Amber: “I’ve never seen or used a phone on the wall like that!” “Ooh, a typewriter!” “Have you ever seen one?” Jay: “Not in person.” GEEZ, I feel sooooo old now!
I know what you mean! I feel like packing a bag and handing myself into a museum as an ancient human artifact
I felt the same way...oh my God ! I am past vintage, I'm an antique!🤣
I sometimes think 65 is not that old, then I remember I was born in 56 and my father in 1908. When he was young he saw a reunion of very old "ram rod straight" civil war soldiers. Yeah, I am old
🤣I'll bring the shovels- bury me now at 58 with the typewriter bewilderment~😖🛌
You had whiteout for typewriters then in the 70's you typewriter tapes that had white out built into them.
Movie is almost 50 years old. People still underestimate it. I actually think it gets better with age because we are so caught up in our digital world and everything is CGI we forgot to appreciate movies like this. That‘s why reaction channels are taking off. People discovering the old stuff was actually pretty awesome.
Spot on
When they started off saying that they couldn’t imagine a movie from the ‘70s being scary, I thought, “Just you wait!” Then they couldn’t catch their breaths after the very first scene! Spielberg strikes again.
Also how much of an impact a film can make when the main star doesn't work for most of the film
And not showing Bruce until the last 3rd of the movie really ratchets up the suspense.
@@lawrencejoy2256 the days when directors understood suspense. Those were the days
Fun story about the kid the shark ate at the beach! About 20 odd years later the woman that plays his mom in the film went into a fast food place and just happened to see a picture taken from Jaws of the little boy that got eaten! She commented "Why do you have that picture up? I played his Mom in the film Jaws!" The waitress got the manager who happened to be the little boy in the film they hadn't seen each other since making Jaws!
Quint and Hooper hated each other
The speech delivered by Quint about the USS Indianapolis tragedy is a true story, an actual historical fact. It really happened! His story relating the incident is one of the most epic monologues in cinematic history, and is the key to his character and his obsession with killing sharks. He smashed the radio not only because he was determined to personally secure the bounty and reward for killing the shark, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge (or perhaps redemption) for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by destroying the man-eating shark himself…
Yes it is true, though the amount of sailers killed is insanely exaggerated. The best estimate was sharks killed between 50 and 150, not the 800 or so intimated in the movie. ( The rest were killed from dehydration, exposure, wounds when the ship went down, ect. )
But they were eaten after they died
He had the date wrong
@@SergioArellano-yd7ik no not all.
4:42 - Jay: "this is going to make me not want to go back and swim in the ocean..." - the exact phrase uttered by an entire generation when this movie hit theaters.
And then Jaws 2 came. " Just when you thought you could go back into the ocean..."
And then #3 comes out and I swore to never go to sea world 😆
And are still saying!! 🦈
How about after seeing the "original" Psycho" movie with actor Anthony Perkins? Who wanted to take a shower at home alone after that one!!! But that is a really really older movie, more of my generation, I'm in my 70's.
Heck yes, Jaws destroyed beach tourism for an entire generation. Lol
Everything about this movie was iconic. Quint’s “Indianapolis” speech, that haunting score, the iconic “we’re gonna need a bigger boat” quote. Still holds up today.
"That's some bad hat Harry" which led to the creation of Bad Hat Harry productions makers of The Usual Suspects and House.
You're not we're
actually he never said “we’re gonna need a bigger boat”. The quote is “your gonna need a bigger boat”. Welcome to the Mandela Effect.
Also, Quint's story about the Indianapolis was originally suppose to be a prequel (Jaws II), but Spielberg was committed to Star Wars at the time and fell through.
The Indianapolis speech allows the watcher/listener to envision the terror
This is one of those few movies where you can know exactly what happens, and what the ending is, because you've watched it many times, and you're STILL on the edge of your seat when you rewatch it. THAT is a sign of a well made movie.
This is the best Shark movie ever made. No movie about sharks has been as good as this movie. Not even the sequels were as good. The Shallows was a pretty good Shark movie.
Great description
I agree I still get scared when the shark comes out of the water. Lol
I liked Deep Blue Sea
I'd say it goes
jaws
Meg
Deep blue sea
The reef
Quint’s monologue about the USS Indianapolis was an actual historical event. Robert Shaw’s delivery makes for one of the most impactful scenes in film history! This will always be one of my favorite films!
That scene was so gripping that I remember being horrified when I found out it was a true story.
It was in fact as true to fact as fact itself!! My dad was in the Philippines and later in Japan during WWII. I won't go into what little I know that he witnessed, there or in Japan itself. Not here. I will say that he was in the Philippines RIGHT after Bataan (a day or two) and what he observed, bothered him till his death.
