Movie Description
t's a hot summer on Amity Island, a small community whose main business is its beaches. When new Sheriff Martin Brody discovers the remains of a shark attack victim, his first inclination is to close the beaches to swimmers. This doesn't sit well with Mayor Larry Vaughn and several of the local businessmen. Brody backs down to his regret as that weekend a young boy is killed by the predator. The dead boy's mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. As Brody succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they're going to need a bigger boat.

That's easy! JAWS 2... JAWS the film is based upon the novel JAWS by Peter Benchley. He wrote it based upon the real life Shark Attacks along the New Jersey Shore in 1916. Even the Dog attack really happened... as far as the expedition to capture the Shark it was also based upon real events that happened to Captain Frank Mundus of Long Island, NY who was also the inspiration for Captain Quint. The Harpoon and Barrels technique was commonly used to exhaust the Sharks by having them fighting the buoyancy of the Barrels. When the Sharks would exhaust themselves they would simply be towed into Shore. In the 1960s Captain Mundus saw a Gigantic 21ft Great White feeding on a dead whale and he knew it looked like a world record shark so he harpooned it. He was shocked that even with 3 Barrels on him he went under the water so this is what happened to Quint in the movie. I'm not sure if it took a 4th Barrel or not but eventually the Shark exhausted himself and Captain Frank Mundus had the World Record Great White at 21ft long and it weighed over 6,000lbs. Then years later in 1986 Frank set another World Record this time with a Fishing Rod & Reel to hook an 18ft Great White Shark. Both of these Sharks were captured of Montauk Point, Long Island NY. In 1983 an astoundingly huge 23ft Great White Shark was caught in a fishing net in Australia. They have the taxidermy preserved body of it hanging from the ceiling in the Riverhead Aquarium on Long Island NY. I have seen it first hand and it looks like a small airplane! So this real life JAWS is only 3ft shorter than the mechanical shark that was used in the film. Just let that sink in!

Sound effects are nothing compaired to the editing of a film. Jaws owes it's incredible longevity to Verna Fields, the editor of the said film. Spielberg delivered some incredible in camera shots that very few film director's of that period of time had dared to achieve, except Hitchcock in Hollywood, but the editing of Jaws gives this film a tightness and unique style that makes the film timeless. Had not Verna Fields died, I'm 100% sure Spielberg would've carried through in his career with her at his side.

Verna Fields was a legend in Hollywood. So much so, that inside the industry, it was she who was given more credit for the success of the film, over the newcomer Spielberg. Because of this, Spielberg decided not to work with her again on his next movies - Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 1941, and Raiders of the Lost Ark - all of which were made prior to her death in 1982.

Remember as the mayor said at 3:06, Amity is a summer town in which all the residents' livelihoods depend almost entirely on summer tourists, much like Cape Cod, MA or Cape May, NJ.

Jaws is a classic. Amazing for 75! First “blockbuster” ever. The music is amazing, the story so good. No one went swimming in 75. I was out in California and only went into the water to my waist. Still today I won’t go out beyond the waves. That was a real shooting star in the night sky. Spielberg just happened to catch it. The story of the USS Indianapolis is true. SO scary. I loved the first scene, you didn’t see the shark or any blood but you knew what was happening. In the book, when she first went down it bit off her leg. Then it was just shaking her in its mouth. Saw a documentary about great whites and they were filming them off the coast of Mexico and the great whites left. Everyone was wondering what scared them off and in swam a huge female great white. She was at least 22’ and was pregnant. She was huge. You know it’s huge when 15’ - 18’ footer great whites are leaving. Scared the crap out of me. And yet, great whites are afraid of killer whales so there’s a little bit of comfort.

Great reaction. I love this film. I watch it every year around the start of summer. Most of things I would say have been covered in the comments. Robert Shaw was doing a New England accent (think Stephen King). He spent most as a supporting player. He found stardom late in life after doing The Sting. From that point on he was a star right up to his passing in 1978. Indeed, most of his starring roles are from the 1970s. I favored Brody, the Everyman fish out of water who is literally terrified of the ocean. I liked the idea of the hero being the person least qualified for the job.

I used to have the DVD set with all the interviews etc, full of neat info, like the scene with the shark caught in the cage thrashing around is actual footage of a real shark, if u look again it’s much smaller than jaws, the shooting star was real, it was also the first movie to make a million dollar in box office, one of the Harry Potter movies was first to reach a billion, this is one of my fav movies next to poltergeist, which was produced by Steven Spielberg too

Several decades after the film's release, Lee Fierro, who played 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, and he was none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They had not seen each other since the original movie shoot.

