Gentle surf. Warm water. People flocked there every summer. It was the perfect feeding ground. Did you know Edit. Trivia 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. They had not seen each other since the original movie shoot.
Goofs The word ORCA on the back of the boat continually changes from shot to shot varying from very rusty letters to shiny letters. Quotes Brody : That's some bad hat, Harry. Crazy credits The three leads are credited using a placement that was popular in the s, making it unclear who receives first credit. Robert Shaw's name is vertically above Roy Scheider's, but Scheider's is to the left.
Richard Dreyfuss, being the least experienced, is last whichever way you read it. Alternate versions The version shown in recent years on television as of includes a lengthier scene where the crazed fishermen hunt sharks to collect Mrs.
Kinter's reward. It shows them crazily firing rifles into the water, much like a shark feeding frenzy. The extended version of Jaws was actually shown on TV back in the s, at least occasionally, in order to achieve a running time of 3 hours including commercial interruptions. The shark hunting frenzy mentioned here, in addition to Matt Hooper telling a story about an ex-lover to Chief Brody on their way to dissect the tiger shark, as well as Quint's badgering of a young musician in a bait and tackle store were all included in many syndicated television broadcasts long before "Deleted Scenes" were ever part of home video packaging.
User reviews 1. Top review. A monster of a movie. I re-watched this film recently and was blown away by the absolute suspense it invoked in me. My daughter whom is 17 and I were both stunned at the quality and realism of a film made in !!
Our TV is 55 inches which showed the movie off to it's full potential and it certainly did not disappoint. That iconic moment of the young lady going skinny dipping in the dark with her male friend is utterly haunting. You know the horror of what's going to happen, the buoy dinging in the background gives you the chills. Steven Spielberg captures pure terror in that scene. Jaws completely absorbs you, as the trio of shark hunters venture off to try to snare the great white you begin to feel part of their adventure.
You fear for them, get excited with them and dread what will happen next. When that fishing line starts spinning your heart starts pumping. This is pure class. The differences in their characters persona's is such that they rub each other up the wrong way, disrespect one another and wind each other up but in the end they are there for each other and develop a bond that I think surprises them all.
As things begin to unravel your heart goes out to the trio and trepidation is the only way forward. They have the fight of their life on their hands, their bravery is boundless. You feel in awe of them. An absolute legend of a movie which I am grateful to have been able to watch and enjoy.

User Reviews Parents say Kids say. Parent of a 5 and 7-year-old Written by wmoon May 31, Best Movie Ever! Report this review. Adult Written by Andrea September 6, Terrorized my 6 year old I feel like a terrible mom. I let my 6 year old watch this and he has seen Jurassic Park and other adult movies so I thought this would be ok.
I had forgotten h Continue reading. Kid, 12 years old June 8, OK for Teens Jaws is an okay movie for kids 13 and up. It has quite a bit of blood but its about the standard amount for a shark attack. There is a lot of language and drink Teen, 14 years old Written by squishymonkey October 16, Ok, I probably shouldnt have seen this movie. What's the story? Is it any good? The pneumatically-powered shark, designed and built by production designer Joe Alves, weighed in at 1. The opening scene took three days to shoot.
Spielberg told the crew not to let Backlinie know when she would be yanked back and forth, so her terrified reaction is genuine. Scheider was instantly enthralled, and asked Spielberg if he could be in the film. Spielberg loved Scheider from his role in The French Connection , and later offered the actor the part. Dreyfuss would later accept the part because he thought he was terrible in the title role of the film The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz a year earlier.
When actors Lee Marvin and Sterling Hayden—the first and second choices to play the grizzled fisherman Quint, respectively—both turned Spielberg down, producers Zanuck and Brown recommended English actor Robert Shaw, whom they had previously worked with on 's The Sting.
Kingsbury helped Shaw with his accent and allegedly told Shaw old sea stories that the actor incorporated into his improvised dialogue as Quint. Spielberg loved the off-the-cuff moment so much that he re-staged it and put it in the movie.
Zanuck demanded that real shark footage be used in the movie, and Spielberg used it sparingly. He hired experts Ron and Valerie Taylor to shoot underwater footage of foot sharks off the coast of Australia.
