The audience would have had their first jump scare if Hendricks found Chrissy's body as it was described in the novel. He pulled aside a clump of seaweed to reveal the upper portion of her body; face agape, breast flattened like a pressed flower and a portion of her arm in her socket. I braced to see this in 1975 when the movie was released and when that didn't happen, I relaxed. Then Ben Gardner's head popped out of the hull in his boat and I, and the rest of the theatre, jumped in our seats.
I was 8 years old & nearly had a heart attack 😳. I went to see this with my friend and his parents, when we got home, we lived across the street from them and I had to walk home & even though we lived in Tallapoosa, a rural west/central town in Georgia, I was terrified a shark was going to jump out of the woods & get me before i got inside our house 😝. Oh, the memories of those long ago days of my childhood 😊
yeah I remember I graphic the novel was in describing how Chrissy looked. Honestly you could get away with a a scene like that nowadays with CGI but back in 75' forget it. even the actual attack attack at the beginning in the novel describes how you actual see the shark under water eating Chrissy. woof!
Give it time...they'll do a remake of Jaws that's more gory,leaving less to the imagination...but instead of a female it'll be a man named Chris that gets gored by the Shark.
One of the finest movies ever made. The plot, actors, character development, suspense, movie soundtrack, etc…are 2nd to none. I cannot help but watch this movie whenever it is on.
Couldn't be said any better. Saw it at the theater just shy of my 6th birthday. Still can't get enough of it. Even the "boring" scenes are genius to me. It's just so real.
One of the visual elements I always liked was how Spielberg used fences and gates to resemble teeth. This film is an absolute classic and in my opinion Spielberg’s best film. It was made before he became predictable and formulaic and obsessed with making family friendly films. Back then he was a risk taker and a pioneer.
Now that I've watched the part with the young man having to identify what's left of Chrissie's body, I understand his frazzled appearance when they're back at the office. Thanks for sharing. Also as a reminder to younger viewers, we watched this terrifying movie on a huge screen in a theater, much different than a laptop or Smartphone. Just sayin'

One of the great films of any decade. Editing is one of the great rarely acknowledged cinematic arts. Sometimes, less is more and the skill comes from knowing when that applies. DVD has the advantage of including the edits so that film buffs can see that skill at work.
I’ve coined a term for it, specific to the scary movie genre. Jaws vs Saw mentality. Jaws, as you state, was about suspense, editing, music. Saw, is all about gore and shock. Jaws vs Saw. I know which I prefer.
From what I understand, they wanted the shark to appear in a lot more scenes, but it kept malfunctioning. Also George Lucas told Steven not to "overthink" it, or he'd ruin it. Seems he was right.
One of the rare occasions where the movie was better than the book. The book was downright depressing. The town was dying, the mayor was into the mob for big bucks, the mayors wife was off in the head, the Brody marriage was a mess, Hooper bangs the chiefs wife & the shark kills him…and Quint was even more certifiable than he was in the movie.
I never realised this perspective, but you are totally right. My memories of the book - apart from having a cover which terrified me in the 70’s - was it being used as display furniture. To enlarge, at that time in the U.K. there was a ropey furniture warehouse called MFI. Every installation which tried to look homely, had a selection of shelved books to make matters realistic. EVERY installation had a copy of Jaws! My parents spent hours for several weeks, every weekend at that b*gger-house choosing furniture. In that time, a ten year old me curled up on a cheap brown leather sofa and read the whole novel. As for Spielberg enchantment, the father and son scene says it all. “Give us a kiss.” “Why?” “Cause’ I need it.”
I saw it when I was 13. My brother was 9. He was TOO young; he was so traumatized that he wouldn’t swim in a pool or even take a bath! 50 years later, he still won’t get in a body of water.
@@headspaceandtiming2114 At least they came off. If you didn't pull a Ramchargers roof off a week after it left Dodge Main it self welded to the body.
I use to love swimming in the ocean until the Jaws movie. Same thing when I first saw Pyscho as a kid, I always had to open the shower curtain first before going in.
When I was young and living at home, I watched Psycho with my parents. After that I had to shower for a date and they kept making scary noises and teasing me about going into the bathroom. I fell in love with Alfred Hitchcock, the director, at an early age - what a master of spooky. Same with Spielberg after seeing Jaws for the first time.