I will say that I do NOT agree with things, behaviors by soldiers, that I've seen in documentaries during WWII AND SINCE THEN! By either combatant!! Women are not to be raped! Girls (innocents) are not to be subjected to ANY degredation!!! Neither are males or boys!!! Howb any government can condone or try to cover up what their soldiers did during a battle or a war is beyond decen
Originally in the script it was only supposed to be a blip of reference to the USS Indianapolis, Robert Shaw re-wrote the entire thing, sitting on the beach between scenes. It's one of the all-time greatest monologue's....James Earl Jones in Field of Dreams is another. Goosebumps on both every time.
"Fun" fact, they ran through Robert Shaw's monologue several times but he kept messing up. Until he had a few drinks. Then he did the entire thing in one take. Looking at his eyes you can tell he's had a few. It has always broke my heart that Shaw passed away before he could see the impact that this movie had on the public.
Only wish a little of Quint's " Indianapolis" speech was left in this reaction because it's one of the most acclaimed monologues in cinema history. And, yeah, people still get in boats like the Orca (both for pleasure boating and commercial fishing).
The USS Indianapolis story is a true story.
We have a gravestone in the city cemetery of a sailor from the USS Indianapolis, no body of course.
it's "famous", not infamous. It's dialogue, not a bank robber. Lol
Possibly the best scene in the whole movie.
It is one of the great monologues and very well-known. One that isn't well-known is Jean Claude Van Damme's monologue in JCVD. I never knew the guy had it in him.....
You know what's a LOT of fun? Knowing when the "moments" are coming and watching you two freak out when they happen! Classic. Love it! Thanks!
My thoughts exactly!
I also love how they make it seem like it's a deep ocean, but Martha's Vineyard is really just very shallow.
AT the theater on the huge screen it was so REAL I was14 in 1975
"I underestimated this movie." Truer words have rarely been spoken.
"24 hours? What's that gonna do? Just make the shark skip a meal?" is one of the best reaction lines I've heard in a while. XD
For me it's tied with:
Is that a Megaladon?
It's a Take Me Home!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yeah, intermittent fasting ;)
When this movie came out in 1975, going to the theater was still an "event". You couldn't buy your ticket beforehand and the lines to get in could be wrapped around the block. But you were with your friends, so the wait didn't matter. When you took your seat with your popcorn and soda,you could feel the excitement. The whole audience participated in the film. We all screamed at the same places and cheered when the shark met his end. The music can still get to me to this day and you will still hear the phrase, "You're going to need a bigger boat." to this day. Good choice, guys! Thanks for the memories!
What about, "smile you son of a bitch"!, grand finale
What you mean the wait didn't matter? Nobody wants to stay in line whether it's with friends or not
@Penelope Sighs Not all audiences appreciated the limit. Many want the freedom to choose where they want to consume the content.
Before the pandemic, moviegoing was still an event especially since theaters were starting to coordinate their release dates worldwide. Back during the 70s, different states could have different releases.
Those were the days my friend.
This is arguably the most perfect movie ever made. It is also the first "blockbuster" movie, where everyone flocked to the theaters to see one movie over the summer.
"24 hours! What's that going to do? Just make the shark skip a meal?" Amber had me bursting out laughing.
She's hilarious!
LOL!! Amber: "I'm wondering how scared I'm gonna get?" First scene Amber is freakin' out 🤣😂
The story Quint told about the sailors on the USS Indianapolis, is a true story.
The effects in this movie still hold up after all this time! The music alone still triggers that visceral fear response. In 1975 people I knew actually went to therapy because of this movie!
i may go to therapy for annoying reaction videos :P
But those were Tiger Sharks not Great Whites.
@@WoodDragon64 Does it really matter what kind of shark just chewed your leg off???
@@ffjsb If you are getting your leg chewed off then no, it doesn't matter.
Fun fact, Robert Shaw was hammered when he told the story, you can tell by looking at his eyes. He was such a great actor.
When the movie ended, I remember everyone walking out of the theater, totally silent and absolutely exhausted, and the anti-shark fear was very real for a couple years afterwards!
I was around 8 and I saw scared to sit on the toilet after this movie, everyone in my family laughed at how I thought a giant shark could bite my butt on the toilet. The shark fear was SUPER REAL!
@@robertbendinelli9843 As a kid watching Jaws I was afraid of the same thing.!
Peter Benchley eventually regretted ever having written that book. It did so much harm to sharks as a species in people's eyes.
