JAWS Movie Reaction (That was PG?!?!?)

Jaws (1975)
FIRST TIME WATCHING Jaws was terrifying for me. I had thought I had seen Jaws, but realized it was JAWS 4 THE REVENGE I had seen. Now I understand the hype behind this movie and it does not surprise me that Steve Spielberg went on to have such an incredible career with Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET The Extra Terrestrial and Jurassic Park. I remember my FIRST TIME WATCHING those movies and it was similar to the experience I had here. And that shark was SO realistic. A truly great job by the entire team behind this movie.

One of the jokes somewhat lost on today’s audience is the fact that Quint could crush that beer can. Back then the cans were not aluminum but tin and you really needed strong hands to crush them like that.

[@markhamstra1083]

Steel, actually. Real tin cans (not tin-plated steel) didn’t exist much after the 19th century. Of course, that just makes your point (and the can) stronger.

[@flatebo1]

@@markhamstra1083 If you look at the base of the beer can, it’s a solid, one-piece can. Steel cans had vertical lips on the edges, not the rounded contours of Quint’s can. And steel beer cans were pretty much out of use by the time the movie was made. So Quint is playing off the fact that crushing a can even at that time was a show-off move...because people remembered how hard it was to crush a steel can. Hooper is mocking Quint entirely because crushing an aluminum can, which Quint did, is about as hard as crushing a paper cup and they both know it.

I was ten the summer it came out. Saw it in the theatre. Scared the ever-loving crap out of me. My friend and I ran all the way home from the theatre, and we were over a 1000 miles from the nearest salt water. Truly scarred me for life. I’m 56 now, and am still uncomfortable in the ocean. Having said that; my favourite movie of all time!

[@patricktilton5377]

Hey, I was 10 in 1975, too, in Fargo, ND -- about as far from an ocean as you can get! To this day, it's probably the greatest film that was also a blockbuster that I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of blockbuster films in my day, and many of 'em were great, but JAWS was such a perfect film that it's impossible to find anything wrong with it. I remember some people saying that when the shark jumps onto the back of Quint's boat, that that was some kind of an exaggeration . . . but then, about a decade later, I saw footage from some nature documentary -- long before 'SHARK WEEK' became a thing -- showing a great white shark vaulting COMPLETELY out of the water, tail and all!

Moreso because the Indianapolis incident was an actual event during WWII.

[@turbulentlobster]

Quinn's death is the most disturbing scene in this entire movie, and his story about the Indianapolis is one of the best scenes of the movie.

[@csmelen]

So true my friend.

[@dmcadoo]

My entire family went to see this at the drive-in in 1975 when it came out. I was seven, i was traumatized for years by the deaths, but in particular the guy who tried to warn the kids and got his leg bitten off, and also by Quint’s horrific eaten alive scene. I couldn’t get these deaths out of my head for years, and it especially bothered me that Quint survived the war and was only one of the few survivors among 1000 sailors eaton by sharks off that warship, only to be years later eaten alive by a shark. It really messed up my seven year old head. Nowadays everyone has become so desensitized and callous to violence and gore; but back then this kind of gory death was so shocking.

We went to beach next day & a small sand shark was in a tidal pool. We freaked. It's a tradition of mine to start every summer by watching Jaws on Memorial Day weekend. I've seen the movie more times than I can count & loved it each time. Robert Shaw's monologue is the greatest acting you'll ever see.

Your reactions were spot on. Imagine being 10 years old and in a sold-out movie theater in 1975 . . . cuz otherwise you can't imagine how huge this movie was. HUGE. About a year later, a movie titled "GRIZZLY" was released, its plot a cookie-cutter rip-off of "JAWS" but about a killer grizzly bear instead. I just watched it again last month for the first time since it came out, and, oh dear, it was worse than I remembered. Fun fact: the gal who played the mother of the boy who was killed has said in interviews that random people have come up to her and asked her if she would slap them in the face -- all because of that heart-rending scene where she blames Brody's negligence for the death of her son. Of all the 'crazy fan' moments that have ever happened since the invention of the Motion Picture, that's gotta rank up there with the craziest.

