I have a shirt that says “just remember that the mayor in Jaws is also the mayor in Jaws 2. It is so important to vote in your local elections.” Love this reaction! Thanks for a fun time! 😁

The USS Indianapolis speech is one of the best acted scenes ever captured on film

Alex Kintner was the boy who was attacked out on his raft -- Several decades after the filming of Jaws (1975), Lee Fierro, who plays Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago. The owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her - none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot.

8:30 - 8:48 "This is why black people don't go into the water..." 9:19 "...I don't care! You eat my dog I'm gonna turn into Aquaman!" Oh my goodness brother! I don't know if I can make this review in one sitting! I am laughing so hard I probably wet my pants 👖 🤣

Spielberg is so good at capturing moments between characters that seem totally authentic and real, not scripted.

Fun Fact: The reporter on the beach on the 4th of July is Peter Benchley, the author of Jaws. Fun Fact: My Grandfather was college roommates with Brody actor Roy Scheider. They carpooled back and forth to school and still had dinner together every few years up till Scheider's passing. This was a favorite in my family. My favorite movie ever!

The story of the USS Indianapolis, is a true story.

Fyi, that jump scare with the dead face in the hole in the boat is the single most reliable jump scare in movies. No matter how stone cold, every single reactor jumps at that one. I hope they teach that scene in film schools.

I’m literally cracking a rib laughing so hard watching your dog’s reaction - every time he’s almost asleep, out comes the high pitch scream, and then those eyes be like 👀 😂😂😂😂

20:36 That dog just laying there thinkin'; "Th' hell is the matter with you?! I was SLEEPING!"

Back in 1975 there was no problem about the smoking, that did not occur until the late 80's with the restaurants and things. Believe me, smokers were pissed about that decision

"Gonna need a bigger boat."

Dude, I have seen this movie countless times and I have never laughed so hard. The comments. 😅🤣 I can assure you this messed up an entire generation. In fact, I would go as far as saying that Shark Week exists because of this movie. It became a necessity to teach people facts about real sharks after the damage that was done by Jaws. Everything from the script, the acting, the cinematography is perfection with Jaws. Also, your dog impersonating a kangaroo all random was the high point of the reaction. 🤣

Spread the word and get this man the subs he deserves please.

You: He better not eat that dog or that baby! Me: *visibly awkward silence*

"It's A Tiger Shark" " A Whaaaat??" lol it's the best part to see anyone's reaction to that ;)

"That's good he didn't hit that. She got crabs" 🤣 Perfect 4th of July movie. Red for the blood, White for the shark and Blue for the water. Happy birthday to Mike! 🎥 💓 🍿

Your dog must be thinking that for the last 3 months his master has gone completely crazy, talking to himself in front of this stupid magic box. He looks at you "My poor master has lost his mind..."

"she's got crabs" - LoL

The making of this movie is fascinating. Spielberg could make anything after this. Defined the phrase "Summer Blockbuster"

A whole generation was scared to go swimming after this movie.

I was 19 when this came out. The impact on society was amazing. People feared the ocean. Enjoyed your reaction as always

I remember after watching Jaws for the first time, as a kid, I was afraid of the beach, swimming pools and even the bathtub! I was even afraid of my arm hanging off the side of the bed when I was sleeping...CRAZY!!! 😄

11:25 - Chief Brody's son was actually safe in that boat. The water was only about 2 feet deep. A Great White would never be in shallow water so close to shore

I saw this in the theater when I was 13. I had no idea that it was a shark movie. Traumatizing. Quint's story about the Indianapolis was true. Living on Long Island, I noticed that the movie had indeed scared people out of the water. As a matter of fact only 14 people die every year from shark attack. 34,000 + from car accidents. Killer movie, Killer reaction! There is also the fact that there is no shark movie to beat Jaws.

"I know this is a movie that people love." Understatement. It's my favorite movie of all time. lol

I was 9 in 1975 when Jaws came out. It was rated PG so I was allowed to see it. Afterward, even bath time was scary. I could picture the shark crashing through the wall, jaws snapping! Same with the pool. I could picture the shark swimming up to the surface as I was jumping off the diving board! This movie scared the crap out of me! I still don't go in the ocean! Jaws has become my favorite movie of all time.

This is a great movie on the surface level, but I also think it's a great commentary about PTSD. Quint's obsession literally consumed him

Quint's monologue gave me more fear than the shark itself. It was brilliantly delivered. Great movie!

The way the shark died in this film resulted in loads of shark meat and blood going into the water. They say sharks can detect blood from miles away so surely that swim to shore at the end was even more perilous.

