I think Quint destroyed the radio not only because of the money, but because of his pride. Quint hunts sharks and this one is getting the better of him. It's become almost personal to him to kill this shark, kind of like Captain Ahab and Moby Dick

A movie that people still will talk about a hundred years from now.

Ol' Ben Gardner's severed head jumpscare claims two other victims, LMAO! Love it!

The seal impression alone was worth the thumbs up.

The story that "Quint" tells is a true story. The USS Indianapolis was the ship that transported the Atomic Bombs to the island of Tinian so they could be loaded onto the bombers...

The suspense in the movie is intensified by the fact that Spielberg was having all sorts of problems with the mechanical shark "Bruce" they created for the movie. The audience doesn't get to see him until later in the movie than Spielberg had planned. It turned out so much more suspenseful because of that.

11:01 That one never fails. My mom was 15 when the movie came out here in Portugal right before summer, she tells the beaches had never been so empty 😅

11:01 even after all these years since this movie came out in theaters, that scene still one of the best jump scares. 🤣

Saw it as a kid at the movies ...40 years later I still only go knee deep in the ocean

This movie came out shortly before my 10th birthday. My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told her I wanted to go see this movie. She tried to talk me out of it, and tried to talk me out of it and tried to talk me out of it. But I held firm. I wanted to see Jaws. So my mother took me to see Jaws. And I spent half the movie sitting on her lap, with my head tucked into her shoulder, and I had nightmares about it for months. Months, I tell you. But now, nearly 50 years later, this is one of my favorite films ever.

Quint is similar to Captain Ahab in Moby Dick. Both are obsessed with killing a giant white sea creature in revenge for something in their past, and in both cases their obsession ends up killing them. Quint smashed the radio because he wanted to be the one to kill the shark, and because he was incapable of admitting weakness or failure. It wasn't really the money. It was his ego and desire for revenge.

In the book, Hooper was actually killed by the shark while in the cage. The movie script was re-written to give the story a kind of happier ending.

At the opening we knew exactly what moment in the movie they were reacting to. LOL.

Just remember, the mayor in Jaws 1 is still mayor in Jaws 2......

Quint's story about the USS Indianapolis is a true story from WW2. There's quite a few movies and documentaries about it. When Jaws came out, most people had never heard the story, survivors of the Indianapolis thanked Spielberg for including that scene so their story could finally be told. In the book, all thr main characters were really scumbags as human beings, with zero redeeming qualities to make you feel for them. The USS Indianapolis story gave Quint a backstory so we could feel for him and understand why he hates sharks so much. I recommend watching one of short documentary videos about that scene, it's really fascinating how Robert Shaw improvised parts of it, and the final scene is a mix of Sober Shaw and drunk Shaw from various takes. In the end, it's considered ine of the all time greatest monologs un movie history.

Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw! What a team of actors! I love this movie!

The ultimate summer blockbuster! It was nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Picture but won for: Best Film Editing Best Sound Editing Best Original Score It made over $400 million dollars at the box office against a $20 million dollar budget. The tagline reads: "See it, before you go swimming " "The no. 1 terrifying bestseller is now the no. 1 terrifying motion picture."

My parents took me to see this when I was 10 years old in 1975, and I was spellbound! To this day, it remains the single greatest movie theater experience of my life! Nothing else comes close! Great reaction, guys! You ROCK!!!

Saw this in '75 and it scared the hell out of me.

Great choice and great reaction. I remember my father took me and my sister to see this movie. I was 14 and she was 16. We stood in line for over 2 hours to get tickets, which was uncharacteristic for my father. The movie was so popular that people were willing to wait in line for hours to see it. lines wrapped around the block. My wife and I still watch this every July 4th weekend.

Jaws has stood the test of time.

11:02 best jump scare ever...😂

In Denmark the movie was named "Kæmpe Torsken" I was a teenager when this movie was released, and I didn't dare swim in the ocean for many years.

