Fun fact: when _Jaws_ was first test-screened, everyone in the audience was so startled by the shark's appearance that they were still screaming when Scheider said: "You’re gonna need a bigger boat." Because Speilberg didn’t want real audiences to miss the line, he & the editors extended the scene enough for people to settle back down and start paying attention again after seeing the shark; he also raised the volume of Scheider's voice for good measure.

Those changes (the ending and making the characters likeable), were essential to Jaws being as good as it is. You root for all the characters (even the mayor is sympathetic), and that is a major part of why it’s so good - particularly important to the second half of the film, as the camaraderie between the three on the boat is one of the many reasons is such a great film. ……but I’d certainly recommend people read the book if they hadn’t.

Bruce was never scheduled to be used for the beach scenes though. They were all filmed May to early July 1974. Bruce was not scheduled to be used until the Orca based scenes. The shark is hidden in the first half of the film on purpose. The very first shark incident filmed was the pier/holiday roast scene. This was filmed in late May, in just 3 ft of water. They never had any intention of using Bruce for it. Far more of Bruce was supposed to be shown during the Orca scenes but not for the beach scenes. The first half of Jaws was filmed more or less on schedule. It was the Orca based scenes where it all went wrong. 👍

"I think we're going to need a bigger boat' One of the most legendary Hollywood quotes from a movie!
What adds to this movie is realism, sharks this size do exist, and can go dark side, oceans are terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
@thickerconstrictor90372 жыл бұрын
Pretty close to that big but never as one that big ever been officially recorded. The biggest great white that was verified was 19 ft 6 in. Most of the great whites that were supposed to be like 20 plus feet were actually 17 ft or so. Deep blue is somewhere between 18 and 20 ft. There are claims of great whites over 20 ft but none have been accurately measured.
@BlitzenSpeaks9 ай бұрын
Not two weeks ago, I saw a video about a great white that big; 25ft! TRUE, they didn't get a measuring tape on it, but it was almost as big as the boat they were on! 32ft! I'd attach the video, but I don't remember the name. (I've been binge watching African Lions all weekend. No idea why these Jaws clips popped up! But I've loved the movie since I saw it in the theater!)

No one has ever recaptured the suspense like Spielberg. Also, he understood the secret to the film wasn’t playing his hand, and revealing the monster at every turn. He kept the shark “under wraps” till the last act. To make up for that, he really fleshed out the characters and made audiences care about their journey and fates.

@@roquefortfiles then Spielberg has been lying for the last 48 years he always says "oh I got lucky when the shark didn't work it forced me to go the classic suspense route where the monster that you don't see is scarier I wanted the audience to imagine just how big this shark is and I was able to do that because the damn thing kept breaking down it never worked when we wanted it to work" - this is what Spielberg has said hundreds of times since 1975 so he must be a liar saying this to make himself look brilliant which he was and is.

No. No entirely!! The shark not working had nothing to do with when it shows up in the movie. Its "Big reveal" in the chum scene in the third act of the film (Here) was in the script. It had nothing to do with the fact that it kept breaking down. The shark being kept "Under wraps" until the third act was a function of GOOD WRITING and a testament to how good the script was. They kept it off screen to ratchet up the tension. The fact that "Bruce" barely worked had nothing to do with where it was shown or revealed in the story. It finally shows up in the third act because Carl Gottlieb wrote it that way. And Steven only agreed to do the film if the shark was not fully revealed until the third act. @@moviesgalore9947

Fun facts: 1) Roy Scheider’s “bigger boat” line was actually an ad lib. Like most classic cinema, it worked so well that Spielberg left it in. It also explains why Robert Shaw is looking at him kind of perplexed. 2) They nicknamed the shark “Bruce” after Spielberg’s lawyer 3) Robert Shaw actually got drunk for the Indianapolis monologue, but was so intoxicated that he couldn’t do it. He thought that being drunk for the scene might improve the performance.
