Robert Shaw was possibly the '70's premier character actor. Beside JAWS, he kicked ass in THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE, one of the best crime films of the '70's (great chemistry between Shaw, Walter Matthau and Martin Balsam), and he stole THE STING as the Irishman.
You are exactly right!! I was just about to comment that but you beat me to it :-) He worked for S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Him and Sean Connery had a hell of a fight on that train in From Russia With Love!
I love my parents. They took me to see jaws at 5. I was f$&ked, I was hiding between the seats. In a strange way I knew what’s was going on and then I didn’t. I went to Grand Isle Louisiana on vacation after watching. And was scared as s$&t the entire time 😂
If you watch one of the Jaws: The Inside Story that scene was not improvised, Spielberg and a few of his friends wrote it out with some help and even Roy Schneider added the line about the dolls eyes. Robert Shaw asked if he could do it with a few drinks in him but he was too drunk and only got a few good lines out of him, the next day he did it stone sober and knocked it out of the park and they edited the clips together. Watch that documentary exactly 1 hour and 5 minutes into it
@@ashyclaret Right. Carl Gottlieb recalls the speech as rewritten by Shaw (and read aloud by Shaw for Gottlieb and others) as very close to what we get in the film.
+Goon Industries Can you imagine if Opie was out of the picture (as he should have been) and it was just Ant and Jimmy? Show would have been off the fuckin charts. Opie sucked and did nothing but hold the show back.
+Goon Industries What would be nice is, Ant comes back from rehab and goes back onto the radio show, and opie throws a shit fit on the air and gets fired
denmac19 I was thinking the same exact thing. The chemistry between Anthony & Jimmy is so good. Yet, Opie sits there saying nothing until he probably realizes he should chime in. Then, when he does talk, he brings the flow to a grinding halt.
Opie always WAS in the background, alright....the show was 75% Atnhony, 25% Jimmy and 1%, the man who'd been doing radio since he was 18 - The DESTROYER
There’s a lot is shit talk about Opie after the fact.... look, he wasn’t the joke man but he made this magic work sometimes. Listen at 5:55... it’s a beautiful (minor) setup to let Jim and Ant go nuts. It worked, just a little peppered line to let them do Voss, quote and improve. This show was magic in a bottle and they all played a part.
I've said this before bc im a new listener believe it or not. I never got all the opie hate but ive started to see his affinity for delevetating funny conversations while contributing almost never- to them. How did he "break in" in I wonder
I heard Shaw told Dreyfuss that there might be room in Hollywood for two short Jewish actors. One I suspect the other actor was Dennis Hoffman and two Spielberg probably got offended.
This scene was originally written by Carl Gottleib. Unsatisfied by the scene as it existed in the script, Robert Shaw completely rewrote it himself. Legend has it that he rewrote it and memorized it the night before the shoot.
I always think that whatever actor they're shitting on is a fan of the show, and they hear Ant or Jim talk about they're bad acting, and it sends them into a deep depression and a lifetime of insecurity. I don't mean that in a sympathetic way, i just picture their faces.
Shaw was the real deal and like the other anglo-irish actors of his generation, he didn't need to think about how to stress and intonate and nuance a scene, it came instinctually.
The other dynamic of his speech is the way he still portrays his dislike for Hooper, he kept saying “Chief” as if the college boy with “city hands” couldn’t understand the plight of a Serviceman almost dying.
The sinking is a situation that's so bad, it's almost funny He's portraying a guy who's traumatized yet hardened by it. As if the unbelievability of it is the only thing allowing him to tell it
I love how they're riffing on Batman at the end, I want to see Robert Shaw as old bitter crippled Batman who reflects on when he was shot in the knees and says "...and no Batmobile had been sehn-t."
Jim maybe has a point with 'Herbie from Cleveland' but, as an Englishman, the idea of a Herbie Robinson from Cleveland is very realistic. I can see the caption now..
SgtBaker16 are they both homosapiens who live on the same planet in close proximity to each other in a democratic country and speak the same language in their countries? Then yep its all the same. Countries are a waste of time
the bit about not being in the original script was true although when they started shooting the script wasn't even finished. recommend watching Jaws the inside story as it's probably one of the best making of docs I've seen
Ok. Robert Shaw was NOT drunk. He was acting. He tried to do it the day before drunk and it stank. He re-shot it the next day stone cold sober and the DP said you couldn't tell the difference. 2. They had always intended for this scene. They needed a scene to explain why Quint hated and hunted sharks. The original monologue was originally 8 pages long and everybody writer including Robert Shaw worked on it.
Actually, Bruce the Shark wrote the Indianapolis monologue and was going to do it himself in the movie, but he wasn't working that day so they gave it to Shaw and he was fine with it.
Morning fifth day I bumped into a friend of mine Gregg Hughes, Basketball Star, horses ass. He had this podcast he sorted floated about like a top upended, well his funny bone has been bitten in half
Jaws was based on a true story of some shark attacks that took place in New Jersey , the only big difference was the shark attacks took place in a fresh water lake, not an ocean.
@1:41 As someone from 'his side of the Pond'; it's funny how curious the guys find Shaw's inflexion there. That sort of sardonic levity is instantly recognisable here. Delivered perfectly by Shaw.
@@dmc3079 Well, he was. But you could hear that sort of upward inflexion anywhere in the British Isles. Not saying unique by any means - just recognisable.
Apparently on the set of Jaws, Shaw told Dryfuss that there was room in Hollywood for two short Jewish actors. One, I think he was referring to Dennis Hoffman. Two, that sounds a little insensitive. Three, Spielberg was probably offended.
***** I cannot comment fairly as I do not know Mr. LeBouf's work well, but I find the thought of anyone matching Shaw's riveting intensity hard to picture.
This is the first time I have heard a comparison made between Mr. Shaw and Mr. LeBouf. More than that I cannot say. As mentioned, I do not know Mr. LeBeouf's work well.
In the novel Hooper gets killed in the cage, Quint gets tangled in the ropes and is drowned by the shark and as the shark was coming from Brody it died from it's injuries.
I thought Vincent D'Onofrio was the bad guy in the original Pelham One Two Three, but he was in the TV movie version... now I don't even know if I've seen the original and just forgotten it.
Shaw's monologue - the only monologue worth talking about for twenty minutes on the radio. Legend.
Tsst. What about 19 minutes?
This is a great example of Ant and Jimmy being hilarious and Opie not knowing what to do at all
One of the most horrifying scenes in film history is a man quietly telling a story.
Eleven hundred jokes went into the bit, three hundred sixteen jokes come out, and Opie ruined the rest

