- #nickpwashere on instagram for updates, something new.
First off, I want to give a huge thank you to @movclips1828 for providing all the “then” movie footage for this video. A great channel that uploads scenes from a variety of classic movies.
Now, in this video you will see where the 1975 classic was made. My visit to the real life town of Amity was incredible, and this was my greatest movie location experience yet. Getting to walk through the real life places used for one of favorite movies was mind blowing. We stayed in Edgartown, a two minute walk to much of what made up “Friendship” Island. While most of what you see in town is amazingly still in tact and holding up well, the beaches are very different.

Masterful story telling, legendary performances, ingenious editing and arguably the most well known movie score ever made, are some of things that make this classic very special.
During production Spielberg was under so much pressure from studio people, producers, etc even months after filming ended he was waking up from nightmares thinking he was still on Martha’s Vineyard. He also has a natural fear of the ocean which didn’t help him but served the movie well. You see that play into Roy Scheider’s character, who’s performance as Chief Brody is one of my all-time favorites. So he opted out of any involvement w the sequels for more than a fear of being typecast. The process was pretty miserable for him, especially with the mechanical sharks constantly malfunctioning. The salt water being the culprit.
It’s true Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss didn’t always get along. There was a natural clash of personalities with the added dimension of old vs young. I think it became worse by the extended shooting schedule. The actors became very bored and cases of cabin fever were setting in... They often had to wait around for boats and people to clear from shots to go along w the shark issues. Shaw liked to drink and this became his cure for boredom. The feud between Shaw and Dreyfuss has definitely been exaggerated over the years but they did have issues at times. I imagine Shaw being a seasoned professional, realized pushing their differences behind the scenes would help increase the tension between their characters on screen. All adding to the young Spielberg’s already increasing pressures. They didn’t even have a script ready when they began filming LOL. Think about it, the book was only released in 74 and they began shooting in May of 74… Crazy… They say pressure creates diamonds and while JAWS isn’t flawless, it’s certainly brilliant in every way.
And then there was John Williams, can't say enough good things about this master of his craft. Basically, the all-in-one Beethoven, Mozart and Bach of our time. Just a special, special talent.
The original budget was for 3.5/4 million and it swelled to 9 million (roughly 45 million today which is low by the current blockbuster standard cost). It went on the make a record breaking $470,000,000 world wide. Which would be almost 2.4 billion today.
RIP
Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Murray Hamilton - Krátké a kreslené filmy
It was a special experience to visit the real life Amity Island, and I'm glad I was able to have this video ready for the anniversary day of this blockbusting, cultural event... Oh, and I know I misspelled Vineyard Haven lol... Enjoy!
when your born and raised there its not that special lol. but we do know some of the darker story's of the filming as well
BRAVO, NICK!!!! You did a stellar job lining up scenes and locations DECADES later! You should be very proud! I was born In Massachusetts, had been to the Vineyard back in the 80s, but never really paid attention to the actual location. Will definitely plan a trip! How in the world did you score those empty street shots? Was it the luxury of off season or just EARLY Sunday morning? Great job, man. You knocked it outta the pahhhhhk....in the yahhhd.... not too fahhhh.... from the cahhhhh. : )
@@billbrock85 haha! Thanks a lot Bill!!
I was there at the end of May and one of the early mornings was a Sunday. It’s a special place! Much appreciated!
Wow I'm from Durham England 🇬🇧 love 2 visit it
@@78gbody hi bud I'm grant from England what are the dark stories ?
46 years has passed in the blink of an eye
Jaws still has bite and Robert Shaw deserved an Oscar for his performance.
Robert Shaw absolutely OWNED this movie. Every scene Quint is in is fantastic. The shark almost becomes irrelevant as the relationship between Brody, Quint & Hooper unfolds. Such a great movie. I wonder how different the movie would be if ‘Bruce’ worked more often.
passed*
@@dr.loomis4221 Merely an error which I have not made in the past.
He sure did! I agree❤❤
After seeing JAWS, I wanted a mechanical shark for our pool! I know I'm weird, but it would of been so damn cool! Of course providing everybody knew it was a fake shark🦈🏊♀️ how fun !!!!