@@egrffin8534 I was six when I came out sitting in the first or second row of a theatre with my 10 yr old brother he screamed like a girl when the head popped out I laughed at him.
It's when I switched from baths to showers. I'm not getting in that water!
One of the most famous lines from older movies, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
I was 9 when this movie came out living in northern Wisconsin, over 15,000 lakes. I wouldn’t go swimming and was even afraid of taking a bath till I was 12! 100% fact. This movie defined my psyche!!
"You're gonna need a bigger boat" has become such an iconic line that's entered the culture and in fact Roy Scheider improvised it and they kept it in!
Funny. My go-to line from this movie is "wanna get drunk and fool around?"
This film was released in June of 1975, but had been ready to go for months. The reason it was held back was to time it with the start of summer--which ratcheted up the freak-out factor and made everyone want to see it.
Richard Dreyfus was in SO many big movies at that time. HIGHLY recommend “Stand by Me.” Also can’t go wrong with “Mr Holland’s Opus.”
Hardly! The only other big film he was in was 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' two years after this. As for 'Stand By Me', he has about 5 lines in it bookended.
@@rnw2739 Richard Dreyfus was a prolific actor for three decades and was a favorite of Spielberg. He’s an Academy Award and Golden Globe winner. Of course very few movies are Jaws “big.” Close Encounters was huge. But Dreyfus was in many of the era’s widely popular and enduring movies-American Graffiti, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, The Goodbye Girl, What About Bob?, Tin Men, Always, Once Around, Nuts and the aforementioned Mr. Holland’s Opus. These may or may not be your cup of tea, but Richard Dreyfus was one of the most recognizable and consistent actors for a helluva long time.
@juliedaggett5880 Of all his films apart from 'Jaws', I would cite 'The Goodbye Girl' and 'Always' as exceptionally good ones. Most of his films are forgettable. He obviously wasn't that great at choosing his work - he turned down 'Jaws' don't forget, on first offering from Spielberg!
@@rnw2739I call B.S. on that! Few of his films are forgettable & nearly all of the "forgettable" ones have been in his later years.
@GjpgrD Bollocks. His most notable films were all early ones, Stand by Me was nothing more than a cameo and his legacy will eternally be 'Jaws' - despite being the least memorable of the trio.
We saw this in a movie theater when it first came out. The death of the girl at the start of the film almost made us walk out, it was so traumatic.
I was sitting in the movie theatre holding a full bucket of popcorn on my lap when that head popped up out of the water, my body jumped up… my hands flew up to cover my eyes…the bucket of popcorn I’d been holding flew up into the air and popcorn rained down on everyone sitting near me. I will never forget that scene!!!
Funny stuff. Looks like our reactors had the same response.
I about busted my head.. me and neighbor both leaned hard and hit heads!!!
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat”, one of the most famous quotes in cinema history.
1000% agree with that comment!
The end too, "smile you son on a bitch"!, lol
@@60sbaby456 That was a great line too!
I was born and raised on Martha’s Vineyard, the island in Massachusetts where the movie was filmed. It’s always a fun little nostalgia trip for me to watch this movie and see all the towns and beaches from my childhood
My wife watched this for the very first time a few nights ago. I didn't know how she'd react to it, but surprisingly she was into it! By the time Brody blew "Bruce's" head off she was yelling: "Just keep shooting!" A great movie that still holds up. ❤👍
Three things: I didn’t go swimming for years after watching Jaws. Wouldn’t even swim in the pool bc I was afraid a shark might come out of the drain! Second, the story of the USS Indianapolis was a true story. That was a great touch Spielberg threw into the movie. Lastly, look closely towards the end of the film. There’s at least two meteors caught flying through the sky. Great pick as always. Can’t wait to see more!🔥🤙
Not a problem for me I can't swim so I avoid the water over my chest high.
Every Steven Spielberg movie has at least one shooting star 🙂
About the Indianapolis, bingo, and when they ask the reason why he’s (Quint) crazy at the end? Oh, idk, 30 years of being a sea captain hunting sharks (jawbones everywhere in his cabin), drinking his own homemade rotgut, AND being a sailor on the Indianapolis, the better question is how would he NOT be ‘certifiable’.
Oh course, Quint is also part Capt Ahab from Moby Dick too.
I was too young to see Jaws in the theater, but my sister went. She wouldn't go in the water for 5 DECADES after watching Jaws. Not even in the crystal blue water of the Caribbean where you can see to the bottom. I was so glad that my mom wouldn't let me go to that movie, especially since we live next to Virginia Beach! And yes, we get sharks there.
@@Mark_McC Good point!