36:40 - 37:00 I’m literally wheezing, with tears in my eyes. 😂🤣😅

"You just ate Brody...ain't you full"! 🤣🤣🤣 LMAO. Jaws actually ate Quint...but your response is still great! 😀😀😀

38:49 the "bye, quint," gets me every time haha

Before I even start, Jaws is the the film that coined the theme of a Blockbuster(Blockbuster is now known as big budget films but it originally meant lines would form around the block to get into see a film and hence bust the block) With the proceeds from Jaws and Starwars. Theaters went from Single and two or three screens to Multiplex Theaters. Amazingly, we almost never got to see it because it ran 5 million dollars over budget and 100 days over schedule and pissed off residents of Martha’s Vineyard in my home state of MA that the studio almost pulled the plug on Spielberg.

When they made the animatronic sharks, the crew made them to be shot in freshwater. Unaware that the filmmakers would be filming in saltwater, which made "Bruce" malfunction a lot while filming. We were supposed to see him a lot more, but due to the malfunctioning they had to figure out ways around it. Hence the barrels, the music and the dock. Implying the shark's presence. And I'm glad we got what we got.

Man your love for your dogs is amazing. I've only had love like that for one dog in my entire life. His name was Barnie. My mom got him for me through a friend of my aunts. I was 11 years old and Barn Barn was young but grown. He was the smartest animal I've ever seen. He would set, speak, roll over, play dead, he would even play freeze tag. When tragedy struck my family when I was 16 and my mom passed away I would have never made it without the love from that dog. He was my absolute very best friend. He knew when the bus ran and would be at the bus stop every day. He loved playing, hunting with me or anything I was doing. He was my one true ride or die. When I was 19 I was at work and when I came home from work my brother told me my dog had gotten run over by the bus and passed away. He had already buried him because he knew I wouldn't be able to do it. My world changed that day and I knew my days of ever having another dog was over. I've tried but I've never found what I had with Barnie. So now I'm 48 years old and still don't have a dog because none can compare to Barn Barn. My only hope is that when I die and go to heaven God allows me to have one pet in heaven. Then I'll have that wonderful dog Barnie for eternity. Thank you for the reactions and thanks for keeping the old saying MANS BEST FRIEND alive and well.

20:32 Glad to see Ben Gardener is still scaring the shit out of people after almost 50 years.

Saw this aged 9/10 back in 1975 , the adrenaline rush I had watching this in a packed cinema was beyond intense. Absolutely terrified. Magnificent film all round a definite 10/10. 🧡🇬🇧 your reactions are supercalafragalisticexpealidocious.

This film is still being shown, especially around lake-bars and taverns, along oceanside drive-in's. Some places have giant floating screens with rental innertubes so you have 'float-in theaters', and the evening of July 4th, after the fireworks, the REAL fun begins as this film starts up.

That crabs remark made me spit coffee all over my computer and I am not mad

The kids who pulled the prank with the shark fin. The oldest one is actually running for sheriff now. Can't remember where though.

20:31 I've seen this film probably 50 billion times, and this STILL gets me every time, even though I know it's coming.

A redundant statement, but it's true: Jaws is a classic thriller. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿

I've seen this movie countless times and watched many people react to it, I never noticed Quint pause and look at the life jackets, thinking about not putting one on. Very good perception. I always thought he was just looking at the water dripping, but it was the life jackets. Makes so much sense seeing it now.

1. Goof: Chrissie's body parts are too far up the beach to have been washed up there without a storm. 2. Boy Scouts don't need to do the mile swim to get their Merit badge. It's an accomplishment all its own. 3. Lee Fierro/Mrs. Kentner actually slapped Roy Scheider. It took 17 takes. Once was so hard it knocked his glasses off. 4. The jump scare at Ben Gardner's boat was put in on purpose by Spielberg because they were having problems with the shark "Bruce" and his appearance was delayed, and the movie needed something earlier. Works every time.🤣 5. IRL Dreyfuss and Shaw didn't get along, so Spielberg used the animosity to fuel their feud onscreen. 6. Hooper was right. The fish that hit the line was a game fish. 7. "You're gonna need a bigger boat" is one of the greatest adlibs in history. It was the first time Roy actually saw Bruce. 8. Goof: An animal that large couldn't hit the side of the boat as rapidly as it did UNDER WATER. 9. I suspect Quint's story about the Indy gave him PTSD flashbacks and contributed to his behavior after he told the story. 10. I was in the Navy and we were instructed to go for the eyes when confronting any animal attack. 11. All of the shipboard scenes were filmed entirely at sea. 12. IRL the boy that said, "He made me do it." recently became the town police chief of the town where this was filmed. 13. In the book not only does Hooper die but he was also having an affair with Mrs. Brody. 14. JAWS II is the only other one worth watching. It revolves around the Brody kids and their friends. Including the mayor's son. 15. The third one was so bad that Scheider read the script and said NO. PS: When I saw you were going to do this I said to myself, "Gotta be there" 👌 I watched your "Mist". What happened to your little buddy? He left just when things started to rock.🎸