To be exact, the barrels were meant to drowned the shark... White Shark need to never stop swimming to keep breathing. The more barrels you attach to him, the most easily you killed him. In the novel, the shark simply drowned and was floating attached to the barrels near Brody. A far lesser visual than the one choose by spielberg.

I loved it that much my dad bought me the magazine if the film. I still have the magazine. I bet it's worth something. Kazzy you got to remember the shark isn't real. But as you know Steven Spielberg likes to scare the actors and the people. That's the way he is. He's like Alfred Hitchcock.

[@KazzyCreates]

That's so cool that you have that magazine. Wow ❤

[@FeaturingRob]

Thanks for a great reaction. Since everyone has probably chimed in on the "Indianapolis" monologue (one of the best ever), I thought about other amazing things about the film that are interesting. So, here's a few tidbits... The backstage antics of Robert Shaw and how much he pissed off Richard Dreyfuss are part of the legend of the film. Shaw was one of the famous and infamous "Hellraisers" of British actors and musicians. Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton among the actors, and Keith Moon of The Who among the musicians. Men who were known for their very hard-drinking, womanizing, and offstage antics. Shaw would take potshots at Dreyfuss, who was a pretty serious actor at the time...and then Shaw would turn around and be very kind and funny. Shaw was ultra-competitive as well. There is also a legend about his drinking before doing the Indiana speech, that he blacked out...and then begged Spielberg to redo the scene the next morning (while he was not quite hungover, but basically still drunk). It all drove Dreyfuss NUTS, but...as the years passed, and after Shaw died (quite young in the late 1970s or early 1980s), Dreyfuss has since talked about how much he admired Shaw's talent and generosity (when he wasn't drinking or around other people on the set) and the pride he felt knowing Robert Shaw. In fact, there is a video on KZbin where Dreyfuss is interviewed for Irish television, and he talks about meeting Shaw's then 14-year-old granddaughter. It's a moving short video. The shark had a name on set..."Bruce". Bruce almost NEVER worked and because of the problems with this mechanical shark and since they were filming off of Martha's Vineyard...filming was a nightmare! Over schedule and over budget! The novel this was based on was by Peter Benchley, who appears in the film as a reporter, and he co-wrote the screenplay. Peter was the son of Robert Benchley, a member of the legendary Algonquin Round Table set of the 1920s, a group of New York-based artists, writers, actors, poets, and critics. Robert was a humorist and actor.

[@TwilightLink77]

The shark not working, and not showing it is what made the film suspenseful.

[@KazzyCreates]

I love this actor Robert Shaw. I'm Irish :-) Shaw was an incredibly talented actor. His performance in this blew me away. I guess we could also consider Shane MacGowan in that Hellraiser group, right? Or perhaps he's a bit too young. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment...I appreciate it :-)

[@FeaturingRob]

@@KazzyCreates, unfortunately, as a generational thing, Shane is too young! The Hellraisers were all born before or just after WWII, and the way of life they lived during the war made them really anxious to grab life with both hands and live it for all it was worth no matter the cost. However, Shane seems to be a Hellraiser in spirit! As for Robert Shaw...two films I recommend: 'The Sting' with Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Robert Shaw (Best Picture Winner). A very funny and kind of suspenseful movie about con men...where the villain/target of the con job is Shaw. 'A Man For All Seasons' directed by Fred Zinneman, starring Paul Scofield and Robert Shaw. Shaw plays a young and handsome King Henry VIII and it deals with Henry's desire to marry Anne Boleyn, and how Sir Thomas More (Scofield) refused to support his king over his own conscience and faith. Shaw got his only Oscar nomination...and the film won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay along with a TON of other awards...almost every award it was up for. I understand liking Robert Shaw...I'm also Irish!

Jaws devastated the beach-going tourism industry for years.

[@BlackavarWD]

Also devastated the shark population.

[@wampa25]

When I was a kid, my siblings saw this at a drive in and they took me. It traumatized me for years. Anytime they wanted to go anywhere without me, they just said they were going to see Jaws and I refused to go.