Great video! I was a biology student in the 90s, and I remember one of our teachers, a biology PhD told us about a case where he helped to identify a shark species by the bite left in a body that was brought to the beach by currents. It was a diver, male, the bite took one of his arms and shoulder, and also severed his head. I saw some original pictures of similar cases too, the amount of damage was proportional to the shark size. Another thing I remember about sharks is that they are attracted by vibrations, but if you remain still they will detect you anyway by your bioelectrical field using the Lorenzini ampullae. The only things that scare a great white are Orca whales. If a white shark gets killed by an Orca, the rest of the sharks in the area just leave for several months before returning. Again, great video, I really enjoy watching this movies with your comments!

My father took a friend and I to see this in the theatre in 1975. We were 9 years old at the time. This movie scared the 💩 out of me. We went on vacation to Cape Cod every year, and that year I would not go in the ocean any deeper than my knees.

Quint is wracked with survivor’s guilt. He has somewhat of a death wish. There are also echoes of Captain Ahab from the Novel Moby Dick.

I saw this 13 times at the theater when it came out. I enjoyed watching reactions then, and it was a thrill to be in a packed theater full of people who hadn't seen this yet.

The story he tells of the indianapolis is true ...

The sequel, Jaws 2 had the tag line "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...". People all over the world got serious sunburn through not going in.

No one in America would go in the water after this movie one of the classic. It haunted me for a long time ⌛ . love it. Great job family P.S The documentary of the making of jaws is also great

Watching this with you , has made a movie pop into my head / Close Encounters of The Third Kind / another Spielberg masterpiece , with Richard Dreyfuss playing the lead roll . It's another if you haven't seen it will knock your socks off .

I just turned 20 when I saw this movie in the theaters. It was the very first summer blockbuster and made a ton of money. Jaws terrorized the audience so badly that most people who went to the beach stayed out of water. Those few who went in, like me, were constantly looking over our shoulders looking for a shark fin. Another movie that scared the audience this badly was the movie Physco. In case you didn't see it I won't say which scene.

A real event inspired this movie, Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 in which a large great white shark attacked 5 people along jersey beaches, with only one of the victims surviving, which would be a very rare event at any time. Four of the victims were bitten while swimming in areas that were not considered to be a hotspot for sharks, and the other victim was bitten while trying to rescue another person. The USS Indianapolis was a true event.

When I was a kid, my parents would have this movie on the night before taking us swimming. 🤣🤣

I remember when this movie came out in 1975, I was 19 years old. Virtually everyone stopped going in the water when going to the beach, it was incredible! For years people were concerned about swimming in the ocean, then as things started to calm down Jaws II came out!!

I Lived not far from the coast where this was filmed and saw this the very first week it came out. Your reactions, especially the jump scares (like when that head rolled out of the swamped boat) were exactly the same as every single person in the theater. Hysterical!

The war story about the American sailors being eaten by sharks is a TRUE story!

You guys have to do Spielberg's following blockbuster hit, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) also starring Richard Dreyfuss. But please do only the original theatrical release for your first viewing to experience the best one and the one that dazzled us back then! Watch the other two versions (Director's Cut and Special Edition) later to compare if you wish, but do the original first because the others are just not the same and have more negative vibe. The original is much more positive and fun to watch. You'll wish you could see it in a big screen theater! @ 11:02 Welcome to the club that goes all the way back to 1975. LOL! That jump-scare shook the theater! @ 20:38 The "bigger boat" line there became iconic after this movie and used to describe similar situations. This was the movie that made Spielberg a household name and his next movie, a legend. And keep in mind when doing Close Encounters is that it came out the same year as the first, original awesome Star Wars and yet CE held its own quite well. 1977 was a great year for scifi fans because we had two great movies to see, Star Wars and Close Encounters. Enjoyed watching this again with you guys and look forward to the next cool movie. 🖖😎

Just when you think it’s safe to go back into the water…. Jaws 2 comes out in 1978!

FAREWELL AND ADIEU TO YOU FAIR SPANISH LADIES

The first giant shark movie made all the more scary that it wasn't too exaggerated in its size and up until then people were used to seeing sharks in movies and t.v. shows being these dolphin sized fish.