The scene where Quint tells the story of the USS Indianapolis always gives me chills
every time, ever since i first saw this, whenever i eat a saltine cracker, i do the lines like he did in his first scene...accent and all. and im 51 years old....even at a restaurant.
The original sequel script was a prequel about Quint’s shark experiences beginning with the USS Indianapolis
Apparently that scene was written by none other than John Milius. Director of the original Conan the barbarian
@@salvatoresalvaggio2347 Robert Shaw himself did the final rewrite of Quint's speech. I believe what's on film is Shaw's rewrite of John Milius' rewrite of Howard Sackler's original speech. Steven Spielberg said that credit for the final speech is shared equally by all three men. But it's Shaw's mesmerizing performance that brings it to goosebump-inducing life.
Yes Robert Shaw delivered the USS Indianapolis story with some of his own preferences. What came naturally to him I guess. He was also suffering a severe hangover! Can't imagine anyone apart from Shaw playing the part of Quint. Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss were perfect too.
I've seen one or two other "visiting Jaws shooting locations" videos. But what you did here was very ambitious. You visited every location in the movie that was accessible to you and even tried to recreate the framing and camera pans wherever possible. I'm seriously impressed.
Thanks so much!
I absolutely love this video! So well done. The film “Jaws”was a masterpiece. No CGI. Beautifully filmed. I live in Wales, U.K., and have never been to USA but after watching this video, i feel like I have just been on a guided tour to Martha’s Vineyard. And at an enjoyable, relaxed pace, taking everything in. Great shot matching. Well narrated. Great job! Many thanks!
Thank you so much for that great feedback. I’m happy to hear it was so well received!
Watch out when u swim, Martin.... Those 2 black eyes are always watching !
Yes! He did a fabulous job!!!!! I agree❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very well made, Filming, info and put together. Nicely narrated , very enjoyable 😊😊
I rarely review these "filming locations" videos, but this one is truly in an elite category. Absolutely awesome screen matching along with split screens makes this an extraordinary video. Additionally, the explanations regarding the variances in structures and landscapes, add another layer to the viewing experience. Nick, you have obviously put a lot of work into this video, and you should be commended for such a professional effort. By the way, I list Jaws in my top five films of all time, and I am an avid SCUBA diver.
First off, I place JAWS in my Top 5 as well. Now, more importantly, thanks so much for taking the time to watch, appreciate and write such a thoughtful comment. Scuba is something I’ve wanted to try for a while but have yet to experience. I think I will finally give it a shot, just not off the shores of Amity lol.
Could not agree more!
Totally agree. Informative, engrossing and recorded in stunning quality. Definitely the best version I've seen! It wouldn't look out of place on a Jaws Blu-Ray as bonus material.
Editing is on point,so many of these types of videos are poorly put together but this is amazing…👍
@@NickP Why ever not? You might get to see a Great White Shark...
Good job! RIP Roy Scheider.
Thank you! ..and yes indeed.
This was incredible. Took me right back to 1975. I was 10 when Jaws came out. This movie just never leaves you. I was born in Maine so the New England area and scenes like this always draws me in. I’m so glad I came across this video I loved it and could watched it scene by scene of the movie. Thank you X 100
That’s great to hear, glad it brought it all back for you. Thanks a lot!
I just vacationed in Vineyard Haven, what a lovely place. Felt extremely special in its own way.
The effort and passion that went into this video is astounding. Props to you for finding the exact spots of shots from this film. Keep up the amazing work! This was a great watch.
I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback.
Thanks a lot Jon, I will try!
Isn't it weird how much joy JAWS brings to so many.
Yes haha
I spent a month on the Florida Keys in 1976, from the UK, aged 21, just camping. There were fishing boats that went out just to catch big sharks, so the paying customers could cut the jaws out and clean them up to hang on the walls back home. It was sad to see the quayside butchery, just because of this film.
As everyone else says... You did an unbelievable job on this. Being a lifelong RI native I've been a huge fan of Jaws. Last August (2021) I was able to spend a day on the island by myself (my wife had no interest in doing a movie scavenger hunt) and did my best to find as many scene locations as I could so I feel like I was following both the movie's and your footsteps from just a few weeks earlier. I wish I would have seen this video before that day as you provided so much incredible information mapping the "then" to "now". For Jaws fanatics, I think this video will become part of this legendary movie. Thanks so much for the effort and sharing!
