CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The crew gets their first face-to-face look at the massive shark.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on Peter Benchley's best-selling novel, Steven Spielberg's 1975 shark saga set the standard for the New Hollywood popcorn blockbuster while frightening millions of moviegoers out of the water. One early summer night on fictional Atlantic resort Amity Island, Chrissie decides to take a moonlight skinny dip while her friends party on the beach. Yanked suddenly below the ocean surface, she never returns. When pieces of her wash ashore, Police Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) suspects the worst, but Mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton), mindful of the lucrative tourist trade and the approaching July 4th holiday, refuses to put the island on a business-killing shark alert. After the shark dines on a few more victims, the Mayor orders the local fishermen to catch the culprit. Satisfied with the shark they find, the greedy Mayor reopens the beaches, despite the warning from visiting ichthyologist Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) that the attacks were probably caused by a far more formidable Great White. One more fatality later, Brody and Hooper join forces with flinty old salt Quint (Robert Shaw), the only local fisherman willing to take on a Great White--especially since the price is right. The three ride off on Quint's boat "The Orca," soon coming face to teeth with the enemy.

This movie is at the top of the "DO NOT TRY TO REMAKE THIS" list.
True.
So is Poltergeist!
Oh wait..
Every shark movie including the sequels have been a copy and paste of Jaws they range from horrible to meh
Indeed, right next to Casablanca and the third man.
Ironically, the amount of sequels, parodies and ripoffs in existence kept this gem to be remakeable, or so I pray
Fun fact:
When they test screened this in Dallas, the audience was so shocked by the sharks sudden appearance that they were still screaming when Brody says “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” Spielberg didn’t want anyone to miss out on that line so they extended the scene slightly from when the shark pops out to when Brody talks to Quint. Just long enough for the audience to calm down.
Yup. I was there. When this came out in 75 you couldn't hear Roy's famous line the noise in the theater was so loud.
"You're gonna need a bigger pause."
@@roquefortfiles not real my gosh uh
Hello
@@alidemir7944 sorry what?
1:10 That shot where the shark swims past the boat just looks incredible. This is 1975 remember.... Amazing film making and effects
So sad that nowadays movie has 100× more budget than this one yet they all got failed, like the meg, god the cgi is god awful. Alien 1979, aliens 1986, jaws 1975 top three the best monster movies
MinuteHurricane No King Kong???
daboss258 King Kong 2005 was incredible. Most beautiful movie I’ve ever seen.
@@knightmare9160 I would say the original Jurassic park too.. The animatronics in that are just stunning! I would recommend getting that on 4k if you haven't already
@@knightmare9160 those are 3 of the best.
I saw The Thing in 1982 as a teen and it's in my top 3
My father always laughed when Chief Brody jumps back. Even after 47 years this film still holds its own.
Haha your dad had a good sense of humor
And it'll hold its own 100 years from now. A great movie is a great movie.
I loved that part where Chief Brody goes on his ranting which is typical of how Roy Scheider does in his movies.
Roy Scheider was an amazing actor and he should be respected more than he is today.
Awesome actor. He was also great in 52 Pickup
Thanks you guys
Roy Scheider was incredible, died way too young. He did some really adventurous stuff like Sorcerer and All That Jazz. Very smart actor. The Actor I would compare him to today is Willem Dafoe.
He was excellent in The French Connection and Seven Ups. Still of the Night was not bad either imo.
..
I mean...he wasn't *lying* . They did, in fact, need a bigger boat.
Or A boat, since Bruce destroyed the Orca
Quint knew that that would be a waste of time.
The orca was pretty small to hunt that shark
@@jamlym4974 Quint was prideful and wanted to kill the shark because of the money he was given. Nothing wrong with that but it ultimately got him killed.
TheRebel That makes sense.
The moment at 0:18, when Scheider moves into the center of the frame faster than the Flash, that look of shock on his face, is one of the funniest shots in movie history (without diluting the suspense, either).
They really don't make them like this anymore. One of the greatest movies ever made. RIP Roy Schieder and Robert Shaw. The last legend we have is Richard Dreyfuss.
You got scott pedersons phone number?
The problem is they do make more movies like that.
Theres more to come
Rambo 12
Jaws 10
Robocop 55
Teminater 33
,,,,,They will be back,,,,
@@freedvonee512
The Meg is a really good Shark movie.
RIP to those two actors.
His reaction is probably the most iconic moment scene in cinema history
Maybe in the top 100.
I read ironic for a second. Was about to be so mad
Whose ...can you be more specific
Was it in the Pacific
Probably not...
It reminded me of Fear and Loathing
IMO one of the smaller factors in the success of JAWS was that they resisted the temptation to fill it with beautiful, perfect looking people. Everybody was just average looking and chosen on acting skiils.
Totally agree. That's much more believable.
Before shooting Jaws Spielberg asked some Hollywood studio executive of what he needed to make Jaws a success and the studio executive replied:"Cast the biggest three names in Hollywood and everybody will go and see it." The biggest actors in the mid 70's were Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Steve McQueen. With the budget Spielberg had he immediately understood there was no way he'd be able to afford those "A-listers" and also believed they were too big for (at the time) a young, no-name director called Steven Spielberg to direct even if he could have afforded *one* of them.
