It must be hard to imagine for younger people nowadays, but prior to the unprecedented success of Jaws it used to be a box office - death sentence for a movie to be released during the summer, simply because people didn't go to the movies during that season like they do today. Spielberg didn't just invent the summer blockbuster; He changed the business forever!

[@joeblow9374]

i think people used to go to the movies in the summer for the air conditioning.

[@glawnow1959]

I caught the allusion to Steve Jobs there, lol! But you're right. Big films were released at Easter and between October and New Years. The NY Film Festival used to be the springboard for the fall "art" releases. I think Bonnie and Clyde was released in August 1967, and the fact that it initially bombed and Beatty had to fight for a re-release didn't help summer films shed their "blow-off" image. The summer of 69 was seen as an aberration: The Wild Bunch came out in June and Easy Rider in July. But no one dared to really put a film in 2000 theaters right out of the gate in summer until 1975. And I suspect that if Spielberg had had fewer issues filming Jaws and then getting it edited that Universal would have much preferred having it come it in April. But that didn't happen, and the summer blockbuster was created, abetted by George Lucas two years later.

.1. Jaws was the first 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 "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 Indy gave him PTSD flashbacks and contributed to his behavior after he told the story. It's 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.

The speech quint gave about the Indianapolis was 100% true. Spielberg gave Robert shaw the speech and Robert took it home and reworked it as he was a writer himself.

Its considered one of the best speeches in cinematic history.

[@DylansPen]

The two of you reacting to Ben Gardner appearing in the hole in the boat is the same reaction everyone has been having to this movie since it came out. As a kid I saw this in the theater and it scared everyone like that. Also the best era for movies was from the late 60's to the early 80's, blockbuster after blockbuster.

[@gluuuuue]

Jaws was pretty much the first movie that was so commercially successful, it drew crowds of audiences who would line up around the block just to get in to see the movie. It is thus significant in cinema history as it began the phenomenon of blockbuster movies that we are all familiar with today. (But it's also just a really well-made and paced film, both for its time and in general.) After Jaws we would start to see movies like the first Star Wars in 1977, and all the huge movies of the ‘80s, esp. big action films.

[@51tetra69]

Ellie and Mich, the speech delivered by Quint about the USS Indianapolis tragedy is a true story, an actual historical fact. It really happened! His story relating the incident 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 was determined to personally secure the bounty and reward for killing the shark, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge (or perhaps redemption) for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by destroying the man-eating shark himself…

[@jhilal2385]

To answer your question about shark attacks actually happening: when this film was made in 1975, no there were no shark attacks on the US northeastern coast. However, in the last ~10 years there have been several attacks each year in that area. This is the unintended consequence of environmentalist's efforts to bring back several endangered species of seal and sea lion, which were common in the area in the early 1800's and were hunted to near-extinction for their fur. Seals and sea lions are the natural food of several species of large, predatory sharks, and there are now several large breeding colonies of each of several different species of seal and sea lion (several 1000 animals in each breeding colony). There is a research project to attach GPS trackers to the sharks to track their movements and learn their patterns. The same sharks come back to the area every year at the same time each year. The researchers attach 30-50 trackers to new sharks every year, so they are now tracking several 100 sharks that come to the area to feed. From below, the silhouette of a human on the surface looks a lot like a seal. Most real life shark attacks are in deeper water (10+ m) when a shark mistakes a human on the surface for a tasty seal or sea lion.

[@MrHws5mp]

The platform sticking out into the water is called a 'pier' (pronounced 'Pee - Err'), or a 'jetty'. That story about most of the crew of the USS Indianapolis getting eaten by sharks is totally real. Look it up: there've been a couple of movies made about it.

[@CDRhammond]

Bad advice the last thing you want to do with a shark is to panic and start splashing. That will only attract the shark into investigating you. One fatal attack was actually proven to be caused because of the individual starting to splash. While one Marine Biologist remained still and just floated on the surface her partner started splashing with her foot fin. Those sharks almost Immediately would turn and make a beeline right to where the splashes were coming from. As soon as the splashing stopped the sharks started to swim in more of a search pattern around the pair just scoping things out. staying still is not an easy thing to do when you have something like a 9 foot bull shark swimming around you but it could possibly save your life. You'll defiantly last longer that way than if you went into full panic mode anyway.