Okay, okay ... the funniest thing I've ever seen ... the girl getting killed by the shark audio over the video of your dog trying to make his bed in the background. Perfect! The thing about the end of this movie that always gets me is after that explosion, there is 3000 lbs. of chum to attract a thousand other sharks.

"He better not eat that dog or that baby". Me, watching at home : Oh lord, I better grab a drink for this one,lol.

Jaws? Nope, I’m hear to watch Rom. He’s got the best timing. Sits to salute your patrons, and pretends to be a shark under the blankies! 😂

I remember seeing this in Theaters when it came out. I was around 6 or 7 years old. Scarred me for LIFE. ONLY put my feet in Ocean for years afterwards

I'm so glad my dog isn't the only one to do the "standing marmot" thing... 😂

"Take them ugly-ass jackets off that you been wearing and get in the fuckin' water!" Best advice the mayor ever had 🤣

Ok , for real I was a teenager when I saw this for the first time, Florida vacation came close behind.. no swimming pools, no ocean. Honestly baths was out of the question then . Showers was my only water source. No lie

🎶Show me the way to go home I'm tired and I want to go to bed!🎶

Ah, Jaws. Lots of interesting trivia about it. -Showing off what would become the talent that would define him as one of the great movie directors of all time, Steven Spielberg had a LOT of trouble with the actual fake shark (nicknamed "Bruce", which as an in joke, carried over to the animated film Finding Nemo, where a secondary shark character is named just that). He was still just starting out in the business and his budget was limited, so he couldn't just throw money at it like he'd be able to within five years of Jaws' release, so he worked around it by showing the shark as little as possible and using every trick he could think of to do that while still building suspense, which ended up working like gangbusters. -The book was written by Peter Benchley, who ended up writing other marine-life focused horror/suspense novels. Unfortunately, Jaws was his first novel, so he was kind of weak when it came to character work, and so basically in the book every character is an asshole or unpleasant in some deep way (Spielberg commented on reading it that he wanted the shark to eat everyone). Spielberg changed a lot of that; in the book Roy's wife is a shallow, bored housewife who hates the blue collar life that her husband has 'dragged' her into and she actually has an affair with Hooper (the marine biologist), who in the book is an obnoxious, entitled POS who dies in the final battle with the shark, while their movie counterparts are a devoted housewife happy in her marriage, while Hooper is a much more likeable character who survives. Though one thing that got cut that makes the mayor's actions more understandable beyond 'we need the tourist dollars'; he's in debt to the Mafia and he needs a big weekend to skim money from to pay them back. Likewise, in the book Quint is just a greedy fisherman who hunts sharks, instead of a sympathetic WWII veteran and survivor of the USS Indianapolis.The shark's death in the book was considerably more dull: it just finally died of its wounds and sank, instead of a dramatic air tank explosion. Of course, in tradeoff, Quint the movie character got a far crueller death, especially considering the alterations to his character. In the book his leg got caught in a rope attached to an anchor and he was pulled underwater and drowned, whereas in the film...well, you saw. It's mean. -Oh any and all gods, The USS Indianapolis. One of the mostly unknown utter horror stories of World War II. Didn't Quint make it known? Oh no. He didn't tell the half of it. Seriously. If you know all the details, masses of sharks showing up to pick off dozens if not hundreds of survivors is one of the LESSER bad things that happened. It was BAD. Just take my word for that, and look up further details (or listening to this podcast, Last Podcast on The Left, like I did) at your peril. -This film's success had unexpected negative side effects: as you have likely seen in your Shark Week watches, great white sharks, and sharks in general, do not attack humans unless provoked, or you're bleeding in the water (their main hunting sense is smell, and they can detect even the slightest trace of blood, so a normal amount of blood from a wound can drive them crazy), or if they mistake them for one of their usual meals, like a seal (surfers on boards cast a similar profile and some have fallen victim to sharks as a result), and it's incredibly rare for a shark, even a great white, to grow to that size. And the rest is pure movie fiction: while Benchley LOOSELY based his book on a real life incident, the Jersey River shark attacks, it has been suggested those attacks happened because a saltwater fish like sharks are ended up trapped in the river, which is freshwater, and this caused it to suffer negative effects that made it very aggressive. The rest is all scary story falseness: sharks don't get 'tastes' for humans, or go out of their way to attack boats, especially if they're wounded. Unfortunately, these fine details were lost on people, who concluded ALL SHARKS ARE HORRIFIC MONSTERS and started killing them en masse, leading to Benchley (the original writer) becoming a marine preservationist later in his life. And of course, just like you, it scared generations of people into not wanting to go into the water. ANY water. Hell, the tagline for the film's sequel was "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water"...(which was promptly homaged and parodied immensely afterwards) One final irony: sharks had actually been seen as HARMLESS before the 1916 Jersey shark attacks, but the events and the feverish reporting and exaggeration and lack of conclusion (they never wholly proved they found the shark or sharks that had done the attacks) over the events flipped the pendulum and put the idea of 'sharks are killing machines that destroy all that come before them' into the public consciousness...which Spielberg promptly refreshed and reinforced with Jaws 60 years later. Oops.