I can understand why you cut out Quint's story for the reaction, but that is actually a very pertinent story, both historically and for insight into why he's so obsessed with killing sharks.
In case you weren't paying attention, it's a true story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis. They delivered the first Atomic bomb to Tinian Island, under the utmost secrecy. As they were returning, the ship was torpedoed by a Japanese warship. Since their mission was so secret, they weren't reported missing for several days... by which time hundreds of the crew has been eaten by sharks.
So Quint had spent days floating in the water, listening to the screams of his shipmates as they were eaten by sharks... 😱
what's really amazing about the story is the sharks are only one aspect of the nightmare they went through. What he didn't mention is some of them were burnt or injured in the sinking, some got doused in engine oil or gas, the only protection from the sun they had is what they could contrive from what they were wearing and the debris they randomly found, they had next to no food or fresh water, and add to all that nonstop exposure to salt water
but in reality they were not great white sharks. mainly black tip and/or white tip
Cutting out scenes doesn’t promote a reaction video.
The U S S Indianapolis story is my all time favorite movie scene, such mood in that
There is a movie on Netflix right now called U.S.S. Indianapolis: Men of Courage. It depicts what it was like for the men of that ill-fated ship. Very good movie, but some of the shark scenes were unrealistic.
Fun fact. The guy who played the news reporter was Peter Benchley. The author of the book.
Alex Kintner was the boy who was attacked out on his raft -- Several decades after the filming of Jaws (1975), 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.
There's a similar story above about them meeting at a McDonald's where he was the manager. Either way, it's a great story of them connecting again.
I don't think anyone was really ready for this. Spielberg made us avoid sharks and look for aliens. I love you guys, love your channels. Keep up the good work.
I just wanted to see what you would say when he delivered the classic line..”you’re gonna need a bigger boat”
And check every house for potential raptor entry points.
Yes if spielburg taught us anything: et = good sharks = bad!!!
This film is a true masterpiece Jaws directed by Steven Spielberg starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and the iconic music score by John Williams. The line "You're gonna need a bigger boat" was ranked in the list of the American Film Institute (AFI) 100 Years....100 Movie Quotes. Thank you guys great reaction excellent😊👍👍👍
Spielberg directed "Duel" for television before he made Jaws.
Same plot, kinda.
I think the "You're gonna need a bigger boat" comment was an ad lib.
Richard Dreyfuss was actually a very smart guy in person. He was kissable. lol
Watch the movie "Always". with he and Holly Hunter. It's a date night movie.
Great reactions!
Peter Benchley, who has a cameo in the movie as the newsman on the beach, wrote the slim little novel titled Jaws that was a big hit with readers in 1974. Like the works of Michael Crichton, it was perfect for screen adaptation and Spielberg did a fantastic job! This is a real classic and I enjoyed seeing you experience it like we all did back then for the first time.
Now let me save you some precious hours of your future - this was the last great Jaws film. The success of the first movie had execs wanting more money and sequels were spawned, each one worse than the one before. And while this original Jaws is considered one of the best movies ever made, they milked the “franchise” they created until the final one is a joke and considered one of the worst movies of all time. Don’t bother watching any more Jaws flicks and keep the magic of this first great film in your hearts!
Jaws 2 wasn't terrible. Obviously not as good as the original, but it had some genuinely frightening scenes and did a good job of building tension. But yeah, the 3rd and 4th movies were complete garbage.
I had a friend who's mother was pregnant with them when this movie came out. She was at the drive-in seeing it when she went into labor. She refused to leave until the movie was over because she wanted to know how it ended
47 years after it came out, this movie still packs a wallop. And everything about the production is amazing: photography, effects, writing, acting, and of course, the score. I saw this in the theater when I was 13 years old and people were screaming like the shark was in the damn lobby.
Wow, I was also 13 when this movie came-out---and my name is also Elaine!! How wild is that? HOWDY!!
@@catwhisperer9489 😂
🤣🤣True! And I had nightmares nowhere near the beach~
I heard that there were people who were even afraid to take a bath after seeing this film. 😂😂😂 How ridiculous is that?
@@MsAppassionata That would be me. Hell I was nervous to even use the TOILET for fear Jaws would come swimming up the pipe and eat my ass. (but then again, I was SEVEN and shouldn't have been allowed to watch it in the first place....)
Spielbergs 'close encounters" Has to be on the list same actor in that one. He was brilliant.. Never evee looked at a bowl of mash potatoes the same way.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the supper...
Fun fact: the reporter doing the news story on the Fourth of July was played by Peter Benchley, who is the author of the novel Jaws, the book that started it all.
"This is a very ill-behaved shark."
