No CGI, no green screens, real ocean, real beach community and even real life people (the doctor was a real doctor in Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard). Notice also people on the beaches aren't super model types. Very authentic look and feel to this movie. 👍
I love that you called the first shark innocent 😂
They are and they also are extremely harmless. The odds of being killed by a shark in the U.S. are 3,748,067 to 1. Reported deaths resulting from "unprovoked attack" of sharks in 2020: 10 - worldwide! (Source: USAtoday)
@@lanzknecht8599 Peter Benchley wrote the bestselling book this is based on. He has said he wishes he had done it differently. He felt he demonized sharks, and that this made killing them easier. It's estimated that only 10% of sharks remain in the ocean and we may hunt some species of shark to extinction if we don't take action. It's still a great movie though. I guess it's sort of natural to not feel bad for a scary animal that wouldn't mind eating us. It's equally natural to grieve if we wipe out a creature that's older than the dinosaurs (predating them by 190 million years according to a quick search). We humans are complicated. :)
@@krisaaron8180 Yes, humans have sometimes a warped perception. More people are killed by bee stings or dog attacks than by sharks. On the other hand estimated 100 million sharks are killed every year with desasterous effects on marine ecosystems. And "Jaws" is indeed a great movie. Spielberg broke 2 taboos in the scene with the attack at the shore, letting a child and a dog becoming prey.
In a beach town like that, the hotels, restaurants and tourist industry make 70-90% of their yearly income in June, July and August. That's why someone said "24 hours is like 3 weeks".
16:08-16:13 ... the actor playing that news reporter is actually the author of the Jaws novel, Peter Benchley! Fun fact! 😊
A college girl, a 10 year old boy and a dog die in the first fifteen minutes. Imagine seeing this in the theater in 1975. It was a phenomenon and the first ever true “blockbuster” that catapulted Steven Spielberg’s career.
Congratulations!! You just watched one of the most famous movies in cinema history...and you survived lol. Great reactions.
Fun fact for you - when director Steven Spielberg first heard music composer John Williams play him the 4-note JAWS theme, he thought he was joking and said 'Okay so what's the real theme song you composed?' haha.
After that, Spielberg had John Williams do the music for EVERY movie he made cause he was so brilliant. He even recommended Williams to his best friend, George Lucas, who was filming a new movie at the time, called STAR WARS. Lucas hired Williams, and then had him also compose the music for every other STAR WARS movie he made...that music makes such a big difference when you experience a movie. Thanks for the reaction. Keep smiling👍🙂
I really enjoyed your reaction to one of the greatest films of all time. Good job, ladies!
The shooting star in this movie was not planned but just a lucky coincidence for Steven Spielberg.
Some tidbits you asked during the movie:
Why does the mayor want people to go in the water?
I think it’s about the image. The news is reporting live on the beach, so he wants everyone on the beach (and watching on tv) to see Amity as a place that’s ideal vacation resort for swimming.
What’s wrong with Hooper’s Hands?
The idea is that a hard worker will have rough, calloused hands, while a person that is lazy or doesn’t do any manual labor at all will have baby-soft hands.
Quint saw that Hooper’s hands were soft, and therefore saw him as not the kind of guy that can work hard.
Fishing for a living is surprisingly hard work.
"24 hours is like 3 weeks!" This refers to the fact that they do so much business in the summer, and particularly on Independence Day, that it is equal to 3 weeks business in the off-season. These people are so dependent on the summer business. They live through the off-season on what they can make in the summer. If summer business suffers, off-season life suffers.
What happened to the good ol' American adage of "If life give you lemons, make lemonade"? You're on an island and you got sharks, close the beaches, get big boats and offer shark watching (or hunting back in those days) tours!
The USS Indianapolis is in our history books. Although this is the largest mass animal attack in history, Quint's PTSD caused him to exaggerate a bit on the blame. He stated all the deaths were shark attacks when some bodies recovered showed the men had died from dehydration.
"Jaws" made its mark on history for several reasons. This is the first movie that brought in the term "Summer Blockbuster". Jaws (and later Gremlins) gave reason for the creation of the PG 13 rating.
