Farewell and adieu TO YOU FAIR SPANISH LADIES FAIRWELL AND ADIEU TO YOU LADIES OF SPAIN FOR WE’VE RECEIVED ORDERS FOR THE SAIL BACK TO BOSTON AND SO NEVERMORE SHALL WE SEE YOU AGAIN

Own it, was my gateway into sharks.

"They ate, they ate me!! A Fu*kin ShARK ATE ME !!"

Discovered this film via Peter Benchley. He brought it up as an inspiration in later introductions of his novel, Jaws and before that I heard him tell the story of how Blue Water's director co-director and expedition leader Peter Gimbel was approached by Zanuck and Brown to see if he could help them get live shark footage. Gimbel told them he'd rather direct Jaws. The producers were taken aback by this, and turned him down, since they already had Spielberg attached. When the deal with Gimbel fell through he did recommend them to call Ron and Valerie Taylor, both of whom were members of the Blue Water expedition. And the rest is history. But going back to Benchley, he maintained that it was the finest film ever made about sharks, regardless of what else had been done. And, I have to agree with him. It's one of the few films I've seen that presents the ocean as a truly alien place. Plus, the film kinda has a tone or vibe that's similar to Jaws. And Peter Lake's incident with the shark cage with the white shark at the end? Totally the inspiration for Hooper's death scene in the novel. Blue Water truly feels like a prototype to the Jaws story.

Richard Dreyfuss never played Matt Hooper in Piranha 3-D, he played Matt Boyd.

I was so shocked 😱when i saw the movie as a child, i begged my Dad, a passionate sailor and diver, to stay out of the water forevermore. Then i read all books about sharks i could get. Especially those written by Hans Hass💙🦈🌊. It has Helped a lot to understand that sharks are no monsters. I love sharks as much as i love the sea. I watched Jaws a hundred times and read the novels just as often. 😊

It's a fascinating Doco, looking back at it. But I'm so glad attitudes towards Mr.white have changed over the decades. I have this on DVD, and every time I see it now. I just can't work out how much trouble they had finding Great White Sharks in South African waters. Or that Peter Gimbel, intimately familiar with Mr. White, as he was didn't take his team to the Farallon Islands off San Francisco.

Saw that with my mum at the cinema in london back in the 70s.brilliant film.

Worth the Premiere

Just watched Jaws 2 the other day again for the 50th time... Really good film. Only problem is that it's not the original and nothing can ever be.

Funny to see Dryfess whining about his role and saying the movie was a dissapointment. Little did he know he was in one of the biggest hit movies of all time .

Great photo material, congrats

I remember when I first saw Jaws. It was at the Greenbrier Mall near the Atlanta Airport, and I was with fellow students in the master's program in psychology at West Georgia College. The seven o'clock show was sold out, and the line for the next showing was already long. We got in the line and waited. By the time we entered the theater, there were no seats together, so we all found our separate seats. I ended up sitting next to a very attractive young woman. About five minutes into the movie, she grabbed my leg and didn't let go until the end of the movie. I was so engrossed in the movie that I hardly noticed.

A White Shark of 25ft would EASILY weigh more than 6000lbs or 3 tons. Deep Blue which is 20ft is over 5500lbs herself. So yes a 25ft White Shark would be tipping the scales at 11,000lbs or 5 tons which would be massive.

Ok guys let's be honest... the animatronics are masterfully crafted beyond any other mechanical sharks we've seen in shark movies so far but the digital ones are the worst fake sharks from that time. That's why i loved and hated this particular shark movie. I wish that they cut out all the digital ones and replaced them with the lifelike ones. 😊

Dang, she looks the same!

ocean ramsy shark aint deep blue, its different specimen also, its probably just full (whale carcass near), not pregnant

Your make this punch?

Yep that’s Hendricks all right.

2024 and beyond !! I'll always love this. Incredible movie.❤

Keith was one of my fav Jaws 2 cast members. <3 I still enjoy the movies very much.

That’s just sick

That shot of Hooper thrusting his head back in pain while "Cry Little Sister" plays is pure comedy gold!

I just watched this movie finally! And when I saw the editing I died 💀it was so funny the editing that me and parents laugh