When i was in high school i got YMCA diving certified. Our final exam of sorts was a open water dive off the Caribbean Islands, absolutely beautiful! It was the 8 of us students, the instructor and his family. Great excuse for a family vacation lol. When we were down we suddenly realized that a school/family/swarm, not sure of the exact phrase, but a large number of very large sharks showed up. Turned out to be nurse sharks, not man eaters but definitely look the part. After the dive the instructor informed us that his mother was nicknamed "The shark lady" as every time she dived sharks showed up. At one point i was within easy reach of no less than three 10+ft long eating machines under 25ft of water. Would have been good information to have before hand. Still a great trip and one i can promise i'll never forget...EVER! Especially that one shark that looked me right in the goggles from less than 3ft away as if to say "Hey, what are you doing down here?" and then swam off.

My parents took me to the cinema to see this. I was 5 years old. Thank you 😊

At least they didn't show the dog being eaten lol.

That crab joke 😂😂😂 I’m deaded

His dogs are the best, real bros

The 1st book I ever read as a child was about sharks. Since I was a kid my fantasy vacation is to get in the water with white sharks. Sadly, it's still an unfulfilled dream. Peter Benchley regretted writing this book after the movie came out and caused such a fear of sharks and caused people to indiscriminately go out and slaughter them. He subsequently has been trying to help save them since then.

I remember feeling a little let down during the beginning of the movie, because the part where the girl gets killed was so much more terrifying in the book! But there was no way to translate that to film, so they get a pass. And the actor who did the scene was terrific! She was able to relay the terror very well without the thoughts in her head being heard.

That was a true story about the USS Indianapolis.

" if they don't like you going out , they "ll love you coming in !".

They called the shark model that they used on the set of the movie "Bruce"

"Good thing you didn't hit that cause she got crabs " 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey! I hope you read this comment. I know this is 2 years old but I'm catching up on your older vids. And I wanted to ease your mind about something. The dog, Pippet survived!! Spielberg confirmed it. He elaborated on the story but it's a long one. I'll just say that you can actually see the dog later on the bridge during the scene when the shark eats the guy in the small boat. There ya go!!

Great reviews as always!! I had to laugh at 20:45 when you jumped and your dog looked at you like you're crazy...lol

"If a shark ate my dog I"d turn into Aquaman'". You crack me up. :)

As always, your reaction was as entertaining as the movie! So much to praise in this classic, but: I love how Quint grabs Hooper's arm after Hooper's lighthearted "Mother tattoo" joke is made. It's like Quint is communicating: Dude, I know we were making all kinds of silly jokes literally seconds ago, and you may feel bad about making that last one when you hear what my tattoo REALLY said, but it's all good, I won't hold it against you. And yes, I DO know that you will INSTANTLY know the significance when I say "The U.S. Indianapolis." Prepare to hear a riveting tale, my friend." Anyhow, I think that brilliant little arm grab by Shaw/Quint communicates all of that.

Classic movie

In case you're confused, this man is a writer. I am envious and also a writer. He just doesn't know what may be

The summer after this movie was released, people were so scared they were NOT going into the water. The State of Mass had to educate people that this is extremely unlikely to happen and they even have shark spotters now just so people are comfortable in the water.

6:23 After 40+ years, I've finally got that: Barracuda is not only a fish but it's a brand of boat! 🤦‍♂

I always thought it would have been ironic if the blood cloud in the water as a result of the explosion had attracted a bunch of regular size sharks and got them in a frenzy. Brody and Hooper could have survived Jaws but then been taken out by an average 8 to 10 foot shark.

