It feels like there are so many kids in the comments. Bruce is supposed to represent our fears of the unknown. That's why Bruce is so unnatural so monstrous. Quint hunts sharks because of his fear, Brody had a reason of his own personal fears of the ocean. Dreyfuss was driven by curiosity, which is what we all have when it comes to thinking what roams in the ocean. The random zooms on the horizon of the ocean in all of the Jaws movie are deliberate, all to make you wonder what is out there
Saint AK_47 nailed it. The end. The book is about Brody, Hooper and Quint. Their back stories and fears. It’s not even about the shark really. It’s our primal fears. Folks, Bruce was a Great White. 25ft in the book, 25ft in the movie. There are Great Whites now that are larger than that. They didn’t Godzilla the shark FFS :) Best. Movie. Ever. Just sayin.
True. I think people are overspeculating about the shark's origins. Like, some people theorized it was a baby Megalodon (Why would you, please don't). It clearly was meant to be a normal great white shark, not a unnatural monster or a genetic mutation.
Bruce is a male too in the movie Jaws. In Jaws 2 it was a female, Bruce’s mate. Then Jaws 3D, it was a female again. And finally Jaws the revenge, it was a male, Bruce’s son. There’s Dany too in Jaws 3D, the son of the Jaws 3D and Jaws the revnege shark.
Bruce is the Micheal Myers of sharks. He has no reason to his madness, or anything the human mind can understand. He just simply is what he is, a force of nature. And that to me is what’s scariest of all.
That just sounds ridiculous. Bruce is taking a lot of unnecessary punishment to get what amounts to a relatively small meal. A real vicious predator would even retreat if it sustains too many injuries to continue. Animals don't kill on purpose. The "force of nature" thing would only make sense if Bruce was actually a supernatural servant and guardian of the ocean sent to punish humans who dare to desecrate the ocean in any way. Michael Myers kills because of a Celtic curse. How else does he survive severe injuries? Being a killer doesn't automatically make you superhuman.
@@kidprime6863 Funny how you say the word “ridiculous” but then go on to prove my point. And you don’t have to be a servant of something to be a supernatural killer in movies. And for the record, that Michael Myers reference you used, was something which came out of what’s known as the Thorn Trilogy (Halloween 4-6). Those three movies are an entirely different timeline, and thus aren’t canon. Michael Myers in the first movie was a blank slate, hence why he’s known as “The Shape”. Just like Bruce is a blank slate in his own right.
@@a.w.sawtooth9469 I'm just saying that the reason they kill can't ALWAYS be "just because". Personally I believe Bruce is either a Megalodon, a US Navy experiment gone horribly wrong or a supernatural spirit. US Navy experiment would actually make a whole lot of sense because maybe they gave the shark some type of experimental steroid that boosts its strength and durability but also pumps its aggression and hunger to make it the perfect marine weapon. At least the Thorn Trilogy made sense. I hate the "killer has inhuman durability and/or strength" troupe. If the killer isn't a wild animal, an actual monster, undead, supernaturally or genetically engineered or enhanced but just a typical knife-wielding maniac, then they can be killed by shooting decapition, burning and dismemberment. The troupe is basically plot armor. In other words, The Michael Myers from all movies outside the Thorn Trilogy can be killed by conventional means like getting bisected from head to groin.
Jaws from the movie was definitely something more evil. I think some of the characteristics we saw of Jaws, is a mixture of normal shark-like behavior and something more sinister. It's as if some evil entity, beast, Leviathan, etc, lived inside the Sharks body being influenced by the Sharks nature. For example, going after the boy on the raft instead of swimmers is a case of mistaken identity for seals (unless you make the presumption Jaws attacked the kid because he knew it was a kid, then yea that's even worse). But there was definitely something more going on. Something eviler and the introduction of the movie pretty much says it all too me. To this very day, that introduction scene still gives me the chills. Every time I watch that scene, in the beginning, getting eaten and screaming out "Please God, No, God Please, NO!" You know from that very moment it's something evil and not just your average shark.
Absolutely, Bruce subsists purely on human fear. We know this because of the people he chooses to kill. Firstly, he stalks and kills a lone girl, which is something that all females are deathly afraid of. Not to mention, he plays with her in an attempt to generate the most amount of fear possible before he kills. Secondly, he kills a little boy. Many young children are afraid of monsters hunting them down. Despite many theorists saying otherwise, Bruce chose Alex Kitner for the same reason he killed Chrissie, to feed on his fear. Bruce also killed the Estuary man because he knew that sudden danger appearing in a seemingly safe place would generate the most terror. Finally we come to Quint. Quint was easily the most scared of all the characters due to his experience on the USS Indianapolis, making him an especially tasty snack for Bruce. Essentially, Bruce (in my opinion) is a demonic entity, like Pennywise in Stephen King’s “It”, that feeds on the terror and pain of the innocent and vulnerable.
I like the gigantism theory. But did you know, sharks are few of the only spices in the animal kingdom that actually don't stop growing until they die?! They grow slowly though.
Rodney Falberg I agree with this a lot. I think Bruce was just a large great white. I think he was just attracted to humans because of the mistake of identity, noises, and even the chum off the boat from brody
Bruce has claspers, so it is male. And since the 3 men chummed the water, it lured the shark to their direction. They were trying to lure it to them, not avoid it!
They call Bruce him in the movie and in the book and he had claspers most fans consider Bruce male. Jaws 2 was female some said it was his sister or mate which shows the silliness the franchise would dive into.
WoodLandGamers Well, you have to take into account that Bruce was the name Spielberg gave the mechanical shark and wasn't intended to be an official name.
xyzvision yes, and also pertaining to the Ron and Valerie Taylor footage in the movie of the shark circling the cage , there is one clip of the shark’s underside; revealing its claspers or male sex organs of the elasmobranch family. It may have been coincidence that the Taylors just happened to film a male shark that day where they got a shot of the claspers on one of them. They did, I believe film more than one great white in Australia for the cage sequence in the movie. And of course the water was surely baited with chum and tuna to invite more than one shark.
Generally, old age is not a reason for sharks to kill humans like it is for tigers, lions or leopards, themselves man-eaters suffering from advanced age like in so many incidents. Regardless, the shark in Jaws could have been very old; in real life, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute has shown that great whites can live to be at least 72 years old. It would not be surprising if Bruce was at least 80+ years old.
As a kid, my dad told me that Jaws might just be evil itself. So growing up I just assumed everyone also thought this was a possibility. But now that I'm older I see most people just thought it was a very aggressive shark. I think my dad was ahead of his time haha
Bruce is a descendent of its prehistoric ancestor The Megladon. It's still very odd though that Bruce devolped intelligence and the taste for human flesh.
The shark looks amazing in the estuary attack. It looks rough and ugly and mean. Very organic. I've always thought it looked a little too "Clean" and perfect on its first appearance in the film. Considering the estuary attack was shot at the very end of the schedule this makes sense. It has had months of being beaten up and it works in its favor.
To follow up the Leviathan theory, Bruce / Every Jaws Shark does seem to show up whenever the waters are relatively warm so that could explain the whole warm breath heating up the ocean
Because of it's abnormal size, malicious behaviour and hunger for especially humans, I always also thought it couldn't be just a regular great white shark.
Well it was established to be just a predator. It was only after when it outright went out of its way to hunt the orca despite it clearly being dangerous that something truly was off if Bruce. He clearly showed sentience as only sentience would override instinct. Or he was used to severe pain.
look up the vid with the real shark deep blue and then watch bruce he is almost the exact same size meaning no he ain't no megalodon BUT he is the largest Great white ever in his universe i.e the jaws verse the others after him was also as or even larger especially jasw 3's Shark was vastly larger if i am not mistaken
Perhaps Bruce is a Great white with gigantism. I agree with that. But I have a theory on why he chooses to go after the three men: Competition. He saw them as an enemy trying to take his food.
See, not to me. I think the first half is scarier because no one is fighting back. Really the only difference between an action movie and a horror movie is that in action movies the protagonist fights back. There were tense moments in the 2nd half but, to me at least, the first half was where most of the horror was. I did get the sense that the shark was more intelligent than it ought to be but that merely made it more interesting as the heroes vied for victory over it. It wasn't just a fishing trip: it was a real fight.
"The second half of the film is somewhat scarier because you get the sense, or at least I did, that when they looked at Bruce's eyes, there was somebody home in there" Damn. Jaws is my favorite movie of all time. I have to have watched it at least about a hundred times as I'm typing this. This sentence is so chilling, so very disturbing and dammit... I have to agree. Well done @ReviewCam, the next time I watch it I'm going to have this on my mind the whole time.
This my theory, there’s a phenomenon in marine biology known as Abyssal Gigantism, whereas an animal who spends its life in darkness grows to immense size. Perfect examples include the Giant and colossal Squid, oarfish, And giant deepwater Sharks. Perhaps Bruce is a rogue but with genetic mutations considering g the sharks jawline has jowls, immense strength.
@@lemmythebulldog8812 I believe Bruce and his kin were evolved Megalodons. The Bruce line were physically larger than normal great whites, bulkier, heavier, and have facial features that was not normal for normal white sharks. Evolution can go many ways for a animal. Just becuase a animal that was a giant in the past would mean its a giant in the present. A variant of the Meg could have evolved into smaller sharks. Physical changes would result in them adapting to new roles but some physical features would still be present. Such as perhaps odd looking cheek muscles flaps at the jaws that you don't see in any White Sharks but probably would exist for a animal that used to hunt whales and needed extra strength to bite through whale bone.
Great video! Even as a kid I always assumed Bruce was a leviathan. Some kind of supernatural mix of shark and monster. It looks and acts so sinister that it cannot be mistaken for a normal shark. Both Hooper and Quint, both experts on sharks, have never seen any shark do what this one does. It shares these traits with other movie monsters. They have supernatural strength, intelligence, foresight. Always at the right place at the right time. They enjoy terrorizing their victims and make sure to demonstrate their intent.

