Shaw was a notorious heavy drinker, and his first attempt at the monologue was done drunk, and he botched it so badly, Spielberg was going to remove the scene from the movie (!) Shaw sobered up, apologized, and asked for a second shot at it. 'And the rest is cinema history'. I do believe they spliced in some of the original 'drunk take', though. I think you can see when he suddenly turns emotional (then suddenly turns back to calm and cool). As for the Indianapolis, I believe it's become fashionable for historians to try to pick apart the original account ("Most probably died of exposure, and/or thirst, not sharks, and their bodies may have been eaten by sharks later")

This movie is arguably my favorite of all time. It can never be replicated due to the use of special effects in modern times. The shark scenes and the water scenes look so real here because they actually filmed in real water and built an animatronic shark while also mixing in footage of real sharks. Now a days, we get special effects and green screens which are always so obviously fake that it takes me out of the film and makes it seem fake. When filmmakers actually film on the ocean with real background ocean noise and real wind, then it feels real and thrilling. You just can’t replicate this stuff with special effects. The best way to use special effects is to mix it in with real stuff.

Jaws being the first of the giant shark movies took a lot of people by surprise that Great whites regularly grew to 17 feet in length so a 25 foot one could easily be believed. At the time my dad co-owned a fishing Trawler out of Oceanside Ca. and people would pay me to take them out to see if they could spot a large Great White. The biggest I ever coaxed to the surface was 17 feet long.

@Dystopia1111 11 ай бұрын

In 1937 a local fisherman hauled in a 20-foot great white just offshore from Longboat Key, Florida (Manatee County, just south of Tampa- St. Petersburg). Kinda glad I didn't learn about this until years later, I was on those beaches all the time as a kid.

@lyndoncmp5751 11 ай бұрын

Back then it was widely thought great white sharks could grow to over 30ft, so 25ft was not thought to be the record size. 20 footers plus were seldom even questioned. Now we know different and 25ft must be around the absolute maximum.

I think it holds up because they didn't show the shark too much (do to mechanical issues) so they used other ways to build tension and they had good characters with great moments like you said even taking time to show the moment with the chief with his youngest son. I also liked the moment where his wife was thinking that their boy in the boat was okay then seeing the illustration of the shark destroying a boat starts yelling for him to get out, it feels realistic and a human response. And Quint's monologe is so good, it's also terrifying.

@lyndoncmp5751 11 ай бұрын

The shark was kept hidden by design for the first half of the film though. They never intended to use the mechanical shark for the beach attacks. Couldn't in just waist to shoulder deep water anyway. Spielberg was already a suspense director. Watch Duel and Something Evil. Far more of the shark was supposed to be used for the Orca set scenes yes, and it wouldn't work for ages but not for those early scenes. The documentaries cause confusion on this point but the fact is the first scheduled use of the mechanical shark/s wasn't until July 1974, after the beach scenes were already filmed in May and June. The sharks then didn't work properly until September.

@roquefortfiles 10 ай бұрын

It holds up because it was a well written script. The decision to only reveal the shark in the third act had nothing to do with it not working. It was in the shooting script. The barrels were not used to substitute for the shark not working. The barrels were used to heighten the suspense. They were in the novel already. Every single planned for shot of the shark was filmed.

Great reaction ladies. The story of the USS Indianapolis is true. The water dumped on the reel was to keep the rig from getting hot enough to burn through the line. The actress who played Mrs. Kintner (mom of the boy who was killed) many years later she was on vacation in (I think) Seattle. They stopped in a seafood place for lunch and she saw on the menu the Alex Kintner fish sandwich. She told the server that she had played Alex's Mom in the movie and the server went and told the owner. He came out to say hello to her. It was the kid who had played her son. They hadn't seen or spoken to each other since the film wrapped.