Spielberg saw that it resulted in a better movie and used what he learned in future films.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Myth Im afraid. The mechanical shark was never scheduled to be used for the beach scenes. It was hidden on purpose. The first half of the film was done more or less on schedule. Far more of the shark was supposed to be seen for the ocean segment, but that's where the mechanical shark kept malfunctioning until the end. It was filming the second half of the film that went way over schedule and over budget.

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

There are some common misconceptions about this film that are widely popular. For example, it is said that the line you're gonna need a bigger boat was improvised by Roy scheider. But in an interview with Carl gottlieb, who was a writer on the film and also played the writer for the newspaper meadows, thought for years that Roy scheider had adlib the line. But Roy scheider himself corrected Carl and said no actually that line was in the script the whole time. He said he absolutely did ad-lib lines in the movie but that was not one of them. You can see that interview from Jaws fest 2005. It's him and the author of the book Peter benchley. Another incorrect myth is that this book was based on the Jersey shore shark attacks from the early 1900s and that they inspired Peter benchley. But eventually has stated on numerous occasions that that is also incorrect. Frank mundus was in the newspaper for killing a massive white shark and Peter benchley started to think what it would be like if a big ass white shark like that came in off the beaches of USA and wouldn't go away. And then there was a string of attacks in Greece that he used for inspiration as well. Although he did mention the Jersey shore attacks in the novel and in the movie, that's not at all what inspired him. Also, while the Indianapolis story was in fact a true story, it was greatly exaggerated how many sharks killed people. There were definitely sharks, and there were definitely shark attacks. But the majority of the people on the ship died from injuries and from the elements. Dehydration, and such. Some people were bitten or eaten after they were already dead as well. And there were large groups of people in the water the whole time that never even saw sharks. And while sharks definitely did attack some people and eat some people, it is thought that a very very small percentage of them were actually killed by the sharks

Most shark attacks are in water less than a meter deep, close to the shore. OTOH, in most cases, the shark takes one exploratory nibble then goes away, like we don't taste right. Mythbusters had mixed results with shooting the air tank. In one test, they found that shooting a hole in a tank turned it into a rocket. It wouldn't just blow up, but the escaping air made it a huge projectile that would drive the tank a couple of meters deep down the thing's gullet. Maybe not instant death, but bad. Then another time they broke the neck off a bottle of air, and the tank shot across a room and blasted a hole through a concrete wall. The movie made too little of what a deer rifle like that would do to the shark. The bullets won't go through more than a meter of water, but if you hit the animal it would make a cavity of hamburger inside the shark 1.5 meters deep and half a meter across.

47 year's old and still the best shark film ever made 👌

This movie scared the living shit out of everyone back then.....people were afraid to go to the beach!

[@jonathancruz5932]

This movie is inspired of the true story by “Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916” and it lasted between July 1 and 12, 1916

STILL holds the biggest jump scare in Hollywood history (Ben Gardners head)... If you think it was scary on your computer monitor? You should have sat in the packed theatre in 1975 like i did the first time... I remember my Mom commented on leaving how much she pitied the theatre custodians after each showing having to clean about 4 tons of popcorn off the floor from that one scene alone... 🤪

Fun fact: The sharks name was 'Bruce' and it broke down more times than you can count.

[@itubeutubewealltube1]

greenland sharks are known to live over 500 years old....possibly longer

[@iamsheep]

Fun fact: There were sharks before there were trees.

I love seeing the pets laying around, too.

Quint destroyed the radio because he wanted the reward but mostly because he wanted to kill the Shark himself. It would've been his gteatest conquest

[@edwinhome9]

This movie and “Orca” are the reasons I don’t go in the ocean anymore

[@canadianicedragon2412]

And Ben Gardner claims another victim in the jump scare category. And I still say the villain isn't the shark, but rather the mayor.

Been around longer than the dinosaurs. It's estimated that Great Whites can live to be 70 years old. the shark with the longest lifespan known is the Greenland shark which can live to be 250 all the way up to 500 years old.

You're going to need a bigger couch. The guy at the start didn't go into the water because he was drunk and passed out.