Jaws made a huge impact on the world population of sharks in a bad way. It brought a huge fear of going into the ocean. Subsequently, the amount of professional shark hunters increased exponentially. Sharks were decimated like never before. It took environmental awareness to point out the damage we had been causing to the ocean's ecology. Populations of some shark species still hasn't recovered from the overhunting to this day.
You know what's kind of funny? The early scene when they found Ben Gardner's boat was filmed at the very end in a swimming pool. To make it seem murky, Spielberg had them pour milk in the water. LOL, the guy was creative.
To look like a bigger deluge they added milk to rain in Singing in the rain.
Other Spielberg classics you need to see are: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET the Extra Terrestrial and Jurassic Park
In the morning, Brody attempts to call the Coast Guard, but Quint, obsessed with killing the shark without outside assistance, smashes the radio. 💯🤔
19:27 coffee ice cream
When times are tough a sea shanty always lifts my spirits.
I always thought Quint smashed the radio because Brody didn’t listen to what he wanted Brody yo do & just went crazy mad and smashed it ! 😮
JAWS was the first giant shark movie. Up until this time sharks in movies and t.v. shows were these dolphin sized fish so it came as a surprise to a lot of people that Great Whites grew 12 to 17 feet in length and fishermen had reported seeing them 20 feet long so the shark in the movie being 25 long seemed monstrous but believable.
I saw a documentary about great whites off Baja Calif. and they were measuring some huge great whites. All of a sudden, the big sharks took off and the divers (in a cage and above on the boat) said what’s scaring those 17’ great whites away? It turned out to be a pregnant great white who was at least 22’ long. She was massive. Scary as all get out!
@@babyfry4775 At the time my dad had a 47 foot trawler out of Oceanside Ca. and I used to take people out who wanted to try and see a large Great White in person. Baja was a good place, so is San Clemente island.
When Jaws was written and filmed, 30 ft was accepted as the maximum, with even the 36ft 'record' from the 1800s still being in some sources. Turned out 36ft was a typo.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Thank goodness for that! Can you imagine a 36 footer?!!! Yikes!
@@babyfry4775
I can't even imagine being close to a 25 footer. I once saw a frozen 14 footer in a glass tank and that was massive, plus a replica of a 17 footer. That's as long as my living room.
5:08 -- Alex Kintner was the boy who was attacked out on his raft -- Several decades after the filming of Jaws, Lee Fierro, who plays 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 - none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot.
"Permanent scar," lol. Cracked me up! Clever!
"the way he ruined that thing, the communication..." LOL 😂young people!
Quint smashed the radio because he didn't want anyone else getting the 10K reward, is what I think.
Edit: About drowning the shark, that is actually what the barrels are for. Sharks never stop moving, they have tp keep water flowing over their gills in order to breathe. The barrels tire the shark out, eventually immobilize him, and he "drowns"
Also his pride, he said in front of the townspeople that he was going to catch the shark
He wanted to avenge the death of his Navy friends, he was ocessed.
Regarding the boat. The mayor didn't want to pay 10K, no way would they have coughed up $$$ for a new boat.
@@65cj55 That's another theory I've seen.
True. also the barrels will mark where the shark is. Keep it from drifting off underwater never to be seen again and offer a line to winch it up to the surface to lash it up to the boat for proof.
Brody wasn’t hurrying at first because he thought it was another prank. No one expected the shark to go into the Pond, which was considered safe water.
if you like a movie from the 70s, watch the original Star Wars! this movie broke the box-office record Jaws had! these two movies brought the word "blockbuster" into the global vocabulary! i see you got introduced to Star Wars recently by watching Visions, so you need to watch the movies now! I guarantee you'll love them! I'm 29 years old and I've seen Jaws and SW a bunch of times! Both never get old!