Spielberg therefore said:"Scr*w it! I'm going to make this a great movie without these A-listers and choose great character actors to portray the parts." Perhaps without knowing it he inadvertently did *exactly* what all the great directors do - pick good actors for the roles rather than pick some A-lister to sell a movie.
For the part of Martin Brody Spielberg originally wanted Joe Bologna but the producers vetoed his choice. He then offered the part to Robert Duvall who was more interested in playing Quint and tried to convince Spielberg this was a role he would better cast as. Spielberg disagreed and then shortly considered Charlton Heston but then remembered how much he had liked Roy Scheider in The French Connection and thus cast him as Brody.
Even though Spielberg himself claims he always considered Richard Dreyfus as Matt Hooper other sources from the time of production claim Spielberg first offered the part to Jon Voight who wasn't interested to appear in a "killer shark movie". Jeff Bridges was considered for Hooper a while but in the end Richard Dreyfus said he was "instantly available" and "willing to sacrifice his days for long shoots".
For Quint Spielberg originally saw Lee Marvin. He turned the role down. Then he wanted Sterling Hayden but he apparently had some tax problems and/or saw fishing as some "serious business" (he was a sports fisherman) and not some "movie nonsense". So Spielberg sat down with his producer and said:"Well, what about Robert Shaw?" In hindsight that was absolutely the perfect cast for Quint.
@@theirondukew.8522 Thx for the inside knowledge :)
Average??? Look at that mans beard 😂😂😂
TheIronDuke W. Lol Jon voights loss then
When you have a scene like this, an hour and fifteen into an already extremely scary, well-made movie, that has people screaming and their "jaws" dropping, you know you've got a masterpiece on your hands.
not that well made, actually. Production of the film was hell, things went so bad that Steven Spielberg thought his carreer was over. But Jaws is masterpiece nevertheless.
@@luciano53688 The production wasn't smooth but it doesn't mean it isn't well made does it?
I remember seeing this as a kid in the Blue Ridge Cinema ... I've hated dark water ever since. Intellectually, I know that sharks don't exist in fresh water, and I don't care. They're out there ... I'm a 54 year-old American male and that's my story.
Jesus Christ loves you and all
@luciano53688
The first half of the movie (the land based scenes) went very well and pretty much according to schedule in May and June 1974. They weren't much behind schedule when they went out to sea for the Orca based scenes in July. That's when the problems began.
Brody: You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat
Steven Spielberg after Jaws: I'm Gonna Need a Bigger Wallet
Lol
underrated
Lol 😂
The Best comment I read today.
🤣🤣🤣
Quint is the best character in this movie. He comes off as such a rugged and rogue sea captain but you can tell how deep down he’s really scared shitless of sharks. This scene and the Indianapolis scene captures that very well. He knew this shark would be his demise
And he's not going down without a fight....
Fun fact Robert Shaw was sloshed during the Indianapolis scene
That's okay, so was I.
I didn’t get that from the character. I mean, on the water isn’t everyone a little afraid of sharks? But, I always felt like after the Indianapolis, Quint had a deep seated hatred of sharks. So much so that he spent the rest of his life hunting and killing them. When the bounty on the shark fell in his lap, he thought he could put his skills to his advantage and not just for money (“I don’t want anymore of this zonin’ crap”) but to cash in AND be a hero in the process. But this shark was literally unlike anything he’d ever seen.
MrRolyat98 There’s definitely an Ahab thing going on there…
This is one of the few films I consider perfect. I can watch it again and again, and it never gets old.
I agree, what makes it so perfect is it's simplicity and minimalism
Crichjo32 I agree, very few films can claim that. Maybe also Alien and Raiders of the lost Ark.
A timeless classic
I have seen it so many times and I still can feel my 7 year old self in the late 70s. The soundtrack, the summer heat, the thrill of seeing this brand new. It's so nostalgic! I prefer music to keep me rooted in my younger days, but there are a few timeless movies that also put me right back to "then" and this is one.
Crichjo32 agree
Can’t believe this movie was made a decade before I was born and still the Best Shark movie ever made.
That's because it isn't really about the shark. It's about the people whose lives are affected by it. A lesson forgotten by most (not all) of the lesser shark movies since.
It builds on the terror by seeing so little of the shark for 2/3rds of the movie. The technical nightmare of the shark became a blessing in disguise, because not seeing it tapped into the primal fear of the unknown, and of not being able to see the danger until it was only a few feet from you...and by that time, there is no escape.
The last time I saw something like that was in the trailer for THE MEG, where the final shot shows this monstrous shark coming up from below under a boat, the jaws opening wider and wider until the boat looked like it was the size of a chicken nugget...and then cutting to black before the head broke the surface.
By the time you realize you are in trouble, it has already devoured you.
It was my fav movie until The Meg came out
Best movie ever made.
Spielberg.
Quint should have listened to me.
I would listen
Well this didnt age well lol...
Congrats for making that sunuvabitch smile.
LMAO WHAT- Hjzjzjshsh
Yes, yes he should have.
That bit where he stands up straight fast is funny
that's the funniest part lol
+Chynasmom how does jaws die in the third movie
+Original Bonnie in the 3rd movie there is a grenade hanging out of the sharks mouth from a guy that got eaten earlier, they manage to hook the pin and blow it up!
