The USS Indianapolis was a real event. It's truly a chilling story.

In the 1990's Lee Fiero (the woman who played Mrs. Kintner and slapped Chief Brody) was on vacation with a friend. She walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed they had a menu item called the Alex Kitner Sandwich. She mentioned she played Alex's mom. Suddenly the restaurant owner ran out of the back and hugged her. It was Jeff Vorhees, the actor who played her son. It was the first time they saw each other since principal shooting wrapped.

Fun fact: His entire time in the Navy, Quint didn't say "fuck" as many times as Mary Cherry did in a 45 minute video.

Ben Gardner´s head popping out from the hole is one of the best jumpscares in cinema´s history. Never fails.

Quint smashed the radio bc it was his quest, his revenge for the Indianapolis (which was real), his 10,000 dollars. He was not to be robbed of it.

"She is making a big mistake." To be fair, you already know this is a shark movie; she doesn't."

I also have to point out that the animatronics in "Jaws" still look more real than today's CGI.

Lol after Quint gets eaten. "Is Mary dead?" "No she's in shock."

"You're gonna need a bigger boat" That line was improvised

This movie still holds up. And yes, Steven Spielberg and John Williams are amazing. They still are.

Mary: I'm seeing actual blood, and it is a child! 70's PG rating: Parents may need to explain to their children that they can be savagely torn apart and devoured by giant fish with steak knives for teeth while adults watch helplessly.

Quint is Ahab. His obsession did him in. His wanting to kill the shark was his way to redeem his fellow crew members that died on the Indianapolis .

"I don't know why people think it's a good idea to go swimming when they're intoxicated." Being intoxicated means your ability to figure out what is a good idea is impaired.

In her defense, being sober wouldn't have helped.

Brody wanted to close the beach after Chrissie's death and even started doing it if you remember those first scenes, but the mayor and city council basically told him "you don't have the authority to do that without our permission" and then denied him permission to do it.

The look on Brodys face the first time he sees it when he’s tossing the chum…gets me every time.

It’s called Survivors Guilt from being in the Military and surviving USS Indianapolis sinking 1,000s went in the water 300 came out and Quint survived all that carnage

The Indianapolis story is a true one.

This film was the first "summer blockbuster." It defined the entire pattern of movie-making that has prevailed, for more than 45 years. It was Spielberg's first mega-hit.

The reason you don't see the shark very much is that the company that made the shark didn't know it was going to be used in salt water. The shark malfunctioned a lot because of the corrosive salt water. It actually made the movie better, not seeing the shark very much till the end made the movie much more suspenseful. BTW, the sharks' name is Bruce. This movie is the first summer blockbuster

I remembered when this movie came in the Summer of 1975. I was an 11 years old. No one wanted to go in the ocean.

Seeing this in a theater in 1975 was incredible. Prior to this movie, there was no such thing as the "summer blockbuster". This was the first. BTW the date I was with seeing this movie reacted pretty much as you did, as did much of the theater audience.

As an Australian, I have to admit I'm bloody surprised another Australian had never seen Jaws?🤣🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺

the dead guy in the bottom of the boat jump scare, ALWAYS got me, no matter how many times I have watched Jaws. I can know it's coming and it will still get me.

The purpose of the barrels is to tire the animal out and keep it near the surface, where it could be harpooned or even effectively shot. Also, once the animal was taken, if the barrels weren't on it, it would likely sink and then there's no evidence you got the shark. Small caliber bullets, especially shooting at something under the water, can be problematic on an animal of that size.

Did you know Jaws was filmed at the island of Martha’s Vineyard? The kid who played Alex Kitner who got eaten in that movie is the manager of a local restaurant called The wharf pub his name is Jeffrey Voorhees, If you ever plan a vacation someday you should try that island

Thanks for including the zoom closeup of Roy Scheider when he first sees the shark on the beach. It never ceases to chill my soul.

The USS Indianapolis realy happened, and it remains today one of my favorite monologue/acting moments from a Spielberg film. You cant really comment on "graphics" on films of the 70's or previous decades since CGI was almost non-existent. At least in movies.