I was around 16 when it first came out.... I actually got creeped out later that summer while swimming in dark, deep water in a freshwater lake in Michigan. LOL
That little touch at the end of this clip, with the secretary relaying to Brody the complaints about the kids karate-chopping the picket fences, is brilliant. By establishing the level of problems that Brody normally deals with in his job, the screenwriters foreshadow how out of his depth (no pun intended) he's going to be with what's coming. Nice, economical, understated storytelling.
One of my favorite deleted scenes was when Quint was in the music store buying piano wire and he begins to torment some little kid playing one of the instruments.
Saw it 20 times during the summer, when I was twelve, in Santa Cruz, Ca. Went to the wharf everyday afterwards, hoping to spot a Great White. I still cannot swim in the ocean without thinking about being gulped down by some monster.

Great movie still has it place in cinematic history. The 70's seemed such a better time....maybe its because I was young then! The world isnt the same anymore....all about greed now although the Mayor in this movie was ahead of the game! Money talks! 💰
I read the book in the backyard of my family's summer house when I was 12. It was on a lake. I finished the last couple of pages as my family was waiting in the car to see the movie. I remember being a little disappointed at the things the movie left out, and thinking the book was better. That night, i dreamed that the house was full of water, and sharks were coming after me. I imagined sharks coming up from under me for years swimming in the lake, 😂. It became my favorite movie for a long time, and I saw it five times in theaters, and many more on TV. Great memories...
How’s the book? I’ve never read it, but I have read Jurassic Park (the book is better, but the movie dose have some things that are better, such as the T-Rex killing the raptors, that’s not in the book and the T-Rex drowns In a waterfall and the baby T-Rex gets bombed, it’s a good read though)
I saw it 4 times in the theater myself. Small theater in Lavallette, NJ which was/is a small shore town not too dissimilar than Amity. Needless to say the beach and even pools were a far different place than they had formerly been…
This movie was not far away by an R-Rating. Spielberg was clever, when he cut a pair of some bloody scenes out...except one with Shaw's death scene at the end.
Reminds me of a scene in the pilot episode of "Quincy": "Its been in the water about a week, what the sharks have left, the crabs have had a go at, there are various marine life forms wriggling around in it.....where's everybody gone?"
@@bbb462cid Yes but, it’s funny that I did not notice that you can see part of her face buried in the sand. I only noticed her hand before watching this video.
Being a huge JAWS fan, I thought I had seen all of the deleted scenes. But I never saw the one with Brody looking through the pickets on the beach at Chrissy and jumping then making the guy identify her.
How did the body get that far upshore? Do they have eight feet of tidal change twice a day or did they have some super storm with a wave that pushed her WAY up the embankments?
Interesting to watch the deleted scenes from "The Terminator". They slowed the movie and gave it less impact. A bit like the director's cuts of Close Encounters and Aliens. Nerds like us like to see what we were missing, but slowed the action and didn't improve those movies.
The same is true with The Fellowship of the Rings, it loses pacing with the extended scenes, The Two Towers and Return of the King are both enhanced by the extended scenes.
I think there's a slightly different order to the shots here (pay attention to Roy's glasses for continuity). 4:45-4:52 and 5:15-5:20 are the same moment from different camera angles (Roy taking 4 steps forward and away from the boy in those time spans). 4:52-4:58 is (I think) an alternate insert to the rest of Roy's reaction where he stumbles back towards the boy (but still has his glasses on). After the boy's reaction at 6:16, it should then cut back to 4:59-5:14 where Roy takes his glasses off, then cut to the station at 6:17. (this is all assuming none of the shots are trimmed or cut out completely to achieve different impact effects with the cut to the boy's expression in the station, ie: showing him turn his head but cutting to the station before we see him react, or cutting Roy taking off his glasses to match cut from the boy's expression on the beach to his expression in the station, etc). (apologies if this was already brought up earlier in the comments)
True story. I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. I was 15 years old. Them finding thr torso was intense. As soon as they showed it the guy behind me who went to school with yelled out;" she's got the crabs"! Well, as bad as it may sound the entire crowd cracked up laughing!
This is from the TV cut Some of these deleted scenes were filmed for when they would cut the movie for its violence/gore for its television debut on network tv. My family taped it back in the day on VHS on TBS in the 90s. Probably 97’ or 98’ and it has this opening scene on it.
