BRAVO, NICK!!!! You did a stellar job lining up scenes and locations DECADES later! You should be very proud! I was born In Massachusetts, had been to the Vineyard back in the 80s, but never really paid attention to the actual location. Will definitely plan a trip! How in the world did you score those empty street shots? Was it the luxury of off season or just EARLY Sunday morning? Great job, man. You knocked it outta the pahhhhhk....in the yahhhd.... not too fahhhh.... from the cahhhhh. : )

46 years has passed in the blink of an eye Jaws still has bite and Robert Shaw deserved an Oscar for his performance.

[@IMHAVINHOOPS]

Robert Shaw absolutely OWNED this movie. Every scene Quint is in is fantastic. The shark almost becomes irrelevant as the relationship between Brody, Quint & Hooper unfolds. Such a great movie. I wonder how different the movie would be if ‘Bruce’ worked more often.

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

I've seen one or two other "visiting Jaws shooting locations" videos. But what you did here was very ambitious. You visited every location in the movie that was accessible to you and even tried to recreate the framing and camera pans wherever possible. I'm seriously impressed.

[@NickP]

Thanks so much!

The scene where Quint tells the story of the USS Indianapolis always gives me chills

[@mediocrejoker9447]

every time, ever since i first saw this, whenever i eat a saltine cracker, i do the lines like he did in his first scene...accent and all. and im 51 years old....even at a restaurant.

[@StoutProper]

The original sequel script was a prequel about Quint’s shark experiences beginning with the USS Indianapolis

[@salvatoresalvaggio2347]

Apparently that scene was written by none other than John Milius. Director of the original Conan the barbarian

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

@@salvatoresalvaggio2347 Robert Shaw himself did the final rewrite of Quint's speech. I believe what's on film is Shaw's rewrite of John Milius' rewrite of Howard Sackler's original speech. Steven Spielberg said that credit for the final speech is shared equally by all three men. But it's Shaw's mesmerizing performance that brings it to goosebump-inducing life.

[@peterjohnson8935]

Yes Robert Shaw delivered the USS Indianapolis story with some of his own preferences. What came naturally to him I guess. He was also suffering a severe hangover! Can't imagine anyone apart from Shaw playing the part of Quint. Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss were perfect too.

I rarely review these "filming locations" videos, but this one is truly in an elite category. Absolutely awesome screen matching along with split screens makes this an extraordinary video. Additionally, the explanations regarding the variances in structures and landscapes, add another layer to the viewing experience. Nick, you have obviously put a lot of work into this video, and you should be commended for such a professional effort. By the way, I list Jaws in my top five films of all time, and I am an avid SCUBA diver.

[@NickP]

First off, I place JAWS in my Top 5 as well. Now, more importantly, thanks so much for taking the time to watch, appreciate and write such a thoughtful comment. Scuba is something I’ve wanted to try for a while but have yet to experience. I think I will finally give it a shot, just not off the shores of Amity lol.

I spent a month on the Florida Keys in 1976, from the UK, aged 21, just camping. There were fishing boats that went out just to catch big sharks, so the paying customers could cut the jaws out and clean them up to hang on the walls back home. It was sad to see the quayside butchery, just because of this film.

[@Nelswifi]

This was incredible. Took me right back to 1975. I was 10 when Jaws came out. This movie just never leaves you. I was born in Maine so the New England area and scenes like this always draws me in.

Wow! What an awesome comment! Happy 4th, thanks!

[@joshuacruz4244]

I tell you, this was something special for me. Jaws is one of my favorite movies of all time and I can watch it from beginning to end at any moment. Just seeing the exact areas where the film was shot some 47 years ago feels like stepping through a time machine. And seeing what has changed, and what has remained the same in so many years is just so breathe taking and riveting. Just like the movie itself, it touches on the humanity of those characters because the acting was done so well. You feel their life and humanity throughout the film, and seeing the exact areas where it was shot and what it is today brings the same message of life and humanity. Things change over time but some things remain the same forever.

It's just unbelievable how young Spielberg was when he made this. Today, 27 year-olds have barely started to shave, and he'd changed the world!

[@MidRatsEnjoyer]

It's almost like boomers obliterated the environment and economy and left nothing of value in their wake, golly gee!

[@Notryanarden12]

Speilberg is Jewish and he was chosen, groomed and hired (due to nepotism) to be a big director. The committee and people at the studios have final cuts of these films and heavily edited them. Spielberg really just did the heavy lifting (filming on location, etc) the editing, music, marketing, etc he had absolutely nothing to do with and those are the things that make a movie good

As everyone else says... You did an unbelievable job on this. Being a lifelong RI native I've been a huge fan of Jaws. Last August (2021) I was able to spend a day on the island by myself (my wife had no interest in doing a movie scavenger hunt) and did my best to find as many scene locations as I could so I feel like I was following both the movie's and your footsteps from just a few weeks earlier. I wish I would have seen this video before that day as you provided so much incredible information mapping the "then" to "now". For Jaws fanatics, I think this video will become part of this legendary movie. Thanks so much for the effort and sharing!

