Jaws 1975 The Great Shark Chase (Mono Version)

[@casesoutherland4175]

Can we just take the time to enjoy John Williams' fantastic composition here?! Absolutely breathtaking!!

[@roquefortfiles]

I've read about this piece of the score. Williams shifted gears from the shark theme to flat out high seas pirate adventure film. He even told Steven .... This is like a pirate movie!!. This theme is an homage to all the great sea adventure films of the 30s and 40s. Shiver me timbers.. a pint of rum!!. You can practically feel the spray in your face

[@quietday9991]

Could you imagine how hard it is to film this movie in the ocean.!! definitely understand why Spielberg said that filming jaws was a total nightmare but in the end it was all worth the trouble because jaws has became a classic masterpiece.!!

[@PoeDameron15]

0:09, Quint’s face just says it all. He doesn’t want anyone else to kill that shark but him.

[@gregorbegger9291]

Yep. He sure let his PTSD get the best of him

[@BuckyJoe00]

That and if Brody would’ve brought in police help to kill the shark it might’ve risked his bounty reward for killing the shark. Not only was it personal to him, to want to kill the shark. But potentially losing out on that bounty and him smashing the radio, was a way of saying “we’ll handle this ourselves.”

[@TinaLouise73]

And of course a share of the $10K!

[@ChrisAldridge]

Quint is the greatest character ever, of any movie. It's a shame Robert Shaw is gone.

[@roquefortfiles]

LOurve the shot of Bruce at 0:58. Just the little glimpses and teases of the shark it looks fabulous here. The fin the nose coming up. Bob Mattey should have won a mechanical effects award for the shark.

[@RoyJNg]

Yeah it looks like JAWS was gloating at Quint too like clash of both egos there.

[@JC-wo2py]

Wins an Oscar for best sound and they change it why?

[@jduttskywalker]

Because for some reason Hollywood has this need to fix things that were already great

[@casesoutherland4175]

At least John Carter didn't live to see his work get redone...

[@roquefortfiles]

@@casesoutherland4175 Because Mono is exactly that. One track. They split it all and made it 5 to 1. But they took out the character of the sounds and a huge portion of the "Identity" of the film. I hate the reworked sound. It is so "over corrected" that it has no character. The hiss of the shark cutting through the water. The groans of the Orca. The window breaking as the shark comes through. Its all gone. When i heard it for the first time I literally said.. "Where is my film??"

[@Maxmellow94]

@@roquefortfiles I think it had to do with how technology was changing with movies

[@roquefortfiles]

@@Maxmellow94 For sure. But it wasn't necessarily an improvement. It might be technically better but they removed much of the character of the film. YOu'll hear much the same thing from hard core fans.

[@crissrudd4554]

Thank you for posting this m. The Mono IMO is much better than the surround mix. The guns don’t sound particularly good in the remix especially Quints spear rifle where it makes a very awkward ‘vzzzooop’ sound. Also Brody’s police pistol is much louder in the mono!

[@ShadyKoi]

Do you know a place to find the full mono version?

[@crissrudd4554]

The 2000 DVD and VHS only had the remix but every release since has an option for the mono.

[@ShadyKoi]

@@crissrudd4554 anywhere online?

[@crissrudd4554]

Streaming wise I don’t know but if you get the BD it has the mono option.

[@Jared_Wignall]

@@crissrudd4554 the Blu-Ray has mono, but you have to select it in the audio menu before watching the film.

[@hiattgrey9161]

0:18 When I saw this movie for the first time, I thought that Quint was gonna hit Brody in the head with the baseball bat.

[@andremouton4286]

The 5.1 Track Butchers 'Jaws' All They Did With 'The Wizard Of Oz' Was Enhance It. And With 'Jaws' They Just Ditched The Mono Track And Replaced It! I Demand A Version Of The Film With The Mono Track Enhanced!

[@crissrudd4554]

The 2005 and 2012 DVDs as well as the Blu-ray has the mono option.

[@dnasty312]

Like no bottle shattering here 0:34 on the 5.1 or even 7.1

[@theyankeesamurai23]

I just noticed this after watching this movie hundreds of times, they never show how the 2nd barrel get tied up, but if it takes hundreds of times viewing to notice that, its not a big deal

[@N8Harris99]

1:35 I think Quint did it. He was on the pulpit to shoot the first barrel, then after shooting the first barrel, he is seen walking away from the barrels as the merry music plays.

[@roquefortfiles]

Quint ties it up. Look where he moves from at the start of the sequence. Hes at the barrels then stands and goes to the pulpit

[@demonofelru3214]

Like The Terminator, I prefer the original mono track.

[@dnasty312]

There'll be no going Blu with _The Terminator_ for me. My Special Edition DVD is only one that contains the original mono

[@demonofelru3214]

@@dnasty312 I have the special edition DVD as well. The remastered sound effects are atrocious. The future war scenes they work well enough however, except for the terminator who infiltrated the resistance base. The plasma gatling sounded way better in the mono edition.

[@BmorePatriot]

This is the original sound, eh?

[@crissrudd4554]

Yes.

[@BmorePatriot]

crissrudd4554 Bruh, sounds so different. ‘Guess ain’t used to the remastered sound.

[@gregorbegger9291]

Hell yes the original sound effects

[@gregorbegger9291]

@Nicholas Sakamoto Martin’s gunshots don’t sound like Dirty Harry’s 44 magnum’s gunshots

[@gregorbegger9291]

@Nicholas Sakamoto it sounds more like Dr. Sam Loomis’ pistol from Halloween

[@troysmith4363]

Why mess with original soundtrack, like messing with your favourite song. I noticed instantly. The guns all sound terrible in the remastered. If you have the Jaws special blu-ray edition then it allows you to play the film in HD with the original mono soundtrack 😉 Edited as I made a mistake

[@crissrudd4554]

DVD isn’t HD but the BD does have the mono.

[@colbydyer7191]

Isn’t DVD technically SD? (Standard Definition)

[@crissrudd4554]

Colby Dryer Well there is the now obsolete HDDVD but Jaws was never available on that format. Regular DVD you are correct though is SD.

[@ShadyKoi]

shouldn't the shark technically have 4 barrels on him

[@crissrudd4554]

The first one got detached. It’s the barrel you see Hooper holding and putting away in this video.

[@ShadyKoi]

@@crissrudd4554 the orca has 5 barrels on the front after Brody first sees the shark 1 barrel is attached 2 are attached this scene and 1 is attached when the shark is stuck on the cheetahs.

[@crissrudd4554]

Emo Deer Yes and as I said the first barrel came undone. Watch the first part of this video. Hooper is pulling at a rope, it cuts to Brody coming down a ladder, it cuts to Quint and Hooper again only Hooper is holding a barrel. That was the first barrel they had attached but it’s free and clear now. Skip to Hoopers reaction to Quint destroying the radio and you see he’s putting the barrel back with the others.

[@colbydyer7191]

I’m pretty sure the shark bit through the rope on the first barrel, and that’s why it came undone.

[@crissrudd4554]

Colby Dyer that’s what I’m thinking too