the jaws wiki poses two theories: 1. Because the great white shark depicted in Jaws did not appear to look like a typical great white shark, it has been suggested by fans that this shark was in fact a mutated beast rather than a genetically perfect Great white shark specimen. This would also account for its maniacal personality and traits depicted in the film in so far as outward "rogue" behavior. This however is pure speculation. 2. Proponents believe this shark as well as the other sharks depicted in the sequels possessed supernatural powers and could not have been destroyed, in much the same way Jason in the 'Friday the thirteenth' film series could not.....also in the novellization of the 4th film....the shark was under control of Voodoo as revenge gainst the Brodi family (god damn thats dumb)
also the shark in Jaws 2 (dumb) was said to be the mate of Bruce in the first film and the shark in Jaws The Revenge (dumbest of dumb) was their offspring....dumb dumb dumb
the best theory is that Bruce is just a freakishly large and very old and aggressive Great White- attacking the boat was not a specific attack but just shear reckless aggression and power for an old shark with nothing left to lose.
i particularly like this theory because it makes Bruce the counter part to Quint- both are near the end of there lives and are reckless in pursuit of their objective.
well in the movie Jaws 4 the shark seem to have a weird connection with the shark, definitely psychic. It's either voodoo or it's the ghost of the original. lol
Nobody ever including the Meg film itself ever said it was Better than Jaws but the Meg is still dumb popcorn fun but Jaws will remain the king of Shark films.
It is a family of sharks. Jaws Bruce is a male. 2 its Bruces lady shark, pregnant for revenge. 3 is a Child of the mother Shark, going for the child of Brody. 4 is Bruces Mother, out for her revenge against The mother of the series Mrs. Brody. This is the known tale, of eye for an eye, which the protagonist wins. GG
1 bruce, 2 bruce mate or mother 3 big shark not connected to the other two 4 offspring of either bruce or his mother. likely the mother because of the brother killing a brother for a brother being killed by micheal seans brother and ellen his mother.
I deleted the comment but the technically I said more because the younger one didn't really kill anyone, it just kind of got into the park and died in captivity, but triggered it's mother entering the park. But yeah, actually there are 2 sharks in Jaws 3, not just the big one.
Inspired, and reminds me of what James Rolfe said about Jaws: "they missed the point, they made it too good." The point being that if this movie was made in the 1950's, it would have been in good company among all sorts of animals blown up to inflated proportions. No explanation needed, just it's a villain, so it's big... It also leaves me thinking of the Stargate Universe episode "The Hunt", in which a similar huge creature is initially dismissed as unintelligent: "There's nothing special about this thing. It's a monster..." and "I can't stand the thought of being eaten alive. When the time comes, you will?" and similar. Check it out if possible!
I like the idea of Bruce being a megalodon, but it’s probably not true, mostly the fact that the Jaws series doesn’t really seem like it would go into that territory and most people probably won’t accept it.
I've always believed that Bruce was a freak of nature, the shark equivalent of a maniac. I mean, you get crazy people in the human world, so why not in the animal one? Plus the Jaws novel gave me that impression too, it almost felt to me that Bruce had always been a loner. Like he was so screwed up that even other White sharks would be scared of him/wouldn't accept him. I completely agree with the theory that he had a mutation and wasn't like other White sharks genetically. You only have to look at his body, he was a lot more bulkier than a regular Great White. Normal Great Whites are more streamlined and more torpedo-like. Bruce was like a battering ram! I believe that on the odd occasion you will get a person in the world that is born evil, like there was a certain part of their brain that didn't develop properly or something. Well Bruce for me is the shark equivalent of that, which would also explain his power, as a lot of serial killers etc have been known to have almost superhuman strength. So yeah, to wrap it up, Bruce: Maniac Shark! Sounds like the title of a really dodgy B movie doesn't it?! 😂
True story. Back in 1982 my grandfather caught the first great white to be landed in the state of Maryland, off of ocean city. It was early in the morning, but he could see the lights and hear people at the inlet rides early in the night while they were drifting. So just a few miles off shore. Sound does travel on water. The shark they pulled in Was around 10 feet. But just before that, they had released a much larger shark. A great white. After fighting it for 4 hours and bringing it alongside his boat, it began thrashing and was dangerously close to swamping his boat, a 21 foot sea hawk center console. Both he and the other three men on board claimed it was at least 3 feet larger then the boat itself. So they had no qualms cutting it loose. Seriously. Fuck that. Remember also, this was back in 82 when conservation was not what it is today. And my grandfather as I knew him (I lived with my grandparents from age 4-17) was never one to tell fish tales.
I think the prop being inaccurate worked really well. Bruce didn't look like a normal great white, which is what got me as a child. He looked like a steam train.
Bruce to me is one of those sharks I think did not get along with other sharks and ate them which is what made him so huge and I definetley believe it was extremely territorial and there was no other predators in the area to combat it
This is why I think there is still life left in the Jaws franchise. There should be a film that tries to explain just what the sharks in the Jaws films really are they are huge they are super aggressive and seem to love hunting and eating people the films they don't seem like completely natural predators there's loads left to be explained.
No more Jaws, please. the sequels to the original PROVED that the first one was absolutely lightning in a bottle. A once in a lifetime film that came at the right place, the right time, and scared the fuck out of people. A remake, prequel, sequel, or television show would just be silly.
The dock being ripped apart may have a simple explanation. It is possible that years of weather & water splashing, could have weakened the dock, to the point where Bruce easily ripped it apart.
In the original Peter Benchley novel, Amity Island had a lot of crime and corruption going on with the mafia and the town’s mayor. I like the idea of Bruce being something more supernatural and malevolent.
One think I like about you and your vids is that you have this passion and believability in your descriptions. Using this video as an example, even if you are wrong about Bruce about video you gave a different perspective and it's a view I hold. It's the feeling that Bruce, just like a Lovecraft monster, is hidden, ageless, and seemingly impossible in the realms of science. To quote lovecraft in Dunwich Horror "this is where all realism left and pure fantasy began" Your video also evokes the original trailer to JAWS very well. And quoting the story of the Leviathan really captures my imagination. As all mythological and theological texts are all descriptors of man trying to make sense of the seemingly impossible. Bruce did come from the Dark and in my mind the paradise of Amity Island was violated by its Maw. Even the three men, the continuation of civilizations ancient heroes feared the possible damnation of being taken by such spawn. Look forward to more videos
Perhaps Jaws exists in the same continuity as Peter Benchley's White Shark (1994) (= the 1997 TV miniseries Creature) and Bruce is an escaped survivor of the same bioweapon program, hybridising sharks with humans and other creatures = either created by the Nazis (novel) or by the US government during the Cold War (TV).
Thats a damn good cannon concept for a possible BenchleyVerse...;BTW I love how you know it was called White Shark before the TV movie, I have an original copy of the book before they changed the title for the miniseries.
I'm glad you put up the reasons why megs are very likely to not be around.. Sadly one fact that escapes most people is the Megalodon isn't as closely related to great whites as previously thought.
I've always considered JAWS or Bruce as The King Kong of Sharks, like he was mythical Shark that existed for many years and decided to go on a killing frenzy in the waters of Amity Island
Even within the context of the movie, it’s an aberrant shark. Both Quint and Hooper had studied/hunted them for years and they both had never seen one behave this way.
WoodLandGamers he pulled barrels that are supposed to keep him from going deeper underwater down with him. I've seen sharks have this done to them they never went deeper underwater
Harvey Witt theres a passage in the book that suggests you are right when the "Great Fish" expends so much energy trying to eat some lobsters it is aware that it wasn't worth it. says alot about the novels human drama that I remember that.
I watched a documentary over 10 years ago about great white sharks and there was one segment about a father and son fishermen who claim they almost caught a 30 foot great white shark that they nicked named SUBMARINE. Reason why they didn't catch her was because they actually had her on a hook but they were on a little 15 foot fishing boat and Submarine was apparently 30 feet which means she was double the size of the boat they were on and they had no choice but to let her go cause she was so big and powerful that she was gonna pull the boat underwater if they hadn't released her, wonder if its true or not
I heard about Submarine, sometimes its fun to think that these stories are true even if they are embellished. Possibly the shark was 20 or 15 feet long but it makes a much more interesting story if it was 30
Submarine wasn't 30 feet, she was about 23 feet. The boy and father that encountered the shark were was Theo Ferreira and his son, shark expert Craig Anthony Ferreira. Craig Ferreira wrote two books on the encounters with Submarine, both of which you can get for Kindle. The first was called "Great White Sharks on their Best Behavior". The second was called "The Submarine: The True Story of a Giant Great White Shark."
Yes I remember her well ..I was in the navy we used to pick her up on our sonar in False Bay .. I know 2 people both good friends who had encounters..one was off Macasa beach other was off the coast of Kalk bay. It's true the stories about the Submarine she was massive ... doubt 30 foot but probably 23ish would be a good estimate ... 25 at a stretch.
4:20 I believe the mayor closed the beaches for the time Broady, Quint, and Hooper, were out at sea, so the beach would be completely empty, and the only humans, that are available are the ones on the orca Boat, and since being a mere mortal great white shark, that grew a taste for human flesh, would have no choice but to go for the ones on the boat.
