- Hooper is horrified when he finds Ben Gardener's carcass in his abandoned boat.
From Jaws (1975): When a young woman is killed by a shark while skinny-dipping near the New England tourist town of Amity Island, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist revenue will cripple the town. Ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and grizzled ship captain Quint (Robert Shaw) offer to help Brody capture the killer beast, and the trio engage in an epic battle of man vs. nature.

This jump scare scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. It's still a creepy scene, because you can only imagine the fear that Ben Gardner felt before Jaws got him.
Knowing he was alone and nobody was going to help him
@@SamuelBlack84 Didn't he have someone else in the boat with him when they got attacked by the shark?
@@LukeKetchum7003 I don't remember
@@LukeKetchum7003 Yes....but the fact is they all left in the group hunt. So, it's not clear whether that guy left with other groups after that false hunt or, stayed with Gardner and got eaten away as well.
Gardner must have witnessed something, that others didn't. They caught that massive shark maybe because it was another migrant (the autopsy scene by hooper reveals it) into the area but, it was already occupied by Bruce and surely, it was escaping from a cannibal Bruce which led to its capture by the teams. Gardner must have realized this, so he possibly would have stayed back and didn't tell anybody or else, they didn't mention about it to brody because they wanted to win the hunt anyhow.
@@LukeKetchum7003 I can say surely 99% from my knowledge, that it takes minimum 2 when venturing out on a uncertain and adventurous task. Most probably, Gardner wouldn't have dare to single handedly deal with the shark. By having a helper, he tried to achieve the vicious glory. But, he couldn't have minimum imagination what thing he was dealing with. By the time, Gardner would have tried to escape, it was too late.
It is certain from Quint's perspective and behavior, that fishermen of amity all took things recklessly and competed with each other for glory. Quint was the master fisherman in the locality, as he had many past experiences with shark attacks. But, they were all reckless in same way or so. If not for brody and hooper, quint's fate could be sealed much earlier by the demon shark as he would surely go into the shark's trap by running after it. Obviously, Gardner fell into the shark's trap.
The atmosphere, the mystery, the suspense, the build-up to the jump scare, this is how you do it.
I about fell out of bed when he jumped lol
The music as well
$3k well spent
You can hear someone scream. Was it the decapitated head?
@@brianbagnall3029 no one screamed, it was a sound effect for the jump scare. Hooper screamed afterwards though
I love how there’s almost no tension at all beforehand, it just comes out of nowhere. That right there is how you do a jump scare.
It's like a jumpscare that literally pierces your psyche the second it happens
The whole audience jumped when we watched this scene
Almost no tension? Just listen to the music.
That's not really right. The tension in the scene is there, but it's misdirection: the audience assumes that Hooper is in danger from the shark, that it's out there somewhere lurking in the darkness of the water. So internally you're wanting Hooper to hurry up, get on with it, get to safety. So when the true scare in the scene comes you're not expecting the form it takes at all.
looking back at this, its actually very predictable. yeah it probably wasnt in the 70s when it came out, but it definitely is now almost half a century later lmao
Hooper screaming underwater never gets old 😂
I'll never forget watching this movie in 1975 and this scene, in particular, solicited the loudest screams I've ever heard in a movie theater. It truly scared the living daylights out of the audience!
My dad saw this when he was 7, and jumped into his own fathers lap screaming his head off. Then said "I'm ready for my nap..."
Yo lo vi con 7 u 8 años. Todavía me acuerdo del bote que dí desde la silla del cine.
That's Awesome that you saw this in the Theatre when it came out. I watched it for the first time around 1988. One of the Greatest Movies of all time. Top 10 Hands down no debates. And John Williams was born in the same town as me Floral Park NY
At the theater in California now
Decades later, this scene is still bone chilling. The build up of suspense and the suddenness of the appearance of Ben Gardner's horribly severed head, with the look of sheer terror in his one remaining eye, must have induced many a nightmare. Sheer brilliance from a then 26 year old Steven Spielberg !