Mary, the USS Indianapolis was a ship sunk in June of 1945, just as Quint said. That part of the move was based on a profoundly real incident, and I don't think anyone told the story better than Robert Shaw in that scene!! I love your reactions, by the way, Sweet Lady!!

So, Americans pronounce "demise" pretty much the same way you said it. Robert Shaw was a british actor, playing an American in this movie, with (his version) of an American accent. I think he was just having some fun with the word. Honestly, his accent sounds about the same as he does in his other movies, where he's playing Brits. No shade, though. The guy is, was, always will be one of the greats.

Mythbusters tackled pretty much everything that happens in this film, and pretty much the only thing they totally busted was the air tank exploding when shot. A big great white could really pull down that many barrels, and drag a boat the size of the Orca backwards at a pretty good speed.

This movie is 45 years old. Your genuine frightened reactions really tell just how well it still holds up today.

Not just a classic by THE Summer Blockbuster. Before Jaws there was no such thing as a blockbuster movie. Here with Spielberg the master of such, this was the beginning of it all.

*Now you know the references when people say when someone doesn't want to be the Mayor from JAWS, and also, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." or "...a bigger___"*

Saw this movie when I was six years old at a drive-in! It set the course of my life. Sure the shark scared the bejeezus out of me but I was mostly fascinated by Quint's story of the Indianapolis tho it took me nearly a decade to understand why: Nothing happens during the story, just words. He held the audience spellbound for 2 minutes with nothing more than words, albeit a bone-ch8lling true story but just words. I've been a writer ever since.

Fun fact: The actress at the beginning of the movie didn't know the machine in the water would pull her under and thrash her around. Those screams were genuine.

Quint's experience with sharks made him overconfident in his skill and ability, even after they realized the shark was much larger than they initially realized. He also may have been concerned about not getting his full payment if they needed a larger boat or Coast Guard assistance. He was set in his ways with how to catch sharks, but unfortunately had never been up against one as aggressive and large before, to his detriment.

I lived in Massachusetts when I was a kid. The father of a friend of mine was a real cop who was one of the cops on those boats!

Believe it or not, using standard firearms against a shark isn't as effective as you think they may be. Having to shoot through water slows bullets down, thereby reducing their penetrating power. This is why Quint was using a harpoon gun and barrels. The barrels increase the drag on the shark, causing the shark to spend more and more energy to keep water flowing over its gills. As the shark expends more energy, it starts to get tired, and in turn, swims slower. Soon it runs out of energy and effectively suffocates.

Fun fact, the shark spinning on top of the cage is actually a real shot and a real shark.

This was loosely based on a 1911 incident in New Jersey where a shark hung around a town and kill 4 people over the course of a week.

🤠 "You're gonna need a bigger" pillow, security blanket, etc... 😂

Chilling with your cat and watching Jaws together is the ultimate vibe

It was a ton of fun watching you take in a truly classic movie. Jaws is a classic for many, many reasons. And it still puts most modern movies to shame because it’s an extremely well-written film with terrific characters - something that many movies lack and try to make up for with over-bloated CGI effects. In the end, what matters most is story and characters. And it’s these two ingredients (plus many others) that make Jaws a film that people still talk about to this very day. I would like to respond to your comment after the film regarding certain choices that characters made. The man and the woman in the beginning go swimming drunk because people do dumb shit all the time when they’re drunk. Swimming in the ocean, driving a car, shooting a gun... you name it, people have done it while inebriated. As for Quint destroying the radio on his own boat, he was a man who was obviously haunted by his past. He was a proud, capable man who was obviously an alpha male in most situations. Being a man that was used to being in control, Quint started to unravel the moment the shark showed up and continuously demonstrated to Quint that he was not going to be the one in control. Quint destroyed the radio because he was a frazzled mess and he couldn’t handle the shark beating him at his own game. Like most of the characters in Jaws, Quint is a multi-layered character and is one of the reasons people love this film almost 50 years after it first came out.