When opie goes to the phones, you hear that high pitched screamin' and hollerin'.

Two other awesome movies he's in is The Battle of Britain and Force 10 from Navarone.
Shaw was GREAT in The Sting...

This is one of the best bits that's ever been on any type of radio.
Robert Shaw should have atleast been nominated,.
The Indiannapolis monologue was a joint collaboration by scriptwriters that was re-written by Robert Shaw to create the monologue as portrayed.
If you watch one of the Jaws: The Inside Story that scene was not improvised, Spielberg and a few of his friends wrote it out with some help and even Roy Schneider added the line about the dolls eyes.

this is one of very few 10/10 films for me.
I think Jaws is an 8 out of 10, but Shaws speech is a 10, brings the entire movie up a point or so.
I'm shocked Opie had actually seen it...
Williams' music during this scene is absolutely fucking chilling. Goat film.
Guys, guys. Opie went on vacation. He's very appreciative that he got to go to vacation. Guys
For the record, John Milius wrote the Indianapolis speech that Shaw edited/improvised over.

Randomhero651 - This, yes. Milius. Was hoping someone would mention it.
@ 6:44 Opie making it about him...they need a screeching tires track for every time he pipes up and stalls the momentum.

+Goon Industries Can you imagine if Opie was out of the picture (as he should have been) and it was just Ant and Jimmy? Show would have been off the fuckin charts. Opie sucked and did nothing but hold the show back.

Shaw was amazing in that movie. If you've ever been around old fisherman than you know how perfect he was in the film
Without Robert Shaw, Jaws would have been an average 70s monster movie.
I like when Ant agrees w something...YEEESS!...lol
R.i.p. Robert Shaw. Legend
i love O&A movie talks so much.
Poor Opie tried his hardest to steer away the comedy from this bit. Going onto company drama, a "skin tag", and his days off. Awful.
theres no way he can bring the show down with 3 barrels, not with 3...
@@xDAxBEARS made my day
One thing about a co-host chief he's got a humorless personality dead personality like milk toast.
Such a great movie, funny to think about all the great scenes and none of them included the shark
Quint's death scene and the scene after were pretty great, flawed as the special effects were. And despite all the continuity errors.
Opie getting in the way, once again....
denmac19 I was thinking the same exact thing. The chemistry between Anthony & Jimmy is so good. Yet, Opie sits there saying nothing until he probably realizes he should chime in. Then, when he does talk, he brings the flow to a grinding halt.
Once you take away the comedic exaggeration, Opie is a dead ringer for a real life Chip.

Robert Shaw as Quint in Jaws vs Oliver Reed as Proximo in Gladiator. Mucho gravitas.
Both huge drinkers and hell-raisers.
Oliver Reed was brilliant in his final performance.
No Opie fan mail had been sent.
shaw wasn't Irish as many believe he was English, he made Ireland his home to avoid paying the crippling British taxes.
what does it matter at the end of the day?