Spielberg was the one on shore pulling the ropes moving Chrissy In post production the actress playing Chrissy had to record the screams They sat her in a chair and put a container of water in her lap and used that to make the sounds of her in the movie Spielberg walked in during the recording and said he had to leave because he felt sick listening to it
Florida trip with my family as a teenager after this movie came out. My dad and I were in the ocean, and I won't deny that this movie and Bruce the shark were on my mind. I look around, and he's suddenly nowhere to be seen. He swam up behind me underwater and grabbed my legs and pushed me up out of the water. In my mind it was a great white and I yelled like a little girl. He laughed and laughed at me. He was such a d!ck lol.
"whats that gnoshin' on my leg?" cant ever think of any other name for the book or movie after learning the authors father suggested that as the title after reading the draft...
When i was a kid i remember throwing a toy crocodile at my sister when she and her friend were watching Jaws. Scared her really well. I thought it was funny her not so much.
In the book when Hendricks, Brody and Cassidy find the remains of Christine's body, all three of them vomit. Hours later, when Meadows joins Brody and has lunch, Brody is still too sick to eat much while Meadows has a huge lunch.
The original is so perfect and tight, I'm not sure I like this. Although I like leisurely directing giving time for characters to breathe and develop, I have to agree with Spielberg's choices here. The fence business for sure doesn't work, I'll say that.
@@rmcnabb Yes indeed, I totally agree. Perhaps I should have made myself clearer. I was thinking how just a small difference can alter the whole movie but not necessarily for the best. Now I’m thinking about watching the movie again as I haven’t watched it for a few years 🙂
For everyone who laughs bec Audience was shocked then just by a few (and today harmless) scenes like Chrisies body, Gardeners head and the bitten-off leg must realise that til JAWS nobody shows that gore in cinema before, not even Chainsaw Massacre or Night of the living dead (both R Rated) shows more. Same with Romeros Dawn of the Dead later, a few gorey scenes SHOCKED everybody bec nobody was prepared for that bloody details (compare 78 Dawn with the 2004 and you see the evolution of blood and violence and why these 70s movies are nothing today). Shortly later the Cannibal and Fulci movies kicks gore and violence in incredible heights.
Just watched it at the Absolutely packed Imax Theatre, certain scenes looked like this Movie Was made for the Imax, When I was 5 yrs My dad took me & my twin Brother to watch it on the silver screen A few weeks after it release, I don't know how I got past the usherat my Dad was the exact Double of Roy Schneider Everybody was looking at us
I can see why they cut them, they wouldn't have added anything to the final cut, they were just establishing shots, showing normal people living their normal lives, until....Unneeded scenes.
I never understood why her shark bitten body was found the next morning up between the sand dunes. Seems like the body would have been found semi floating along the shore against the waves.
At 6:52, it seems there is a movie error. In the "removed to" location, it should have been spelled "coroners" and on the sheet of paper, its spelled "corners."
Another error a bit further on in the film..(which you might already be aware of)...when the town are at the meeting after the shark kills Alex Kintner, written on the board it states he was killed at the beach on the 30th June. Yet when Chief Brody is typing his report that morning after finding Chrissie his report states her death as 1st of July.🤨
@@ginmar8134 it's not only the sea, which is why I said 'beach scene', it's the wind, sea, sky, it all changed rapidly, and not only in deleted scenes in Jaws. That's called "paying attention".
Real talk. If Chrissy Watkins hadn’t decided to go skinny dipping at that specific location at that specific point in time, that shark probably would’ve just kept swimming till it hit Florida. Without that single act of idiocy, there’s no story. Then again, without it, Tippet might’ve lived until the late 80’s-early 90’s.
@@texasred2702 - she was going swimming, in the ocean, hours after dark and by herself. Not only that, she went out far enough to be around the buoys. And, she did this without any gear: no fins, no goggles and no vest. So, yeah. I’d say her actions were pretty damn idiotic, but necessary for the story.
@@DetroitAlan01 Nobody with a functional brain swims at night in areas where shars are. But maybe in 75 the people didnt know so much about sharks we do now. And remember that she was drunken or bit high and ignores any risk
Does anyone notice how long it takes til the shark is REAL visible? That makes the Chrissie attack that horrifying that you have to imagine what happens under the surface...

No it was tested in fresh water and did not work in ocean water. Research it! Or maybe you were on set like uncle
@@Gentile108 2 entirely separate sharks. The sea sled shark was engineered to be towed behind a boat. Used for all of the swimming shots. The platform shark was used for all of the biting and surfacing shots such as the chum shot. The salt water corrosion had nothing to do with the shark being towed.