That is precisely what Bruce is, a fiction. No doubt that Bruce’s enormity and strength are something to fear, but what really makes Bruce frightening is actually his intelligence. This was a “shark” that was strategic, who, as you pointed out, was aware of humans trying to kill him and was forced to respond, and not like an ordinary animal, but calculatedly. In many “Top Horror Films” lists by movie critics, film websites, and review panels, “Jaws” is often cited up there, not just because it was masterfully shot that way by Steven Spielberg, but also because of Bruce himself, whose behaviors and characteristics are very much more closely aligned with that of a human serial killer than an oceanic predator. And this is what makes Bruce a fiction (as you said, the most realistic embodiment of the leviathan). To put it how my old Anatomy Professor put it, “Jaws” is to marine biology what “Jurassic Park” is to genetics. Is it completely 100% impossible that we will find mosquitos from millions of years ago who have, by infinitesimal odds, been carefully preserved in amber (or by other means) AND on top of that, whose digestive systems have somehow retained the unbroken and untampered DNA of dinosaurs that it fed on? And! Lastly, whose DNA structures happen to have compatible link matches with modern amphibians (or any animal) that are so perfect we are able to accurately re-create them in a lab with the same physical and physiological features as they did millions of years ago? To a point that their diets, lifespans, or even something as basic as moving are not affected as a result of mutation? The answer is, of course, no, this is not completely 100% impossible, but it is so abysmally against the odds (like 99.indefinite 9% unlikely) that you may as well say that Jurassic Park is impossible (at least the way it’s illustrated in the film, a theme park with living dinosaurs that we breed like zoo animals that don’t die after two weeks). Likewise with Jaws, is it completely 100% impossible that we will find a shark that is so frighteningly intelligent that it is strategic about its hunt, that it distinctly knows/remembers its prey by their faces and voices, that it knows how to execute countermeasures in a fight, that it can figure out when it’s being manipulated, and can respond with deceptions of its own? Of course this is not 100% impossible (I mean, come on, humanity has only ever explored 5% of the Earth’s ocean), but, so far as science is concerned with the data it does have, the odds of finding a shark of this level intelligence is so abysmally low, we may as well say that it’s impossible. Bruce is a fiction, but as with many iconic killers in cinema, a well-showcased one.
If the world moved to a predominantly plant diet, we would probably start seeing even bigger fishes in our waters more frequently, since their access to food would increase substantially and the pollution would go down as well.
I for one know about Mary Lee because i live on Cape Cod year round...!!! And she's a MASSIVE female White Shark but doesn't even come close to Deep Blue's size in Mexico. However, i do feel there must be White Sharks out there bigger then Deep Blue. Nothing was mentioned here about the famous "Submarine" in South Africa. Who many fishermen claim to have seen and reported at a size between 25-30+ft...!!! I do believe Submarine exists or should i say did exist. But one must realize the length of time it takes for a shark to obtain these massive sizes. The 20ft female "Deep Blue" is a reported 50yrs old...!!! So were talking about a VERY few sharks out there that are "possibly" bigger then her much less still alive. However, since we know more about or moon's surface then what's under the water. Anything could be lurking out there without us knowing about it. Giant squids for example of massive proportions and most definitely new species yet to be discovered.
I do feel like he is a mutant Shark because he did a smart movie when he attack Hooper. Like he saw him with the poison and he thought I know Ill swim around and ambush him.
Its actually not unusual. Indeed its natural behavior for a Great White to Ambush potential prey. Great Whites routinely ambush seals specifically from underneath where they can't see them. The shark did the same thing to Hooper. Except from the back not underneath. the Shark knew exactly how this prey hunted.
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent exactly. Great White sharks are primarily ambush predators. Their color patterns make that an ideal tactic for them, they also prefer to hunt in murky water.
People like you make a bigger deal about something that wasn't intended, just so that they can get views on UA-cam. I honestly think Steven Spielberg and Peter Benchley would just laugh in your face when you mention the Leviathan.
@@yoshidinono8095 im laughing at your face bc you get so triggered over something i do as a hobbie and make no money off of. Try getting an imagination you will be more pleasant to be around
I remember when I was a kid, I assumed Bruce was some kind of mutant shark that also had common sense. Hence it’s size, strength and strangely evil personality.
Maybe he was like a transient that has no rules, like male transient orcas that travel without a pod. But instead hunt away from the pod and seek out vulnerable creatures. Maybe there are sharks that hunt away from the more normal prey. And target things not normally on their menu, because it is easy. One experienced Australian shark guy says so many sharks are attacking dolphins and humans because of overfishing and he finds it evil than they are killing creatures they should not be like the dolphins and us.
There are so many movie goers you always wanted to know how they make it looks so real.... With Special Effects, mechanical engineering, and making Jaws etc.....but once you know the secret Then there's nothing to be afraid of.....
Bruce was originally from Venice (muscle-Beach) California... and after (years) of feeding on swimmers who where on steroids he grew to immense size but the food supply ran low and Bruce roamed the globe for more food until he came to the island.
I'm an original 'Jaws' kid. I read the book before the movie came out. It was 1974 and I was eleven. Peter Benchly never explicitly says so, but he sure does implicate that Bruce is far more clever than the average fish. Quint tells Brody "These things don't have the brains God gave a dog.", yet Bruce continually outwits him with a seeming intelligence. There is a malevelence implied in the way Bruce shows off Hooper's dead body to Brody and Quint. The movie carries it further, in my opinion, which makes sense; Bruce isn't JUST a shark, he is a monster, and, I believe, a very old one too. I have often considered Bruce to be the last of the great Universal Monsters, but I won't argue the point with anyone. It's certainly a far out opinion, I know. To me, Bruce IS malevelent. He feeds on human beings, and is really good at it. I think he's been doing it a long before coming to Amity Island. He's suspiciously large for a male Great White, indicating great age. He's covered with scars, indicating battles fought before. Who knows? Africa? Australia? The Mediterranean? Where has he terrorized before? How many more men before Brody, Hooper, and Quint went to sea to try to kill him? I'd like to think Bruce, over his long life, gained experience at combatting men on boats. Perhaps he learned boats mean food? Perhaps he learned that early in his life? It's fun to speculate. For ME, Bruce is monster; old, terrifying, and malevelent.
4:17 Sorry, but I really don't think there was anything personal for the shark (Bruce) in terms of going after the Orca. It was drawn there by the chum they were dumping overboard, just as the three men intended. (Sharks can smell blood and meat from a very long distance, as they have an extremely powerful sense of smell.)
lucca ferla Agreed, It went after the Orca three times, it might have been lured to it the first time by that chum and Quent first hooking it on piano wire, but those later attacks ranging from Bruce ramming the Orca at night (with his nose certainly, which is the most sensitive area on a shark’s body, but that doesn’t phase Bruce at all with his raw ramming power) to him stalking the Orca and then chasing it points to a creature that takes being hunted by Quient Brody and Hooper VERY personally.
@@LgiovanniF Maybe he thought the ship was an injured whale. That would explain why he apparently stalked them for a long time. Then it noticed that there were smaller prey above the "whale" and so tried to catch them.
@@magnathrax7360 possibly but it doesn't hold when you remember the Shark was already aware of brody as it popped up in the "We're gonna need a bigger boat" scene and it knows Hooper is in the cage, even going so far as to sneak up on him and destroy the cage to get at him.
@@LgiovanniF True. Maybe it just decided to ignore the humans and go for the ship, but then it realized that the ship wasn't food and so decided to attack the humans? And about the cage, it could easily have noticed Hooper in the cage while he was in the water, and so it sneaked on him. It doesn't mean it already knew Hooper was on the boat. Just a though tho.
I would love to offer solid backing to these theories, but I’m pretty sure that it was just meant to have been a rogue, that was particularly large and strong, and kept being underestimated because of its uncommon traits. Underestimation is why the characters struggle on the Orca. When they first realised how big he was, had they gone back for a harbour cruiser with mounted harpoon and auto rifles, Bruce would have been sushi. But then we wouldn’t have had such an awesome final third.
Very great vid, thanks BH Pumkinclaw. I believe the true passion lies within our own mind's as to what Bruce was. The use or non-use I should say, of graphics to illustrate what was happening under the water during Chrissies' attack made it so much more alluring and intriguing; having to make use of our own imagination. I think Bruce was a "freak" in the sense that he had some sort of intelligence that surpassed that of just primal instinct. A malicious personality, like a serial killer reincarnated. Please let me put an idea of my own out there. I am just saying, please don't be too harsh with my idea... Imo, any type of remake would only fall short, very short of the original. Cgi would only take away from it unless used smartly and sparingly. Hence, a prequel. My idea would revolve around a young Quint aboard the USS Indianapolis. The main plot would be after the vessel had sunk and the sailors were in the water. The men were being attacked by sharks, but one bastard shark in particular......Bruce!! Towards the end, as Quint (in his "lifejacket" that he glances uneasily upon) are finally being lifted to safety, he makes eye contact with Bruce. Finally, the last scene would entail an underwater view from Bruces' perspective. Just swimming for about 20 seconds or so. Then have him peer above water only to see a buoy that says "Property of Amity." The same buoy Chrissie clung to. Screen goes black followed by credits. Just a thought☺!