Jaws is the movie not the sharks name
He doesn't even lose his smoke. Classic.
One of the greatest movies ever made
I agree
Greatest shark movie
Totally
yes
Amen
0:18 when you're about to go the bed and you see a spider crawling on your wall.
I can confirm this because THIS HAPPENED TO ME the other day 😭😅😱 🕷️🕸️
Ah yes, I also think about needing a bigger boat when there’s a spider on my wall.
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲
So true
Right🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Loved how they did the jump scare one second after a comedic line. Give the audience a smile and a chuckle just in time to get slammed with terror. Very effective.
Yep. There’s a scene like it in « Bonnie and Clyde » - they are messing up a bank robbery and the whole audience is laughing out loud, when suddenly Clyde’s gun goes off and the teller catches the bullet square in the head and begins bleeding like a stuck pig - one moment everyone is laughing, then they are frozen in place in horror.
You Know...
If you watch Jaws backwards,
is about a shark that throws up so many people
that they have to open a beach.
I know the joke is old, but I got a chuckle from that.
That pretty much rivals the classic Godzilla gag lol.
Lol
That's funniest comment on UA-cam I've seen in a long time.
That did make me laugh I must admit 😂
Robert Shaw should have gotten the best supporting actor award, but didn't even get nominated. A raw deal.
What bout best actor
Quint was his finest role...ten times better than his turn as Henry VIII. His alcoholism on set only added to that performance.
James Grassia Robert Shaw’s eyewitness account of the fate of the USS INDIANAPOLIS was the highlight of the movie to me.
@@boblast1073 ok
He didnt get it because of the billing of the movie I think. He totally deserved it though as time has shown.
Oh God, I can never get enough of this movie, the music, every subtle nuance and tiny detail.......my all-time biggest OBSESSION (I'm autistic). To this day I'll never know why this movie took a strangle-hold of me....but even so many many years later ..... it's the ONLY movie that I have this other-worldly fondness for, like no other movie, ever. Right down to every single scene and line....and musical note.
The way he stands up. Not a word is spoken,yet...we know what he's feeling.
Yeah, that was some seriously good acting. His reaction looked so genuine.
The shark's reaction was good, too.
He had that feeling they needed a bigger boat
I like how Quint came out of the cabin, turned and just stopped to look at Brody. It was like he knew Brody was not lying or mistaken.
His reaction is almost a non reaction. It is almost like someone burning their hand.
*That's why Spielberg is a genius...*
*Dozens of movies were made about sharks since then, & still no one can create a scene like this !*
Maro to bad he can’t make good movies anymore
He also directed Jurassic park
@@HomemadeCollectibles - Everybody has a productive peak and past their peak. It happens with bands, athletes, actors and directors. Spielberg's peaks were incredibly high, so a bad film for him is a good film from 90% of the rest of the directors, but everyone goes past their peak at some point and Spielberg is over a decade past his now. Paul McCartney isn't going to write songs like he did in the 1960s and Spielberg isn't going to make masterpieces like Duel & Jaws ever again, but he can still make decent things from time to time.
less is more
@@HomemadeCollectibles Lincoln and Brige of Spies were pretty good, though. But yeah, if you are a director who made movies like Jurassic Park, Jaws, Catch Me If You Can, Schindlers List or The Color Purple i guess just good movies look like bad ones.
I love how Brody simultaneously keeps composure while clearly shitting his pants when he first sees the shark. Great acting on Roy Schneider's part.
holykiller1191 no
Fantastic observation. Couldn't agree with you more.
Actually he wasn't acting, Spielberg didn't show his mecca beast to anyone and this was first time he saw it and his fear was real :D he forgot the line and his line wasn't in script but Spielberg loved it
@@abendrot1482 lol, really? amazing story.
Robert Shaw was the best
1:10
This is one of my favorite shots I can recall from any movie. The way the music swells as this immense beast seems to glide past them, just underneath their feet...I get goosebumps every time.
It translated so well because it’s one of the very few instances (if any) that Jaws makes an appearance without that legendary John Williams theme build-up.
I commented before reading your comment. When the shark is an unseen menace, the music is understated and ominous. When the shark comes into view, the musc swells and becomes wonderous. Great touch.
I think what makes this scene so suspenseful is you see the vast ocean and you are the prey. Nobody is coming to the rescue.
@@DavidSmith-tu1nd Exactly! As my high school film teacher pointed out, they were shooting in Martha's Vineyard, so they were fairly close to shore (or at least within sight of it) for many of the out-at-sea scenes, but Spielberg made CERTAIN to never include that in the background; making it feel like the open ocean was all around them. This whole movie's just brilliant.
This film is a masterpiece! Jaws is honestly one of the scariest films I've seen and still to this day it gives me the chills!
Saw Jaws the summer it came out while on vacation at the beach. I was a teenager. Never went into water above my knees after that. The opening scene!
There was a showing of it in the sea near where I live. You would be in the sea in a rubber ring at night and they would show the film on a big screen like an out door cinema. I did think about it, but no, I would have crapped myself........