Best line in the video! :)
One of the best movies ever made.
It was pretty dang good!
I first saw this at the theater when I was a child, it scared me enough to avoid water.
100% agreed!
Not even 10 mins and watching you two is just priceless!!! Just wait, you’ll both never forget the music when the shark is coming lol
Quint is showing signs of PTSD from his Japan shark experience. Nobody caught that.
That floating head jumpscare is the greatest jumpscare in history. Gets EVERYBODY lol.
This is the first movie reaction I have watched from you guys. I always enjoy watching your music reactions.
As I started watching this, I just thought to myself "I like these people". It probably sounds odd because it's "just the internet" but seeing you two is like seeing friends. It's really comforting to see how well you two get along.
That really makes us feel good. Thanks for that, and for being here with us.
@@robsquadmoviereactions If E.T. & Close Encounters of the Third Kind aren't on the list, please add them. Also, E! True Hollywood Story covered behind the scenes of Jaws. It's actually rather funny.
Yeah - the barrel allows the men on the boat to track where the shark is - but they also prevent the shark from diving deeper. The bigger and stronger the shark, the more barrels it takes.
Remember...no CGI.... all real effects, models etc. Simply amazing stuff.
This movie is almost 50 years old, and has made generations of people afraid of the water. Thanks to David Attenborough, I learned that sharks are okay, part of the ocean, and nowhere near the threat that this movie made it out to be.
But I'm still scared of open water because of this movie. I love sharks now. From a distance
That jump scare where you see the shark through the hole in the boat was REEEEEEEEEEALY scary in the theater when I saw this in its first run. The entire theater reacted just like Amber did.
I could imagine everyone screamed also 😂
@@robsquadmoviereactions When the head dropped into view in the boat, my friend Diane somehow grabbed my thumb and bit it. Everyone in the theater was screaming!
The First Summer Blockbuster.
Before this movie, film studios treated the summer film season like a time to show B-movies, re-releases, and indie-type films.
Jaws changed all that.
It's a masterpiece in letting you "imagine" what you're scared of, rather than actually seeing it fully.
Great reaction!
It was also a time for "summer love/sex movies". Uh,,, kids have s?x child developed, UH OH!! And in a very few cases, it's a love child and everyone is happy. BUT in a number of cases it was just sex and no one was happy. Different era different morals. Different ideas of the outcome.
This movie caused such an attendance drop to the beach the government had to issue public announcements that the benches were safe and even had shark alerts. It was hilarious and awesome. We had the whole beach to ourselves. Also my mother made me learn to type on the typewriter without mistakes. She was a notary and got tired of typing. The great thing about this movie, you have to use your imagination to picture the monster until the end. That really had not been done. Oceanographers still don't know that much about sharks because most of their life is spent deep in the oceans, and the scientists still cannot go that low. I mean we know more about the moon than what is underwater
Amity Island is fictional, kids. This was filmed on Martha's Vineyard, an island off the southern coast of Massachusetts. In the summer of '79, my sister & my boyfriend at the time & I went down on the ferry in the film, rented bikes & rode all over the island to see the locations. I have a bunch of great pictures from my little Kodachrome pocket camera.
When Amber said, "I'm only going in (the ocean) up to my ankles." Then at the end, "I'm never going to get in the water again!" That is exactly how everyone in North America felt that year! I was a kid at the time, but recall not wanting to go to a beach ever again. Luckily it faded away in time. But, that movie was so powerful like none other. Great watching it with you.
Not just North America. I'm from the UK and we were all terrified too. My friends and siblings were all kids when we saw it and we all had the same fear, individually, that Jaws was going to come up out of the toilet and bite our bums 😂😂😂 For some reason I also thought he would burst through my kitchen floor because I knew the water pipes ran under it and sharks swim in water🤣
They tapped into that fear of the water when marketing the sequel. Jaws 2 came down to one simple line: "Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water."
Both Dreyfus and Spielberg, said they will NOT swim in the ocean, even to this day. Dreyfus said "we are MARKED men".
I watched it on a bootleg video, then my dad took me to the beach the next weekend! In the Mediterranean. Good thing we didn’t realize it was a great white breeding area at that point...
Meanwhile, my buds and I were back to swimming in the same waters we harvested shark from the next day!
Jaws (1975): "You'll never go in the water again." This movie made everyone think of sharks differently. It also made them think twice about going swimming in the sea, which is precisely why this tagline earned a spot on our list.