It's actually a misconception that Gardner's head has been severed. It's still attached to his body; it's just that it's lit far more brightly than the body.
That line from Hooper just before this: "Wait, there's something else out there..." - gets me in the pit of the stomach every time.
Hah, yes. That’s where the tension and dread starts building. Spielberg accentuates the line brilliantly by cutting and giving Hooper his own close-up when he says it.
@@Plathismo: Yes, and it all happened in someone's swimming-pool! Incredible film-making.
Every time I watch _Jaws,_ no matter how much I mentally prepare for it, that jump scare works every time.
The reveal of that bite mark in the side of the boat is spectacular
Since I was a kid, I reckon this was one of the scariest bits of the movie. I think it's the music and darkness, it's all so unsettling 😮
Ui
I agree, this movie helped give me fear of the ocean
I can’t imagine life without this masterpiece of a film 😪
There wouldn't be any life without this film.
The Earth would be a barrren wasteland, without Jaws
What’s scary about this scene is that it’s so dark that the shark could’ve been anywhere
Definitely the most terrifying reality. For all we know, the shark could’ve been circling them this whole time.
Great white sharks are day and nighttime hunters just shows how terrifying to just be swimming at night.
Exactly, that's the fear. Brody is telling Hooper all the time. Hooper is like "chill bro, I've got it, just don't touch anything".
Didn’t hooper have that radar that checked far out so maybe he could talk a quick swin
@@DreamArchitect He had radar, sonar and electric toothbrushes!
Gives me chills this scene. I live in an ocean town,and this is why I never swim after 5pm.
And we had a shark attack here just two days ago 😰😰
Jesus, they ok? What I mean is the person who got attacked ok?
Bro The scariest part of the movie and no shark
A lesson. Don't go swimming where dangerous sharks live
What kind of shark do you know?
Was it a great white?
I can watch this whole sequence 100 times, it always gives me the chills..especially when he starts swimming towards ben gardner's boat.
3:03 the water is yellow because he peed himself
I have seen hundreds of horror movies and TO THIS DAY this is still the most effective jump scare ever made. Also putting that image as the thumbnail is just cruel 🤣
The best jump scare in the whole of cinema
This scene is perfect with suspense. Their searching in the pirch black and then you see Ben's ship all alone. You knew what happened there and then you see the crash impacts. Genius music and story writting.
It wasn’t a crash
@@GreenFootCream I know but the shark crashed into it.
Jaws is a very scary film
Here's my theory on Ben Gardener's death: his boat got attacked by the shark and he tried to hide in underneath the boat but then the shark broke into the bottom which scared Ben Gardner so badly he died of shock.
I like the theory but my thing is a 25 ft shark and all he got off ben was his eyeball??🤔🤔
@@JoshuaAvery-gp5dm a fish probably ate his way through while Ben gardeners lifeless corpse was sitting there in the water for who knows how many days.
There was another guy on Ben's boat with him. We never see him again so I assume the shark knocked him off the side of the boat and ate him, terrifying Ben so he went under the deck, the shark starts busting through the side and he dies of shock
@@whereami2477 Or, he drowned
@@Shockzone1495 I’m gonna say it was about 2-3 days based off the movie’s context
My father was 10 when Jaws came out and he told me he and the whole family went to see it in a PACKED theater (“a**holes to elbows” as he put it) and he sat next to this big muscle head in a tank-top, short-shorts and a classic 70s handlebar mustache. My father said when Ben Gardner's head popped up on screen at 2:44, the big muscle head jumped jumped three feet out of his seat and coward next to his wife.
This is literally scientifically the most effective jump scare ever speilberg used the best possible timing on it that it always gets you even when you know whats coming
Jaws evokes a very primal horror.
Large predators that can physically outmatch us is probably our oldest fear.
Masterfully done. No matter how many times I watch Jaws, this scene somehow manages to catch me off guard every single time.
Is no one seriously talking about Hooper's skill being able to hold his breath for that long underwater?