That "small" shark is actually a VERY dangerous predator, and yes it does attack humans. Great review!

Jaws the first true Summer Blockbuster still making people fear the ocean. Steven Speilberg was a young, ambitious, up an coming movie director. He had no way of knowing just how successful Jaws would become. For its time a truly amazing cinematic achievement.

My mom & father told me this was there first movies they saw together when they were dating hahaha 😎🥶

50 years later I don't go out past my knees in the ocean, and sometimes even in a pool I imagine the "duh-dun" music lol. This left a 7 yr old fear scar in my brain 🦈🩸😰 forever

i spent summers at the Jersey shore every year and would body surf the waves never worried. Then this movie came out in the summer of 1975 (it invented the term "Summer Blockbuster") and I was 15 and the next day I'm wading into the ocean surf and all of a sudden that freaking John Williams score starts banging around in my brain. It took me several days to go in deep enough to resume body surfing.

Saw at the theater as a teenager and been my favorite all time movie ever Since , what a glorious time at the movies back then with this then Star Wars a couple years later, thanks it’s always so enjoyable watching your reactions!

Jaws 2 is also worth a watch. Obviously we see the shark more then but it's not a bad sequel.

Little boy paddles out on a raft in ominous open water: "......." . Shot cuts to dog paddling in same water: " Oh!..OH NOT THE DOGGY!!! "

In the book there is a backstory that is not in the movie; the Mayor owed a crapload of money to the Mafia. It wasn't the town he was concerned about, it was his own neck.

I love jaws. I like that its use a good overall movie about everyday life and a shark happens to show up hahah. Love your guys videos.

I saw this movie the month it was released in 1975. I was 14 years old at the time, and to this day, Quint's monologue of how he survived the sinking of the USS Indianapolis still gives me chills.

Jaws was an instant classic! ♥

11:02 The moment I always wait for ! I was not disappointed!

Spielberg and Richard Dreyfus teamed up again for the 1978 Close Encounters of the Third Kind. There are different editions / cuts available but I think we'd like to see your take on the original cinema release.

The book was awesome and a # 1 best seller, everyone was anticipating the movie and it delivered. Fun fact, the reporter on the beach was author Peter Benchley. Murray Hamilton was so good as the villainous mayor it’s fun watching people hate on him.

Mayors are politicians. Politicians are subhuman. Good thing Hooper wasn't a football player. He can't hold on to anything.

0:00 As soon as we saw that first jump scare reaction, we all knew exactly which scene you were watching!

A little movie magic for you, during the shark cage scenes they used a little person, except for the close ups, to make the shark look even bigger!! Filmed from the right angle you can't really tell.

I was 20 when this came out. We saw it while on vacation at the beach, lol. Scared me so much, never went back in the ocean.

an AFI Top 100, with a great cast and scares ya without even showing the shark.

I freakin love how genuine yall's reactions are, easily one of my top fave duos on the KZfaqs nowadays! 👍🏻

Whale sharks can get up in the neighborhood of 61 ft. in length..but they feed almost exclusively on plankton and small fishes like the baleen whales, and are no threat to humans.

Quint was a bit suicidal because of his experience during the war. He felt he should join his shipmates in a similar fashion Spielberg is a movie genius. See Close Encounters of the third kind.

Great reaction! Funny story for you since it's your 1st time to see this movie - when music composer (and genius), John Williams played the theme music for director Steven Spielberg for the first time, Steve thought it was a joke and asked him to play what the real music was, and John said that that was the real music. Steve had his doubts but after the movie came out and he saw what a huge success the soundtrack was, he never doubted him again. After that, Steven tried to get John to do the music for every movie he did and even recommended him to his dear friend, George Lucas, when he needed someone to do the music for his new movie...STAR WARS! Thanks for your review and keep smiling 🤘🙂

LMFAO the seal impersonation

I loooooove you guys reactions to these movies. Its soo much fun and you two are just tooooo freaking adorable. I would love to actually watch movies with you guys. You have the right vibe

11:03 the best genuinely scared sh!tless reaction i've seen...lol even the guy was screaming and covering his face like a gurrrllll.... 🤣🤣

Had to clean off my keyboard after that "seal" impression...was drinking a soda at the time and spewed it in laughter.

