw was a legendary actor but drunk as a skunk for many of his scenes. He and Richard Dreyfuss bickered and worse on set. But man, his USS Indianapolis monologue is remarkable. To see some of Dreyfuss’s best work - check out Mr Holland’s Opus. As I’m sure others will point out, Spielberg had all sorts of problems with the animatronic shark and that’s why you don’t see if for most of the film - but it actually increased the tension not seeing it. Thanks in large part to John Williams’s score.

I first saw Jaws when I was youngg, atleast 5 years old. It did terrify me, especially the Quint being eaten part. However, I became obsessed with the ocean and sharks because of this movie, and I asked my parents to buy any book at the library with a shark on it or relating to the ocean. I am still fascinated with marine life to this day, 22 years later.

There are many documented cases of sharks and whales attacking boats on purpose. Jaws was based loosely on real events when a Bull Shark killed 8 people in the early 20th century. Mostly in fresh water, which was thought impossible at the time. Even Moby Dick is based on a true story of a whale attacking a whaling ship. There is a pretty good movie about that called "In the Heart of the Sea," starring Chris Hemsworth and Brendan Gleeson.