He is a marine biologist
@@fisher3317 If he's a marine biologist he shouldn't have gone in the ocean knowing there's a big fish in the area. Dave
David Frost,
He had a fish finder. There was nothing around for a fair distance. Very little chance of the shark suddenly appearing.
2:44 When the us coast guard finds the crew of the missing titan sub😂😂
They aired Jaws yesterday at my local theater, and when this scene showed i almost had a heart attack! I already saw this movie on DVD but seeing this on the big screen feels very different, truly a magnificent experience!
Art is beautiful
In my town, some people I knew really well had this movie playing for free in town. When this scene came around… I saw at least 10 different people jump, including myself! This is still the most effective scare in the whole movie XD
@@lbskysword9545 not only the most effective jumpscare in the movie but one of the most effective jumpscares in the history of horror cinema! Everytime i try to watch this movie, this scene still gets me!
I always jumped when I saw this part. 😅😂🤣😆😝
I crapped my shorts when I saw this
Saw this (for the millionth time) at AMC the other day for a special Jaws screening in 3D. My friend who had never seen the movie literally jumped out of his skin / seat at this. Still holds up to this day!!!
The last time I saw this movie was almost 18 years ago but I went to see it in IMAX today and this scene made me and a bunch of other people scream lol
OMG I did that on Imax yesterday at Ashford and it was amazing
I saw this movie in 3D at the theater today. I love the ocean and animals so the whole movie didn't scare me. When I saw this scene- when I tell you my glasses fell off and I screaming I'm not lying 😭😭😭
We'll Ill be God Damned that scene still got me I was prepared for it and everything 😂
I saw this at the cinema late December 1975!at the ABC Bournemouth.. this scene made everyone at the cinema jump 😵 I hug she never experienced any thing like it since. At the end of the movie almost everyone stood up and applauded 😎
True story: The first time I saw this movie was at my cousin's house. I was 11. And when I saw this scene, I was so scared that it kept me up all night.
this was the perfect jumpscare scene in a killer shark movie, none of the other shark movies could top this jumpscare
This scene terrified me so much. I don't think I actually voluntarily watched it until I was like 16 or 17. I used to hide when I was little. My dad would sometimes tell me it's over and right as I walked out, boom, Ben Gardners head
I was 6 years old when i seen this film and it still freaks me out that jump scare scene 😳
To this day this one moment put me off of seeing Jaws. I remember as an 11/12 year old re-watching this at a friends sleepover party. We did a film marathon and everyone else was asleep by this point. I remember seeing this scene and having the fright of my life. Made it worse walking around the house to go to the toilet and his dog making me jump in the pitch black 😂 Good, but a traumatic memory!
Got to see this with a live audience today. Six people screamed - this jump scare works way better than the shark reveal for me
Best sudden corps effect in movie history. Now, I notice that the scare is caused by the weird sound, as if the corps is shrieking at you......and together with the head movements it looks like it's alive even while dead......just brilliant.
This and the hallway scene from Exorcist 3 are probably the two best jumpscares in horror movie history.
I've always loved the music in this scene, creepy it really gets you in the movie, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss are fantastic in this scene, thank you John Williams, your music really made an impact
11/22
Every single damn time it gets me!
This is literally the best scene in the entire movie, because it’s so different from what we’ve been presented before hand. The music, the lighting, the atmosphere, it feels so different
I could write an essay on why it’s so good.
When I watched this scene I was so scared, the suspense and darkness just makes it the best jumpscare ever
I lived near the ocean for years and boated frequently, after I watched this, anytime I went out after nightfall I was terrified I’d encounter something like this especially on near pitch black nights.
This scene always had me jump scared as a kid to this day is still does. This is by far the scariest scene in Jaws.
One of The Greatest Jump Scares In Cinema History Amazing
Watched this movie for the first time last week. Screamed my head off at this scene.
I saw this movie in IMAX this past weekend and there was this girl sitting next to me who I could tell was watching this film for the first time. She jumped in her seat here and during the "You're gonna need a bigger boat" scene lol.
I think this was the only scene that actually scared me when I first watched Jaws
This scene gave me nightmares when I was a kid....