Non Americans might not know that the 4th of July is a big Day for tourist towns as it is Americas Independence day holiday.

swimming drunk at night at mid-atlantic beaches, ie beaches from North Carolina thru Massachusetts, is fun as hell, and normally save because the only danger fish is a shark and they are so rare that if this movie never came out, no one on the east coast would even give it a passing thought. and if you are now a fan of John Williams, watch the 1984 Olympic fanfare, he composed the music for that as well.

Fun fact. "We're going to need a bigger boat!" Wasnt in the script. He just said it and they kept it in, and ended up been the most iconic line. Lol Also, your reactions are adorable. :)

Almost every actor besides Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, and Robert Shaw (I may have misspelled their names) were actually locals who lived on the island. The making of the movie is almost better than the movie.

Quint destroyed the radio when Brody said he was going to ask for assistance from the Coast Guard. Maybe Quint thought that if the Coast Guard helped in killing the shark, he wouldn't be paid.

8:25 I love Aussie's uncanny ability to insert so many letters and syllables into words when unnecessary. "NOUGHH" "NOURRRR"

Your reactions when he's in the cage are priceless 😂

Swimming at night is one of the best things. So calming and relaxing. And the silence 😌

You can do it ! I saw it in the theater when I was 9 years old - crazy what they considered PG back in the 1970's. : )

This film had the opposite effect on me as a kid it started my love of sharks specially the Great White and made me want to go in the sea even more. Sharks are fascinating and beautifully creatures. 🦈❤️ I’d love to swim with them one day.

The person playing the reporter on the 4th july beach is Peter Benchley the Author of the book "Jaws" that the film was based on...

So, another classic you should check out - if you haven't already seen it - is Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho from 1960.

That Quint Indianapolis scene gives me shivers every time.

It’s rated PG because PG-13 didn’t exist yet.

The head scene is the single most effective jump scare in cinema history. I've watched this movie countless times, and it gets me every time.

I’m not sure a sober person in the water could beat either a shark or a crocodile.

At that point, I recall there being only these ratings: G for everyone, PG for more mature audiences (some strong moments), R for 18 and older, and X for porn. In order to garner more audiences, Spielberg avoided the R rating by arguing that a shark doesn’t typically attack humans on land. It’s an exotic situation.

Fun Fact: John "Johnny" Williams wrote the theme for the TV series "Lost in Space." Steven Spielberg's next film would be "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" from 1977, music by John Williams.

The Mayor is definitely the true villain. The Shark is just hungry and has a Homo Sapiens craving.

Fun fact: in the novel, Hooper has an affair with Brody's wife.

Sydney in july is bloody freezing. Today in Sydney : 17C. Oh australians, you should come visit northern europe or canada and experience -40C.

Fun note: Jaws was inspired by the 1916 shark attacks in Matawan, New Jersey (a coastal resort town). Though it's accepted now that the shark was a bull shark (which is how it got upstream into fresh water).

16:47 - Great 2 for 1 Reaction. M.C and her cat over her left shoulder. The expression on the cat's face is priceless.

Quint destroyed the radio because if the Coast Guard kills the shark Quint doesn't get his ten thousand...$$$$$

I would say Jaws 2 is also quite good too, some good scares and edge of your seat moments. But I would say don’t go past that, it does for me of course get a bit unrealistic.

I always thought people would be smart enough to close the beach if there was an obvious danger killer shark, but then COVID hit.

Bruce the shark (Spielberg named him after his lawyer) was found up a palm trees in a junkyard. He's now been restored and going displayed in the Academy for Motion Picture Arts in LA.

Why would you go into the water when the movie is about shark attacks??? 😂😂 FUN FACT: the mechanical shark had many issues during the shootings, it never worked for most of the time. that's why we can see it clearly just in the last scenes, when it finally started to work as intended.

To this day, I still can't imagine how Robert Shaw screamed that long and that loudly without wrecking his vocal chords.

Sooooooo happy to hear you give a shout out to John Williams who, without a doubt, gives every movie he scores an extra level. Spielberg films don’t have a fraction of the emotion without his music…

Dont know if I got more pleasure from reliving my own memories of sitting in a Chicago theatre in June of 1975 or watching your reactions to it.... Which were Identical!

One of the best films of all time! My personal second favorite of Spielberg's filmography, right behind Jurassic Park!