It’s a special place to visit, especially for Jaws fans. Hope you get a chance to revisit.
I really appreciate the awesome compliments, they are greatly appreciated!
Your video editing is AWESOME! The back and forth between today and the movie, the seamless overlays, the description of what you are seeing and why you think it differs…all just truly informative, entertaining, thought-provoking and leaving you satisfied with the results. I’ve been on a few “I’m going to see the current locations in my favorite movie” trips for myself.. this was so well done, I’ll trust you to be there for me and really immerse me in the experience!
I really appreciate the thoughtful and generous feedback. That’s mighty kind of you to say. JAWS is a special movie and one my Top 5 favorite flicks. Glad you enjoyed the video. I’ll do my best to keep them coming!
I tell you, this was something special for me. Jaws is one of my favorite movies of all time and I can watch it from beginning to end at any moment. Just seeing the exact areas where the film was shot some 47 years ago feels like stepping through a time machine. And seeing what has changed, and what has remained the same in so many years is just so breathe taking and riveting. Just like the movie itself, it touches on the humanity of those characters because the acting was done so well. You feel their life and humanity throughout the film, and seeing the exact areas where it was shot and what it is today brings the same message of life and humanity. Things change over time but some things remain the same forever.
So very well said there Joshua!
Same here. I never tire of watching this movie.
One of my ALL TIME favorite movies!!!when I swim out too far in the ocean I start hearing dadnt dadnt!!!and I turn around and swim back!!! Thanks JAWS!!!
Really amazing how drastically places can change over time...
I think the town hall should have reconstructed Quint's house to make it a museum in homage to the film. And that would have brought them some nostalgic tourists... Like you!
Thank you so much for all this meticulous work to restore the wonderful memories of this legendary film that has become legendary! 🦈
It certainly can be mind blowing at times to see the drastic changes and at other times lack of change over time.
Thank you so much for making me feel like I did this special classic justice!
I grew up in Springfield, MA but never made it to Martha’s Vineyard. At 53, this remains my all time favorite motion picture. Your splits, matching, pauses and narrative are all terrific! Question for you: What kind of camera did you use? Looks 4K and crisp. You have done a very special thing for us fans. Thank you 🙏!
That’s great to hear from a true fan of JAWS!
I actually visited Springfield once for wedding, stopped at NBA HoF. The camera is a Sony ZV1. Thanks for taking the time to write this, much appreciated!
I’ve watched a TON of these Jaws filming location videos. This one is by far the best produced. The still frames side by side are just perfect. Great work man!
That’s very much appreciated!
wow! someone did his homework!! Great side by side...thanks
Beautiful transitioning and great matching of the scenes shot for shot well done. 👍👍🦈 Jaws forever
Many thanks!
Great job editing and great HD quality for shooting!Amazing how some locations look the same and some different so many years later!Jaws is one of my favorite films! Blessings in Christ’s Peace!🕊😇
My ALL TIME favorite Movies...I can watch over and over again and not get sick of them watching either.
64 yr old Limey here. We watch Jaws once a month, best film ever. Funny when you watch something regularly it doesn't age...
This is superb a big thank you my friend..👏👏👏👏
Isn’t that the truth, and it’s funny how that works... JAWS is my second favorite film after Back to the Future. It’s a shame they both didn’t win the awards they rightfully deserved. Anyhow, JAWS is a special movie that doesn’t seem to age no matter what, and I’m due to rewatch soon. Thanks a lot friend!
"Here's to swimmin' with bow legged women" Quint
Nice!
I’ve never quite got that one 😂😂
My fave toast to use.
Even better swimmin with no legged women!
@@brucedavidson5400 lol
Very well done, this should be included on the JAWS Blu-ray as an extra.
This movie changed American Pop Culture, it's stood the test of time and it's a piece of art that still captivates people of all ages.
Wow! What an awesome comment!
Happy 4th, thanks!
Andi Gibb is alive and well walking his dog on min 11:59. This movie changed the way a whole generation approached the sea. Thank you Nick.
Wow. I am not only into movie locations but into before and after photos matching 100 year old postcards with their modern locations. So I am aware how difficult it is to get an accurate viewing angle in order to compare like with like. To be able to do it with moving images is quite astonishing. Very impressive, and particularly bringing such a great movie back to life. Thanks for this Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul. Thanks for the great feedback!