Though he directed over a dozen shorts, TV movies and a couple of big screen movies earlier, Jaws was the one that made Steven Spielberg really famous. He built on that success by directing his following big hit movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) but Ryan please, if you're going to watch it do only the original theatrical release before watching any other versions as the others just don't hold up to the original. It also stars Richard Dreyfuss, Hooper in Jaws. It won't spoil it to brief you a bit on it since we back in '77 knew what the movie was about going in. It deals with the UFO phenomena and is a very well done sci-fi on the topic. There's some discussion that something like it actually happened and was covered-up; whether that's true or not, it is a good one to watch anyway. @ 14:50 Then you'll really like John Williams work in Close Encounters! @ 18:26 That was an actual meteor they caught while filming at night. There's another one seen around the same time. Couple more Spielberg flicks you may enjoy are Raiders of the Lost Ark and Minority Report, among many others! ✌️😎

The story that Quint, Robert Shaw's character tells of the USS Indianapolis is true. There were only 316 survivors of the roughly 1100 and some odd sailors on board. Not all of them died from shark attack, some of them drowned, some of them died in their wounds, some of them died the sinking of the ship. All were most likely eaten by sharks eventually. The great thing about this speech is that Robert Shaw helped write the speech. He took what was going to be a 10 to 15 page story about Shaw's character and why he hated sharks, and turned it into what we see in the movie. It is still one of the most talked about scenes in the movie and for damn good reason

She ran into the actor who played her son, after he was an adult, and had opened up his own restaurant called Mrs. Kinter’s Son. Sadly she passed away from Coronavirus in 2020. She was 91.

You should look at the behind the scene cuts and stories about the film. They are quite interesting, like how the 'Lady of the Dunes' (who was recently and finally identifed!) was found not horribly far from the film area. The moment of finding the hand with crabs around it on the beach definitely gives me that alluding energy everytime.

For months, if not years, when I needed to get up to use the bathroom at night, I’d jump from my bed to my desk and then a long jump out of my room into the hallway where the carpet was a safe beige color.

Congratulations on your first viewing of the film. I saw it for the first time when I was six years old. LOL My immediate reaction was that it was fantastic and I wanted to see it again. LOL (I never once had any nightmares because of it.) I strongly suggest you watch a pair of documentaries "The Making of Jaws" and "The Shark is Still Working". Both can be seen as part of the Extras on the Blu-Ray release. The first one, done around 1995 for the 20th Anniversary, highlights just how difficult it was to make the film. Spielberg (for whom this was his second theatrical film) had to deal with the double technical issues nightmare of shooting on the ocean AND a mechanical shark that wouldn't operate properly for months. The second one shows the impact of the film and interviews with some of the more obscure actors in the film, most of whom were locals from Martha's Vineyard (Lee Fiero, who played Mrs. Kintner....the guy who says "A whaaaaat?"....the guy who played Quint's sidekick in earlier scenes). If you like Robert Shaw (and IMO, he was simply *robbed* by not even getting nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in this film, let alone the win he deserved), try "The Sting", "From Russia With Love", "The Battle of Britain", "Black Sunday" and "The Taking of Pelham One-Two-Three". Incidentally he actually helped write part of his monologue about the sinking of the "USS Indianapolis" (You may also want to read up or watch documentaries on that. Survivors recalled what it was actually like being afloat on the open ocean for four days.) The shooting star scene was an effect added post-production. The actual scene was filmed in the daytime with a filter. John Williams' music (for which he won a much deserved Academy Award) was masterful. Spielberg admitted that the music (specifically the iconic shark leitmotif) was responsible for at least half of the film's box office success (and, it was the highest grossing film ever made, upon release, until "Star Wars: A New Hope" dethroned it two years afterwards). The sound effects also won an Oscar. So glad there's yet another fan of the film now.

@@RyanCarrington Fun facts: The hand on the beach the morning after the first shark victim (Christine Watkins) belonged to a female member of the film's production crew because the prosthetic hand did not look realistic enough. Quint's Indianapolis speech is based on a true story. The scene where Hooper finds Ben Gardner's head in the hull of the boat was filmed in film editor Verna Fields' parents swimming pool and milk was added to give it a murky underwater look. The first victim Christine Watkins, was portrayed by Susan Backlinie, a stunt person. She was tied to a cable system which pulled her back and forth and the test bites of the shark consisted of someone pulling her from underneath. If you're looking for comedy, I strongly suggest "AIRPLANE". Ridiculous, but 40 years later, funny as f***. I'll keep throwing suggestions your way.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, i love watching a first reaction to this. It's in my top 10 films. I first saw it at 5 and loved it, but i get what you mean how films pass you by for one reason or another. It's only this last week i've started watching Indiana Jones films and i'm in my early 40's lol.

Thanks for watching! 🙌 I love the first 3 Indiana Jones movies. I was around 8 when I first watched them and been a fan ever since ☺️

Some of the footage of a shark attacking the cage and thrashing is real footage from a separate source, incorporated into the film. Robert Shaw was one of the greats, and my favorite role of his is as the Nazi Panzer commander in Battle of the Bulge.

FUN FACT: Steven Spielberg shot the severed head coming out of the hole in a swimming pool. They also added milk to the pool for murkiness. THAT SCENE RUINED MY CHILDHOOD|!
