[@amybradley5821]

In the theater everyone stood up and cheered at the end. It was awesome

[@ryanbuckley5529]

And my mom still won’t go swimming at the beach 😂

[@amybradley5821]

@ I grew up on a beach in Florida and after seeing Jaws I took up scuba diving and wanted to become a marine biologist!

[@michaelalbino1006]

This is currently the second-oldest movie the RT TV gang have watched. Jaws was inspired by a book. And the book was inspired by a real life event. The 1916 Jersey Shore shark attacks. In July 1916, several people were killed by a shark. Eventually, a Great White Shark was caught, with human remains in it. But most marine biologists believe the real culprits were Bull Sharks, since they are one of the few sharks that can swim in both freshwater and saltwater. And the biggest shark in existence is the Whale Shark, a harmless filter-feeder. Second largest is the Basking Shark. Sharks aren't very intelligent despite being around for almost 450 million years. There are many species of different sizes and shapes. My personal favorite is the Thresher Shark with its long tail that it uses to stun prey.

[@VengefulPurity]

I can’t remember the name of the documentary; but I think these experts determined that it was in fact a great white that caused those attacks due to the moon phase at the time of the attacks. They claimed that with the high tide of sea water into the river, there was enough saltwater for a great white to have survived, and that it was also a juvenile great white that was the culprit.

[@Ashmo613]

Actually, it was a bull shark, as it happened in a river near the mouth of it.. Bull sharks can swim in both saltwater and freshwater. They can go from the ocean and swim right up a river.

[@forestcatkay14]

@@Ashmo613 and far inland rivers like the Ohio river

[@Ashmo613]

@forestcatkay14 Yeah, some get ambitious. That's why I swim in swimming pools or lakes--nothing connected to the ocean.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

At least one of the ocean attacks in 1916 was the work of a large great white according to some experts like Mark Marks. The attack on Charles Bruder. There were probably different sharks involved, like in Egypt in 2010. A bull shark is a likely candidate for the creek attacks although the water wasn't fresh water and bull sharks are not really known off New Jersey. Peter Benchley claimed he wasn't inspired to write Jaws because of the 1916 attacks but I'm not convinced by that. He must have been, even subconsciously. Frank Mundus catching a 4,500 pound great white shark off Long Island in 1964. Benchley thought "what happens if one of these came in to a beach community and wouldn't go away?".

[@stuffdude6212]

Different times bro. This movie traumatized an entire generation against going to the beach for a good amount of time.

[@mildredpierce4506]

The movie was the beginning of the Summer Blockbuster era.

[@SonofAGunFrom410]

For anyone curious. This movie came out before PG-13 was a thing. Back then it was just PG and R. Meaning the PG films at the time could have violence and even nudity.

[@adamkhan7736]

Shark killed five people. There was Ben Gardener in the boat who's eye was hanging out which scared Hooper out of the water. Quint was the fifth victim. The name Quint is derived from the word "fifth" . I saw this movie in 1975.😮 😮

[@Stogie2112]

The town of Amity respected and trusted Ben Gardner. He always kept an eye out for them.

[@scottjones758]

Remember there is Jaws 2

[@I_ll_beer_back]

The boy is eaten by the shark, the blood spurts and the 2nd guy from the right starts laughing... ? 😮

[@mildredpierce4506]

I have seen two stupid girls react to jaws and at the beginning when the girl is being jerked around by the shark, one of the stupid girls said why can’t she just stand up? I don’t think I watched their entire reaction because of their stupidity. They also reacted very stupidly to the exorcist. Since I never have, nor do I ever want to watch the exorcist, I did not watch the reaction. I only read the comments. Almost all the comments to their reaction to the exorcist were negative.

[@alicenyte7674]

You cannot compare tremors to jaws 😂 jaws is an all-time classic. Tremors was a straight to tv low budget comedy/horror in the 90s.

[@brainofjtd]

Tremors was not straight to tv, video maybe, but they didn’t have F bombs on TV movies lol

[@mildredpierce4506]

Tremors is more like a homage to 1950 sci-fi

[@Patti-sg1fv]

Agree 💯 Tremors and Jaws come from two different spheres of influence and should never be compared to each other no matter what.

[@anthonymunn8633]

The first Tremors was a theatrical release.

[@cindyspangler3982]

Saw this in the theater in 1974. In Florida. Yeah, nobody went into the water for a year. Fun fact: the shark was mechanical, and rarely worked. Rusted alot. So, the directors decided to use the yellow barrels to indicate where the shark was. They also used side camera shots. There was alot of fear the movie would fail. Turned out, the way they had to film the shark, left mystery and suspense for the audience...which worked better then the full shark. The very first movie in history to be labled a "summer blockbuster".