I like to think that Bruce is a creature that was simply made from hate and evil. I think that Bruce was born from a shark who was recently killed by a hunter, he bit the hunter’s throat before jumping back into the sea, but he was born too early. When he leaped into the water, he was actually in extremely deep water, having nothing but Orcas, sharks, Sperm Whales, and a lot of hunters, so it forced him to become smarter, killing and eating a mako when he was at the age of 2 because he figured out that every shark’s weakness is at the belly, he sliced it open, killing it. Over the many years, he studied and figured out the weaknesses of all of the predators, even getting to the point where he was able to kill a massive Sperm Whale, after so many deaths on his hands, he couldn’t get enough. He soon swam to the beach that Jaws takes place in, and that’s the story. I hope everyone who read this liked it
I think you're reading more into the marketing and not the actual story itself. There's very little in Jaws that is not grounded in real life. Okay we can say Spielberg embellished moments like the shark exploding and the dock being pulled from it's foundation for entertainment purposes. And no when people get attacked, there's normally not a 30 piece orchestra playing a stalking theme for effect. But before you micro manage every moment of Jaws as if only a mystical creature could do this, let's examine what science completely finds normal in this story. He kills one girl who is swimming at dawn when most sharks hunt for food near shore. He doesn't swallow her. She's chewed up and her remains are washed up on the beach, partially intact. Completely within the scope of what has been witnessed and examined in the field. The dog - An animal peddling in the water like a seal. Case closed. The boy on the raft - How many times have we talked about sharks looking at objects on the surface ( like a raft or surf board) and mistaking them for something else? Completely normal. Did Jaws attack anyone else packed in the water? No... Ben Gardner's boat is allegedly rammed and sunk. I'm not sure why people find this outside the parameters of believability. Much smaller sharks ram and stalk boaters. Can you imagine a 25 footer acting in the same manner? See this article from last year. thewest.com.au/news/wa/esperance-locals-fear-for-safety-of-beachgoers-after-sharks-ram-boats-ng-b88601956z The Estuary victim. Jaws bumps those boats capsizing each. You have three teens and one adult in the water. Jaws chews up one and yet with all that blood in the water goes right by the others. Monster? Doesn't sound like it. All that's left after that is Quint. They bait the water and keep the shark in a feeding frenzy. All of that from Jaws breaking into the cage which you can find on countless youtube searches, to the great white coming out of the water (check out the video flying sharks) illustrates what great Whites can do. Does Spielberg embellish the extent of which the shark rams the cage and jump on the boat? Well of course. But we're still talking about a 4 ton creature making up it;s mind it wants to attack. Jaws is simply a great white that eats four people. Well documented events like this have happen and there's no reason to believe rogue sharks have not eaten people in the surf in a number of different places. These are predators not kittens turned into Lions. So I don't feel Jaws is really all that fictional by any stretch. Encounter a hungry one in the water that looks to be the size of a station wagon and tell me if you feel any safer because it's real. I bet your answer is no.
I was taking it from a serious stand point in order to create an entertaining value that people who watch it would accept as attempted reality for creative purposes.If I came from a satirical stand point it would devalue the angle I was creating. Im sure you are a pleasure to watch movies with
Entertainment is subjective. If you're being "creative" to embellish an established story, may I recommend a stronger title than, " What was Bruce?" And why call him the nickname from Spielberg when it actually has nothing to do with the story? What was Bruce? He was a mechanical shark... NEXT!
I love your video, it's jawsome lol excuse the pun . As another youtuber said the way you explain thiings is so fascinating it draws us in! yes Bruce was so huge and formidable!
Even humans would most likely run than attack there predators. anything would only attack its predators if it has the capability to that’s why you don’t see most sharks trying to attack finning boats because they just can’t, there best bet is to swim away, so it doesn’t come down to Intelligence, it just comes down to melevalence and capability, because personally I think jaws was something beyond our pure understanding.
I don't think it would be possible to pull a wooden dock apart, that being said my housemate is a professional , recreational and trawler fisherman and he said his boat was dragged one night by a shark, and trawlers are big ,even the small trawlers are big boats.
Pumpkinclaw, I've watched your What Was Bruce and What Was Bruce's Mother video. Just curious if you've done any more JAWS theory videos. Maybe on JAWS 3? That one had the largest shark of the four movies, was it related to the first two sharks?
You're welcome! By the way, recently saw your theory video for The Graveyard Shift, love it! Have you done other SK movies? The Dark Half might be a good one - "What Was George Stark Really?"
I've considered Bruce and the first Jaws a form of metaphore where Bruce is presented as a force of nature, a monster that is far smarter and more vicious than regular sharks, it's like Godzilla. It pursued 3 particular men that attacked it so it wanted revenge- something sharks don't do and it just wasted so much energy and took a lot of damage bashing through the walls of Orca, or getting speared, it's nothing a real predator would do. Maybe a human, but is's worth noting serial killers pick weak prey
I have watched this video a few times. And I've seen some of Discovery Channel's shark week specials. I learn a lot about Great White sharks, it's really cool. And I have also seen the movie Jaws, and it's sequels. And this video is interesting, and it's scary at times.
BH Pumpkinclaw : I'd like to ask you ask you this question: I've seen a Fan made trailer for a special Fan movie Idea. The Justice League vs the Monsters!! It's a Interesting idea. Michael Myers of Halloween, Jason from Friday the 13th, and Freddy Krueger of nightmare on M St.fame. So tell me what you think about that?
I know you said that you didn't want to get into shark diet, but it probably does need to point out that eating four people in a few days would not give Bruce back the energy it expended in eating them, much less in wrecking all the boats it did. Sharks need lots of energy and for great whites the size of Bruce that is supplied by mammals with a LOT of fat: Ie.. whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, and such. Bruce should be starving if he's living solely off humans.
My personal theory? Given the mention of the USS Indianapolis, Bruce was amongst the thousands of sharks that attacked and killed crew members which would explain why he developed a taste for human flesh becoming a maneater and rogue. Bruce was also unusually large and different looking from other great whites because he was mutated by the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings. That or Bikini Atoll.
It feels like there are so many kids in the comments. Bruce is supposed to represent our fears of the unknown. That's why Bruce is so unnatural so monstrous. Quint hunts sharks because of his fear, Brody had a reason of his own personal fears of the ocean. Dreyfuss was driven by curiosity, which is what we all have when it comes to thinking what roams in the ocean. The random zooms on the horizon of the ocean in all of the Jaws movie are deliberate, all to make you wonder what is out there
Saint AK_47 nailed it. The end. The book is about Brody, Hooper and Quint. Their back stories and fears. It’s not even about the shark really. It’s our primal fears.
Folks, Bruce was a Great White. 25ft in the book, 25ft in the movie. There are Great Whites now that are larger than that. They didn’t Godzilla the shark FFS :)
Best. Movie. Ever. Just sayin.
True. I think people are overspeculating about the shark's origins. Like, some people theorized it was a baby Megalodon (Why would you, please don't).
It clearly was meant to be a normal great white shark, not a unnatural monster or a genetic mutation.
Excellent answer
Tourism in beaches all over the world was down in those years due to Jaws. A lot of poeple didn't want to swimm into the sea.
@Joyce Williams I feel your pain lol.
In the book, Bruce was a male: it is mentioned he has claspers, a characteristic of male sharks.
Names: Bruce, Chum, and Anchor.
@@dominicfeliciano9462 how is jaws not one of those names
the mechanical shark had claspers molded on it too
"I see yer cock you bastard"!
Bruce is a male too in the movie Jaws.
In Jaws 2 it was a female, Bruce’s mate.
Then Jaws 3D, it was a female again.
And finally Jaws the revenge, it was a male, Bruce’s son.
There’s Dany too in Jaws 3D, the son of the Jaws 3D and Jaws the revnege shark.
Bruce is the Micheal Myers of sharks. He has no reason to his madness, or anything the human mind can understand. He just simply is what he is, a force of nature. And that to me is what’s scariest of all.
That just sounds ridiculous. Bruce is taking a lot of unnecessary punishment to get what amounts to a relatively small meal. A real vicious predator would even retreat if it sustains too many injuries to continue. Animals don't kill on purpose.
The "force of nature" thing would only make sense if Bruce was actually a supernatural servant and guardian of the ocean sent to punish humans who dare to desecrate the ocean in any way.
Michael Myers kills because of a Celtic curse. How else does he survive severe injuries? Being a killer doesn't automatically make you superhuman.
@@kidprime6863 Funny how you say the word “ridiculous” but then go on to prove my point. And you don’t have to be a servant of something to be a supernatural killer in movies. And for the record, that Michael Myers reference you used, was something which came out of what’s known as the Thorn Trilogy (Halloween 4-6). Those three movies are an entirely different timeline, and thus aren’t canon. Michael Myers in the first movie was a blank slate, hence why he’s known as “The Shape”. Just like Bruce is a blank slate in his own right.
@@a.w.sawtooth9469 I'm just saying that the reason they kill can't ALWAYS be "just because". Personally I believe Bruce is either a Megalodon, a US Navy experiment gone horribly wrong or a supernatural spirit. US Navy experiment would actually make a whole lot of sense because maybe they gave the shark some type of experimental steroid that boosts its strength and durability but also pumps its aggression and hunger to make it the perfect marine weapon.
At least the Thorn Trilogy made sense. I hate the "killer has inhuman durability and/or strength" troupe. If the killer isn't a wild animal, an actual monster, undead, supernaturally or genetically engineered or enhanced but just a typical knife-wielding maniac, then they can be killed by shooting decapition, burning and dismemberment. The troupe is basically plot armor. In other words, The Michael Myers from all movies outside the Thorn Trilogy can be killed by conventional means like getting bisected from head to groin.
Unlike Bruce people have actually found out what makes Myers tick
Jaws from the movie was definitely something more evil. I think some of the characteristics we saw of Jaws, is a mixture of normal shark-like behavior and something more sinister. It's as if some evil entity, beast, Leviathan, etc, lived inside the Sharks body being influenced by the Sharks nature.
For example, going after the boy on the raft instead of swimmers is a case of mistaken identity for seals (unless you make the presumption Jaws attacked the kid because he knew it was a kid, then yea that's even worse). But there was definitely something more going on. Something eviler and the introduction of the movie pretty much says it all too me. To this very day, that introduction scene still gives me the chills. Every time I watch that scene, in the beginning, getting eaten and screaming out "Please God, No, God Please, NO!" You know from that very moment it's something evil and not just your average shark.