This movie works on many levels. A simple adventure story or a allegory of man vs nature and also man vs his own greed.

I still remember how when my grandpa and his wife of the time came over, and she had never seen Jaws. At the Ben Gardner jump scare, she actually screamed and covered her face with a pillow.

30 minutes into your review, when Quint destroys the radio, is the moment when it is clear that he has turned from Quint to Ahab.

In the book alot of the business's on the island have ties to the Mafia, which is why the Mayor is so determined to keep the beaches open.

The shark was an animatronic. It didn't work well in the salt water. That's why the shark isn't seen for most of the movie. Spielberg called the shark Bruce after his lawyer.

I can't be the only one that loves the mayor's suits lol

Fun Fact: The actor who played the kid with the dake fin was just named Sherri in the community where the film took place.

I think Quint smashed the radio because survival guilt. He made it through the USS Indianapolis sinking because of the help of others, he wasn’t going to accept the help again to defeat this shark. It was was going to be him or the shark this time /And Mary seemed to have gone full Hudson this review... “That’s it! Game over, Man!”

A fun fact: The woman who played the first victim was an animal specialist of sorts, and helped sound designer Ben Burtt record sounds of various animals for a small film that would come out two years later (and surpass Jaws as the biggest film of all time) called Star Wars. She found him a particular near that would be the basis of Chewbacca’s voice!

Since the reaction video was two years ago, and I didn't read the old comments, it may have been mentioned ... but when "Chief Brody" said "you're gonna need a bigger boat" that wasn't in the script, it was an ad lib, one of the most famous ad libs ever. He was supposed to just back into the cabin of the boat and stand there staring out looking petrified and "Quint" would notice it and then look out. But a great line popped into Roy Scheider's head and he went with it. --- And a little trivia about the tiger shark that was used in the film, which also may have been mentioned, is it was already dead long enough to stink really bad. People were getting sick being near it. So they set up large fans off camera to blow fresh air over the actors and blow as much of the stench away as possible. That's why it looks like it's a breezy day and you see some people's hair moving. --- And while I'm at it. In another movie you reacted to, "Chasing Amy," the scene in the bar where "Alyssa" and "Banky" were exchanging stories of being hurt during sex, it came from the scene in "Jaws" where "Quint" and "Hooper" were comparing scars. The set/the booth was made to look very much like the cabin of "Quint's ship," including the windows and the hanging light. Even some of the dialog was partially used, like "that's permanent" after telling how she fell asleep while going down on a girl and the girl got so mad she dug her heel into "Alyssa" and when "Alyssa" said "my right knee is cut up all to shit like a kiddy's scissor class cut it up for paper dolls."

Hi Mary , I love the way you present your reviews on movies ! You are one of few that play all the gory parts without ruining the movie ! Keep up the great work. !

the 70s and 80 when parents/movie werent afraid to scare the pants off kids.. what a couple of decades i miss those times

If you’re looking for more older movies that still hold up well today, I recommend The Towering Inferno.

Best quote from this video, after Quint shot the shark with the first barrel: "I'm feeling good about this scene. I think they have a chance." - Mary Cherry

The cage attack footage was filmed in part down in South Australia. That's where the real sharks were filmed by Ron and Valerie Taylor for this film and Jaws 2.

Ohhhhhhhhh, this is a movie You sure are going to enjoy

Spielberg is a master of lighting and color...the beach scene when Alex Kittner is killed, everybody that has yellow on is effected by the shark.....the dog owner, alex, his mother....just amazing

I love how long it takes to actually see the shark, yet it's still terrifying. It's genius. Also, Quint at the end, pushing the engine too hard? He's afraid of the shark. So good.

Finally. I love it seeing you Screeming, shocked, and frightened! ♥️ 😍 It's the Best in your Reactions and It's so funny! ♥️

I'd have took those two kids home that pulled the prank and gave them a whooping they'd never have forgotten.

“Corners Office.” Hey Sheriff, you’re gonna need some “White Out” to fix that.

Your reaction to the head scene is just priceless!

She needs to watch it again. I don’t think she understood much about the story or appreciated what an amazing movie this is.