Ahhh…the late great Murray Hamilton with a boffo performance as the Mayor!! Exceptionally stylish in his Anchors Sports Jacket! Gotta get me one of those!!
😂😂😂😂
Loved him too! Great acting job & great man!
Always got him confused with Hal Holbrook when I was a kid. Hamilton was great in this and Holbrook was very good in Magnum Force with Clint Eastwood.
I had just graduated from high school when I saw this movie. I have watched it countless times since. I agree, one of the best movies ever made!
Absolutely brilliant, thank you for making it. My favourite film. Spent my childhood in the 70's hearing about this film and talking about it with mates, every kid claimed to know someone who had seen it, but were too young to see it ourselves. Then VHS players arrived and I remember renting the video in the 80's and finally seeing it.
Great memories from a great time… I really appreciate the awesome feedback!
My grandparents lived on the island for their entire life basically and they showed me all these spots that I still see every summer, such an iconic place
Very cool
You've done such a great job lining up the shots. There is something about Jaws that is timeless.
Thank you Jacob!
Perhaps it's the timeless (protective) nature of Martha's Vineyard/forefathers, itself/themselves = ultimately fulfilling such need.
What a great job!! 👍 The wife and I are heading to the vineyard in a couple weeks. I've saved your video to frequent many of the spots of filming. My brothers took me to see jaws in the theaters when it came out. I was 5 years old and can still remember the head rolling out of the hull. Best freaking movie EVER!!!!! Thanks again, keep up the great work.
@@mfog5543 by far one of the best jump out of your skin moments in cinematic history.
This was SO well-done!! So atmospheric. Saw Jaws when I was 12. Still one of my favorite movies ever.
Great job. It's hard to believe that the movie was released 46 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. There were people afraid to take a bath because of this film. Great memories. Thanks.
Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw were great in the movie.
The whole film captured so much of regular life in the 70s without actually trying.
Great work
Thanks a lot bud!
Lmao...I'm watching your channel too.
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL GERMAN IN VENICE BRILLIANT WORK YOU DO 👍👏👏👏
Cool to see you here "German In Venice". You guys do similar work. Keep it up guys!!! Love it!
Yep. There are a lot of great movies but this one is a masterpiece. Something special about the 70s beaches and boats.
I was born (1996) 21 years after the film came out and it is literally one of my absolute favorite movies of all time. And I completely agree Hollywood should not even touch this film to remake it. This movie is definitely a classic. This film still scares people and still keeps people from going into the water.
The best of that movie and to be honest one of the best scenes of any movie is when they were on quints boat and when he was telling the story of when his ship went down during the war
In 1975, the true story of the Indianapolis was sadly being forgotten as a footnote to a different past. But your right it was, and still is in my opinion, the greatest ever movie moment! The movie had everyone in a terrified suspense over just one shark. Those brilliant lines said by Robert Shaw made every movie goer realize that kind of fear was part of those who faced it for real.
@@jameshill1740. Thanks dude, I still watch that movie from time to time when I’m up late having a few beers
I always wondered what happened to the boat somebody ever restore it?
Robert Shaw delivered an outstanding performance which deserved the Oscar.
What a quiet and quaint town...I would love to live there or have a vacation home there!
Sadly, you're in for quite a shock if you look up house prices on Martha's Vineyard ... :(
I've been there, Super expensive. It's better to stay on the cape and take the ferry out of woods hole.
Sell your soul and try to be a politician.
You’re gonna need a boat load of money!
Absolutely brilliant 👏 thank you so much for taking me back. This movie you can watch over and over!
Classic.
That’s great to hear, and thank you!
This movie captures the essence of the 70’s, right down to the coffee mug Brody’s wife used, and the essence of the sea, with John Williams music. I grew up on Long Island, and have been to Martha’s Vineyard. Edgartown is so much like Sag Harbor. I have a need to watch this movie, every time it shows up. Thanks for the memories! ❤
For a film coming up on 50 years it's incredible how many locations are kept very much like they were when it was filmed. One big reason might be restrictions on changing historic locations and/or the desire to not want to modernize because the area would lose its seaside charm.