DOG DAY AFTERNOON
36:57 "He tried so _hard!_ This is messed _up!"_
Yeah. I think _most_ people who have seen this movie will agree, Quint's death was the _worst_ crisis in the movie. I mean Quint didn't really do anything _wrong_ and he _died._
Meanwhile, Mayor Vaughn screwed up _constantly,_ got _other_ people killed, and _survived._
Great job! The mechanical shark from 1975 way more realistic impact that CGI of 2023!
Yeah. CGI that's subtle works really well (there's tons of it in Mad Max Fury Road but they kept the cars real, for example). But whenever it's a CGI monster or whatever, it feels like watching a cartoon.
Saw this the Week it premiered. I was just out of College getting ready to go into the USAF. I have never been up to my Ankles in the Ocean since!
i think the shark and quint knew each other from ww2 days
Great film & reaction. I love the Mayor’s anchor jacket - it’s so 70s groovy! ⚓️⚓️⚓️
Quinn broke the radio so he didn't have to split the $10,000 reward.
No, he was obsessed with killing Sharks after losing his Navy friends, he made it his life mission.
You're both wrong. Quint was tired of Brody running to the radio to call for help when he was needed elsewhere.
The lady playing Mrs.Kitner went to restaurant,they had a Adam Kitner sandwich on the menu. The boy from the movie works there!
For those who don't know, at 16:09 the news reporter is played by Peter Benchley, the author of the bestselling novel Jaws that the movie is based on. Peter's father is writer/actor Robert Benchley known for his magazine columns and short feature films (one winning an Oscar).
The reason he smashes the radio is that if the Coast Guard came and killed the shark he would lose his $10,000.
15:38 "He's just eatin' _cans_ and... fishes and _license_ plates."
Sharks have been known to eat some _very_ surprising things. I once went to a local museum while they had a temporary special about sharks and one exhibit was of the kinds of things found in their _stomachs._ It included a whole suit of armor.
I can't believe the comments here about why Quint smashed the radio. On the boat, when the shark finally appeared and they were preparing to put the first barrel into it, Quint had to stop to take a radio call from Brody's wife. When the shark attacked the boat at night, knocking over the lantern, Quint had to tell Brody to put the fire out; Brody had jumped on the radio to call for help. Later, when they were trying to corral the shark with the barrels and it was all hands on deck, Brody once again ran to the radio to call for help. Quint finally had enough, lost his temper, and smashed the radio. That's all there is to it and please don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise.
Quint just didn't want any outside help brought in. This was HIS shark and it was HIS job. Nobody else's. Quint had become obsessed with the shark by then.
@@lyndoncmp5751 What was the point of including the scene of Quint responding to the radio call from Brody's wife? It was the setup for the storyline of the radio becoming a major distraction at critical times in the narrative - always involving Brody.
@@michaelbryan1882
The point was to show that Mrs Brody was still worried about her husband, to the level of phoning the coast guard to enquire.
Of far greater relevance were the lines of dialogue about Quint "catching" the shark, citing the taxidermist, showing the shark jaw trophies all over his shack, showing him with rod and reel then the harpoon and barrels, trying to tow the shark back etc.
Quint didn't want Brody calling mayday and bringing in outside help. He wanted the shark for himself.
It had nothing to do with getting annoyed by general radio chit chat. Quint got annoyed that Brody made a mayday call. He didn't want his mission being taken away. The money came into it as well.
that's a good point. I always thought it was (1)money (2) pride (3) afraid of others POACHING his tagged shark, but i never considered that it was also an annoyance.
In addition, they've already set up that Quint is cantankerous, has a temper, and doesnt like having OTHER people ("too many captains on this island") on his boat.
I can totally see that. Myself, I know that I might do the same thing if something keeps irritating me at critical times, when you need to focus.
When i was in medical school, my first days in the emergency room, I was glad they dont let family in the back room, because it's very distracting when you have to do procedures quickly, accurately, and problem solve on the run, while covered in blood or restraining thrashing limbs and to have PEOPLE who are not helping in the background is detrimental to the task at hand.
Excellent point.
22:17 "Why's he so _clumsy,_ right now?"
"He's nervous."
"Oh."