I’m 18 and my parents showed me this movie and many other iconic “oldies” (Back to The Future 1-3, Rocky, Its a wonderful life, The Godfather 1-3, ect) and out of them all, Jaws made me rethink everything about the ocean and has me in fear to this day. It genuinely changed how I look at the ocean and now I have a genuine petrifying fear of deep water. Crazy what an amazing movie can do
You two are killing me…. First the talk of using a phone with a cord then a typewriter…. Making me feel old!
48 years in and Mr. Spielberg's ability to move this movie's audience like puppets on strings is clearly on the screen.
John William’s iconic score won a well deserved Academy Award .
This was the scariest movie to me when it came out . I still think about sharks every time I go swimming in the ocean 😂 Amber your so tender hearted , Jay your so funny 😆 hugs to both of you🙋🏻♀️
Oceans...don't forget bull sharks can live in fresh water.
@@lawrencejoy2256 Oh I know there’s more than great white in the water that would take a bite out of you🤫
@@jeanstrickland2445 my in-laws were living in Italy when it came out...said the marketing maybe scared people more than the movie...
The age of a movie certainly doesn’t determine quality. Jaws is so well known to this day because it’s a wonderful example of quality filmmaking.
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!
Richard Dreyfus is only young in this movie, but he became a favourite of mine from the beginning of his career.
Check out his movie Mr Hollands opus
**me snickering when Amber started the reaction by saying that she didn’t think a movie from the ‘70’s could have good enough special effects to scare her!
I have 2 words for you (ha ha):
Steven Spielberg.
Great reaction! Thanks for doing it!
Two more words to add, John Williams. His music for this film is so iconic. And for the next 50 years remains iconic and memorable.
@@blacksheep_edge1412 YES!!!
I love watching young people react to Jaws, The Exorcist, Alien and The Thing for exactly those reasons, then see them get blown away by it all. The art of practical effects is not something they have experience with. Everything today is cgi.
well what mostly scares people are sound effects anyway
@@blacksheep_edge1412 Two notes... and you have a villain.
We ALL know those two notes.
I was going thru Marine Recon training at Camp Lejeune NC when this came out, we were jumping from helicopters into the ocean and doing night swims from rubber boats. Getting bumped by something 1/2 mile from shore was like an instant heart attack. Most terrifying events of my life.
The beaches on the east coast are full of ancient megalodon teeth, I've found them 5x5 inches before while jogging down the shore.
Favourite line, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat”…..
Robert Shaw, when he wasn't drunk, gave a masterful performance.
one of the greatest movie quotes ever: "you're gonna need a bigger boat ". The barrel is full of air - supposed to limit the sharks' ability to go under water and stay under water which will tire out the shark and make it easier to catch/kill the shark.
This movie traumatized a whole generation that grew up in the 70's. I was 7 when my dad took me and the neighbor to see it. Thanks dad!
A few notes that may explain a few things for Jaws newbies (I'm a veteran, first saw it at 13 when it opened in theaters in 1975):
- The purpose of the barrels, which are sealed shut and full of air, is not just to track the shark but to keep him near the surface. It takes a lot of strength to go underwater and stay underwater when attached to something full of air, so the shark tires out and comes to the surface. Then they know where he is. It takes enormous strength to go under with two barrels attached to you, and with three it's unprecedented - that's why Quint, the old veteran, says, "He can't go under with three in him!" But the shark does, making it clear this shark is bigger and stronger than any Quint has ever seen.
- The reason Quint broke the radio is that he was determined to get the shark on his own, without the help of other fishermen or bigger boats. He despised sharks after his USS Indianapolis experience and this battle was personal to him. Breaking the radio was colossally stupid but Quint's hatred of sharks made this more important to him than his own life - and the lives of his two passengers.
Watching your reaction to this movie was a blast - and they were exactly the same as mine were when I first saw it almost 50 years ago!
"You're going to need a bigger boat" is one of Hollywood's most iconic lines, And I've read that Roy Scheider ad-libed it on the spot.
I was 14 when this came out. To this day, I've never been in a theater where everyone screamed in unison multiple times during the film. Terrifying, but so much fun and such a great movie.
“Jaws” was filmed in Massachusetts on an island called Martha’s Vineyard. Also, the beer that Quint drinks and crushes the can is a New England regional beer called Narragansett. They have a brewery in Providence, RI. One of their advertising campaigns features Quint with the slogan, “Honor the Man! Crush the Can!” If you go on the brewery that have all sorts of Quint related merchandise.
Many of the locations seen in the movie are still there today on Martha's Vineyard....they even have 'Jaws Fest' on the anniversary every year on date of the release of the film, June 20th (and many people, including many of the extras that were in the film - that still live there on the island - do tend to show up from time to time).