Love how the jump scare comes out of nowhere in what seems like just a normal scene! Similar to the first raptor scene in Jurassic park! Spielberg is a genius
Yes, it's a rare occasion of a jump scare done right
@@Stigmatix666 And of course the _other_ jump scare in the movie, which is far worse (and which I won't spoil for those who haven't seen it).
This scene is the best example of jump scare
It wasn't a jump scare.

Poor doomed Ben Gardener
Quint puking up blood and being swallowed alive... Rated PG
Damn I love them old days
O yes i saw 5 years old when i seen it at the movie when it first came out.1975.Even good comedy and horror movies back then growing up.I even got away of watching R Rated.The good old days alright.Man i feel depressed now lol.
Jaws was gorier than Alien. They just said the F word a few times too many in Scott's movie.
pdt1515 as the producers pointed out, humans can't replicate being a shark hence the pg 13. But yeah I agree.
pdt1515 PG-13 didn't exist until nearly a decade later, and was first used on 1984's Red Dawn. Before that, a film was either G, PG, or R. Go back and watch Bad News Bears sometime, they drop the S, F, and N bombs in it repeatedly, and it's rated PG.
bjchit The reason why it had less gore was to keep the creature unseen so the audience could only guess how it looked like and how it kills (at least until the end).
Quints Intense stare is legendary. He finally met his adversary. Amazing acting from one of the all time greats
I love how the music shifts. It's ominous as the shark is approaching. When he comes into full view as he passes, the music becomes wonderous.
It’s John Williams, right? Same thing happened with the music during Jurassic Park. He did the music for the original Jurassic Park not the Jurassic World.
1:10 - 1:25
Hooper: "That's a 20 footer..."
Quint: "25... 3 tons on him."
I got chills when Quint said that, an image of the sharks size as if he was next to me played in my head.
The statue of David is 17 feet tall. Look at a picture of a man standing next to it, then imagine how massive a shark would have to be to be that size.
"SHUT OFF THAT ENGINE!!!"
Seems like such a throw away line.
But Quint knows his ship, bow to stern, hull to crows nest.
He can't get a good look at Bruce if both are moving.
And that's how he gets "25.... 3 tons on him"
Quinn has to let Hooper know that he is the shark expert by stating that the shark was 5 ft longer than Hooper stated " that's a 20 footer no 25 with 3 tons on him"
@@dougyoungs2599 he looks so fixated on the shark, I think he knows what he's talking about.
@@dougyoungs2599 Exactly. It was the old working class vs upper class fight showing there too. He just had to correct the school boy.
This shark looks real enough for me. Quite impressing for a 1975 film! I don't think they'd make a better looking shark nowadays.
+Wint Herr Yep. Back when practical visual effects were the shit. That's why it's so awesome to see movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and Star Wars Episode VII going back to the old school ways of visual effects because CGI just isn't cutting it anymore.
+Wint Herr Even though it came out a bit later, Jurassic Park was the same. The effects in that were amazing, and the robotic dinosaurs are so convincing, even in today's standards.
Well they do make better cgi sharks and the mechanical share doesn't ever do anything complex because it's impossible without cgi
+Wint Herr The animatronic sharks from Deep Blue Sea were very impressive, it's a shame they messed it up with the CGI sharks.
+Carl Townsend agree
His improvising of that line is already incredible, but I can’t express how much I love his hilariously terrified instant reaction
John Williams music + Steven Spielberg directing = Perfection of the highest order
Wow 40 years old this year and still as good as ever .
+Christopher Cory Nothing beats a classic like this or Star Wars or Indiana Jones. :-)
Your not wrong there Agent E spielberg and Lucas sure know how to make em
+Christopher Cory Thanks :-)
i watch this movie at least once a year on a hot summer evening.
You're gonna need a bigger boat
There's probably at least a 25 foot Great White out in our oceans somewhere, maybe even a 30 footer. I think that's why Jaws was such a great movie, because it's actually believable.
You are right. They might be 7.5 m (24.6 ft) long Great White Shark but it might be rare. You are wrong at one thing and that's their isn't 9 m (30 ft) long Great White Shark. Great White Shark those between 4 m (13 ft) and 7 m (23 ft) not rare. Great White Sharks don't have natural predator but did been seen Killer Whale killed Great White Shark. Great White Sharks largest prey largest seal the Elephant Seal.
***** I think it's a little closed-minded to say it's impossible that a 30 foot Great White exists in our oceans. I think it's unlikely that there are very many of them that size, but to say that one doesn't exist based solely on the fact that humans haven't seen one seems somewhat presumptuous.
Crosby4hyg No there are not. A 25 foot great white is very rare, a 30 foot does not even exist.
jakethemuss3 I strongly agree with you. The biggest Great White Shark ever captured was 8 m (26 ft) long and weight is 3.3 tonnes. Great White Sharks 5th biggest predator in the world after 9 m (30 ft) long and weight is 9 tonne the Killer Whale. Great White Sharks record is biggest predatory fish. Mako sharks related to Great White Sharks because they look like Great White Sharks except size, colour, pray, speed and where about in which ocean they live in.
jakethemuss3 I believe the largest Great White ever recorded is something like 26 or 27 feet. Is it really so hard to believe that there's one three or four feet longer which we simply haven't encountered?