"He- Remember, he hates the wat- He's _afraid_ of the _water."_
There's also the fact that he's not accustomed to working on a deck that's constantly moving under his _feet._
The 24 hours is like three weeks line gets everyone but it's actually true. This takes pace in the northeast were it gets cold. This is a tourist town so some of the businesses are only open for a few months when the tourist come and even the ones that can stay open all year make most of there money during tourist season. Quint smashed the radio because he didn't want to lose or have to share the reward money and he is driven by revenge after the Indianapolis.
You guys were great with this. I've seen this movie like a hundred times and never once wondered why Brody didn't call his wife after finding the girl's remains on the beach, OR ever considered the innocence of the tiger shark.
You guys are the greatest! Thanks!
16:10 -- that's author Peter Benchley as the reporter.
Part of Quint's motivation (why he smashed the radio) you can hear the FIRST time he gets on his boat radio:
"Your husband’s all right, Mrs. Brody, he’s fishin’, he just caught a couple of stripers, we’ll bring ’em in for dinner, we won’t be long, we haven’t seen anything yet, over and out!"
You can tell he's LYING to the people on land OTHERWISE 100 other little boats will come out there and ruin his $10,000. Now that the shark is tied to barrels it'll be easier to find and catch for OTHER people.
Exactly. Quint didn't want to share the 10k with anyone.
Had to subscribe because the two of you are so sensible! Nice to see some young people who are!
funny story: Steven Spielberg never intended to not show the shark until so late into the movie the animatronics were not cooperating all production so the editor and cinematographer used clever angles and shots to make the shark's presence and attacks more suspenseful and sinister this was one of the movies in history that had hair-pulling moments and stress that came to be all-time classics ironic right?
That's become an exaggerated myth. Bruce was never scheduled to be used for the first half of the film. First scheduled use of Bruce was not planned until the second week of July 1974 for the Orca based scenes.
The beach attack scenes were filmed May to early July.
More of the shark WAS supposed to be shown, but for the Orca based scenes and that's where it went wrong, filming went over schedule and over budget. That's why they heavily resorted to the yellow barrels.
The first half of the film actually went more or less according to plan. Besides, Bruce could never have been used in the shallow waters where all the beach scenes were filmed.
This is all in The Jaws Log and Memories From Martha's Vineyard.
Cheers.
$3,000 in 1975 is like nearly $17,000 today. $10,000 is like over $56,000 today.
Quint smashed the radio because, if he hadn't, other shark hunters or support would have arrived and cost him his victory and reward. That was his fear. And, like Captain Ahab in Moby Dick, he was obsessed with killing it.
I'm sure someone mentioned that Spielberg always (from what I remember) has shooting stars.
I was 2yrs old when this came out,even tho scotland is crazy 😂 i wasn't allowed to watch this classic till a few years later haha
I was five. I remember my folks going to the drive-in to see it. But I stayed the weekend at my grandparents' house. I saw it a few years later when it came on either HBO or Cinemax. I was terrified... the first time. 😂
😂 i'm a pisces so it freaked me out big time
30:44//That's just Quint being arrogant and vengeful-- The Indianoplis for him, made it personal. As you saw, it cost him his life. 33:47..No ladies, Sharks have to keep moving to process water through the gills, unlike other fish. If they're in shallow water where they can't move freely, they pass out and "drown" But there 's a rule about game fishing" Don't try to take any fish bigger than your boat!!" For a Great White, you'd need a yacht, with an elephant -killing rifle for back up!
I saw this at a drive in theater when it came out. My cousin drove, since he was old enough to have his drivers license and I got in the trunk to sneak in since I wasn’t big enough to get in (I think the movie was rated R).
26:41 The event Quint is describing, here, really happened. It's the hands-down _worst_ shark attack in human history.
Like most good scary movies, the body count was not excessive. There were 5 people and (presumably) one dog.