[@KazzyCreates]

Aaawwwww, that was mean....funny, LOL....but obviously a bit mean, too. I'm sorry

[@akend4426]

Apologies if anyone else has posted this, but: The massive full-sized shark animatronic (dubbed “Bruce” by Spielberg) was notorious for malfunctioning at every given opportunity during filming and held up production several times. This lead to Spielberg deciding to keep the shark hidden throughout the first half of the movie to minimize delays from Bruce’s repairs. And, as you found out, that decision made the movie even more terrifying.

[@TheDunnDusted]

Imagine what it would be like in real life if some widespread danger affected everyone's life and the politicians only cared about the public amenities, allowing more people to die. Thank goodness this cautionary tale came out forty-six years ago to teach us an important moral about putting a price on peoples lives.

Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) died in between films because he had a heart attack from the fear of the shark. So it went like this: 1975: "Smile you son of a....bitch", BOOM, yeah woo" 1978: "Open wide, say ahhhhh", ZAAAAP, yeah woo" 1986: "Oh wait that was dangerous" --> Dies

[@joelfelan8054]

[@KazzyCreates]

[@OperativeD]

Trivia time: In the original book the reason the Mayor was so adamant about "summer dollars" was because the entire town was in debt to the mob. Also Hooper was having an affair with Brody's wife. Not needed for the movie obviously, but still interesting to see the changes from book to screen.

[@andreraymond6860]

I read the book when I was 13 years old. When my older sister saw I was reading it she ripped out chapter 8 (the adulterous motel scene). I had to borrow it from the school library to read that scene! Oh, the memories!

[@hendrsb33]

The shark ate Hooper too!

[@jamessmithe5490]

Spielberg says he still has nightmares about shooting this movie because he shot it on the ocean instead of a tank and everytime he was ready to shoot the tides would change the position of the boat and the cameras and he'd have to start over again. Doubled the scheduled shooting time, as did a mechanical shark that almost never worked. But not showing the shark worked in the film's favour and not shooting under the controlled conditions of a tank gave the film more authenticity. An absolute classic.

[@dionysiaex5538]

Fun fact: Jaws was the first film I ever saw in the theater and it was when it came out in 1975. I was aged 6 at the time and don;t remember being traumatised. I still rate it as one of the best movies ever.

[@chrisbrimhall6323]

[@deborahlepage1789]

Just to give you some context in what I'm about to describe, I was born in the summer of 71. I know it was after seeing The Empire Strikes Back in theaters. I spent the night at a friend's house. During the course of the evening, I walked out of my friend's room to the kitchen to get a drink of water. During my walk back, behind the seating area toward the hallway that led to my friend's room, I glanced at the TV screen EXACTLY at the moment that the "Kitner" boy on his yellow raft was taken, and the blood from that attack seemed to geyser up. So fast and final did that strike seem, that little boy vanished without even a chance to scream. There was nothing left of his existence but the remnants of that shredded yellow raft and the blood in the water. I lived in Imperial Beach, CA, less than four miles from the beach. My fear of sharks was not just a fear it was a phobia. You have no idea of the impending terror that was and must remain voiceless, every time I sat on that beach and watched her walk out into the waves and past them to swim. Every time waiting for her to come back, time seemed to stretch to hours, to forever. So many nightmares, lol and our rust red carpet seemed like blood during the night, like bloody water, requiring me (lol) to walk on the furniture, to not die. So many nightmares, and sometimes with that stupid carton shark with the top hat who screamed "GOTCHA!" With a flash of teeth, the same way people say "Boo!" to make you jump and for you both to laugh at your brief fright. Becoming a lucid dreamer, to say "Stop" and "Rewind" in your nightmares because you must be able to control your dreams if you ever wish to not have nightmares again. The shouts you give as you watch this movie, and the way you pull your feet back, make me smile a little in memory. I watch shark movies and shark week a lot now, as if to make sure the child-like fear is burnt out, and I know enough facts to know when fear might actually be warranted. SYFY gives the best B quality movies to always let the sharks be killed, even though they're not bad guys of villains. Just animals. Thanks for sharing.

