I love that Williams knows so naturally when to transition between adventure, wonder, fear, tension, etc. Spielberg and Williams are the greatest director/composer pairing in Hollywood history.
Scenes like this is what separates Jaws from its sequels. The sequels are your average shark horror flick. The original movie is a timeless classic. Not just making us afraid of the shark, but of the entire ocean as well.
The first 3/4 of Jaws 2 is pretty good though because it focuses on Brody. Roy Scheider is again excellent as Brody. Lorraine Gary has a bit more screen time too.
When he quietly utters ... It's incredible, To himself.... Is about the point in the movie that as brave, experienced and arrogant as he was... Even Quint was realizing he was in deep trouble.
They needed to put just ONE more barrel in him. Just ONE more goddamn barrel. Even Bruce with all his strength wouldn't be able to drag THAT much weight down. He'd soon get too tired to swim, stop getting oxygen in his gills, and die.
The barrels going down and coming back up with ease just shows Bruce is toying with them. Not only fast but smart. It's scary even for a film. Martin getting in his shots knowing it isn't doing any good adds to it. Desperation.
I'm surprised Brody didn't keep shooting. Six .38 slugs in the shark isn't going to do anything. Maybe not eighteen .38 slugs either. But maybe it'd help. Maybe it would lure other sharks to the area. Maybe those sharks would take a bite out of the shark.
@@delanorrosey4730 sensible but I think it was hooper who stated that the shark claimed that as his territory. His and his alone because he's so big and ferocious that they others wouldn't dare unless he was dead. They caught the one small tiger but my guess is that that was one bruce hadn't caught yet and it got lucky. He more than likely already killed all the others.
@@CD-gk9ix Wow. You figured that out all by yourself? I thought it was a real 25 foot shark that went to acting school. Now go watch another CGI superhero movie, kid.
Something that never fails to amaze me in this movie is the handful of time Bruce does make an appearance it’s practically invisible while submerged which is a tactic sharks use in real life and I think it’s why jump scares are more easily handled in shark films when done correctly because it’s a real tactic they do
A legendary performance. Funnily enough, he wasn't Spielberg's favored choice for the role. He wanted Sterling Hayden (the crooked police chief in 'The Godfather.'). But Hayden passed, and producers liked Shaw and pushed for him. The rest is cinema history.
@@hairyisrealyeah,if they did,it’d probably have way more unnecessary deaths,a shit cast,terrible massacre of the plot,a lacklustre ending,and way too many pop culture references to the 70s
I am 42 and still afraid of the ocean because of Jaws. I swim near the shore and when this movie comes into my mind I fastly swim with panic to the beach. Great movie
You need to find "SHADOWS IN THE SEA, the sharks , skates and rays" by Harold W . Mc Cormick, Tom Allen and captain William young. There are plenty of savage documented attacks. My mother bought me this book many years ago to read on the plane. She had no idea what the pages contained. Oh boy, did I have night terrors. I would read the book and when I was sufficiently terrified I would go into my parents bedroom and crawl under the covers between them. My mother once said " why you haven't done this in years ". I said well I will probably be back. Since I still had two more chapters to read, good night mother...
I watched this movie first when i was a kid probably about 7 years old, im now 26 and this movie will forever be a masterpiece for me, ill enjoy this piece of absolute art till the day i die
my favorite thing about this trio is each of them has a different goal in mind for the shark, even though they're supposed to have the same mission. For Quint, he wants the fame and glory of having the sharks head, as a reward not only to prove hes the best hunter but as compensation for his past trauma. For Hooper this shark presents a case study, a new discovery for marine biology. And for Brody, he simply sees this freak of nature as pure evil, a threat that needs to be eliminated, as evidence when he tries to gun it down in the water.
Great observation! I loved the biggest "elephant in the room" sub plot of the movie,.. the tension between Hooper and Quint. Both thought the other were arrogant and had massive egos,.. Which both were probably right. But as the story changed from them hunting the shark to the shark hunting them things change. It's unspoken but they both know the other had a massive amount of knowledge they themselves lacked. And they'll need all of it.
🎯👍🎯! Same here Tut!! Saw it at first showings in MONTUAK!! THAT was a Hoot!! God Bless. BRN. 👴🏽NoBody Films. PS- Don’t forget Quint’s Incredible USS INDIANAPOLIS Story/ Speech!! Even though the Scuttle-Butt was he was stoned-Drunk on Bourbon when it was recorded!!- excellent!
My favorite scene in the movie. From terror and gore to awe and adventure. I loved the music, Hooper's "fast fish" comment, him and Brody smiling in wonder.
Said it before and I'll say it again, if you didn't smile or showed joy when Quint was directing Hooper and both Hooper and Brody were smiling during it then you were not having fun. The soundtrack just adds to their joy and whenever I see it this scene I feel like I'm there.
Agree. One of the most satisfying moments in life is when you find the courage to go against something terrifying and it turns into an exciting, albeit dangerous adventure. The adrenaline rush is kind of addictive, hence many people develop an overbearing passion for extreme sports, or risky activities like bungee jumping, mountain climbing, which folks unfamiliar with the phenomena can not understand.
If you think about it, Quint destroyed the radio because he knew that if Martin got hold of the crew on the island, they would be rescued and it would make the movie shorter, and he wanted it to be longer

2:48 I’m always under the impression that during the scene, the music has a heroic and triumphant tone to it telling us that the shark can’t run forever. John Williams is undefeated when it comes to music
Saw this in theatre during it’s original release in the 70’s. Scary shit back then but an epic timeless classic. The 70’s and 80’s had so many awesome blockbusters.
