I agree with Iain; the pond attack is far more scary, if for no other reason than the shark looked so realistic in that scene.

Love the reviews guys, your passion and enthusiasm is eclipsed only by your sense of fun. Keep it up chaps. I request that you review the British Nuclear War films THREADS and 'When The Wind Blows' next and maintain your endearingly bumptious sense of humour. *Throws down gauntlet

[@Destroya7961]

Fun fact years after this movie mrs kitner went back to the island and went to a restaurant and saw on the menu that they were still serving the Alex kitner sandwich and told the waitress or waiter that she played his mother in jaws and the waiter or waitress went to get her boss and he rushed out to see her and it just so happens that the owner is the grown up guy who played Alex they hadn't seen each other since the movie what a small world

[@habovay3]

The joke was: Brody's potential contribution to the scar contest is a routine surgical scar from an appendix procedure. Yet he forfeits, since it's not as manly a wound as Quint's or Hooper's. If Brody's scar had been the result of a gun shot, especially one received in the line of duty, I'm sure he would've played the man card and joined in.

[@yarsivad000.5]

Alan Beauvais Exactly what I always thought. Great joke and these guys missed it. How,it's so obvious. One my favorite movie moments.

[@mattduck69er]

@@yarsivad000.5 it's funny because I too always thought that it was something badass in his NYC days but he just wasn't really feeling like part of the gang yet. I also thought this because he is standing up and away from the guys in the scene. But yeah you guys make more logical sense.

[@racewiththefalcons1]

I believe this is explained in the book.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

In the Mad magazine satire of Jaws,when Hooper and Quint are showing off their scars,Brody(Roy Scheider)points at his face and says:”See that?l got that from Gene Hackman in The French Connection.”

Interesting trivia: Dick Warlock, the man who played Michael Myers in Halloween II and one of the robot people in Halloween III, was actually the stunt double for Richard Dreyfuss during the shark cage sequence in Jaws.

[@jimbowlan5804]

Part of that footage is actually from Rodney fox the guy who actually invented the shark cage and the cage actually broke on him when a shark broke it and he swam away Spielberg loved it so much they changed the ending

[@Tarotlynx]

The scene where Ellen first defends Michael being in the boat, then opens the book and changes sides, is listed as among the best five moments in the movie. It's my favorite scene.

[@johnnymcauliffe1289]

I live in a beach town on an island. Every year, on the first Saturday of the season, our town sets up a huge screen and sound system on the sand, yards from the ocean shoreline. At sunset, everyone in town brings their beach chairs and blankets, snacks and beers, and we all sit on the sand and watch JAWS on the big screen...free admission. The town takes care of everything, it's great! We all recite the classic lines along with the film and everyone cheers at the end. It's great fun, and has become an annual tradition. Some of the tourists love it while some others hate it because they get scared. Hahaha.

Sometime in the late 1990's I went back home to NYC. One day, I drove up the north side of LI Sound, along CT, and got on to this big-ass Ferry and crossed the sound to LI. What a great ride that was!

[@blackveilkade]

To be honest my favourite bit in jaws (the only good one:)) was when hooper dove down to retrieve the tooth and then the head drifts in front of the hole, awesome jumpscare. Then there’s the bit where quint is being dragged down the deck by the shark, his legs being crushed and he’s spewing blood out his mouth. Awesome death.

[@Kains_Gaming_Channel]

Ians intro should've said. "And I'm Bruce". The name of the shark.

[@hookybrickshooky9529]

It's probably already written in the comments somewhere but here is a fun fact about the opening scene: The stuntwoman who gets attacked by the shark reprises her role in another Steven Spielberg movie which is called 1941- this time with a Japanese U-Boat instead of a shark. :D

[@thomasbabilon9146]

JAWS is a masterpiece...10/10 JAWS 2 is a fun sequel. Better than some give it credit for. Obviously not as great as original. 7.5/10

[@jimbowlan5804]

I’d give 2 an 8 some sequels are better than the orginal not in this case it definitely is an inferior film but it was a complete 20 steps down for 3 and four is a 0 out of 10

[@gnc623]

Let me defend the cage sequence. Gary mentions why didn't they poison the chum? Well, the poison was apparently in liquid form so even if they mixed it with the chum, throwing it into the water, wouldn't that wash it away or at least highly dilute it? And the reason Hooper got into the cage was because the ship was sinking. It wasn't a smart idea in and of itself, but like Hooper said to Brody, who at first protested, "You got any better suggestions?" If the ship hadn't been sinking, then yes, it would have been foolish. But the ship was sinking (hence Quint throwing Brody and Hooper life jackets before Hooper decides to go into the cage.) So at that point, all of them going into the water was inevitable, so it made the most sense to do everything they could to at least kill the shark before the ship completely sunk and they being all out there on the water.