This is a fun tour of filming locations. ua-cam.com/video/qwEperBZnJM/v-deo.html
I used to love going to Martha’s Vineyard in the summers with my family when I was young. They have the best fried clams there that I’ve ever tasted in my entire life. So big and meaty. Same in P town. Yum. I used to love going to Mad Martha’s ice cream shop while I was in the Vineyard. Great memories.
" here's to Swimmin , with bow legged Women. "
I’m from Pawtucket right on Providence line.
The storytelling is so great in this movie that you almost don’t even realize that you haven’t seen the shark through most of the first half.
Jaws was the first summer blockbuster. It scared people off the beach and into the movie theater
I saw this at the drive-in when I was a kid. The 2 boys playing the shark break were brothers in real life. The younger brother is now the sheriff in the town where they filmed it. The Indianapolis that Quint was on was a cruiser in WWII that took the A-Bombs to their launch points. It was sunk, and sharks tore apart the survivors.
it was a battleship
@@michaelmulherin9952 It was a heavy cruiser. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Indianapolis_(CA-35)
Fun fact: The scene where the boy's mother slaps the Chief? The actress had never done a stage slap before, so she really smacked him. Scheider stayed in character and the take made the final cut.
So many great moments throughout the movie but one of my favorites that didn’t need to be in the movie but it adds so much to it is the scene where the son is copying Brodie and he notices and started playing back with him. Just a really wonderful human moment.
The barrel is full of just air. So when the shark tries to submerge it takes more strength to dive and tires the shark faster.
Loving these 70/80s movie reviews.
Thank you!
Yes!!!
@@robsquadmoviereactions to this day,those few notes send a chill up my spine!
I saw this in the theater with my dad in 1975 and I’ll never forget how scared I was when the guys head popped out of the hole in the boat! It still gets me to this day. I really got a kick out of watching you both jump when you saw it for the first time!
same here, i was 7
So glad you enjoyed this, such an incredible piece of movie history... remarkably the "old skipper" Quint actor was Robert Shaw, aged just 47 during filming.
Amber: “Are you crazy, this is a very ill-behaved shark.” OMG, I was laughing so hard!
Well done. This movie scared the sh*t out of all us in the day. Imagine watching this on the big screen in a dark movie theater. I had been scuba diving for years when I first saw this, and it took me years afterward to do it again. Jaws was the movie for which the term “Summer Blockbuster“ was coined.
The "jump scare" is masterfully done and I really appreciated both your reactions! When my parents originally watched this in the theatre, my mom screamed and involuntarily squeezed her large Coke, dousing the stranger sitting next to her with soda.
that look in Quint's eyes at 28:07 just says it all. A dead on stare that reads terror, adrenaline rush and awe, all rolled up in one, at the size of the fish coming straight at them.
Some great Lines in movies. Roy Scheider, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat”, Arnold Schwarzenegger, “i’ll be back. Jack Nicholson “Here’s Johnny”. Robert De Niro “You talking to me, you talking to me”. Humphrey Bogart “Here’s looking at you kid”, also, “This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”. And of course Lauren Bacall “You know how to whistle don’t you Steve, just put your lips together and blow”. many many more.
No way a movie this old can be scary and jumpy?.... clearly "The Exorcist" has to be next. Great reaction and a great movie. I'm a big fan of Jaws. Definitely check out The Exorcist next....still horrifying to this day.
Noooooooo!! Do not watch the E movie! I promise it will haunt you forever. It haunted me forever! My cray big sister took me to see it at 11!! 11 years old and I slept with Mom until the 9th grade because of it. Couldn't sleep in the dark until the late 90s! Nnooooooo! Plus that govener in Jaws is like Abbott in Texas opening up everything waaayyyyy to early. Saying it's ok. Go swimming! Lol
Oh, I could never get through the Exorcist. Not even to this day. It was too much for me, and I always liked scary movies.
It still makes me jump and I’ve seen it several times!
I watched the Exorcist, alone, when I was 12 year old......I was traumatized for the rest of my childhood!
I could easily watch any of the usual "monster" movies, but anything devil related freaked me the f*ck out! 😝Satanic movies still freak me out.
"The power of Christ compels you...."!!!! 👹
Poltergeist is a great entry level horror film. I'd recommend that one before The Exorcist. Rosemary's Baby is another or all of Alfred Hitchcock's entire catalog for mastery in suspense.
The music was composed by the absolute legend John Williams! Star Wars, Superman, ET, Raiders, close encounters!!! The man was a genius
Raiders of the Lost Ark!! Another classic they should react to!!
IS a genius - still IS a genius. It will be a _staggering_ loss to the movies when he passes away (he's currently 90 years old).