Kinda ironic how a movie about a killer great white shark terrorizing a small town’s scariest scene doesn’t come from the shark itself.
This is easily the scariest scene in Jaws
1:12 that shot and the music tone, holy crap makes your imagination run wild on what craziness happened.
This is such an amazing but simple jumpscare
This is what horror films fail at nowadays; they just throw jump scares and loud noises at you constantly; no build up, no tension, no realism
Jaws: “Hey, you can’t prove that was me! That evidence is purely circumstantial!”
Bro when you first see him come out of the shadows in the whole of the bait he looks like Michael Myers lol
I canNOT believe how casually he just puts on his flippers and is like, "yeah, I'm just gonna swim on over and have a look" as though the entirety of the movie up to that point hadn't happened.
I remember in August, 1975 when i saw this the first time, the whole theater (about 300 ppl) jumped up and out of their seats when Ben Gardner's head appeared...lol.
The First Time I Watched This Scene I Did Get a Jump scare in 2007 Hahahaha and Still Do To This Day Whenever I Watch “Jaws”!
Best jumpscare ever!!! The music is on point...the atmosphere so good!!! Hooooper!!!
The clip teaches us that the ocean is a forbidden realm,the shark rules it and humans shouldn’t be in it.
Powerful clip.
the best movie ever made
It’s like a national treasure
indeed
Edgymoji yessir
tracy mapanao yes
My number one film of all time.
2:44 - hard-2-belive this intense moment was an 11th hour afterthought! According the DVD bonus features Spielburg said "I can get one more scream outta this" and arranged for this scene to be shot in a swimming pool!
The musical sequence is just incredible
Disclaimer: this is a joke, don’t take this seriously!
Everyone: eww Ben Gardner’s head!
Me: Aww! A miniature octopus found its new home in Ben Gardener’s eye socket! ❤️
Aww home is where the missing eye is 😉
This is…without question…one of the scariest scenes in any movie 🎥 I’ve ever seen. Had nightmares about this for over a decade.
When I was a kid, we had a shark bath toy. And when I first watched this scene, my dad made that toy bite my toe. I still think it’s the scariest scene in Jaws.
I jumped in 1975 when I saw this , and still jump to this day when I watch the movie, what with Spielbergs fantastic directing and John Williams masterpiece of a score , this has to be one of cinema's greatest ever jumpscares , a classic horror movie that still delivers the scares to this day
Seriously, that face, in the darkness of a movie theater, must have scared the beejesus of the audience!
Jaws was just Hungry for an Eyeball that night
The cool things about grisly discovery scenes in horror films is knowing that the killer is still out there meanwhile as this is going on and this scene is a perfect example
Fun fact originally Spielberg had this moment and it did not get as big of a scare as he thought it should. So he spends 3 thousand bucks and reshoots this scare in a pool with a gallon of milk and it worked
Exactly and it was done in the pool of editor Verna Fields.
Whats the gallon of milk for?
@@SmokinKlocksSorry its been a while, I recently re-watched the video,
Steven Spielberg used powdered milk in the swimming pool they reshot this in, the milk simulated the murky water in Martha's Vinyard, since the pool water wouldn't look the same as the water around Martha's Vinyard
I find it very amusing that this movie has the same MPAA rating as "Shrek."
Originally it received an R rating but Spielberg and the producers successfully appealed for it to be changed to a PG because the violence in the film can’t really be imitated by kids, since it’s a shark doing it. An interesting argument that would never fly with the more squeamish ratings board of today.
This was the most scary scenes in this movie 🎬. What a classic this is , this is never boring or old . Also what's creepy that it leaves you to imagine what happened to Ben as his death was offscreen that also makes it creepy . There will never be good movies like this anymore absolutely 💯 one of the best of all time .
Gardner went out on his boat with an assistant but they were a part of that fleet of boats that caught the tiger shark. So when did gardner get attacked by the great white? I would assume he decided to stay out in the ocean while the rest of the fleet went back to shore with the smaller shark? Or maybe he came to shore with them but later headed out again alone?