Being from Michigan, I can totally understand the shoreline changing like that. Our beaches cycle up & down every 10 or 15 years or so (along with the dunes being in constant flux) I was glad to see not much else has changed though. Still as picturesque as I would hope....or as Quint would say "incredible"
As a kid, from 73 to 83. We used to vacation on the Vineyard in the month of August. I remember all these spots as a kid. What a flashback and great memories. Great vid. Thanks
That’s great, and thank you.
Whow! Now I've got to watch "JAWS" for the umpteenth time again!
Thanks for the "Then & Now" trip down the "JAWS" memory lane. I was 22 that summer. I'm 70 now! I still love that movie. Thanks Again!
That’s great! I look forward to rewatching again myself for same amount of time haha. Special movie for sure.
Thank you!
The "new" Brody house should still have 2 yellow barrels outside the door as in J2.
I don’t want them to ever remake Jaws either. Best movie EVER!
Absolutely superb. Thanks so much for sharing. This film and it's cast remains in the hearts of so many.
Mate, this video is utterly fabulous. Well done. We here in Australia also have a very special place in our hearts for Jaws. I too visited Martha's Vineyard in 1993 and walked around to check out these iconic locations. What a special place. Brilliant stuff. John from Canberra.
Dude, I'm floored. What a piece of work this is. For someone such as myself, having come of age along the beaches of Cape May County in South Jersey, this movie landed on me like a ton of bricks. To revisit so many of the locations which gave this movie its sense of place and charm, is unreal to me. Well done.
Thanks a lot!!
Cape May is beautiful and has great food! You are fortunate to have grown up there!
@@theoneandonlypinkypinky8245 Just the summers at my grandmother's house. But all I knew about the ocean was found there and then here came this film.
"Here lies the body of Mary Lee, died at the age of 103, for fifteen years she kept her virginity, not a bad record for this vicinity".
🤣
"I see you brought your rubbers - ha ha!"
Classic
Honestly the best filming location video on YT. I was nine years old when Jaws 1 debuted. My imagination definitely played tricks on me every time I entered the ocean.
My favourite film ever. Great presentation. Great casting of all the actors.
The John Williams score is fantastic and still gives me goose bumps
Martha’s Vineyard. Just beautiful 😍
Nick, absolutely AMAZING!! words can't describe what an amazing job you did. I'm speechless!
I watched the movie in the UK in the first week of release. From that moment and remains to this day my favourite movie, I absolutely love it. I’ve been to Martha’s Vineyard a few times, and will visit again for the 50th. We have named our dog Martha in honour. This is a fantastic program, thank you.
Amazing how little the Pagoda tree has changed in all these years, weathering winter storms year after year, I can't believe limbs haven't been lost.
That was pretty mind blowing.
The stuntman in the cage during those scenes was Dick Warlock. Long time stuntman for Kurt Russell. He also played Michael Meyers in Halloween 2.
That’s great stuff there, thanks for the info.
What a name
I met Warlock at a horror movie convention a few years ago. He was an unusually nice guy! Carl Gottlieb, the screen writer for Jaws was there as well and again, he was an extremely nice man. Both were willing to talk to fans and share stories.
@@paulascott5701 that’s awesome. Dick is my mom’s first cousin and I used to be the webmaster for his website. He is a really good guy.
@@shepdawg66 Oh wow!! He really is a first rate guy. I assume he came from a great family. :-)
Thank you so much. I grew up in Rhode Island, parents always took us to MV and Block island. I was 6 in 1975 but Mom still took me to see Jaws. I've loved it ever since. My favorite by far. You brought back so many memories.
Excelent job!
I m 48 years old
I really love the movie
It's one of My favouite films
I Saw it a Lot of times
This year i Saw it with My kids
A great movie!.
Thanks for your job!
It’s a special movie for sure!
Thanks a lot!
I grew up in Edgartown, but we moved one season before all my friends got to be extras in the movie. This brings back great memories. Great work!
6:59
That’s so cool to me. I’ve watched Jaws countless times over the past few decades and seeing a whole new perspective like that makes it feel like a deleted scene or something lol
Lol Awesome!
I love how you juxtapose the 2 so we can clearly see how things have changed. Thanks!