[@mrtaylor4279]

I disagreed with your review on this point too. Hooper had no choice but to get in the shark cage. Rather get in the cage and try and kill the shark then sink and die anyway. Even if the poison would work in the chum (which it wouldn't) Quint was Captain and calling all the shots. He was against Hoopers science and relied on his own knowledge of fishing and sharks. Hooper did try and use some of the tech he had on board behind Quints back by attaching the tracker device to the barrel but using poison in the chum may have been a step to far. Also the events in the second half of the movie transpire the way they did to allow Brody to be the hero. Experienced shark Fisherman gone, shark expert gone. Guy with fear of water and no experience of sharks.... smile you son of a bitch!!!! As a side note Brody only makes physical contact with the sea after the shark is killed. This is the only time he enters the water during the entire movie apart from when he gets his ankles wet to carry his son out after the pond scene. This is interesting from a psychological point of view- as his phobia is rational rather then irrational. If he had entered the water at any point before killing the shark he would have died especially at the point when the Orca was sinking. I find it really interesting that they played an irrational fear as something totally rational. Great movie and a great review. THANK YOU!

[@les4767]

Not to mention, a shark sinks when it dies. They couldn't poison the chum before they got the barrels into him, or they'd never recover the body.

[@roberthanson6156]

Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist. At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”

The difference between Jaws and other shark movies is that I'm interested in Jaws even when it's not focused on the shark. From the Brodys, to the mayor, to Hooper, or Quint's marvelous USS Indianapolis story, it's a captivating movie all around where you're not JUST always waiting for the shark to appear to be interested in the movie. Jaws is one of the best movies ever made, period. Jaws 2, I think is a decent-good sequel - I do like it and enjoy it, and not that it subtracts in any way from the first one, but the fact that they do have ANOTHER huge rogue shark that is also a great white does make the premise seem a little less credible. And as Gary hinted at, the notion of a shark seeking revenge, that the fourth film would fully execute in all its absurdity, was actually introduced here. When Brody is on the beach the marine biologist and the dead killer shark, Brody says to her, "You don't think if one [shark] was destroyed that another one could come along and -" and she interjects "Sharks don't take things personally, Mr. Brody." The implication that audience is supposed to get from that, of course, is, yes they do.

[@oskar_oskarewicz]

What can I say about the Jaws what haven't been said before. It's a masterpiece! I was lucky enough to watch it on a big screen year and a half ago. All of those iconic scenes and all of those classic lines (this movie is packed with them!) in a theatre, whoa, such an overwhelming experience. I loved it! Two days a go I did a rewatch, and followed it with Jaws 2 the next day. When I was a kid I used to love Jaws 2 as well. Well, now it's not as impressive anymore :) I guess it is a decent sequel over all, sure, Sheider is good as always. But I was really surpirsed how little memorable scenes it's got, in comparison to the OG movie. I guess the helicopter attack and final kill are memorable, but rather in a more silly/over the top way. Its' pretty dull character wise, tension wise too. I now need to rewatch 3 and 4, but I guess I will leave it for the next summer :) Cheers guys!

[@LoneWolfeMedia]

I'm so happy you made mention of the novelization, which is far superior to the finished project and imho, could have rivaled the original if allowed to be made. Typical studio meddling of course kept us from getting this "darker, more grim" version of Amity Island, but as it stands, Jaws 2 is one of the best Hollywood sequels ever made.

Another fun fact for you: during filming for jaws 2 Murray Hamilton aka mayor Vaughn up and left the set without telling anybody and David Brown caught him at the airport and told him to sit down David then asked Murray what he was doing and Murray said “David I could give a shit about my career to hell with my career my wife is going through a biopsy for cancer and I want to be with her” and David said “Murray I completely understand what do you say we finish up all your work on the movie in the next two days and then we’ll send you on your way?” and Murray agreed to that, Murray died a few years after that so when you watch the movie knowing that story look at Murray’s face he looks very drawn doesn’t he almost as if his appearance was foreshadowing his death rest in peace Murray

[@ChristinaHeadley-sk2ig]

The character of the mayor pissed me off because by not closing the beach, he basically rang the dinner bell for the shark.