34:45 Practical effects will always be scarier than CGI, no matter how expensive the CGI is. CGI is great for complementing landscapes or creating moods (background, cityscapes, hellscape, alien planet, etc.) but I don't think complete characters should be made 100% with CGI. To this day, Predator, Alien Xenomorph, Chucky, the terrifying lifeless Arnold puppet head in T1, or the stop motion Terminator at the end of T1 still works for me. (I can't even imagine Gizmo from Gremlins 1-2 as CGI. A good example of this nowadays is Grogu, who was cleverly not created with CGI.)

@@Imagination-In-A-Box Actually, there was no man in the cage when the real shark attacked. The plan was to have a short man, about 4 feet tall, inside of a smaller cage so that any real sharks swimming nearby would look proportionately larger. However, before the stunt diver could enter the cage, a real shark got tangled in the empty cage. The thrashing of the shark was so thrilling that the footage was kept in the movie, and Hooper's character was allowed to survive, although he dies in the novel. A prime example of serendipity.

First shots filmed for Jaws in February 1974 off Dangerous Reef, South Australia by Ron and Valerie Taylor and Rodney Fox. The Taylors were asked to go back in March to film more footage, but they were threatened by local abalone divers to not chum in the sharks. This was shortly after abalone diver Terry Manuel had been killed at Streaky Bay. The Taylors couldn't get more footage in March. They tried again in April but poor weather and no sharks scuppered that. So Spielberg had to be content with what the Taylors had filmed in the February.

There are documentaries made about the making of Jaws that are JUST AS ENTERTAINING as the movie itself. From difficulties filming on the actual ocean instead of a giant water tank, to real life clashes between the actors who played Hooper and Quint, to the mechanical shark 🦈 constantly breaking down because of the saltwater. And then they nearly lost a diver to an actual Great White🦈! The scene when the shark is caught and struggling with the cage was real and completely on accident. They had a little person as the stand in for Hooper to give the shark a bigger sense of scale but the shark got tangled up and the diver had to bail out. Thankfully the diver was okay, and they managed to get it one film. It’s why they changed the script from Hooper getting eaten to surviving. But sadly the biggest impact this movie had was that it gave the misconception that all sharks are man eaters. Peter Benchley, the author of the book, said that if he knew what he knew about how sharks are actually beautiful animals that are needed for the ecosystem to thrive he would’ve changed the book. He’s now and advocate for shark conservation. Funny Fact: Steven Spielberg jokingly said that he now is afraid of sharks because he knows they got their bad reputation from Jaws so he is on their list of sworn enemies.🤣🤣🤣🤣

The grey nurse shark was nearly wiped out in the 1960s because of spear fishing, as they 'looked' like man eaters. So they were heavily targeted. The numbers of sharks killed specifically because of Jaws is exaggerated and was tiny compared to the REAL dangers that occurred due to the Asian shark finning industry, commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes. It's these that are responsible for the vast majority of the declining shark populations worldwide. Not Jaws.. Beach netting has been around since the 1930s.

In the original script, Hooper dies in the cage when it's attacked. However, the B-roll footage they filmed had an incredible shot of a shark caught in a small scale version of the cage, struggling to get out, thrashing about. The only problem was, the cage was empty at the time. So they changed the ending to have Hooper escape from the cage so they could use that shot.

You were right. Here's some trivia, including some of what you touched on: 1) "Bruce" the mechanical shark wasn't working most of the time which resulted in a more suspenseful movie. 2) After this movie, Shark hunting increased to such a level that many shark species populations still have not fully recovered. 3) Quint's USS Indianapolis story retells the most massive animal attack in history. 4) "Jaws" was the first movie to be called a Summer Blockbuster. 5) "Jaws (and later, "Gremlins") are both rated PG. They were two key movies to influence the creation of the PG13 rating.

@Charles_Gaba 11 ай бұрын

It was actually Gremlins and Temple of Doom which led to PG13. Both came out the summer of ‘84 and parents freaked. Jaws might have been referenced during the debate as well but it had come out 9 years earlier.