1) Chrissy Watkins, the girl at the beginning
2) Alex Kintner, the boy on the raft
2.5) The dog
3) Ben Gardner (the guy in the boat -- one of Hollywood's best-ever jump scares)
4) the man in the row boat in the pond on July 4th
5) Quint
The good news is that great white sharks dont actually likenthe taste of humans... however, they somtines bite, either mistaking humans for prey or just out of curiosity to see if we're edible. After the bite, the human may actually bleed to death. But shark attacks are extremely rare.
This movie is iconic but part 2 was my fav. Great reaction😊
Part 2 is my favorite as well 😊
$10,000 (Quint's price for catching and killing the shark) is worth more than $56,000 today adjusted for inflation.
This is not a shark movie. It's THE shark movie. Best that ever was, and ever will be❤️
The shark in this one gave birth to three little sharks, hence jaws 2,3 and 4. The three other sharks get as big as their mom.
In the attack in the pond, though it wasn't shown, the shark swam right past Cheif Brody's son with that man he attacked still in his mouth.
I was wondering why he ignored the boy
The young boy with the fake shark costume is now police chief of Amity Island.
ryl definitely was the most anxious in this reaction. 🙂
17:39 This was a mistake Sheriff Brody didn't pick up on until it was too late. If a shark is spotted near swimmers and you need them to get out of the water, _don't yell "Shark!"_ Tell them that it has become necessary to close the beach and they'll be _fined_ if they remain in the water. They'll grouse, they'll grumble, but they'll get _out._
If, on the other hand, you yell "Shark!" they'll _panic._ They'll scramble for the beach. They'll run each other over. Some of them will get _hurt._ Some of them might even end up _dead._ Not from the _shark._ From the _panic._
I'm amazed that, in none of these reactions to Jaws that I've watched, has anyone drawn a parallel to the COVID lockdowns. Every reactor I've seen is in disbelief that the townspeople would be so resistent to closing the beaches because they're afraid of how it will affect their livelihoods, when only a couple of years ago, we literally went through exactly the same thing with the COVID lockdowns. The film was too prescient for the audience. Even after life imitates art, people still can't believe it
Fun Fact: The shooting star was real, it was perfect timing.
I sooo enjoyed your reaction! Looking forward to more!
He wanted the $10,000 for himself. That’s why he broke the radio. Calling other ships into the area threatened his money.
I donated my goldfish after this.
A shark constantly needs to move so the weather flows through it’s gills, that what Quinn meant by drowning it. Get into shallow water and trap so it drowns.
Some Moby Dick/Old Man and the Sea vibes with Quint.
Because it's personal now. Him vs the shark. Like Ahab in Moby Dick.
So scary. The first scene you don’t see the shark, or blood, but you know what’s happening to her. This movie made me afraid of swimming in the ocean for a long time. I go out now but not beyond the waves.
Lol. Some sharks can swim in 3 feet of water.
@babyfry4775 me 2 after this masterpiece monster film I don't go in the ocean
Now you won't look at the ocean the same again lol
Quint has survivor's guilt. I've probably seen this movie over 100 times in my life, and I now have concluded that Quint had a death wish. He never intended to return if he couldn't get the shark, straight out of Moby Dick, well, sort of. He destroyed the radio for a couple of reasons, one that I just realized, is that he's having a PTSD episode from being on the USS Indianapolis," when no communication had been sent." The other reason for it is he wants the bounty, aka "the glory," for himself.
Now you got to do Airplane and Sharknado.
Ayyeee...love what you both are doing. You have quite a few movies missing from your movies playlist! I almost missed this one! 🙂 Keep doing good things.
There are 2 movies about the USS INDIANAPOLS; BOTH ARE A MUST SEE!!!!! "MISSION THE SHARK"; AND, 'INDIANAPOLIS: MEN OF COUAGE!'
Around the world, shark attacks are few and far between, in the oceans. No recorded shark attacks in swimming pools. Guess where I'm swimming. By the way, part of the inspiration for this film was a series of shark attacks in a river in New Jersey, sometime in the first half of the twentieth century. I believe the species of shark was a bull shark, since they're the only shark that ventures into fresh water.
Hey ladies! Long time no see. You both look healthy&happy...