Absolutely, Bruce subsists purely on human fear. We know this because of the people he chooses to kill. Firstly, he stalks and kills a lone girl, which is something that all females are deathly afraid of. Not to mention, he plays with her in an attempt to generate the most amount of fear possible before he kills. Secondly, he kills a little boy. Many young children are afraid of monsters hunting them down. Despite many theorists saying otherwise, Bruce chose Alex Kitner for the same reason he killed Chrissie, to feed on his fear. Bruce also killed the Estuary man because he knew that sudden danger appearing in a seemingly safe place would generate the most terror. Finally we come to Quint. Quint was easily the most scared of all the characters due to his experience on the USS Indianapolis, making him an especially tasty snack for Bruce. Essentially, Bruce (in my opinion) is a demonic entity, like Pennywise in Stephen King’s “It”, that feeds on the terror and pain of the innocent and vulnerable.
I like the gigantism theory. But did you know, sharks are few of the only spices in the animal kingdom that actually don't stop growing until they die?! They grow slowly though.
Brayden Bishop it’s the same with goldfish.
Theres other animals that also dont stop growing until they die.
Rodney Falberg I agree with this a lot. I think Bruce was just a large great white. I think he was just attracted to humans because of the mistake of identity, noises, and even the chum off the boat from brody
That's because Bruce and the others W E R E Megalodons
Noice fact
Bruce has claspers, so it is male. And since the 3 men chummed the water, it lured the shark to their direction. They were trying to lure it to them, not avoid it!
They call Bruce him in the movie and in the book and he had claspers most fans consider Bruce male. Jaws 2 was female some said it was his sister or mate which shows the silliness the franchise would dive into.
@@craigusselman546 Yeah, I hate the sequels personally. Jaws 2, I tolerate. But I don’t love it.
Bruce is male. Says so in book. He was rogue because of his old age and just needed an easy feed.
xyzvision Nice, I'll admit I was a little bit confused about the name BRUCE for a female shark.
WoodLandGamers Well, you have to take into account that Bruce was the name Spielberg gave the mechanical shark and wasn't intended to be an official name.
xyzvision I’ll believe that... let’s just forget the sequels happened.
xyzvision yes, and also pertaining to the Ron and Valerie Taylor footage in the movie of the shark circling the cage , there is one clip of the shark’s underside; revealing its claspers or male sex organs of the elasmobranch family. It may have been coincidence that the Taylors just happened to film a male shark that day where they got a shot of the claspers on one of them. They did, I believe film more than one great white in Australia for the cage sequence in the movie. And of course the water was surely baited with chum and tuna to invite more than one shark.
Generally, old age is not a reason for sharks to kill humans like it is for tigers, lions or leopards, themselves man-eaters suffering from advanced age like in so many incidents. Regardless, the shark in Jaws could have been very old; in real life, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute has shown that great whites can live to be at least 72 years old. It would not be surprising if Bruce was at least 80+ years old.
As a kid, my dad told me that Jaws might just be evil itself. So growing up I just assumed everyone also thought this was a possibility. But now that I'm older I see most people just thought it was a very aggressive shark. I think my dad was ahead of his time haha
There was a shark named Bruce on finding Nemo
SuperTarget81 L #zombiesharkapocolypse on the way.... 😱😂
Reference to Jaws :]
*FISH ARE FRIENDS NOT FOOD* probably why jaws only eats humans.
That's a tribute to Jaws.
gaming nexus didn't Bruce in Nemo admit to eating a diver? If so you maybe on to something lol
Bruce is a descendent of its prehistoric ancestor The Megladon. It's still very odd though that Bruce devolped intelligence and the taste for human flesh.
Humans don't taste good
That’d be awesome
@@TF2Scout.. "they taste better than animals"
-definitely a cannibal
@@TF2Scout.. how do u know wut humans taste like...
Bruce is not a Megalodon, he’s a great white shark.
Such an underrated topic! I do believe Bruce was something supernatural.
0:54 is the most realistic looking (fake) shark to ever be on film. I don’t care what anyone says.
07foxmulder which movie is that?
The shark looks amazing in the estuary attack. It looks rough and ugly and mean. Very organic. I've always thought it looked a little too "Clean" and perfect on its first appearance in the film. Considering the estuary attack was shot at the very end of the schedule this makes sense. It has had months of being beaten up and it works in its favor.
very very true !! this bit was the utmost worst for me as a child
Those are some spectacular graphics of Bruce
Curtis 007 the one of him coming up on Alex kitner gives me chills.
To follow up the Leviathan theory, Bruce / Every Jaws Shark does seem to show up whenever the waters are relatively warm so that could explain the whole warm breath heating up the ocean
Because of it's abnormal size, malicious behaviour and hunger for especially humans, I always also thought it couldn't be just a regular great white shark.
Well it was established to be just a predator. It was only after when it outright went out of its way to hunt the orca despite it clearly being dangerous that something truly was off if Bruce. He clearly showed sentience as only sentience would override instinct. Or he was used to severe pain.
A book called MEG
Me: Shut up Meg.....
YES!!! Someone had to say it! 😂😂😂
look up the vid with the real shark deep blue and then watch bruce he is almost the exact same size meaning no he ain't no megalodon BUT he is the largest Great white ever in his universe i.e the jaws verse the others after him was also as or even larger especially jasw 3's Shark was vastly larger if i am not mistaken
Lol
Haha, it's so funny because MEG pre-dates Family Guy.
PeanutButterChocolate CakeWithKoolaid famileh guy

*oh sorry,wrong Bruce?*
FOOD!!
Perhaps Bruce is a Great white with gigantism. I agree with that. But I have a theory on why he chooses to go after the three men: Competition. He saw them as an enemy trying to take his food.
That's a good point
See, not to me. I think the first half is scarier because no one is fighting back. Really the only difference between an action movie and a horror movie is that in action movies the protagonist fights back. There were tense moments in the 2nd half but, to me at least, the first half was where most of the horror was. I did get the sense that the shark was more intelligent than it ought to be but that merely made it more interesting as the heroes vied for victory over it. It wasn't just a fishing trip: it was a real fight.
"The second half of the film is somewhat scarier because you get the sense, or at least I did, that when they looked at Bruce's eyes, there was somebody home in there"
Damn.
Jaws is my favorite movie of all time. I have to have watched it at least about a hundred times as I'm typing this. This sentence is so chilling, so very disturbing and dammit... I have to agree. Well done @ReviewCam, the next time I watch it I'm going to have this on my mind the whole time.
This my theory, there’s a phenomenon in marine biology known as Abyssal Gigantism, whereas an animal who spends its life in darkness grows to immense size. Perfect examples include the Giant and colossal Squid, oarfish, And giant deepwater Sharks. Perhaps Bruce is a rogue but with genetic mutations considering g the sharks jawline has jowls, immense strength.
@@lemmythebulldog8812 I believe Bruce and his kin were evolved Megalodons.
The Bruce line were physically larger than normal great whites, bulkier, heavier, and have facial features that was not normal for normal white sharks.
Evolution can go many ways for a animal. Just becuase a animal that was a giant in the past would mean its a giant in the present. A variant of the Meg could have evolved into smaller sharks. Physical changes would result in them adapting to new roles but some physical features would still be present. Such as perhaps odd looking cheek muscles flaps at the jaws that you don't see in any White Sharks but probably would exist for a animal that used to hunt whales and needed extra strength to bite through whale bone.
Great video! Even as a kid I always assumed Bruce was a leviathan. Some kind of supernatural mix of shark and monster. It looks and acts so sinister that it cannot be mistaken for a normal shark. Both Hooper and Quint, both experts on sharks, have never seen any shark do what this one does. It shares these traits with other movie monsters. They have supernatural strength, intelligence, foresight. Always at the right place at the right time. They enjoy terrorizing their victims and make sure to demonstrate their intent.

(Shark attacks)
the jaws wiki poses two theories:
1. Because the great white shark depicted in Jaws did not appear to look like a typical great white shark, it has been suggested by fans that this shark was in fact a mutated beast rather than a genetically perfect Great white shark specimen. This would also account for its maniacal personality and traits depicted in the film in so far as outward "rogue" behavior. This however is pure speculation.
2. Proponents believe this shark as well as the other sharks depicted in the sequels possessed supernatural powers and could not have been destroyed, in much the same way Jason in the 'Friday the thirteenth' film series could not.....also in the novellization of the 4th film....the shark was under control of Voodoo as revenge gainst the Brodi family (god damn thats dumb)
also the shark in Jaws 2 (dumb) was said to be the mate of Bruce in the first film
and the shark in Jaws The Revenge (dumbest of dumb) was their offspring....dumb dumb dumb
the best theory is that Bruce is just a freakishly large and very old and aggressive Great White- attacking the boat was not a specific attack but just shear reckless aggression and power for an old shark with nothing left to lose.
i particularly like this theory because it makes Bruce the counter part to Quint- both are near the end of there lives and are reckless in pursuit of their objective.
Having the shark from Jaws 4 be controlled by a voodoo would explain a lot to be honest. ( still dumb tho )
well in the movie Jaws 4 the shark seem to have a weird connection with the shark, definitely psychic. It's either voodoo or it's the ghost of the original. lol
Bruce, was pure Evil in the shape of a Shark. Great video!
Thank you appreciate the support
Sure :-)
Micheal Myers in shark form? Simply evil
Nah, Bruce was just hungry. That's why he ate the dog, too.
Bruce is Not Behaving Like A Great White He is An Adult Megalodon
Meg “this is the best shark movie!”
Jaws “hold my beer”
jaws forever 🦈
Nobody ever including the Meg film itself ever said it was Better than Jaws but the Meg is still dumb popcorn fun but Jaws will remain the king of Shark films.
It is a family of sharks.
Jaws Bruce is a male.
2 its Bruces lady shark, pregnant for revenge.
3 is a Child of the mother Shark, going for the child of Brody.
4 is Bruces Mother, out for her revenge against The mother of the series Mrs. Brody.