[@English_MoFo]

More like 10 years

[@cindyspangler3982]

@English_MoFo True, the thought of sharks never left our minds.

[@frankp9324]

Jaws was Spielberg’s first hit movie.

[@mildredpierce4506]

And Duel was his first full length movie

[@babygoblingamer]

(fun facts) (1) the tiger shark they used in the movie was an actual carcass and they filmed with it for several weeks before it started to stink to much (2) Steven Spielberg also regretted writing jaws the way he did because people were using it as an excuse to kill/slaughter lots of sharks

[@siiiiiuu7]

This movie made me seriously afraid of sharks as a kid, but as an adult, I've learned that the majority of sharks aren't ever trying to attack humans and if anything, some even save humans and ask us for help if they're injured. Of course, aggressive predators will always exist, so better to be safe

[@Grimbear13]

So the kid who said "He made me do it" when they pulled the shark fin prank later in the movie. He grew up and became the actual mayor of the town they shot the movie in I'm pretty sure.

[@RichardM1366]

He became the chief of police.

[@garyzink1927]

Police chief later in life is correct. Many of the actors were just people from the town. Great movie, but the exorcist scared me more lol!

[@DeborahVerret-yp9fp]

Best suspense thriller ever.

[@Ashmo613]

The sun is going down in the beginning. A lot of shark attacks happen right around dusk, as sharks begin to hunt at that time of day.

[@johannesbowers7467]

Fun Fact: During filling of the cage sequence a real shark of that size rolled up on Location and they got live footage of it ... Better than Bruce the mechanical shark which always had operational problems.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Biggest sharks caught on a rod and reel have been great whites of nearly 3,500 pounds and 17ft. Beyond that size no chance. Quint immediately switches to the harpoon and barrel as soon as he sees it 😂.

[@missk8185]

- The guy to the far left doesn't talk - his facial expressions say it all - The 2nd guy to the left looks like Takeoff - The other 2 guy are the most vocal All of you guys are awesome - I just subscribed!

[@jp3813]

Guy on the far left got all the hot takes. Be glad when he doesn't talk. lol

[@Barada73]

This movie is one of the reasons that I live more than 750 miles from the nearest ocean.

[@georgeprchal3924]

This movie coined the term Block Buster because the foot traffic to go see it actually damaged the sidewalk. It was the original Block Buster.

[@DrD0000M]

PG-13 didn't exist until 1984, so it was gonna be PG or R and the studio wouldn't release a summer movie like this as R, they'd lose so many tickets.

[@ryanbuckley5529]

Red Dawn 🙂 it couldn’t be PG but not enough for R, I’m sure you know that though

[@BeyondInfinity_XD]

This movie got me into playing the Hungry Shark Evolution app game.

[@falcon215]

I saw this in the theater the first week it came out. Living not far from where it was filmed and took place, being an avid beach bum it made for one scary summer!

[@Mr.Greeeeeen]

This movie is the best one, 70s still rocks! 👊🥂🦈

[@garyzink1927]

You guys were a trip to watch! A better clasic from same time is the Exorcist, directors cut. Scared me shitless. Best true movie, Hacksaw Ridge, best war hero, never picked up a gun. Directed by Mel Gibson. You guys rock, thanks for making my day! Peace from Northern Michigan.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

In no way is the Exorcist better than Jaws and it's nowhere near as classic or as iconic.

[@checkdown3774]

Goat movie..

[@Ani8900]

22:40 I've think this is the scene where it was actually a real shooting star that went across the sky

[@clarkness77]

It's not real lol

[@Ani8900]

@ maybe, but one of them was… Though it is possible that both of them may not be real considering they're still debating on it.

[@clarkness77]

There's no debate. Spielberg's confirmed it

[@Ani8900]

@ hmm...(looking back on it) you're right the information I got that From was old. My mistake

[@ScreamingScallop]

Rated PG, yes, but all promotion came with the warning "May Be Too Intense For Younger Viewers." In the MAD Magazine parody back in the day, Brody says that's "like trying to scare ants away from a picnic by pouring sugar on the ground."

[@ryanbuckley5529]

The movie “Red Dawn” was the first PG-13 movie in 1984, so before that it was either G PG or R

[@TheCountBlackula1978]

Dude to the left fell asleep like 20 times😂😂😂😂😂

[@Oakland510]

He sleeps in every show

[@RichardM1366]

My favorite part of the movie is when Quint and Hooper bury the hatchet.