[@KazzyCreates]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story with me. WOW. WOW. WOW. How terrifying. I imagine this movie prompted a lot of shark killings. I heard that Spielberg said in the Jaws documentary that he regretted what Jaws the movie did to people's perceptions of sharks and that sharks came close to being listed as an endangered species at one point. That's very sad to me, as I have read that sharks are indeed NOT as dangerous as this film depicts them. This is an incredible movie, nonetheless 💯💯💯

[@deires77]

I first first watched this movie alone with a friend when we were about 8 years old. I sometimes (now in my early 40s) still look around when in the ocean, a lake or even in a swimming pool expecting it to grab me from below and I kid you not... I always have to pull my feet up on the couch when watching the movie.... otherwise it just might get me 🙈

[@Nepthu]

The "R" rating in the 70's had a different age restriction and the requirements for what makes a movie R-rated or PG were different. Also, the PG-13 rating hadn't been invented until 1984 when concerns were raised over movies like Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom.

[@Theomite]

Plus, it was 1975. PG standards were veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ry different.

[@toodlescae]

And Gremlins of all things was considered too frightening in the 80's..lol. Those of us who saw Jaws laughed our butts off.

[@tonygriffin_]

The barrels were empty and plastic so were extremely bouyant and were supposed to stop the shark diving below the surface. The fact that the shark can pull them underwater is a signifier of its size and strength. Nice reaction.

[@SolidSnake8295]

The first time Spielberg heard the Jaws theme he hated it as he wanted more of a swashbuckling-type theme. Thankfully he eventually came around.

[@spencerriggs9741]

Best soundtrack ever!

[@j.r.cruzaguirre2734]

Back in 1975 my parents were young and naïve. They took me and my older brother to see this at a drive-in theater. It was and is still my favorite film of all time.

[@richardsingh5827]

Best part is when the head appears in the water, made me jump, or maybe that was the sequel

[@DylansPen]

This is the movie that launched Spielberg to the stratosphere, which he followed up with Close Encounters of the Third Kind two years later and his reputation as a master director was cemented. Spielberg had wanted to show the shark many times in the movie but the mechanical shark was always breaking down so he instead 'hinted' at the shark, which actually worked better because terror is best conjured in the imagination of the audience. Having John Williams epic score in this certainly added to the success of the movie as his work on Star Wars a couple years later did as well. Watched this again and I'll add that that jump scare when Ben Gardner appeared in the whole in the bottom of his boat, Kazzy's jump scare has been waiting 46 years to happen and is the same jump scare we had back then. Happy New Year 2022!

[@Widdermaker]

THIS is the only “Jaws” movie. The rest shouldn’t have been made. One of the best movies ever made. You should have seen it in a dark theater in 1975. The audience went nuts! And they applauded twice at the end. The last one was a standing ovation. For a movie. Yeah.

[@VenathTehN3RD]

All these moments where she's so irritated and incredulous that the mayor won't shut down the beaches despite what's going on, and all I can think about is how completely unsurprising that is after 2020. It's been a weird damn year.

[@mythdusterds]

Steven Spielberg has said in the Jaws documentary that the film Jaws did encourage more humans to hunt down Sharks to almost make them an endangered species. Spielberg says that is one regret he has to making the film Jaws that it lead so many humans to hunt sharks. The truth is the amount of shark attacks on humans was not as many as humans attacking sharks.

[@KazzyCreates]

I know this to be true. My heart goes out to the sharks ❤

[@redrick8900]

Sharks have never been anywhere close to endangered. "The truth is the amount of shark attacks on humans was not as many as humans attacking sharks." As it should be. They are stupid viscous animals.

I'm fine with all scenes in this movie, except when Dreyfuss' character goes night-diving to that sunken boat and he's suprised by the one-eyed corpse. That still freaks me out, I'll literally look away if the movie is on and that scene is coming up. o.O

[@KazzyCreates]

[@rsstrazz6261]

My take is the Ben Gardner Boat Scene was inspired by a scene from Alfred Hitchcocks "The Birds"- with an equally gruesome, faster, shorter shot of a deceased person in a house.