That acting in this scene alone is incredible . True legends
filming/editing are incredible too
@@yusufgaridi9523 yeah for things like the shark and all the underwater parts with the shark, but the real emotion from Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss has nothing to do with that
I love the little detail of Quint looking at the tail when Bruce goes past the boat. He's measuring it. Very small detail but very well done.
Rip Robert Shaw and Roy Scheider
James Dickman Yup 😢😢😢
F
Looks like Hooper is the only one in the orca then...
Robert and Roy got eaten by Bruce
Kitten Gamer Nuuuuu
I love how Brody doesn't drop his cigarette. He just keeps puffing away!
Ikr
You would need a cigarette too if you seen a shark that big
whats good is the cigarette has gone from his mind in the moment, hes so transfixed by what hes seen hes lost all intrest in it.
“I’m going to need a bigger cigarette”
Section GamingPlus you mean cigars
The timing in this scene is incredible. The shark pops out at just the right moment. I wonder how many takes that took. “Quint” even takes a second to look at Brody’s face before going on deck. That is a nice touch by Shaw.
@Shari Lucas: Was thinking same, earlier today.
Apparently it took them quite a few takes to get the timing just right. The shark was either too early or too late. When they threw the lever to raise the platform arm the shark took 3 or 4 seconds to surface. The timing of Roy's line to the shark surfacing was very tricky. So I've read.
Also when Shaw gets out on deck, he doesn't look directly at the shark but first tries to spot it by looking at different directions.
Unfortunately Dreyfuss looks directly at the shark when he turns, like knowing something is there. The scene would have been perfect if he was first looking down to the other two and then at the shark.
The funny thing is it wasn’t the right moment. The shark popped up too early but they ran with it
So much of the timing in this movie is excellent. I think of the scene later, as they bond over supper, and Quint delivers his "Indianapolis" monologue. It's put together so well, and builds to that climax. "Anyway, we delivered the bomb."
I was fortunate to be in the opening showing in Rochester, NY with my sister. Folks were puking and passing out right and left. Truly indelibly etched in my mind. Miss you Sis.
The soundtrack is absolutely brilliant. It builds up the suspense perfectly.

I love that look Quint gets in his eye at 0:45, like Captain Ahab seeing Moby Dick.
always loved how the shark calmly parades near the boat, as if it were saying "admire my magnificence, you ants"
Greatest reaction scene from an actor of all time. The look on his face was just priceless.
"Back home I got a Taxidermy man, he's gonna have a heart attack when he sees what I brought em" - Quint
That line makes me laugh every time the way he delivered it was right on point
Greatest film ever made. Seriously, I love this movie.
Agreed. I've seen it several times. It's a true example of how all films should be made, forget stupid CGI and special effects, just tell a damn story, have some stage actors play the roles, make every scene mean something to the audience and let the imagination of the viewer figure it out. A lot of filmmakers these days try and put too much stuff in a movie, and literally spoon feed the audience with overdrawn dialogue and action sequences when it simply isn't required.
+Romulan2469 yeah. this movie is way better than shallows.
+Marth....because there is no C.G.I. anywhere in this classic.
I think JAWS is an absolute masterpiece, I like it more now than when I was a kid.
I agree. The suspense in these iconic scenes have aged remarkably.
Greatest movie of all time
Thing is when you watch it as a kid, you're just in it for the gore and the action. When you watch it as an adult, you realise just how epic the filmmaking is. You notice the performances and the little details the three main actors add to their characters, you're aware of the script and how spine-chilling the Indianapolis speech is, you appreciate the masterclass in tension-building with the barrels, the broken jetty, etc. signalling the presence of the shark, the foreshadowing...
@@popcornpictures1825 it's my favourite film of all time.
And I've said many times, that so good are all the things you have listed that you needn't have actually seen the shark at any time.
Pure awesomeness from start to finish
@@bigderekkeene exaggerating
Still one of the best movies of all time. It's one of those rare movies that you never get tired of watching.

3 tonnes of her maybe, as apparently males can't reach those sizes but amazing line from film, sets the scene.

We're gonna need a bigger boat?
Klonoa1211 yeah
What he meant to say was, "We're screwed."
@SavageArfad except for the beach attack in the ponds
Absolutely hilarious when he stands up at 0:17. He was clearly and understandably horrified, but totally calm and composed at the same time.
Jaws is my favourite film of all time, there isn't one film that I've watched over a couple of times, but I've seen this masterpiece at least ,well I've lost count, it's the atmosphere of it, just everything and I never get bored of it...
Oh you mean you know your films and know when you’re watching a masterpiece? it’s refreshing to know there are others out there, Jaws is a masterpiece.
Something about growing up on the treasure coast of Florida ..and having lots of time on the beach and out in boats definitely adds to the experience of this movie. My dad and I and my sister watched this so many times.
You should also try Spielberg's first film- Duel (1971). That's great too. Can never get sick of it and it has resonances with jaws (well Jaws has resonances with Duel to be precise).
@@andreabknight I honestly haven't heard of that film and I am a big Spielberg fan, I will definitely check that out...

I love that the shark’s size is realistic. There have been cases of Great White sharks of 20-23 feet, so 25 is not unreasonable or unrealistic.
The longest great white that was ever officially recorded and verified was 19 ft 6 in. There have been claims of bigger sharks but they have either incorrectly measured, exaggerated, or not verified. There are undoubtedly great whites bigger than that but none have ever been accurately measured.