This is the known tale, of eye for an eye, which the protagonist wins. GG
Ethan Bullock jaws 4 is the offspring of Bruce since jaws 2 is pregnant the shark in jaws 3 is theorized to be the granddaughter of bruce
1 bruce,
2 bruce mate or mother
3 big shark not connected to the other two
4 offspring of either bruce or his mother. likely the mother because of the brother killing a brother for a brother being killed by micheal seans brother and ellen his mother.
Ethan Bullock wow make sense
I deleted the comment but the technically I said more because the younger one didn't really kill anyone, it just kind of got into the park and died in captivity, but triggered it's mother entering the park. But yeah, actually there are 2 sharks in Jaws 3, not just the big one.
Eternantium kewl.
Inspired, and reminds me of what James Rolfe said about Jaws: "they missed the point, they made it too good."
The point being that if this movie was made in the 1950's, it would have been in good company among all sorts of animals blown up to inflated proportions. No explanation needed, just it's a villain, so it's big...
It also leaves me thinking of the Stargate Universe episode "The Hunt", in which a similar huge creature is initially dismissed as unintelligent: "There's nothing special about this thing. It's a monster..." and "I can't stand the thought of being eaten alive. When the time comes, you will?" and similar.
Check it out if possible!
I havent watch Stargate Universe in a long time, but I will deff check it out.Thank you

I think that Bruce is a baby megalodon
mega NIX30.34 i did a video talking about if he was a baby megaladon where his mom is
BRUCE THE JAWS SHARK IS A MEGOLADON!
Well the Shark in JAWS 3 was 35 feet so they called have been Megs
I like the idea of Bruce being a megalodon, but it’s probably not true, mostly the fact that the Jaws series doesn’t really seem like it would go into that territory and most people probably won’t accept it.
It can be true
I've always believed that Bruce was a freak of nature, the shark equivalent of a maniac. I mean, you get crazy people in the human world, so why not in the animal one? Plus the Jaws novel gave me that impression too, it almost felt to me that Bruce had always been a loner. Like he was so screwed up that even other White sharks would be scared of him/wouldn't accept him. I completely agree with the theory that he had a mutation and wasn't like other White sharks genetically. You only have to look at his body, he was a lot more bulkier than a regular Great White. Normal Great Whites are more streamlined and more torpedo-like. Bruce was like a battering ram! I believe that on the odd occasion you will get a person in the world that is born evil, like there was a certain part of their brain that didn't develop properly or something. Well Bruce for me is the shark equivalent of that, which would also explain his power, as a lot of serial killers etc have been known to have almost superhuman strength. So yeah, to wrap it up, Bruce: Maniac Shark! Sounds like the title of a really dodgy B movie doesn't it?! 😂
Poor Bruce he just needed some therapy and meds
True story. Back in 1982 my grandfather caught the first great white to be landed in the state of Maryland, off of ocean city. It was early in the morning, but he could see the lights and hear people at the inlet rides early in the night while they were drifting. So just a few miles off shore. Sound does travel on water. The shark they pulled in Was around 10 feet. But just before that, they had released a much larger shark. A great white. After fighting it for 4 hours and bringing it alongside his boat, it began thrashing and was dangerously close to swamping his boat, a 21 foot sea hawk center console. Both he and the other three men on board claimed it was at least 3 feet larger then the boat itself. So they had no qualms cutting it loose. Seriously. Fuck that. Remember also, this was back in 82 when conservation was not what it is today. And my grandfather as I knew him (I lived with my grandparents from age 4-17) was never one to tell fish tales.
That's awesome
Wow good story 👍🏼
What a story! I couldn’t imagine hooking into something that big!
I'm glad you mentioned Pippit, nobody else tends to mention the poor dog...
I think the prop being inaccurate worked really well. Bruce didn't look like a normal great white, which is what got me as a child. He looked like a steam train.
Bruce to me is one of those sharks I think did not get along with other sharks and ate them which is what made him so huge and I definetley believe it was extremely territorial and there was no other predators in the area to combat it
This is why I think there is still life left in the Jaws franchise. There should be a film that tries to explain just what the sharks in the Jaws films really are they are huge they are super aggressive and seem to love hunting and eating people the films they don't seem like completely natural predators there's loads left to be explained.
We absolutely need no more
Fun fact the shark in the last movie was hellbent on total revenge against the Brody family for killing the other sharks
They could've been genetically engineered mutants created for biological underwater warfare
No more Jaws, please. the sequels to the original PROVED that the first one was absolutely lightning in a bottle. A once in a lifetime film that came at the right place, the right time, and scared the fuck out of people. A remake, prequel, sequel, or television show would just be silly.
The dock being ripped apart may have a simple explanation. It is possible that years of weather & water splashing, could have weakened the dock, to the point where Bruce easily ripped it apart.
In the original Peter Benchley novel, Amity Island had a lot of crime and corruption going on with the mafia and the town’s mayor. I like the idea of Bruce being something more supernatural and malevolent.
One think I like about you and your vids is that you have this passion and believability in your descriptions. Using this video as an example, even if you are wrong about Bruce about video you gave a different perspective and it's a view I hold.
It's the feeling that Bruce, just like a Lovecraft monster, is hidden, ageless, and seemingly impossible in the realms of science. To quote lovecraft in Dunwich Horror "this is where all realism left and pure fantasy began"
Your video also evokes the original trailer to JAWS very well. And quoting the story of the Leviathan really captures my imagination. As all mythological and theological texts are all descriptors of man trying to make sense of the seemingly impossible. Bruce did come from the Dark and in my mind the paradise of Amity Island was violated by its Maw. Even the three men, the continuation of civilizations ancient heroes feared the possible damnation of being taken by such spawn.
Look forward to more videos

Perhaps Jaws exists in the same continuity as Peter Benchley's White Shark (1994) (= the 1997 TV miniseries Creature) and Bruce is an escaped survivor of the same bioweapon program, hybridising sharks with humans and other creatures = either created by the Nazis (novel) or by the US government during the Cold War (TV).
Thats a damn good cannon concept for a possible BenchleyVerse...;BTW I love how you know it was called White Shark before the TV movie, I have an original copy of the book before they changed the title for the miniseries.
What scares me is, how do we know the US government HASN'T tried something like this?
@@jenniferbrewer5370 because why? Fun thought still I guess
BH Pumpkinclaw you should make a video about that theory.
I'm glad you put up the reasons why megs are very likely to not be around.. Sadly one fact that escapes most people is the Megalodon isn't as closely related to great whites as previously thought.
Bruce is like the tide. An unstoppable force of nature that keeps coming and theres nothing you can do to stop it
I've always considered JAWS or Bruce as The King Kong of Sharks, like he was mythical Shark that existed for many years and decided to go on a killing frenzy in the waters of Amity Island
Even within the context of the movie, it’s an aberrant shark. Both Quint and Hooper had studied/hunted them for years and they both had never seen one behave this way.
I just think Bruce was a true freak of nature.
something that shouldn't be allowed in our world normally.
gamer11780 How is he a freak of nature?
"shouldn't be allowed"
....
No words to this.
WoodLandGamers he pulled barrels that are supposed to keep him from going deeper underwater down with him.
I've seen sharks have this done to them they never went deeper underwater
Well being an over grown shark does not make him a freak.
well if you put him under the right circumstances he could be classed as a freak
Fantastic artwork. Favorite movie of all time, never get tired of watching it.
0:27 love the cloud shark artwork
In my opinion, the shark in Jaws aka Bruce : was a Monster, A beast at hunted and killed any animals or person that crossed it's path
Harvey Witt theres a passage in the book that suggests you are right when the "Great Fish" expends so much energy trying to eat some lobsters it is aware that it wasn't worth it. says alot about the novels human drama that I remember that.
I watched a documentary over 10 years ago about great white sharks and there was one segment about a father and son fishermen who claim they almost caught a 30 foot great white shark that they nicked named SUBMARINE. Reason why they didn't catch her was because they actually had her on a hook but they were on a little 15 foot fishing boat and Submarine was apparently 30 feet which means she was double the size of the boat they were on and they had no choice but to let her go cause she was so big and powerful that she was gonna pull the boat underwater if they hadn't released her, wonder if its true or not
I heard about Submarine, sometimes its fun to think that these stories are true even if they are embellished. Possibly the shark was 20 or 15 feet long but it makes a much more interesting story if it was 30
Submarine wasn't 30 feet, she was about 23 feet. The boy and father that encountered the shark were was Theo Ferreira and his son, shark expert Craig Anthony Ferreira. Craig Ferreira wrote two books on the encounters with Submarine, both of which you can get for Kindle. The first was called "Great White Sharks on their Best Behavior". The second was called "The Submarine: The True Story of a Giant Great White Shark."
Yes I remember her well ..I was in the navy we used to pick her up on our sonar in False Bay .. I know 2 people both good friends who had encounters..one was off Macasa beach other was off the coast of Kalk bay. It's true the stories about the Submarine she was massive ... doubt 30 foot but probably 23ish would be a good estimate ... 25 at a stretch.
Whoa! You saw her on sonar? Lucky! That is so incredible!
I remember her being the focus of an old 2002 Shark Week Documentary called "Great White: In Search of the Giants"
Thanks BH, I’ll be looking forward to seeing the future episodes
I need more jaws theories!!! haha
Thank you :)
BH Pumpkinclaw a man jaws 1 was classfied as a boy jaws 2 and 3 were grills jaws 4 was a boy and ow sm video keep it up
4:20 I believe the mayor closed the beaches for the time Broady, Quint, and Hooper, were out at sea, so the beach would be completely empty, and the only humans, that are available are the ones on the orca Boat, and since being a mere mortal great white shark, that grew a taste for human flesh, would have no choice but to go for the ones on the boat.
In the books Vengeance (the shark from Jaws 4) was said to have eaten his older siblings in the womb a trait from sand tiger sharks
That is precisely what Bruce is, a fiction.