[@Jdblackerby]

Fun Fact: The Ben Gardner head popping out scene was filmed in the editor's swimming pool just before the movie was released because Spielberg thought he needed one more good jump scare.....and it turned out he was correct!

[@heathen3550]

Robert Shaw’s monologue was a true story. USS Indianapolis, read about it. Secondary historians say it wasn’t that bad. That many of the 1100 sailors in the water drank the salt water & died that way. Yet the Canadian rescue boats that eventually arrived in 1945, their sailors said on record, “they’ve never seen so many sharks”. It was a true story. The 300 surviving sailors didn’t imagine it from heat exhaustion. They lived through it. 800 US Navy sailors were ripped about by sharks. The largest shark attack ever recorded in human history.

[@karlmoles6530]

Best reaction I have seen to this. Thank you. Also, the barrels were to drown the shark. if he can't swim, he can't breathe.

[@dunringill1747]

"He can't with three barrels on him. Not with three he can't!" The part where Quint realizes he is in over his head against a very powerful shark is a great moment in the film.

[@LA_HA]

Bruce is such an insane shark, most of the other sea life in the area just Bailed. BTW, another fun movie like this one is Orca with Richard Harris. The difference is the Orca has more in common with the whale, Moby Dick, because he's actually the protagonist. Such a good Jaws wannabe movie. Tentacles, on the other hand, is such a ridiculous B movie, it's funny.

[@Yngvarfo]

This was never intended to start a franchise like it did. Only, the huge success pretty much mandated that the studio would keep churning out sequels, three in all. Spielberg had nothing to do with them. The first sequel, Jaws 2, brought back Roy Scheider's character, but they didn't get Richard Dreyfuss. It was OK, but sorely missed the banter between the three, and didn't really work as much more than a carbon copy of the first. The other two movies are, frankly, incredibly bad. Jaws 3D has, as the title said, 3D as a gimmick, but there's no clear connection to the first two at all. I think maybe one of the characters was *supposed* to be the son, but that sounded like an excuse. Jaws 4: The Revenge. Hoo boy. Again, they didn't get Roy Scheider, so they just said that he'd been killed sometime after Jaws 2, and no, we don't get to see it, but they did, as you said, get back Lorraine Gary as his grieving widow. Spielberg did apparently think of making a film based on the real story of the USS Indianapolis, but that never happened. As others have said, many years later, there was a movie made starring Nicholas Cage, but I haven't seen it. Finally, the shooting star. Apparently, it was real, and happened purely by chance, but Spielberg thought it looked so good that he included shooting stars in many of his later movies. It became something of a trademark. I remember when I watched Jurassic World 2 recently, I noticed how much they kept copying Spielberg's style. When they had a starry night sky, I just *knew* that they'd put in a shooting star. Sure enough.

I love this movie. And love the Indianapolis speech. As for harpooning with barrels is that he harpoons them with the barrels since they float being they're filled with air, and make it hard for a shark to pull them under the water and easier to track them being stuck near the surface. The fact that this shark was so huge that it could still go under with THREE barrels on it even gave Quint a pause...

[@ninfilms]

At the time kids had balls of steel to watch films like Jaws. I was scared the first time I saw Jaws. I don't see the problem of kids watching Jaws. You can't shy away kids to avoid certain films, they need to have those scared emotion in cinema and TV. 18/R Rated I agree. Kids probably seen R rated real life than what's on at film.

[@waynezimmerman5308]

Fun fact: some of the footage where Hooper gets attacked by the shark was actually shot by Aussie husband and wife underwater photo/film team: Ron and Valerie Taylor, using a scaled down cage and stunt double. The scenes where the cage was being beaten on by the great white was an accident; when the shark got tangled in the lines and panicked. Fortunately it was able to get free without injury to itself. In regards to the film itself, the Taylors had a good laugh at those in the audience talking about how fake the shark looked while pointing at film that they knew they'd shot. Another item is the 1971 movie/documentary: Blue Water, White Death(developed and directed(in part)by Peter Gimbel); which was the first time that an extended expedition was launched to exclusively study these amazing animals. That inspired Peter Benchley to write the novel.