0:18 the way he reacts always gets me 😂😂😂😂😂
Same here. Super fast to a still position. And without wincing or any facial change. Amazing.
Robert Shaw was sooo good in this movie. He was awesome in The Sting also.
Love JAWS and The Sting.Good call.
That shot of them staring at 0:58 is haunting because they were treating this like a normal hunt, until they saw the shark properly. Now, they understand the true challenge ahead of them
A movie far ahead of its time, jaws made you terrified to get into the water.
I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was 7 and then going swimming at the beach the next day. Also in 2019, there was a restaurant on the beach that was showing it on a big screen TV and myself and my date were swimming in the water at night time at the beach while watching Jaws
Brody's expression was priceless.
I think I first saw this scene when I was thirteen or fourteen. It was on cable. I'll never forget that moment. I got a feeling in my stomach that I've never had before, there weren't even words to describe it, and I still can barely watch it, even now.
As for the special effects, damn incredible. Even now the shark still looks so f**kin real to me. Forget the CGI animation crap. This stuff is a work of art. You can see how much effort they put into it. You see the sweat and blood. Those awful black eyes. I almost threw up when I saw this movie.
Robert Shaw should have gotten an Oscar for this movie; he was just stupendous.
All three are fabulous together. One of the greatest trios in movie history.
@@roquefortfiles true, next to denero, liotta and Pesci
Should of won an Oscar for that Indianapolis speech alone. Chilling.
@@danradu231 Truly!
When the shark swims by the boat and the music is being played, now that’s eerie
One of the best scenes in movie history, everything is just perfect.
@@mindriot91_96 Quint's story of the indianapolis is ten times better, the single greatest scene in movie history
@@patc4624 True. The whole movie is full of great scenes.
The shark big reveal with the music going by the boat is the point where this film gets epic. Then when it takes off it's like let's get down to business
Love how quint just says "shut off the engine" The scene speaks for itself. A lesser directory would have treated the audience like they were stupid and had Brody say "look at the size of that shark etc etc.
+toscodav lol Lucas?
+toscodav Les is more!!. You don't need to spoon feed the audience. We know the shark is massive. And they have a shit load of problems on their hands. "shut off that engine". (give our star the respect he deserves!!) Its a fucking brilliant scene. Sets up the mystery and majesty of the shark perfectly. I fell in love with this movie when i saw this one scene.
Have you ever noticed that relative to the shot of the approaching shark, the front-on view of Quint shows him looking in the wrong direction.
yortko1
Yes I have. Also the direction they are all looking when the shark comes up is slightly to stern and the right. Yet when the shark goes by the boat it approaches from the far left. Who cares.. Its all so well done you don't notice.
Thanksgiving Night 1975. Finally saw it at the movies when the lines down the sidewalk thinned out. What a movie! Robert Shaw was made for the role of Quint.
Too bad he passed away only 3 years later
AJ: and to think Spielberg’s first choices for Quint were Lee Marvin and Sterling Hayden. Zanuck and Brown suggested Shaw, who of course was in their movie The Sting.
@@chiefscheider Lee Marvin had the look and the voice for that part but hard to imagine anyone doing a better Quint then Shaw
@vidaa82 It did, read what he said. He waited till the lines going into the theater slowed down before he went to see it.
He was great in The Taking Of Pelham 123 as well
_"You're gonna need a bigger boat..."_
You know that was an ad-lib from Roy Scheider?
Inspired.
My first visit to the cinema..10yr old..abc cinema newcastle..with my dad.1975..jumped into the row behind when head popped out of hole in boat..seen jaws a thousand times since...nothing can touch it still to this day..masterpiece
Ian Malcolm would have said ....” Boy do I hate being right all the time “
Fr
"Life Uh Finds a Way."
Wtf
He wouldn't have been in the movie
If he was he would have been the starter..
Hooper: That's a 20 footer.
Quint: 25. Three tons of him.
In most shark documentaries you almost never see a Great White over 16 or 17 feet. Just imagining a Great White the size Quint says gives you a cold shiver up your spine.
Yes, they usually go to areas where young sharks predominate. It would be fascinating if a 25 foot White showed up while they were filming in a cage though.
John Cornell They are in some documentaries, but very rarely do they show up unfortunately. A friend of mine told me his father had gone deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico last year. He had hooked a marlin and almost had it worn out when a White that was almost as long as the 30ft boat came by and took it. So there are real monsters out there and maybe one day they'll get one on video.
John Cornell It was like 5 miles off the Texas coast he said. Apparently they have been tracked swimming all across the Gulf.
John Cornell
Yeah, they've tagged and tracked them swimming from the west coast of Fl to Texas and down to Mexico. He reported the sighting but people didn't believe it was as big as he said.
John Balfour okay he could be exaggerating it too much. 30 ft is almost talking Megalodon size. Though the hunch is that somehow It may exist somewhere
There's so many little moments in this film that I just adore. Him continuing to throw the chum and accidentally hitting the shark with it is just so funny to me for some reason.
0:50 - 1:20 I must have seen the movie a couple hundred times and still get chills at this part, the shot of the shark passing by with John Williams' music is so iconic. My second favorite movie of all time.