No doubt that Bruce’s enormity and strength are something to fear, but what really makes Bruce frightening is actually his intelligence. This was a “shark” that was strategic, who, as you pointed out, was aware of humans trying to kill him and was forced to respond, and not like an ordinary animal, but calculatedly. In many “Top Horror Films” lists by movie critics, film websites, and review panels, “Jaws” is often cited up there, not just because it was masterfully shot that way by Steven Spielberg, but also because of Bruce himself, whose behaviors and characteristics are very much more closely aligned with that of a human serial killer than an oceanic predator. And this is what makes Bruce a fiction (as you said, the most realistic embodiment of the leviathan). To put it how my old Anatomy Professor put it, “Jaws” is to marine biology what “Jurassic Park” is to genetics. Is it completely 100% impossible that we will find mosquitos from millions of years ago who have, by infinitesimal odds, been carefully preserved in amber (or by other means) AND on top of that, whose digestive systems have somehow retained the unbroken and untampered DNA of dinosaurs that it fed on? And! Lastly, whose DNA structures happen to have compatible link matches with modern amphibians (or any animal) that are so perfect we are able to accurately re-create them in a lab with the same physical and physiological features as they did millions of years ago? To a point that their diets, lifespans, or even something as basic as moving are not affected as a result of mutation? The answer is, of course, no, this is not completely 100% impossible, but it is so abysmally against the odds (like 99.indefinite 9% unlikely) that you may as well say that Jurassic Park is impossible (at least the way it’s illustrated in the film, a theme park with living dinosaurs that we breed like zoo animals that don’t die after two weeks). Likewise with Jaws, is it completely 100% impossible that we will find a shark that is so frighteningly intelligent that it is strategic about its hunt, that it distinctly knows/remembers its prey by their faces and voices, that it knows how to execute countermeasures in a fight, that it can figure out when it’s being manipulated, and can respond with deceptions of its own? Of course this is not 100% impossible (I mean, come on, humanity has only ever explored 5% of the Earth’s ocean), but, so far as science is concerned with the data it does have, the odds of finding a shark of this level intelligence is so abysmally low, we may as well say that it’s impossible. Bruce is a fiction, but as with many iconic killers in cinema, a well-showcased one.
If the world moved to a predominantly plant diet, we would probably start seeing even bigger fishes in our waters more frequently, since their access to food would increase substantially and the pollution would go down as well.
yes but then we'd all be weak and sickly because vegan substitutes taste like ass.
Nah, all the fertilizer run off would cause to many algal blooms, killing off massive amounts of sea life
Still eating meat
@Chandler Burse im not questioning the nutritional value... Im saying they taste bland for the most part and have a weird rubbery texture
@Chandler Burse people won't eat it cos it tastes garbage... thats what I meant...
I’m a huge horror fan since childhood. I like your videos, keep up the good work! 👍🏽😀
Thank you, appreciate it
I for one know about Mary Lee because i live on Cape Cod year round...!!! And she's a MASSIVE female White Shark but doesn't even come close to Deep Blue's size in Mexico. However, i do feel there must be White Sharks out there bigger then Deep Blue. Nothing was mentioned here about the famous "Submarine" in South Africa. Who many fishermen claim to have seen and reported at a size between 25-30+ft...!!! I do believe Submarine exists or should i say did exist. But one must realize the length of time it takes for a shark to obtain these massive sizes. The 20ft female "Deep Blue" is a reported 50yrs old...!!! So were talking about a VERY few sharks out there that are "possibly" bigger then her much less still alive. However, since we know more about or moon's surface then what's under the water. Anything could be lurking out there without us knowing about it. Giant squids for example of massive proportions and most definitely new species yet to be discovered.
John Cornell byt bruce is 25feet jeez deep blue was 23 feet submarine is like he said 30 feet or likely lile shark from Jaws 3D
Some of those movies were awesome 👏. I would say that Bruce was a Pure Monster. A beast that hunts people!!!!!
I do feel like he is a mutant Shark because he did a smart movie when he attack Hooper. Like he saw him with the poison and he thought I know Ill swim around and ambush him.
Its actually not unusual. Indeed its natural behavior for a Great White to Ambush potential prey. Great Whites routinely ambush seals specifically from underneath where they can't see them.
The shark did the same thing to Hooper. Except from the back not underneath. the Shark knew exactly how this prey hunted.
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent exactly. Great White sharks are primarily ambush predators. Their color patterns make that an ideal tactic for them, they also prefer to hunt in murky water.
You put this video together really well and I definitely enjoyed listening to your theories. Great work.
What was Bruce ? A REMOTE CONTROLLED ROBOT SHARK WITH RUBBER TEETH ! AWESOME .
People like you must be a blast to watch movies with
People like you make a bigger deal about something that wasn't intended, just so that they can get views on UA-cam. I honestly think Steven Spielberg and Peter Benchley would just laugh in your face when you mention the Leviathan.
@@yoshidinono8095 im laughing at your face bc you get so triggered over something i do as a hobbie and make no money off of. Try getting an imagination you will be more pleasant to be around
@@BHPumpkinclaw he just made a joke dude what's your problem? He didn't want to insult you
Beautiful artistry and well narrated!!! Love this video!!!
Stunning artwork!
It's so riveting
I saw this when I was 4 and I love it to this day.
Same bro. Watched it a bit before that aswell
Some think Bruce was a megalodon, but Benchley never described the shark as being one.
I remember when I was a kid, I assumed Bruce was some kind of mutant shark that also had common sense. Hence it’s size, strength and strangely evil personality.
Maybe he was like a transient that has no rules, like male transient orcas that travel without a pod. But instead hunt away from the pod and seek out vulnerable creatures. Maybe there are sharks that hunt away from the more normal prey. And target things not normally on their menu, because it is easy. One experienced Australian shark guy says so many sharks are attacking dolphins and humans because of overfishing and he finds it evil than they are killing creatures they should not be like the dolphins and us.
There are so many movie goers you always wanted to know how they make it looks so real....
With Special Effects, mechanical engineering, and making Jaws etc.....but once you know the secret
Then there's nothing to be afraid of.....
Bruce was originally from Venice (muscle-Beach) California... and after (years) of feeding on swimmers who where on steroids he grew to immense size but the food supply ran low and Bruce roamed the globe for more food until he came to the island.
I'm an original 'Jaws' kid. I read the book before the movie came out. It was 1974 and I was eleven. Peter Benchly never explicitly says so, but he sure does implicate that Bruce is far more clever than the average fish. Quint tells Brody "These things don't have the brains God gave a dog.", yet Bruce continually outwits him with a seeming intelligence. There is a malevelence implied in the way Bruce shows off Hooper's dead body to Brody and Quint. The movie carries it further, in my opinion, which makes sense; Bruce isn't JUST a shark, he is a monster, and, I believe, a very old one too. I have often considered Bruce to be the last of the great Universal Monsters, but I won't argue the point with anyone. It's certainly a far out opinion, I know. To me, Bruce IS malevelent. He feeds on human beings, and is really good at it. I think he's been doing it a long before coming to Amity Island. He's suspiciously large for a male Great White, indicating great age. He's covered with scars, indicating battles fought before. Who knows? Africa? Australia? The Mediterranean? Where has he terrorized before? How many more men before Brody, Hooper, and Quint went to sea to try to kill him? I'd like to think Bruce, over his long life, gained experience at combatting men on boats. Perhaps he learned boats mean food? Perhaps he learned that early in his life? It's fun to speculate. For ME, Bruce is monster; old, terrifying, and malevelent.
How to kill Bruce: lure to shore and wait like an hour 😂
4:17 Sorry, but I really don't think there was anything personal for the shark (Bruce) in terms of going after the Orca. It was drawn there by the chum they were dumping overboard, just as the three men intended. (Sharks can smell blood and meat from a very long distance, as they have an extremely powerful sense of smell.)
peter krug I disagree, once it knew they were after it, he came back in the night to sink them.
lucca ferla Agreed, It went after the Orca three times, it might have been lured to it the first time by that chum and Quent first hooking it on piano wire, but those later attacks ranging from Bruce ramming the Orca at night (with his nose certainly, which is the most sensitive area on a shark’s body, but that doesn’t phase Bruce at all with his raw ramming power) to him stalking the Orca and then chasing it points to a creature that takes being hunted by Quient Brody and Hooper VERY personally.
@@LgiovanniF Maybe he thought the ship was an injured whale. That would explain why he apparently stalked them for a long time. Then it noticed that there were smaller prey above the "whale" and so tried to catch them.
@@magnathrax7360 possibly but it doesn't hold when you remember the Shark was already aware of brody as it popped up in the "We're gonna need a bigger boat" scene and it knows Hooper is in the cage, even going so far as to sneak up on him and destroy the cage to get at him.
@@LgiovanniF True. Maybe it just decided to ignore the humans and go for the ship, but then it realized that the ship wasn't food and so decided to attack the humans?
And about the cage, it could easily have noticed Hooper in the cage while he was in the water, and so it sneaked on him. It doesn't mean it already knew Hooper was on the boat. Just a though tho.
I would love to offer solid backing to these theories, but I’m pretty sure that it was just meant to have been a rogue, that was particularly large and strong, and kept being underestimated because of its uncommon traits. Underestimation is why the characters struggle on the Orca. When they first realised how big he was, had they gone back for a harbour cruiser with mounted harpoon and auto rifles, Bruce would have been sushi. But then we wouldn’t have had such an awesome final third.
Bruce is only 4 feet bigger than the largest great white shark found. He was a really old large shark since sharks dont stop growing until they die
Art work and post was awesome. Wonderful job👍🏻👍🏻
Very great vid, thanks BH Pumkinclaw. I believe the true passion lies within our own mind's as to what Bruce was. The use or non-use I should say, of graphics to illustrate what was happening under the water during Chrissies' attack made it so much more alluring and intriguing; having to make use of our own imagination. I think Bruce was a "freak" in the sense that he had some sort of intelligence that surpassed that of just primal instinct. A malicious personality, like a serial killer reincarnated. Please let me put an idea of my own out there. I am just saying, please don't be too harsh with my idea...