@@Charles_Gaba I thought I heard Jaws (released June 20, 1975) was the spark of the rating controversy but the discussion didn't really go far at first. I could be wrong. You are correct the last two movies sneaking in at PG before the PG13 creation were Temple of Doom (released May 23, 1984) & Gremlins (released June 8, 1984). Yes, parents were really complaining about the rating system by this time period. Gremlins was the most definitely the last movie under controversy.

Bruce was only intended to be used for the second half of the film out at sea. Bruce needed deep water to be operated. Bruce was never scheduled to be used for the first half of the film for the beach attacks. The shark was hidden there by design. They were filmed early on. May to end June '74. First scheduled use of Bruce wasn't until July. The beach attack scenes were filmed in only 3 to 4ft of water. Impossible to use Bruce. Not only the size of the mechanical shark itself (or themselves as there were three) but the platform and the gimbal arm. Waist deep water is far too shallow. It was when filming moved out to sea in July where it all went wrong. Bruce wouldn't work, weather and tide problems, boats appearing on the horizon etc.

@lyndoncmp5751 11 ай бұрын

Also the Asian shark finning industry, commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes have been far more responsible for declining shark populations than Jaws. Shark fishing was already very popular before Jaws. The record IGFA great white shark was in 1959. Quint was partly based on real life Long Island shark fisherman Frank Mundus. The Australian grey nurse shark was decimated in the 1950s and 1960s by spear fishing, simply because they 'looked' like man eaters, despite being fish eaters. Sharks were already having big problems before Jaws. It's just that few cared until Jaws made sharks very fashionable and of greater interest.

As a beach lifeguard at Rockaway Beach, I can tell you that NYC Parks Department does not play around when it comes to shark sightings. Lifeguards (at least the good ones) will immediately spot a shark or sting ray and keep everyone out until there hasn’t been a sign of marine life for 3 full hours after the last sighting. Some people don’t care and still try to ignore lifeguards, (we dont like those kinds of people), but everyone fails to realize we’re in their home and NO ONE really knows whats in the water at a given moment. P.S. if you cant swim, swim at a pool where you can’t be dragged out to sea.

Everyone rightly points out that Mrs. Kintner should’ve slapped the mayor, not Brody…but Brody was right not to correct her at that moment. Not the right time or place, and of course he did feel guilty for not standing up to the mayor. A great story about Mrs. Kintner: Jeffrey Voorhies, who plays the son Alex who is killed by the shark, is now a manager at the seafood restaurant 'The Wharf' on the actual Island of Martha's Vineyard, and the restaurant still serves a sandwich called 'The Alex Kintner Burger'. Lee Fierro, who played Alex's mother, happened to go to his restaurant many years after the film's release and saw the "Alex Kintner Burger" on the menu. When she mentioned who she was, Voorhees ran out to meet her. The two had not seen each other since filming Jaws.

Let's not forget John Williams' role in this movie. Not just an iconic theme, but for the first part of the movie every time there is a *real* shark attack the theme plays leading up to it. When it's a fake out attack , like the guy in the swim cap and the kids with the fake fin, the theme isn't played. It gets you used to when and when not to expect the shark. You hear the music - there's the shark. No music - no shark. That's what makes the reveal with Brody chumming so much better - no lead up to the shark with the music.

I watch almost every reaction to this movie because the film is amazing to me. I'm fascinated at how people, across time, are still drawn to this movie. And don't think it's for most of the reasons people will mention. First of all, this is story telling at its absolute finest. Even something as dangerous as a monologue in the middle of film, the very medium of show-not tell, holds us spellbound and riveted to every word Quint utters. It amazes me every time I see it unfold in the story. But what amazes me the most is that almost no reactor notices that this film is the heroes journey. After a brief prologue to underscore the coming problem, the film settles in and follows one character above the rest; a man deathly afraid of the ocean. So much so that he even alters the definition of the word "island" to ease his fear of it. And it is this man, Brody, who is forced to embrace his fear, not because he's the natural hero for the story. But simply because he won't survive otherwise. I think it's this heroes journey that compels people to revist this film again and again.