I miss Roy Schneider. Thanks for improvising this line, Roy
Still the best horror movie of all time.
And the sequels were sad.
***** It's under the Horror genre at Amazon, Blockbuster, and Netflix. Try again.
I would categorize it under suspense or thriller rather than horror. Or maybe a combinations of those.
***** who said horror,its
100%comedy
One of the best. Definitely a trend setter, along with Halloween and Alien.
I don't know why but I just love the part at 1:10 to 1:19 when bruce is just swimming by with that music while everyone on board is just staring at how big the shark is.
Same
That's the money shot. Combined with the music, it's pure Spielberg.
One of the greatest quotes of all time in one of the greatest movies of all time
,,You’re gonna need a bigger boat".
0:18 that reaction is pure gold ;)))
At 0:18 how he stands up always gets me
Brody's reaction to the shark is like someone burning their hand on a hot stove. His reaction is almost a NON reaction.
Thought he would have dropped the cigarette out of his mouth.
yes, it is the classic cartoon "sproing" move - all that is missing is the eyeballs on springs
He looks like 1955 doc Brown when Marty tells him about the flux capacitor.
😂
No matter how many times I have seen this film and watch this scene and others, I still find it hard to believe that was all a mechanical shark, I had to reply this scene again just to look at the thing and it just looks amazing, big props to the crew in 1975, big props
Hahahah the shark was literally a big prop
The way he reacts immediately after seeing the shark never fails to make me laugh
Remaking movies is nothing but a proof that Hollywood's out of ideas.
Movies from the 80s and 70s such as this one have passed the test of time flawlessly.
+trent willams Yes but they turned the JG wizard of oz into a memorable classic, same as ben hur and SF. Jaws is a classic, they cannot redo that.
+trent willams not as many or frequently as now though.
It's all remakes or bringing back old series.
Andoc will never happen.
and how many sequels did we get in the 80's? How many Jaws movies?
randomguy6679 Friday the 13th there were plenty!
0:34 the most iconic line that was not scripted
0:18 no reaction could be better for this scene
Roy was an amazing actor, and the line "You're gonna need a bigger boat." was ad-libbed by him. The movie wouldn't be the same without it!
Thats what I thought, but what was the original plan? For nothing to be said and for Quint to just look at him and then step outside to look at the water?
@@chatteyj no the line was in the script the entire time it's a myth that it was improvised
Did you know that the line "You're gonna need a bigger boat" was improvised? That line wasn't in the script. Roy Schneider said that line while they were filming the scene, he said that right on the spot.
* Scheider.
@Nas 2019 Why are you addressing your comment to me? I never said the line wasn't in the script.
@@seikibrian8641
It was in the script
He used it often on set ...
In certain situations
But it was Steven Spielberg's iconic line... hence the long pause.....
@@freedvonee512 Why are you addressing your comment to me? I never said it wasn't in the script, the OP did. All I did was correct his spelling of Scheider.
@@seikibrian8641
Ok fair enough
But many think it was Scheider who added the line whereas it's part of the original story
Steve met the author to sort out certain issues and often money was a factor so the line needed to be used at the best time .... the line delivered when it was ...is classed as one of Steve's most iconic pieces of artistic license....
And to think that line was not scripted sometimes it's better to let actors make a few things up as they go along
Yeah Roy Schneider was definitely underrated on this one and yet he held his own. He did a phenomenal job in both Jaws 1 and Jaws 2. You couldn't help but love this guy. The 1970s and film production could have possibly been the greatest era with this movie also with a Godfather 1 and 2 and Rocky 1 and even Rocky 2. I love being a kid when and got to see these movies with a small city movie theater where I grew up. It was so many special memories and I called UA-cam all three of these movies all the time.
Roy Schneider was also great in The French Connection.
I was also great at spelling my last name. It's _Scheider._
Growing up today the kids have the technology, but growing up in the late 70s/80s you just can't compare the movies and the music now compared to then (the 80s was on another level) the sheer excitement of watching jaws as a kid was unbelievable.
Roy Scheider is one of my favorite actors. He was huge in many movies including Marathon Man, The Seven-Ups, and Blue Thunder. One of his best unscripted lines was, "You're gonna need a bigger boat."
Jaws : great directing, great actors ( look at Roy Scheider's expression at 0:18 telling the audience 'we're not gonna make it' ). A great movie still today.
00:17 the thing what you look for, best reaction in the movie history
Spielberg is a genius.
Notice how Quint looks "from the dorsal to the tail" to get a length estimation just before he says "twenty five"? Excellent small detail there, which of course he later brings up during the USS Indianapolis monologue.
Thank you so much wow never noticed that
I heard from one of the specials they had about Jaws, that Shaw did the first monologue and he was drunk and it was horrible, so he went home the next day ,re wrote it and did it spot on the first time,, Hell of an actor, to bad he died so young...
John C
They did use clips of Shaw drunk from the first take though. You can tell by his glassy eyes.
which scene are you guys talking about though? this one?
ilya Kozlov
The USS Indianapolis monologue.
0:18 At that moment, Brody realised exactly what they were up against 😳
One of greatest scenes in cinema history. Right up there with the very best and most iconic ever of all time.