I think this criticism of the TEENAGERS in the film not being "deep" enough "characters" is just a bit stupid. People THAT YOUNG do NOT normally tend to have a lot of "back story" and "characterization" because they don't have much of a HISTORY yet, especially compared to the older characters. Besides, sometimes you just like to see good looking young folks in a movie.

[@stunningandbrave7475]

While shark attacks are rare, Jaws is the film that keeps the idea alive in the back of my mind that there is a shark in the water every time I go to the beach.

[@jimbowlan5804]

Shark attacks have gone up since the first film because we nearly hunted sharks to extinction and as a result sea lions and seals have shot up and they swim near us so attacks have gone up but still rare to be eaten they never eat you

Jaws wasn't Spielberg's first theatrical release. The year before he made his cinematic debut with The Sugarland Express with Goldie Hawn and William Atherton, which was also produced by Zanuck and Brown. You also fail to mention the real screenplay writer Carl Gottlieb (who wrote the Jaws chronicle). Lorraine Gary was the wife of Sid Sheinberg and Spielberg made a political decision to cast her as at Universal he was known as the son of Sid Sheinberg. Scheider did not want to make the sequel but was contractually required to appear and had suffered from the commercial failure of William Friedkin's brilliant thriller Sorcerer (which you have reviewed elsewhere).

NADS IQ Blue Thunder. He was also in The French Connection and 2010. 2010 I particularly loved, preferred it to 2001 but he may have had something to do with that. Or the writing, setting him up as guilt ridden family man - we didn't know anything about David Bowman. We thus cared more for Heywood Floyd, we also cared more for him though because a face everyone was familiar with by then was playing him.

Another fabulous review lads. But I need to point out apart from Spielberg, Dreyfuss, Bill Butler and Verna Fields all the other main contributers who worked on Jaws also worked on Jaws 2. Obviously Dreyfuss a big loss, but I don't see how he could have worked in the sequel. Verna Fields was promoted within Universal Pictures, however she had influence over the project, and Michael Butlers work on the movie was beautiful and just right for what Jeannot Szwarc was trying to accomplish. Jaws 2 is a great sequel, and let's not forget John Williams fabulous score which is just as every bit as good as the original.

Shaw gave a close depiction of the actual events of USS Indianapolis. Remarkable as much of the story was covered up at the time.

[@johnmiller5679]

I like to think this was a rouge shark and not indicative to all sharks. Sharks may want to swim towards the boat due to all the blood in the water but if Brody and Hooper wo I’lld be swimming away those sharks would have little interest in them. Sharks are fish and fish are stupid so a shark wants food and the dead shark combined with what’s left of Hoopers body will hood them over. Also unless the sharks are close by they are not just going to show up immediately. I’m glad they did not have this scene because it’s just so much more effective this way.

I never noticed the yellow barrell before in the 2nd movie. That felt like a mandell effect😂

[@johnmiller5679]

I’m some instances I like Jaws 2 better the. The original. The first half of the original I loved but when it got to the second half I got out of the movie. Now I love the second half but I was around 10 when the original came out so for me at the time the hunting the shark scene was a different movie. The second one I was a little older and was just started to notice girls so the high school kids in this movie interested me. I really related to that.

I always have to look away when poor Marge gets it.

Jaws 2 is my favorite Jaws movie. Sequels that are just remakes are the shitty ones, but sequels that are new chapters are the good ones; The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens.

You are right they proved on mythbusters that it would just go right out the sharks backside

[@TheWaynos73]

You should read about the story when Leonard DiCaprio almost got killed by a great white shark when cage diving off South Africa a few years back - fking freaky

Why didn't you guys show Quint's death scene?

[@amberfoster7258]

this is the movie that gave me a fear of shark , I have gotten over that fear but if I watched the movies again I would regain that fear

[@ChristinaHeadley-sk2ig]

This movie has made me afraid to go back into the water!

[@waynesWyrdWorld]

For me, Quint's little companion stole the whole movie.