Brody letting that young guy look at the dead body was rubbish, glad they kept it out
I don’t care what they leave out
I do care...it would have been crud if they'd left it in.... Thank god for martha fields editing this film and guiding a very yound and inexperienced spielberg...@@brucethesharkfromjaws5543
He explained that he had to get a closer look to identify since he was the one who reported her disappearance
Back in the 70s that is exactly what would have been done.
@@bansheekh And they let reporters take pictures of the crime scene and showed dead bodies on the front page of the newspaper. If you were standing in line with your mom at the grocery store you could see some lady with her throat slit open and it was only 40 cents for the paper.
MY AUNT TOOK ME AND MY SISTER TO SEE THIS MOVIE. WE WERE IN SHOCK AND WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SAID WE ARE NEVER GOING INTO THE WATER EVER.
Great movie still has it place in cinematic history.
The 70's seemed such a better time....maybe its because I was young then!
The world isnt the same anymore....all about greed now although the Mayor in this movie was ahead of the game! Money talks! 💰
That Brody house is probably worth $10 million today.
Amity was Martha's Vineyard so yes !
I read the book in the backyard of my family's summer house when I was 12. It was on a lake. I finished the last couple of pages as my family was waiting in the car to see the movie. I remember being a little disappointed at the things the movie left out, and thinking the book was better. That night, i dreamed that the house was full of water, and sharks were coming after me. I imagined sharks coming up from under me for years swimming in the lake, 😂. It became my favorite movie for a long time, and I saw it five times in theaters, and many more on TV. Great memories...
How’s the book? I’ve never read it, but I have read Jurassic Park (the book is better, but the movie dose have some things that are better, such as the T-Rex killing the raptors, that’s not in the book and the T-Rex drowns In a waterfall and the baby T-Rex gets bombed, it’s a good read though)
@@brucethesharkfromjaws5543 the film Jaws is one of the few instances when the movie was clearly better.
I saw it 4 times in the theater myself. Small theater in Lavallette, NJ which was/is a small shore town not too dissimilar than Amity. Needless to say the beach and even pools were a far different place than they had formerly been…
@@brucethesharkfromjaws5543
I remember liking the book a lot, but it's not considered that great.
This movie was not far away by an R-Rating. Spielberg was clever, when he cut a pair of some bloody scenes out...except one with Shaw's death scene at the end.
Yeah. The estuary attack (rowboat guy) was originally much more graphic. You can find it on UA-cam. Spielberg decided it went too far.
I wish they kept the scenes with the young boy in the shark's mouth after it breaches. That would have been brilliant.
I watched Jaws at the drive-in in 1971 at 4 years of age. It probably explains a lot.
Yet there is no explanation how you saw the movie at a drive-in theater 4 years before it came out., explain your time travel technique to us
@@chrisbowman7280 I"m sorry, I meant 1975. I was born in 1971. 😂
Reminds me of a scene in the pilot episode of "Quincy":
"Its been in the water about a week, what the sharks have left, the crabs have had a go at, there are various marine life forms wriggling around in it.....where's everybody gone?"
So that explains why the teenager looked traumatized at the police station at the end of this video.
He was shell-shocked.
Yeah I don't get the confusion over why he'd be traumatized without having seen that short sequence. The audience understood in 1975.
@@bbb462cid Yes but, it’s funny that I did not notice that you can see part of her face buried in the sand. I only noticed her hand before watching this video.

5:46 is the reason the fence pieces are broken at the top because of the "9 year olds" lol - that's a classic speilberg callback
Clever observation. Thx.
Being a huge JAWS fan, I thought I had seen all of the deleted scenes. But I never saw the one with Brody looking through the pickets on the beach at Chrissy and jumping then making the guy identify her.
Great movies all in a row. Jaws, rocky, godfather. What happened ?
Now, most of what we get? Comic book movies. 🤮
The scene with the two phones was a “happy accident” & how about the ashtray on the nightstand? 😮
How did the body get that far upshore? Do they have eight feet of tidal change twice a day or did they have some super storm with a wave that pushed her WAY up the embankments?
Those Dingo’s again.
She dragged herself up there with her remaining arm and last remaining breaths.
Perfect setup: "Mayberry" on the beach.
That's Steven Spielberg dog in the film
Interesting to watch the deleted scenes from "The Terminator". They slowed the movie and gave it less impact. A bit like the director's cuts of Close Encounters and Aliens. Nerds like us like to see what we were missing, but slowed the action and didn't improve those movies.