BTW, that famous line in this movie @ 8:12 "That's some bad hat Harry", was adopted by a film production company as their name, called, "Bad Hat Harry" Productions.
Bad Hat Harry Productions has produced many great and iconic titles such as:
"The X-Men", "X-2", "X-Men:Apocalypse", "X-Men: Days of Future's Past", "The Usual Suspects", "Apt Pupil", "Jack The Giant Slayer", and "Dark Phoenix".
By the way, I highly suggest that you guys react to "The Usual Suspects", and "Apt Pupil". These are two amazing films!!! "Jack the Giant Slayer" is also a very well done telling of the historic Jack and the Beanstalk story, and really fun to watch.
I've seen Jaws about 3000 times It is my all- time favorite movies.
Robert Shaws monologue, and his amazing manner and acting skill, was the best movie moment I’ve ever seen. And there are many great movie moments. I always remember every word of this one. He was AN ACTOR.
It felt kinda disrespectful that they skipped right over it without any mention, especially as the Indianapolis is a true story
@@yesmisskitten Except for the sharks killing so many men, that part is an exaggeration.
No one really knows how many of the bodies the sharks ate were already dead. . The people there give high numbers, marine biologists often like to play the numbers down to not demonize the animals, truth is probably somewhere in the middle
He was apparently drunk during one of the takes of that monologue, too. Imagine being THAT good of an actor that that’s how good you are, drunk!
@@blacksheep_edge1412 ......lol😂.... how so????
"Only 24 hours? What s that gonna do? Make him skip a meal?" Ha! That was great Amber!
"What good is that goin' to do? Just make the shark skip a meal!!!??"....Amber, LMAO when you said that.
The music from this movie was iconic. John Williams wrote the music. He is known for Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, E.T., Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan and three Harry Potter instalments.
Lost Boys is another cool movie. You'll recognise a lot of the music in it... ❤️
The split second where you see the shark's fin for the first time. Absolutely masterful filmmaking.
That head popping out is the best jump scare in film history!
"You're going to need a Bigger Boat!!" One of the most iconic lines in movies, ever!
And that “deer in the headlights” look on Roy Scheider’s face!
Some fun facts;
- A large part of the terror that this film invokes stems from the fact that you hardly see the actual shark throughout the movie. This is attributed largely to the fact that there were major problems with the mechanical shark (nicknamed 'Bruce' (also the name of Steven Spielberg's lawyer...)). The audience's imagination filled in the blanks, and made the movie that much scarier... A related note; Alfred Hitchcock once stared in an interview that if you show a scene of two people sitting at a table, talking about baseball, and an explosion happens, the audience will jump.Show the same scene, but start with showing a bomb with a timer counting down, and pull back to show the two people talking about baseball. The audience will spend the next few minutes yelling at the screen "Don't talk about baseball! There's a bomb under the table!" You, as the audience, being aware of a danger the characters are not heightens the suspense.
- As others have pointed out, this movie is considered to be the original 'Summer Blockbuster'. It is not Steven Spielbergs' first movie, though...That distinction belongs to 'Duel' (1971), or possibly a segment of the pilot episode of 'Rod Serling's Night Gallery' (1969).
- As spectacular as it was, it has been proven (via 'Mythbusters') that a bullet to a scuba tank will not cause it to explode (Still, a satisfying ending, though...).
Obligatory Movie recommendations (because, why not?);
- Flash Gordon (1980) - If for no other reason, the soundtrack was provided by Queen...
- That Thing You Do! (1996) - You may not have heard of this one, but trust me, I believe you'll like it...
Hitchcock used that plotline of a bomb that the audience knew about but the characters did not to great effect in his 1936 film Sabotage.
I was born and raised in Tampa. Clearwater Beach is a quick trip for us natives. (There's nothing like the warm Gulf waters and beautiful white sand) I spent practically my whole youth in those clear, beautiful waters. After I saw Jaws, I didn't go in the water for 6 years.
When the shark was pulling multiple barrels under you were talking about Quint being confident, at that point he was very quickly losing that confidence. Those barrels are very bouyant, so they're constantly exerting an upward force trying to float to the surface. The fact that this thing could take 3 barrels under *shouldn't* happen, but it did, and Quint is now completely out of his element. He thought he was just going to catch another shark, but this thing is different.
My gf and I saw Jaws in the theater again about 4 or 5 years ago and we were so amazed at how well it still holds up! I hadn't seen it in forever and I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was. A real classic!
No way. We saw it too in the theater two years ago. I've seen it dozens of times and have only my second time in the theater. First time was when I was eight when it came out.