I just love that this movie is such an experience because everyone on the planet is scared to be eaten by a giant beast
True story when my mom and her sisters saw this in theaters with their grandma in the 70s, they had this
big bucket of the butter popcorn. Right when they got jump scared by the head, they screamed throwing the bucket up in the air covering the people in the row in front of them with popcorn.
Mom told me this story and how she refused to take a bath after seeing the movie.
Love this scene, no scenes to show what happened..... just your imagination
Fun fact: Ben Gardner greeted Hooper two times in the movie, and each time got him out of the water pretty quick 😂
I remember throwing myself across the room away from the screen when that happened.
Let me preface this by saying Jaws is my favorite movie of all time and I’ve literally seen it hundreds of times. But this scene creates the biggest plot hole in the movie, so here’s the explanation …..
So after Brody and Hooper dissect the tiger shark on the dock and realize the Kitner boy isn’t in the shark they go out at dark looking for the shark. They obviously come across Gardner’s boat as Brody says,”Ben Gardeners boat, that’s Ben Gardners it’s all banged up… sure I know him, he’s a fisherman…. What happened?”
Hooper: “Look Martin I gotta go down there and check their hull….”
Blah blah blah he goes down and of course finds the tooth “the size of a shot glass” before Ben Gardner rolls out of the hull of the boat, causing Hooper to drop the tooth.
Cut scene to The next day before the Fourth of July when Brody and Hooper are talking to the mayor on the beach about what they found the night before… most specifically the tooth that he pulls out of the hull of the boat.
Absolutely no mention that Ben Gardner‘s ass is completely fucking dead and the mayor has no interest in hearing/seeing the boat that was towed in the night before (perhaps it sank when they towed it in the night before; although I have seen worse shape boats get towed in). His only concern is the tooth that was lost.
Everyone on the island knows Ben Gardner because he’s a fisherman. Wouldn’t you think the fact that he’s nowhere to be seen on the island along with his destroyed boat would raise a huge red flag to the mayor?! But no, Chief Brody and Hooper don’t even mention seeing Ben Gardner’s dead body to the mayor… only the tooth
The size of a shot glass, that was pulled out of the boats hull. Makes 0 sense. Major
Plot hole.
👽 you have to watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind to understand Jaws, the Spielbergverse
2:44 scares me every time
I think what happened is that Bens boat was attacked and Ben fell into the bottom on the boat which was full of water. He then drowned and the shark left him. A fish got his eye.
2:44 what made me not scared of this scene was when I used to be friends with this guy and back in school I suddenly started to sing "I'm popeye the sailor man" eversince then, great as this scene is, it no longer scares me 😂
I can only imagine seeing this for the first time in a packed theater back in the 70s. Everyone must’ve damn near had a heart attack lol
OMG i Couldn’t Imagine and The Jump Scare is Perfect As a Fan of This Movie Since 2007!
I was scared as a kid when I watch this scene
Me and my sisters watched this at night and got so caught off guard
Originally, Spielberg wanted the biggest scare to be when Brody was chumming the waters and the shark burst out. He hoped that would get the biggest scream. But when he did this scene, it got a huge scream from audiences, so that later when the shark burst from the water, the audiences were more prepared. Spielberg learned a lesson in scary film-making from this movie.
Enjoyed it in the theatre in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Kimmyssong
The noise makes it scary
creepy as you know something's going to happen , cacked it as a kid lol
The head popping out the boat, was actually filmed in a swimming pool.
This is the scariest part in jaws
2:48 ...Ah, so that's what happened to Harold Holt!
I always close my eyes when the head comes out! It's so scary! I think it scarred me as a kid the first time I saw this. 😱😱😱😱😱
This scene traumatized me when I saw the movie in the theater some 48 years ago -- frick it was that long ago -- and although I have watched Jaws countless times. It was probably not until the 1990s that I would not fast forward past it if I was watching it at home.
The fear doesn't set in until you realise the shark is in that water