The same is true with The Fellowship of the Rings, it loses pacing with the extended scenes, The Two Towers and Return of the King are both enhanced by the extended scenes.
@@ganggreen9012 Sometimes movies are best kept short or they lose their impact.
Like your comment and mine.
I think there's a slightly different order to the shots here (pay attention to Roy's glasses for continuity).
4:45-4:52 and 5:15-5:20 are the same moment from different camera angles (Roy taking 4 steps forward and away from the boy in those time spans). 4:52-4:58 is (I think) an alternate insert to the rest of Roy's reaction where he stumbles back towards the boy (but still has his glasses on).
After the boy's reaction at 6:16, it should then cut back to 4:59-5:14 where Roy takes his glasses off, then cut to the station at 6:17.
(this is all assuming none of the shots are trimmed or cut out completely to achieve different impact effects with the cut to the boy's expression in the station, ie: showing him turn his head but cutting to the station before we see him react, or cutting Roy taking off his glasses to match cut from the boy's expression on the beach to his expression in the station, etc).
(apologies if this was already brought up earlier in the comments)
Yep ! Never looked at the ocean the same since.
True story. I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. I was 15 years old. Them finding thr torso was intense. As soon as they showed it the guy behind me who went to school with yelled out;" she's got the crabs"! Well, as bad as it may sound the entire crowd cracked up laughing!
I was 13, and then came all the rumors about a great white shark being in your local lake or river 😅😅
The irony being that the crabs got her after the shark had finished with her.
I could never understand how the remains got so far up the beach.
High tide
@@EverestProductionsFanFilms that high up the beach? Nah
I agree they only possible way for that to happen would be After a Major Storm
As bad as my daughter 🤦 annoys the hell out of me lol and I always end up saying " shut up and watch the damn film "
@@ninagreenhalgh9894 ikr
This is from the TV cut
Some of these deleted scenes were filmed for when they would cut the movie for its violence/gore for its television debut on network tv.
My family taped it back in the day on VHS on TBS in the 90s. Probably 97’ or 98’ and it has this opening scene on it.
"Just look side to side about 20 times so the audience know that you're looking at something interesting"
I guess it was normal in the 70s but nowadays if I saw someone had an ashtray in their bedroom I would assume they are a crackhead.
Spielberg was the one on shore pulling the ropes moving Chrissy
In post production the actress playing Chrissy had to record the screams
They sat her in a chair and put a container of water in her lap and used that to make the sounds of her in the movie
Spielberg walked in during the recording and said he had to leave because he felt sick listening to it
Florida trip with my family as a teenager after this movie came out. My dad and I were in the ocean, and I won't deny that this movie and Bruce the shark were on my mind. I look around, and he's suddenly nowhere to be seen. He swam up behind me underwater and grabbed my legs and pushed me up out of the water. In my mind it was a great white and I yelled like a little girl. He laughed and laughed at me. He was such a d!ck lol.
OMG how precious are these. Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea they existed.
I wonder if Andy and Barney had days like this?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
Only if they stumbled upon Aunt B's porn hidden in her cleaning closet.
"whats that gnoshin' on my leg?"
cant ever think of any other name for the book or movie after learning the authors father suggested that as the title after reading the draft...
Went surfing the day after I saw this movie. And every day after for the 50 years after.
That kitchen scene lol. But I’d swear the crab scene was in the theaters? This was a treat, thank you ❤😊
The first victim had bad dandruff. They found her head and shoulders on the beach.
That is bad.......but also cleverly funny.
She also had crabs.
You might say she was beside herself...
Loved those commercials as a kid. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
I remember that one--God first told it to me in 6th grade back in 10,000 BC.
easy to see why they were deleted tbf
Our dad was a Navy diver...they swam with sharks all the time...
I still can't get over "CORNER'S OFFICE"
When i was a kid i remember throwing a toy crocodile at my sister when she and her friend were watching Jaws. Scared her really well. I thought it was funny her not so much.
1:28 Laziest attempt at feeding dogs ever.
Continuity. The seagulls would be all over the body.
Everyone wants to be an islander lol😅
In the book when Hendricks, Brody and Cassidy find the remains of Christine's body, all three of them vomit.
Hours later, when Meadows joins Brody and has lunch, Brody is still too sick to eat much while Meadows has a huge lunch.