Years after the film was made, Lee Fiero (Mrs. Kintner, the mother who slapped Brody) walked into a seafood restaurant in Southern California and saw something on the menu called The Alex Kitner Sandwich. When she said she played Alex's mom, the manager came out of the kitchen, running up to her. It was the actor who played her son, Jeffrey Voorhees. They had not seen each other since the movie wrapped.

Ohh,..boy ya'll caught a classic,..I was in middle school, parents took me to see it, that summer my dad had already made plans for us to go to the beach,..I had taken swimming lessons,..he was a fantastic swimmer,..but when this came out,.it terrified people, just from a movie,..not some rash of shark attacks, beaches were ghost towns,..nobody wanted to take their kids, families to the beach,..its incredible a movie had that impact,..and for my family,.it was like very nearly having the beach all to ourselves,..the hotel, the restaurant,..it was crazy,..I went into the water, got as far as water up to just under my hips, felt something brush against my leg, and I was done!,.my dad kept going, out to end of the pier,..no fear,..Quint I think like had a vendetta, and ptsd from watching fellow sailors, ship mates, killed by sharks,..you know his place at the dock, including his boat had all these trophies of shark jaws, mouths,..smashing the radio you know like he wasn't gonna be beaten by some fish,..after this movie I kinda got obsessed with sharks,..found out about a couple the Taylors, who were shark enthusiasts, bought their book,..think they were the first to use the shark cage,..by the time this movie came out, they had been doin this for a while,..besides Jacques Cousteau,..its based on a book by Peter Benchley, do check it out, you probably can still get it at least a digital book,..do keep going in your dive into horror, there are a lot of really good movies from the 1960's, 70's, 80s,..scifi too, or a mix of both,..The Thing, Alien, Aliens, if you haven't, The Shining, The Haunting (old one from 60's is better),..enjoy,..Godspeed, Peace ✌

worked at a Jack In The Box back then. We had an issue with our floor drain. Water was backing up. We cut a fin out of cardboard and had it swimming around in the water. We yelled Shark!!! The whole store emptied out. Mind you we were on land. Thats how much this movie scared people.

Jaws{& 2} is an excellent example of why participating in local politics is very important. I say this because whatever you think of the mayors decisions in this movie, Know this In the sequel, He is STILL Mayor. Which means in the intervening 3 years, He not only didn't resign or get thrown out of office. He MAY have even been re-elected & THIS requires large scale public inattention lol

From the opening moment of this review, I knew I'd LOVE to see them react. I tell ya - when someone's hands clasp over their eyes for prolonged time, we know there are scary scenes involved... now... which one?!! ha ha

It's not the money - for Quint, it's truly personal - a vendetta. He's like Captain Ahab from Moby Dick, obsessed with killing the white whale.

A bad mishap during the shooting turned out to be great luck. During the shooting of the first hour of the movie, the mechanical shark wouldn't work. As the project (and the budget!) got farther behind, Spielberg decided to rewrite the whole first half with almost no visible shark at all. I and many others think that bit of bad luck was the best thing that could have happened...that the first half of the film is much scarier than the second.

The kid, Alex who was killed by the shark is now a manager for a local restaurant met one of the original actors from Jaws. It was his movie mom came in the restaurant

The filming location is not a really warm area only in the summer..The water is still fairly cool in the summer... White sharks are found In cold and warm water. I've actually touched a white shark when I was younger a 14 footer ... I was 10 at the time While on vacation in Wildwood crest New Jersey in the mid 80's ..one washed ashore overnight After people removed the jaws ..I remember I still have photos of the shark with me and a few other people standing around it. I actually sat on the shark. Of course at the time I didn't really know much about sharks and what it was but the pictures don't lie.. 100% white shark ... sad to knowing what it was,, It was definitely killed because of what kind of shark it was..