Jaws played upon release in my coastal town (StaBarbara, Cali) for the whole summer, and MANY locals were afraid of swimming in the ocean for wks after seeing it!
Hi and thank you. It’s good to see you ❤️ so happy we’ve crossed paths again.
I read that some people (especially kids) were even afraid to get in the bathtub after watching this film. 😂😂😂 I’m not kidding.
You're gonna need a bigger boat
I'm 57 years old. People were happier then, it was, to me, a much better time in most ways. Love you guys and your reactions. Jaws is my favorite film of all time. I first saw it on HBO, sitting on a sofa with my best friend and his sister in 1979. Lots of screams were heard.
I'm 45... while I wasnt around for most of the 70s.... I'm confused as to what "people were happier then" means. I'm nostalgic as the next guy but you're looking at the past with rose tinted glasses. There was a lot of miserable people back then too.. especially 'Nam vets like my dad.
@@DanJackson1977 No I don't think so. There's always been miserable people. There are a lot more now. The economy is wrecked, poor people can't afford to live. Also there wasn't as much hatred and if there was you couldn't just be nasty about it in public like folks can now. Also they weren't pumping the food full of nasty crap to make people fat like they do now. The 70s, 80s, 90s were a better time, IMO.
@@DanJackson1977 I wanted to say thank your dad for his service. My Father fought in Korea
@@DanJackson1977 You were in diapers during the 70's and you want to straighten out people who were adults back then about their experience? Biden vote much? ;))
@@karlmoles6530 Do you mean white people were happier in the 70s?
Absolutely fantastic reaction!🌸🌿🌼🍀
Nice reaction ladies,,
Great Reaction Ladies !!!
Jaws was good it scared a lot of people back in the day, checkout Meg a newer version of Jaws.
Read the book In Harm's Way. Story of the USS Indianapolis.
27:17 "the shark had black eyes, like a dolls eyes, until he bit ya, then they roll back into white" the sharks have a defense, when they bite their live food, a protective membrane slides over their eyes, so the animal or fish they catch don't injure their eyes. great reaction to a classic! 👍🦈
29:12 That was, in fact, a real shooting star that happened during filming... not a special effect
Watch hacksaw ridge it's s great movie
My opinion of the mayor:
''Anyone wearing a suit that hideous should be fed to the shark. Of course, the shark, upon seeing that suit, would vomit and immediately leave the area. Forever.''
Waiting for u girls to react to more. And not more that everyone is reacting to!
Richard Dreyfuss!!! Excellent actor
It is possible to drown a shark. Sharks have primitive gills that require forward motion of water through their mouth and out across the gills. If the crew can drag the shark backwards long enough (or at least prevent forward motion long enough) tgey can driwn him.
This is was the original shark movie. And the best.
He's getting 10.000 dollars to bring the shark in and he don't want anyone else with a bigger boat to help and split the money.
He was more into the trophy. Look at his shack.
Uss indianapolis was pretty much like that..
You can drown a shark bye stopping any forward movement. water will not run over their gills and starve them of oxygen.
First time a. Movie was filmed in the ocean? They (---_-_) wanted to film the Water scene in a studio. Spielberg said no? Something like thhat
the story about the uss indiannapolis was a true story, it was sunk by japanese sub and alot of the crew were eaten by sharks
Quint was one of the 316 survivors out of a crew of 1100+ men
21:16 "You go inside the cage, the cage goes in the water, _you_ go in the water. The _shark's_ in the water."
And the _boat's_ in the water, so what's your point?
24hrs is like 3 weeks. Meaning, 24hrs on a holiday weekend would be like 3 weeks of normal commerce. $$$
10:55 -- that part wasn't in the script. The little boy just started doing stuff and Roy Scheider copied him.
Deep Blue See in my opinion the 2nd best shark movie,you should see it
Fish breath oxygen, just like people. Shallow water has a lot less oxygen in it so a panicking shark may suffocate, effectively drown, in shallows. Realistically, that wouldnt have worked. You'd need to get the fish in a few feet of water and that would have been a long way off and that boats draft would have prevented it.