Interesting how the pacing of the movie changes
The original is so perfect and tight, I'm not sure I like this. Although I like leisurely directing giving time for characters to breathe and develop, I have to agree with Spielberg's choices here. The fence business for sure doesn't work, I'll say that.
@@rmcnabb Yes indeed, I totally agree. Perhaps I should have made myself clearer. I was thinking how just a small difference can alter the whole movie but not necessarily for the best. Now I’m thinking about watching the movie again as I haven’t watched it for a few years 🙂
I can see why they deleted that extra beach scene.
All these years later, I realized that they misspelled "Coroner" on the form that Brody types out
“Corners” have their own bars?!!😂😂😂
For everyone who laughs bec Audience was shocked then just by a few (and today harmless) scenes like Chrisies body, Gardeners head and the bitten-off leg must realise that til JAWS nobody shows that gore in cinema before, not even Chainsaw Massacre or Night of the living dead (both R Rated) shows more.
Same with Romeros Dawn of the Dead later, a few gorey scenes SHOCKED everybody bec nobody was prepared for that bloody details (compare 78 Dawn with the 2004 and you see the evolution of blood and violence and why these 70s movies are nothing today).
Shortly later the Cannibal and Fulci movies kicks gore and violence in incredible heights.
I like how the one crab falls from the sky.
Just watched it at the Absolutely packed Imax Theatre, certain scenes looked like this Movie Was made for the Imax, When I was 5 yrs My dad took me & my twin Brother to watch it on the silver screen A few weeks after it release, I don't know how I got past the usherat my Dad was the exact Double of Roy Schneider Everybody was looking at us
.."this is what happens..." always annoyed me.
Yesss!!!!!
Me too !!!
Most violent PG movie ever.
I can see why they cut them, they wouldn't have added anything to the final cut, they were just establishing shots, showing normal people living their normal lives, until....Unneeded scenes.

I never understood why her shark bitten body was found the next morning up between the sand dunes. Seems like the body would have been found semi floating along the shore against the waves.
She dragged herself up there with her remaining arm and last breaths.
Wait, was the hand that was in the sand from Chrissie when she was attacked from the Shark? 😳😳
@@zaki5061 Yes
And I thought her body had been buried in the sand And the crabs were on top
Corners office? LOL
At 6:52, it seems there is a movie error. In the "removed to" location, it should have been spelled "coroners" and on the sheet of paper, its spelled "corners."
Good catch..most people’s eyes are where he types in Shark Attack
You may be right, but I took it to be an “intentional typo” (pardon the seeming oxymoron) by a less than expert typist.
Another error a bit further on in the film..(which you might already be aware of)...when the town are at the meeting after the shark kills Alex Kintner, written on the board it states he was killed at the beach on the 30th June. Yet when Chief Brody is typing his report that morning after finding Chrissie his report states her death as 1st of July.🤨
Right now I'm with you I'll have to watch it again!
And then he had to deal with a haunted house! Spme guys just can't catch s break!
The continuity of the beach scene, the water changes from light and calm to choppy and windy in a handful of seconds.
That's called the "sea."
@@ginmar8134 it's not only the sea, which is why I said 'beach scene', it's the wind, sea, sky, it all changed rapidly, and not only in deleted scenes in Jaws. That's called "paying attention".
I could never figure out how if they had her torso how all that fit in that tiny little tin box that Richard Dreyfuss was looking in
thought she said bought in 2004 "house in the fall" - which would be strange 🤣
Someone tossed a crab?
Real talk. If Chrissy Watkins hadn’t decided to go skinny dipping at that specific location at that specific point in time, that shark probably would’ve just kept swimming till it hit Florida. Without that single act of idiocy, there’s no story. Then again, without it, Tippet might’ve lived until the late 80’s-early 90’s.
What, going swimming is idiocy? What do you think people go to the beach for?
@@texasred2702 - she was going swimming, in the ocean, hours after dark and by herself. Not only that, she went out far enough to be around the buoys. And, she did this without any gear: no fins, no goggles and no vest. So, yeah. I’d say her actions were pretty damn idiotic, but necessary for the story.
@@DetroitAlan01 Nobody with a functional brain swims at night in areas where shars are. But maybe in 75 the people didnt know so much about sharks we do now. And remember that she was drunken or bit high and ignores any risk
I can see why these scenes were deleted!
Does anyone notice how long it takes til the shark is REAL visible? That makes the Chrissie attack that horrifying that you have to imagine what happens under the surface...