You two have such great chemistry--and I think you love each other :) So many movie reaction channels don't realize that it's the chemistry between the reviewers that makes for a great video. I can tell you are sincere. All the Best to Both of You!

I love watching your reactions. You two are so into the movies, and it's fantastic. The town leaders as shown are very, very accurate. I grew up in a summer beach town, and when I was 9 years old (3 years after "JAWS" was released), I watched rescuers drag a man out of the surf, missing half a leg and bleeding out. The town made sure there was no news coverage, no talk about it, nothing. It was like it had never happened, and the beaches were open for the whole summer. Because the money is more important than the people. Sick, but true.

Another great one!!!!!!!! I am obsessed with this channel, I can’t get enough! Very happy to have found you guys! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Great reaction. I remember when I was little, my friends and I were going surfing at the beach early the next morning. For some stupid reason I decided to watch this on late night TV. BAD MOVE!!! I went to the beach with my pals the next day. They all ran in with their boards. I did too. Then stopped at the shoreline and just stared out at the water .... turned around with my surf board, and sat on the beach until they all came in.

I saw this when it first came out in 1975 (I was 18). When that head popped out from my beer the boat my friend about ripped my arm out of its socket! The movie played for several weeks. What a summer it was! The following year my sister and I drove up to Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts where it was filmed. It's a beautiful place and we had fun seeing the filming locations.

Quint's story about the USS Indianapolis is a true event. If you haven't seen "Encounters of the Third Kind" that's also another great movie by Steven Spielberg. A Project Serpo type of human alien exchange top-secret program is loosely based on this event. It *supposedly* occurred at White Sands Missile Range by Holloman AFB in NM. The scientists depicted in the movie were again 'supposedly' from nearby Los Alamos, NM where the Manhattan Project (atomic bomb) was developed

Excellent seal imitation!

Jaws is the OG of Summer Blockbusters. The term “Summer Blockbuster” was coined for what Jaws accomplished at the box office.

Susan Backlinie aka 1st victim of the shark was stuntwoman/actress until 1982 when she quit the business. At 75, she works as computer accountant.

You should react to the movie which beat Jaws for best picture that year "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest". It's brilliant.

In 1975 my big brother seen Jaws at the cinema I remember him telling me people in the cinema were lifting their feet off the floor of the cinema thinking Jaws was going to bite their legs off and the news at the time reported no one was going to the beach because of the movie Jaws

People were afraid to go in SWIMMING POOLS after this film!

29:42 'Look at the bastard! He's so hungry!' LMAO. Quote of the day that one.

This movie was short in Martha's Vineyard. Remember the two boys who prank everyone with the shark fin? Well, the older boy is now the sheriff in Martha's Vineyard.

This is one of those movies that live in your brain even years later. Like, even in swimming pools when I swim under the water, the music that plays when Jaws is approaching plays in my head.

That small shark is just as dangerous as the big one.

This was the movie that put Spielberg on the top of Hollywood Directors. His development of characters that you really like and care about , woven with humor, suspense, and pure scary moments is genius. Another Spielberg classic that follows this blueprint is Poltergeist. Other favorites Close Encounters of the 3 rd Kind, ET, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Pure genius

The writer of the book, Peter Benchley was an amazing man and writer. He makes a cameo appearance as the reporter on the beach. This movie terrified me but I've still seen it so many times. Like seeing new reactions to it. It's universal to want to smack the mayor lol

Fun fact. The actor who played the shark fisherman reportedly showed up (more often than not) drunk to every bit of filming for the movie. Which the actor playing the marine biologist viewed as unprofessional and caused friction between the two of them that you can clearly see in virtually every scene they are together. Sometimes they didn’t even need to act like they hated each other they just did.

“Lurking in the shadows” was so menacing. You should narrate horror stories with that voice

The ultimate underwater movie: The Abyss.