I'm laid up after an operation and loved watching your video. Thank you so much from all the people who love this movie as much as you do. As i'm a little more sentimental and tired thank usual I had tears of appreciation and joy in my eyes throughout.
Well done on such a fantastic job, and for helping to keep me entertained 😊😆
It’s truly amazing to hear my video provided comforting entertainment to someone recovering from an operation.
I’m blown away, and thank you so much for taking the time to tell me!
This made my day. Thanks again, and a very speedy recovery to you!!
14:43
I realize how much time and effort you must have put into this video, AMAZING job and thank you.
I’m really glad you enjoyed it.. It’s greatly appreciated!
Jaws has always been one of my favorite movies. I've been obsessed with it since I saw it in the movie theatres when I was a kid! Your video is amazing! I enjoyed every second of it! Thanks for bringing us back to Amity after all of these years! And I agree with you, it's one of the best movies of all time.
I’m glad the video brought back some great memories for you!
Thanks a lot!
Dude, you killed this video! One of my all time favorite movies and it was amazing to see the locations and the TONS of work you put into making sure you followed the panning and pacing of the movie with the new clips. You spent a ridiculous amount of time making this clip and I want you to know this did not go unnoticed! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks a lot!
I've never realized how beautiful the locations in Jaws are. Stunning.
The special edition DVD has an EXTENSIVE making of movie. Also read THE JAWS LOG by Carl Gottlieb if you want more making of. It was highly documented.
Well done
Thanks a lot
Excellent video. I'm watching this as I have i "Jaws" playing on my TV. I love jaws, its a must watch every summer, even if its just playing in the background.
I do the same thing. Thanks a lot!
Wow! Awesome job. I enjoyed this very much. I’ll be watching it again for sure. And gonna get my Jaws dvd out and watch it tonight. One of the greatest movies ever made for sure and this video just makes it better in my opinion. Thanks again.
That’s great. I’m glad to see the video is well received and helps enhance the experience.
Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Very well done video. Jaws is a classic, once in a lifetime film. As a 12 year old in 1975, it captivated everything about that summer. Coming back from a business trip in about 2006, I was fortunate to be on the same plane as Roy Schneider. He was very gracious as people offered a hello.
Dude this was awesome. You did a great job! I’m with you, I was 11 when I saw this in the theater, I wouldn’t go in my pool. “ …you got your rubbers chief?”
Lolllll Thanks a lot!
thats some bad hat, harry.
So cool. I couldn't not watch this, I'm 49 years old and despite living in the UK, Jaws is part of me. I'm 1 year older than the movie, but i don't know a world without it. Jaws, Raiders, and Star Wars are far and away my most watched and favourite movies, when i was a kid it was because they were awesome, but now when i watch its because they provide a big nostalgia dopamine hit.... and did i say they were awesome?
This was brilliantly done. We had a month-long family holiday in the States, starting in NYC and MV was the next stop. It was 2015; forty years on and we were on a pilgrimage to this epic movie. The whole holiday was inspired by movie and tv scenes. Our NYC apartment was opposite the old “Elaine’s” made (even more) famous by Woody Allen’s “Manhattan”.
That’s awesome, great experience that you’ll never forget. MV was a really cool place to visit.
Thanks a lot!
This is so cool I’m from Plymouth Massachusetts as a kid in the late 80s I used to go over the vineyard to my aunts house every weekend! I used to bike around that island for hours and hours it was so peaceful I loved it ! Cool video 👍
That’s great.. Thank you!
Well, you got what you wanted...a look at the making of this iconic film...and an excellent job it is... thank you
Greatly appreciated Troy
I LOVE this! I watch JAWS a few times a year. It NEVERRR gets old
Well done video. Well put together. This is one of those movies where I know every scene. So great to see where it was shot. Thank you.
Amazing Job .Best location vid i have ever seen !!
Thanks a lot!!
I second that!
I was gonna say the same thing. I've watched a lot of these location vids for various films and tv shows but this one blows them all out of the water! (pun intended!)
@@Aldo21574 Thanks a lot!
The only shark movie that makes me nervous of the sea
Agreed
Outstanding work! Thanks for all the data and the nostalgic memories.