Fun fact that dog the guy was playing fetch with was actually steven Spielbergs. This movie scarred me from going in the ocean for years it's a classic and continues to terrify generations, super stoked you reacted to this one! Happy 4th of July to you my guy and to Drogo and Romulas love you guys have a great day and stay safe!!! Ps A very Happy Birthday to you Blank thank you for everything you do you're awesome!

“ ay man you just ate man, ain’t you full?” Hahahaha love your commentary man

I recently read that the kid in the back of the two and fake shark is now the mayor of that town, and Spielberg thought he could get one more good scare out of people with that head coming out of the wrecked boat - filmed in a swimming pool with milk added. Hello doggies ♥ And the real guy that went into that cage actually had a heart attack - but recovered. The Jaws Documentary is well worth watching.

Happy 4th of July to everyone and Happy Birthday to the Editor 👍🌟🥳🎂

"Get your happy ass in the water." That was gold.

29:07 - 29:15 😂😂 No! No! No! No! Your reaction to Hooper asking Brody to go out further to give perspective of the shark in the photo made me laugh out loud. New viewer, now subscriber. Your comments are gold! Thank you. I love this film, but watching it with you was a joy. ❤

One of my top 5 all time favorites. Such a simple, perfect movie with wonderful characters.

All I needed to see was Jaws and J.L.'s face I immediately knew we were in for a ride 💀

I was stationed over in Hawaii when this film was released in '75. I was over there for about a year.....& never swam in the ocean again.

And now you've watched the worlds first Blockbuster movie.

When you enter the ocean, you're entering the food chain.

I was 11 in 75 when this movie came out, and I remember my uncle took me and my 9 year old cousin to see it. We were terrified to go to the beach after that, and I never went in the water again.

"She got crabs..." LMMFAO!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

It wasn't the Chef's fault. It was the Mayor's Fault. The chef tried to do the right thing, but the mayor and the town's people wouldn't let him. Happy Forth. and Happy birth dude.

This is seriously one of the best reactions to Jaws I've seen in all my years on KZfaq. Everything was great, but that moment you went: "Bye, Quint!" was pure gold. Absolutely hilarious in the best of ways. Thanks. :)

The danger by sharks is highly exaggerated. The chances that somebody is killed by a shark is about 1: 3,700,000. In comparison: being killed by bees, wasps or hornets 1: 57,825. And since you love dogs (me too) the chance to die from a dog attack is about 1: 69,016. In 2020 there were 10 deaths by sharks reported - worldwide! Yes - and a very happy birthday to you! 🥳

I love it when ur dog stands up lol it's always at the best times right on cue

I got so hilariously distracted by your dog during the first shark attack. It reminded me of our older dog who would dig at the floor whenever there was thunder.

I remember seeing this at the movies when it was released. The entire audience jumped out of their seats and screamed when that head popped out of the hole in that boat. Great film that still holds up well to this day.

I always love a visceral reaction to Ben Gardner's dead bloated face in his boat's hull and you didn't disappoint! I saw this in the mid-70's on this cool new-ish thing called "cable". But I was only four! 😂 I literally was afraid to sit on the toilet or take a bath with bubbles. Four year olds don't know fresh and salt water, or at least they don't know a shark can't live in city water, much less navigate the sewers to our third floor bathroom. Nevertheless, even as a adult I can have a panic attack in a swimming pool if the theme pops into my head. That fear is primal.

Oh my lanta... I'm a Floridian that spent every chance at the beach and in the water my whole life...until I saw this movie...I'm 70 years old now and it's been a very very long time since 1975 and the nightmares it gave me...so I'm standing right along side you now..don't even want my ankles wet...makes me sad but safe... Tell you what you'll enjoy watching..not a shark in sight... 💥...Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind... Yep..you'll love it I'm thinking...Richard Dryfess..the fella that went down in the shark cage is in it... Thank again for an entertaining reaction...happy birthday to your friend..and give the pups a pat for me...🌿🌿🌿

Your reaction to my all time favorite movie was amazing. Where I live there's a water park that shows Jaws while you're floating on a inner tube in a swimming pool.

Dude that crabs comment was gold!

In Christy's defence, she didn't have crabs before the shark went to town on her

This is the GREATEST Very first ever summer Blockbuster. It was one of the biggest movie phenomenons ever for it time. ...make it one of your favorites .. it is an awesome movie ..

That was the very first Summer Blockbuster...... Created a whole new way movies were made and marketed