[@jpkc86]

There is similar movie about a Killer Whale that came out 2 years after (1977) Jaws called 'Orca the Killer Whale' (also PG... lol but...) that is really effing dark! It stars Richard Harris which you will someday see whenever you do the movie Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood movie). I would watch it before watching Jaws 2 and it'd be unique - hardly anyone has ever reacted to it that I've seen. PG movie that is not on Jaws level but it's crazy disturbing and the best knock off Jaws movie in my opinion!! Shouldn't be PG probably but I'm a gen X kid and we were built different haha!

[@roosterace223]

I remember me and my uncle watched this movie I gotta say seeing the shark come outta nowhere beneath the water is still hair raising a bit😳. My uncle Zack told people were to afraid to go to the beach after this movie and you saw why😅.

[@jamierobards2443]

In 1975 they only had G, PG, and R ratings. PG13 was added in the early 80’s.

[@jonathan.s993]

Some horror films were PG at the time because it was a different time back then Jaws 2 has a lot more kill count.

[@forestcatkay14]

Incredibly this movie is 50 years old and still making an impact. Sadly the impact on shark species has been bad however thanks to shark fans we now have Shark Week which helps educate the public that sharks arent evil killing machines. White Shark Ocean KZbin channel has some incredible videos of sharks, primarily GWs.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Sharks were already being killed before Jaws. It's just that hardly anyone cared as they weren't fashionable and people simply weren't interested in them. Jaws made people fascinated, and science jumped on the bandwagon. In reality the Asian shark finning industry, commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes wiped out way more sharks, and none of them had anything to do with Jaws. Just saying. Cheers

[@rendellparquette9314]

Yall doing jaws 2 or what

[@natashapena76]

The PG-13 rating wasn’t invented until Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which came several years after this. It was a straight jump from PG to R I believe.

[@katra777]

Jerry already falling asleep at the beginning. He also trashes classic movies often.

[@SeriousPUNCHTvAnime]

Watch tears of the sun, blood diamond and beast of no nation In a row. That would be lit

[@Oakland510]

BEASTS OF NO NATION FACTS. The child main actor was amazing

[@jabrak1]

PG-13 wasn't a thing back then. PG means parental guidance not necessarily for kids only.

[@terryconnelly484]

3000 Dollars in 1975 is worth 18,000 dollars today

[@jaysonb.6669]

It's actually worth a lot more buying power if you calculate the average price of housing back then.

[@terryconnelly484]

​@@jaysonb.6669 just trying to simplify for the people keep it simple stupid

[@buddy3167]

19:10 clearly you geniuses have never been a shark fishing before all that stuff you see him doing is what it takes to catch a shark

[@mildredpierce4506]

How many people go shark fishing? I know people who fish but never for sharks.

[@atariboy9084]

Why this movie was PG because PG-13 was never made until 84 when Steven Spielberg ask the MPAA rating board to make one for his film Temple Of Doom but the first movie that came out under PG-13 was Red Dawn.

[@braw3534]

The real life Jaws incident that this is extremely loosely based on. Was actually about a Bull Shark in real life not a great white. But in a movie Great whites are more cooler cause they're way bigger makes for better movies

[@lyndoncmp5751]

It was likely multiple sharks. At least one of the ocean attacks (Charles Bruder) was a large great white.

[@Ashmo613]

It's rated PG because at the time there was no such thing as PG-13. Rated R then was a bit strong. So, unless a movie was entirely inappropriate for a younger teenagers to come see on their own, it got a PG. R was for things like The Exorcist. PG-13 was invented in the 80's because they realized that there were a lot of movies that should be higher than PG but didn't quite need an R.

[@badimagerybyjohnromine]

I hate to be uhm ahctually but sharks are afraid of other sharks blood it scares them away.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Only sharks of the same species.

[@sensaiuriah5440]

Y'all gotta watch Bones and all, and Don't look up both are fire movies 💯

[@rendellparquette9314]

Cool fact those piranha movies in the same universe as jaws ole boy with the glasses the the biologists in the last piranha movie

[@522abet]

The only reason this movie was rated PG was because at the time it came out there was no PG-13 rating and it wasn’t bad enough to be R.

[@jjsdad4952]

The dude who lost his leg doesn’t care, cause he’s dead.

[@thecrimsondragonslayer6533]

Please watch Dog Soldiers

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

The shark also killed pipette the dog.

[@ians3207]

It was a PG because we weren't all f'kin snowflakes back then, not like today where people get offended by everything.

[@RedPandaGirl002]