This was fantastic! So much passion and love clearly went into making this. Really brilliant..... they don't make films like this anymore. So nostalgic, thanks! X
Thanks so much!
You’re right, they really don’t make movies to this quality anymore. Glad you enjoyed the video!
My wife and I watched this together and we were very impressed at the great lengths you went to. Thanks for your hard work Nick.
That’s awesome to hear! Thank you both!
OMG, You have taken the trip that I wanted to do! EVERY Jaws fan that loves this film as much as we do NEEDS to see this work of art you've created. Thank you SO much for Taking on this quest, Nick. Jaws is my favorite film, always has been, always WILL be! Your split-screen work is flawless, your camera angles show us all the perfect spots that us fans would LOVE to see in person, mixed in brilliantly with the actual film shoots! Congrats for taking all of us on a guided tour of Martha's Vineyard that brings us all back to 1975!
Let me know when you want to try to get out to that last shot that you couldn't get, Nick. I'll ditch MY wife for a weekend (she would have hated this as much as YOUR wife!), and come out there to finish the "Nick P." Unofficial Amity Island Tour!
Thanks a lot! It’s awesome how much you enjoyed it. This trip was a long time coming for me.
Lolll That would be epic!
Thanks Nick. i enjoyed seeing the "then' and "now" locations of Jaws. it brings back memories when I first saw Jaws in the summer of 1975. I was 17. i thought i was a tough kid who feared no one or no 'thing'. i screamed liked a little girl when i saw it. Jaws will always be one of my favorites.
Lolll I hear ya.. Glad it brought back those fun memories.
Loved this video. You should visit the filming locations of Friday 13th in Blairstown, NJ. New subscriber here.
Thanks a lot! Please check out my filming locations playlist. I have visited those legendary locations.

I have family in Blairstown. When I visit I stop by the diner
@@NickP I looked at your channel but missed it. Thanks.
Considering all this is here despite Hurricane Sandy hitting, is cool.
The editing and comparison shots are fantastic well done I really enjoyed this video. 😀

@@sticksenstones7536 LOL Thanks.
I loved this time of the movies. A great movie stayed in theaters for months. Now a movie is in and out in a week.
This was great along with my favorite movie of all time and yes the greatest movie of all time...
Amazing job! I'm also a huge Jaws fan and stay on MV every year for family vacations. Your facts and locations were spot on. Thanks for putting the video together.
Awesome. Thanks a lot Don!
I was on the Island for part of the summer when Jaws was filmed. Do remember the set under the bridge.
Great job bud. Absolutely love this masterpiece of a movie!
My favorite movie of all time. I'm 57 and I watch Jaws about 10 times every summer. Back in 1975, when I was 12, we had an in-ground pool in the backyard. After seeing the movie, me and my siblings never went swimming after the sun went down. This is how times have changed. I had my daughter, Maddi, watch Jaws with me about 10 years ago. She's 25 now. Back then, she thought it was stupid and not scary at all. Go figure. Thank you so much for this video, Nick. We can tell you're a huge fan as well....
That’s so funny all around, and yes, times have definitely changed… Thanks for the awesome feedback, I really appreciate it!
Just subscribed. Loved your Jaws adventure. I spent my Summers there in 76 and 77 so we were there right after the filming and saw most of the original film sites before time took its toll. You did a great job of creating a wonderful memory for me.
I could imagine how awesome that must have been to experience back in those years, special stuff. Glad this video brought back those memories for you.
Thanks for the awesome comment!

best video ive seen in a long long time! its EXCTLY the stuff i love, then and now. ive google street viewed jaws as much as i could but this is PERFECTLY what i love. i actually got teared up with emotion. sad but true. i always wonder what places look like now when i watch movies from when i was young. i cant wait to watch more of your vids!
That’s awesome! Glad you to hear the video was so well received… Thanks a lot!
Loved this so much....my husband and I did this a few years ago-but to a much smaller degree than you have done-thank you so much for your extra time showing previous shots from the movie to today’s look!! It’s a such a magical place anyway-we enjoyed taking the a “Chappy” ferry-but like you, couldn’t really get a way to some of the spots we wanted to go to there-I also wanted to go to the bridge where Ted Kennedy drove off of with Mary Jo K!! Thanks again-really enjoyed this!
Thanks a lot!!