I had the honor of attending a Master Acting class at Franklin & Marshall College. It was taught by Roy Scheider. Basically, it was a Q&A. To my absolute joy, mine was the first question he took. A male student: "I love theatre, but I find it hard to memorize my lines. I play ball with the guys; I go out with my girl friend. How do you find the time when you're busy?" Scheider: "What was that you said about theatre?" The guy: "I love theatre." Scheider: "No, you don't. Next." Afterwards, I was in the lobby. I bumped into the person standing behind me. I turned to apologize. I'm 5'6". The gray-haired top of this person's head came to my shoulder. I looked at him, ready to apologize. It was Roy Scheider! We talked for almost half an hour! I was barely functional the rest of the day. I'm not ashamed to say, I cried the day he died. He had no ego. He was just a down-to-earth guy oozing charisma & class. I miss him.
Sounds like the Scorpio he was. Bulldog commitment to the craft. Wait...just how tall was Roy? Thats amazing. Chicago's 1977 International film festival. Q&A between Roger Ebert and Jaws editor Verna Fields. A short full figured modest lady in black frame glasses . Coffee brown dress falling neatly above her ankles as she reclined yet postured for the mike she didn't really need. The room was about a quarter full. Being a kid of 14, I knew who she was because I actually read screen credits. I memorized the questions from her earlier interviews so I could ask in different words so I could sound smart and impress the adults. I would move from seat to seat just to be in her sight line. She went into detail about working with her husband, being a self taught editor, and working for Hitchcock. Saving shots by one frame. Inserts. pick ups. The cutaway rhythm in the Brody beach scene just before Alex Kintner was killed. How Steven was fired every day. My hand went up. Way up. I started with "...wasn't it true that Spielberg did this and the shark did that and....on and on. Ebert didn't pick me anymore after two times. But she did ! She said, " Oh no...This is great. I have a teen age son. Im used to it. Go on." What about the shark leap at Brody's chumming scene? "We had to go back and do that one right. That shot was surgery," she said. " Roy's shock reaction was shot first. No shark that day. Then we shot the shark leap two weeks later and had to match it.. Steven held out eight hours for one shot that day to get the timing right so I had room to cut it as tight as I could." Then it was over.
I wanted to say hello and thank her for answering. Drifting to the foot of the stage, I waited...and waited. Many people around her. Then the unexpected happened. She waved me up. I froze. She wanted me to help her down the stairs. It became a walk up the isle to the lobby, holding my hand as we went. She didn't let go. She asked me what my major was in school. I said cinematography. She cupped my hand with both her hands and leaned me in close. " Thats a tough one. We need you...." She pinched the back of my hand and said "there are no black cinematographers in the union..." I was taken back at first. Then I looked around. I was the only black kid in attendance for a film editing interview with Verna Fields. And that was the vein of her advice. She took the time to explain to a zealous kid that zeal and enthusiasm wasn't enough. Insight and discernment coupled with dogged determinism ...might get you considered. The rest will take care of itself. With a pleasant brush of her hand on my cheek , she had to go. She was late. For me, she was brutally right on time.
@@shihanUKS Neat story. Are you now in film? Did it really matter what your skin color was in the room? It didn't matter to you until she made you aware of your color. We are individuals with ideas of the mind, color matters not. Sorry, I'm a kid of the same generation as you, I guess I'm growing wary of all the woke bullshine forced fed into my children who are now the same age as we were then. We were free... they are becoming slaves. We should make a film about that... no comedy that one.
Wait, why'd he say "No you don't"?
@@garyjones2561 The reason he said that was because the guy started out by saying he loves theatre & then gave this list of other things he'd rather do than memorize his lines. If you truly love theatre, you sacrifice a lot. I have a degree in Drama & have been in a lot of plays. Trust me, I know the sacrifice.
@@murraymall5116 Oh silly me, you have a degree. Well I have a life. And I fancy the thought of being an actor but if it breeds attitude like that I'll pass. 😁
One of the best scenes in cinema history! FACT!
ONE of the best. Many others out there.
Aaron Neville
Lol
HELL YEAHHHHHH
10000% agree
Thank god the shark kept breaking down during filming. That's the only reason we don't see it in it's entirety until this far into the film. Spielberg originally wanted to show the shark a lot more during the film but because it kept breaking down, he decided to go with a Hitchcockian approach. By not showing the shark until this point made this scene all the more brilliant. That's great filmmaking!
bigleaguechew87 With a rather small budget of around 9 million, having your mechanized star of the show constantly malfunctioning isn't a surprise.
And even with these setbacks, it became one of the most iconic stars in horror movies!
@@SoldierOfFate In 1975, 9 million dollars was a lot for a movie.
One of the greatest movie scenes of all time from one of the greatest movies of all time
46 years later, a master piece. It is the best movie I have ever seen.The characters were exactly what they had to be. The story was exactly what it had to be. The soundtrack was exactly what it had to be. The Orca was exactly what it had to be. The fact to hide the shark until that scene instead of showing him since the very beginning was exactly what had to be done...
Spielberg is hell of a genius !!!
Except that wasn't the way Spielberg had planned to make the film. His mechanical shark was so balky and keep breaking down that he had no choice but to show it very sparingly. He said it was dumb luck. And boy was it!