Imo, any type of remake would only fall short, very short of the original. Cgi would only take away from it unless used smartly and sparingly. Hence, a prequel. My idea would revolve around a young Quint aboard the USS Indianapolis. The main plot would be after the vessel had sunk and the sailors were in the water. The men were being attacked by sharks, but one bastard shark in particular......Bruce!! Towards the end, as Quint (in his "lifejacket" that he glances uneasily upon) are finally being lifted to safety, he makes eye contact with Bruce. Finally, the last scene would entail an underwater view from Bruces' perspective. Just swimming for about 20 seconds or so. Then have him peer above water only to see a buoy that says "Property of Amity." The same buoy Chrissie clung to. Screen goes black followed by credits.
Just a thought☺!
Thats a cool Idea and would make a pretty awesome fan made short.
BH Pumpkinclaw Thanks!!
FANTASTIC artwork in this video!!! Wow!
You missed one strength fact. He was also dragging the orca too
I like to think that Bruce is a creature that was simply made from hate and evil. I think that Bruce was born from a shark who was recently killed by a hunter, he bit the hunter’s throat before jumping back into the sea, but he was born too early. When he leaped into the water, he was actually in extremely deep water, having nothing but Orcas, sharks, Sperm Whales, and a lot of hunters, so it forced him to become smarter, killing and eating a mako when he was at the age of 2 because he figured out that every shark’s weakness is at the belly, he sliced it open, killing it. Over the many years, he studied and figured out the weaknesses of all of the predators, even getting to the point where he was able to kill a massive Sperm Whale, after so many deaths on his hands, he couldn’t get enough. He soon swam to the beach that Jaws takes place in, and that’s the story. I hope everyone who read this liked it
My favorite shark of all times 😆
The Jaws art is gorgeous
You’ve earned a subscriber. Great content!
Thank you I appreciate it
Great theory 👍 love jaws I always wondered why he was so large
Ben Drowned in Jaws, Ben drowned in Majoras Mask, Jaws and Zelda in the same universe confirmed!

This is deep
Don't forget about the shark at the bottom of the lake hylia laboratory in oot...
Steven Patrick Ben also died in Jurassic Park 3. 😁
That was some incredible art work. And I never comment, ever.
I think you're reading more into the marketing and not the actual story itself. There's very little in Jaws that is not grounded in real life. Okay we can say Spielberg embellished moments like the shark exploding and the dock being pulled from it's foundation for entertainment purposes. And no when people get attacked, there's normally not a 30 piece orchestra playing a stalking theme for effect.
But before you micro manage every moment of Jaws as if only a mystical creature could do this, let's examine what science completely finds normal in this story. He kills one girl who is swimming at dawn when most sharks hunt for food near shore. He doesn't swallow her. She's chewed up and her remains are washed up on the beach, partially intact. Completely within the scope of what has been witnessed and examined in the field.
The dog - An animal peddling in the water like a seal. Case closed.
The boy on the raft - How many times have we talked about sharks looking at objects on the surface ( like a raft or surf board) and mistaking them for something else? Completely normal. Did Jaws attack anyone else packed in the water? No...
Ben Gardner's boat is allegedly rammed and sunk. I'm not sure why people find this outside the parameters of believability. Much smaller sharks ram and stalk boaters. Can you imagine a 25 footer acting in the same manner? See this article from last year.
thewest.com.au/news/wa/esperance-locals-fear-for-safety-of-beachgoers-after-sharks-ram-boats-ng-b88601956z
The Estuary victim. Jaws bumps those boats capsizing each. You have three teens and one adult in the water. Jaws chews up one and yet with all that blood in the water goes right by the others. Monster? Doesn't sound like it.
All that's left after that is Quint. They bait the water and keep the shark in a feeding frenzy. All of that from Jaws breaking into the cage which you can find on countless youtube searches, to the great white coming out of the water (check out the video flying sharks) illustrates what great Whites can do. Does Spielberg embellish the extent of which the shark rams the cage and jump on the boat? Well of course. But we're still talking about a 4 ton creature making up it;s mind it wants to attack.
Jaws is simply a great white that eats four people. Well documented events like this have happen and there's no reason to believe rogue sharks have not eaten people in the surf in a number of different places. These are predators not kittens turned into Lions. So I don't feel Jaws is really all that fictional by any stretch. Encounter a hungry one in the water that looks to be the size of a station wagon and tell me if you feel any safer because it's real. I bet your answer is no.
I think your taking a video just romanticizing the horror of jaws to have fun and not meant to be taken too serious, serious. Called imagination
You seem to take it pretty serious... Called honest evaluation for what you said.
I was taking it from a serious stand point in order to create an entertaining value that people who watch it would accept as attempted reality for creative purposes.If I came from a satirical stand point it would devalue the angle I was creating. Im sure you are a pleasure to watch movies with
Entertainment is subjective. If you're being "creative" to embellish an established story, may I recommend a stronger title than, " What was Bruce?" And why call him the nickname from Spielberg when it actually has nothing to do with the story? What was Bruce? He was a mechanical shark... NEXT!
As I said before I am sure you are a pleasure to watch films with.
I love your video, it's jawsome lol excuse the pun . As another youtuber said
the way you explain thiings is so fascinating it draws us in! yes Bruce was so huge
and formidable!
I think Bruce was a intelligent shark that's why he went after the 3 men to kill his few predators
Even humans would most likely run than attack there predators. anything would only attack its predators if it has the capability to that’s why you don’t see most sharks trying to attack finning boats because they just can’t, there best bet is to swim away, so it doesn’t come down to Intelligence, it just comes down to melevalence and capability, because personally I think jaws was something beyond our pure understanding.
Pretty much the serial killer of the animal world
Love the name , pumpkin claw
Dun dun dun dun dun dun......
Deep Blue: Oh, please that is so old. I am a living peaceful creature.
Based
This is probably the only video of a theory I have found that made me shake my head.
It's a shark. Plain and simple .
The men on the Orca were hunting Jaws not the other way around
And Bruce was hunting them too. There are several times where the shark chases the boat and even attacks the boat to try and get at them.
@@xBloodxFangx yep the shark jumped on boat to kill the hunter
Hey, that Goatboy has some great Jaws art. Thanks for sharing. :)

Frisky Fritz haaaa
Frisky Fritz lol
I was gonna say that. xD
as soon as i heard this i looked for the comment lmao
I was looking for that one guy
I personally agree with you. I think Bruce was a Leviathan.
I don't think it would be possible to pull a wooden dock apart, that being said my housemate is a professional , recreational and trawler fisherman and he said his boat was dragged one night by a shark, and trawlers are big ,even the small trawlers are big boats.
Dammmmm
Pumpkinclaw, I've watched your What Was Bruce and What Was Bruce's Mother video. Just curious if you've done any more JAWS theory videos. Maybe on JAWS 3? That one had the largest shark of the four movies, was it related to the first two sharks?
I have thought about it, it is in my list of ideas to elaborate on, thank you for reminding me
You're welcome! By the way, recently saw your theory video for The Graveyard Shift, love it! Have you done other SK movies? The Dark Half might be a good one - "What Was George Stark Really?"
Bruce was a throwback to a megaladon. Some dormant megaladon genes became dominant and results in a partial megaladon great white.
That's definitely some supernatural logic there then as great whites are only distantly related to megalodons.
I've considered Bruce and the first Jaws a form of metaphore where Bruce is presented as a force of nature, a monster that is far smarter and more vicious than regular sharks, it's like Godzilla. It pursued 3 particular men that attacked it so it wanted revenge- something sharks don't do and it just wasted so much energy and took a lot of damage bashing through the walls of Orca, or getting speared, it's nothing a real predator would do. Maybe a human, but is's worth noting serial killers pick weak prey
I have watched this video a few times. And I've seen some of Discovery Channel's shark week specials. I learn a lot about Great White sharks, it's really cool. And I have also seen the movie Jaws, and it's sequels. And this video is interesting, and it's scary at times.
Thank you I appreciate it
BH Pumpkinclaw I'm glad you liked the comments
BH Pumpkinclaw : I'd like to ask you ask you this question: I've seen a Fan made trailer for a special Fan movie Idea. The Justice League vs the Monsters!! It's a Interesting idea. Michael Myers of Halloween, Jason from Friday the 13th, and Freddy Krueger of nightmare on M St.fame. So tell me what you think about that?
I will deff check it out and let you know. Thank you for letting me know about it.
Thanks my friend
That image of Bruce, at 3:01, with Quint jutting out from his mouth, about to be chewed up and swallowed, is haunting....
I know you said that you didn't want to get into shark diet, but it probably does need to point out that eating four people in a few days would not give Bruce back the energy it expended in eating them, much less in wrecking all the boats it did. Sharks need lots of energy and for great whites the size of Bruce that is supplied by mammals with a LOT of fat: Ie.. whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, and such. Bruce should be starving if he's living solely off humans.
Great point!
Yeah and sharks don't usually put in the effort to kill humans.
Mostly because it is also easier to kill sea lions and sea lions are fatter
My personal theory?
Given the mention of the USS Indianapolis, Bruce was amongst the thousands of sharks that attacked and killed crew members which would explain why he developed a taste for human flesh becoming a maneater and rogue.
Bruce was also unusually large and different looking from other great whites because he was mutated by the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings. That or Bikini Atoll.
I came to this thinking it would be about Bruce from finding Nemo XD.
I really like the artwork paintings in this video. Where did you find it????
well looks like I should have waited till the video was over to post this lol.