The best of that movie and to be honest one of the best scenes of any movie is when they were on quints boat and when he was telling the story of when his ship went down during the war

[@jameshill1740]

In 1975, the true story of the Indianapolis was sadly being forgotten as a footnote to a different past. But your right it was, and still is in my opinion, the greatest ever movie moment! The movie had everyone in a terrified suspense over just one shark. Those brilliant lines said by Robert Shaw made every movie goer realize that kind of fear was part of those who faced it for real.

[@galerad7254]

How former "Great Harbor" was renamed by "Gov. Thomas Mayhew", my x-great grandfather many times over , to "Edgartown", said to be the only Edgartown in the world: as religious and political divisions in England widened prior to the Civil War in 1642, the Lord of the Manor of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and the Elizabeth Islands decided to name his county town in honor of the newborn son of James, younger bro of king Charles ll. It was intended to be a reminder to James when monarch, and later, of grown-up Edgar, of the presence of loyalty from this corner of the pioneer English New World. Unfortunately baby Edgar did not live long, and it would have seemed negatively opportunistic to change the name of the town.

The stuntman in the cage during those scenes was Dick Warlock. Long time stuntman for Kurt Russell. He also played Michael Meyers in Halloween 2.

[@NickP]

That’s great stuff there, thanks for the info.

[@aXeL-qr9xs]

What a name

[@paulascott5701]

I met Warlock at a horror movie convention a few years ago. He was an unusually nice guy! Carl Gottlieb, the screen writer for Jaws was there as well and again, he was an extremely nice man. Both were willing to talk to fans and share stories.

[@shepdawg66]

@@paulascott5701 that’s awesome. Dick is my mom’s first cousin and I used to be the webmaster for his website. He is a really good guy.

[@paulascott5701]

@@shepdawg66 Oh wow!! He really is a first rate guy. I assume he came from a great family. :-)

Great video. Jaws is my all time favourite movie.

@@NickP Just rewatched it yesterday. I live on an island in Denmark. No sharks here but I stille look out for them when I am at the beach 🙂.

AWESOME! Thanks for this. This was one of my favorite films, my wife and I do a Jawsathon everyplace 4th of July!

[@NickP]

Very cool, likewise!

[@Parrothead8738]

Loved this so much....my husband and I did this a few years ago-but to a much smaller degree than you have done-thank you so much for your extra time showing previous shots from the movie to today’s look!! It’s a such a magical place anyway-we enjoyed taking the a “Chappy” ferry-but like you, couldn’t really get a way to some of the spots we wanted to go to there-I also wanted to go to the bridge where Ted Kennedy drove off of with Mary Jo K!! Thanks again-really enjoyed this!

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot!!

[@mikemullally8732]

Fantastic Job!!! I love the movie Jaws and have easily watched it over 200x.. I still have my album soundtrack from 75!

Same here on the watch times but not on the soundtrack. That’s awesome!! Thanks a lot!

Agreed

I love shit like this. Incredible how you found the exact locations. And the way you do it with the simultaneous camera movements is awesome! Please do another movie, GREAT VIDEO.

[@NickP]

I have a few coming up! I really appreciate the awesome comment! Thanks a lot.

[@SuV33358]

I LOVE this! I watch JAWS a few times a year. It NEVERRR gets old

[@Shamphere]

You did an amazing job on this! Vicariously I was getting the same feels you were expressing. I have to compliment the format of transitioning between movie and current locations. Plus, the split screen, which is my personal favorite. Thank you for sharing your experience. This is one of my favorite movies of all time and definitely left a mark on me. I can relate to your swimming pool comment. When I was like 7 or 8 years old, I could not swim alone in my own pool once it started getting dark out. haha Thanks, Mr. Spielberg.

[@NickP]

Very cool to hear how much you enjoyed it!! Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback!

[@jax6244]

[@rollydoucet8909]

Like many films that were followed by sequels, the original JAWS is still the best.

[@cousinjack2841]

Well; what an unexpected treat that was! Brilliant filming, editing and info. Thank you so much; great job. I saw Jaws when it first came out just after moving to South Africa as a teenager. Used to spend a lot of time in the water until I saw the film and found out how many great whites lived in these waters.

[@NickP]

I don’t blame you, it was pretty much the GW Capital of the World. I’ve been to SA, beautiful country. Thanks a lot!