We are the same age and I saw it the first time in Albuquerque with cousins. Towering inferno didn't stop people from tall buildings and the Poseidon Adventure didn't keep people off ships, but Jaws kept people out the ocean for a long time and still does for me.
That act of taking off the bandana, wiping his face with it and putting it inside his pocket is so awesome. It's like the moment you know things get serious for him. Robert Shaw looks amazing and powerful as he is at the front of the boat ready for action, ready to face whatever lurks beneath the surface.
I just love how the music can seamlessly go from tension filled and stressful to light hearted and happy in the same scene. John Williams truly is the master of music. 🎶
John Williams? The guy responsible for the music of the masterful franchise known as Star Wars? He did the music of Jaws before doing Star Wars?! That’s amazing!!!
The music is a tip of the hat to all the 1940s pirate movies. Williams knows what he's doing. What the music is trying to convey is simply the "Thrill of the Hunt". The high seas!!. Aaaarh Shiver me timbers 5 DEGREES PORT NOW!!
I recommend "Taking of pelham 123" which came out a year before Jaws..one of his best roles .also Tarantino took some cues from that movie when he made Reservoir Dogs.
After all these years,I finally know what some of the words Quint was saying thanks to the subtitles. Some people say Quint’s accent was Scottish or Irish but people from Newfoundland say it is definitely a Newfie accent.
Shaw's accent sounded more classically English in other roles, particularly in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three and From Russia With Love. Definitely not Irish in Jaws, but one could make a case for Scottish
Robert Shaw was drunk most of the filming. He almost lost the role but Spielberg gave him another chance and that’s how we got the uss Indianapolis scene
@brianroman2694 He was well known to like a drink but he only got really drunk just once, during the first take off the USS Indianapolis monologue. He wasn't 'drunk' the rest of the film.
@@sionyevans Last time I watched this film, it was with my Dad the night before he died of lung cancer. He loved it. HIs last words to me..."Stupid Shark".
Does anyone else appreciate the way Quint followed the shark across the stern of the boat, up the starboard while Hooper was loading the gun, took the gun from Mr. Hooper and made a spin, side stepped out to the end of the pulpit, got off a hip shot without aiming into the left side of pectoral fin.
The original Jaws was I think the only one of the whole series in which the shark was convincingly scary. After that, the shark seemed kind of silly, to me at least.
The amount of times the mechanical shark got waterlogged and they had to pause filming for maintenance is why we appreciate these scenes. Still beats CGI sharks though.
One of my favourite movies of all time. No other shark movie has come close to the suspense, horror and acting of Jaws. The score is epic and will stay with me forever. Jaws 2 was watchable but not on par with Jaws
I watched Jaws 2 recently since I saw it while scrolling through the TV guide. Roy Scheider returning as Brody and John Williams returning for the score are the only things that make it watchable.
The animatronic shark stops it from being a truly great film imo. Spielberg should've waited another decade or two to make this film that way we could've gotten a better animatronic
@@masterknife8423 That actually added to the tension, the shark got 4 minutes of screen time. It was about the unseen killer, like in Alien which also gets around 4 minutes of screen time.
The barrels heightened the sense that they were up against more than just another shark. It gave the audience the impression of something more insidious. Wonderfully shot and well done.
Optimal plan: Put 4 barrels in the shark, and then get the fuck out of there and go back to shore. Bruce may be strong, but eventually his muscles will fatigue from dragging 4 heavy flotation barrels around everywhere. Eventually he'll be too tired to swim and drown to his death, just like the strongest weightlifter in the world will eventually go unconscious with a heavy weight permanently attached to his back. The only downside is that they wouldn't actually get to SEE the shark die. But that beats dying yourself.
Why is no one talking about the beginning of this scene where Bruce pulled an uno reverse card and actually learned how to fish!? The barrel is the bait, the rope is the line, the crew is the fish and Bruce is the fisherman. Smart ass fish!
Absolutely!!! From doubtlessly the greatest director the world has ever known. Just tell me another movie director who’s name practically gets higher billing than the movie title itself. I don’t know which cut of JAWS this is but it seems to have a few additional camera shots to the version I’m used to seeing. And a few lines too. Maybe this is a more complete cut of the film than I usually see?
But it 's just fiction: A shark is just a stupid animal, merely an eating machine. No shark would develop a tactic to attack a boat to fight its enemies.
@@arminiusdescendant8022 so what? it's fiction, it's meant be exaggerated, that's what makes it good. everyone knows that. if a batman or lord of the rings movie is good,you give credit where it's due.
One of the (many, many) things I love about the score its variety--it's not all scary suspense music or da-dum-da-dum. There's an infectious spirit of nautical adventure in cues like this. In other words, John Williams = GOAT.
The orca should be in the smithsonian..id cut my arm off to stand on it. Now its scrap wood on a long Island beach..tragic but those were the days that wasn't important..they never thought this movie was going anywhere
You should see the movie 'Duel' from the early 70's with Dennis Weaver, a 1rst great picture from Spielburg on a penny pinching budget, you won't be bored. Robert at 67.
@@bobmalack481 Classic film. My brother and I mentioned it not too long ago actually. Pop quiz: the actress who played Dennis' wife is also the same actress who played Walter Matthau's getaway driving wife in *"Charley Varrick,"* another great film.
I believe Robert Shaw was fresh off of being the villain in the 1974 classic "Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3" when he made this movie. If you recall when "Jaws" came out, people were terrified to take showers for a while after that for fear Great White Sharks would pop through the nozzle and get them. Yep. 1975. That was a stinky summer!
In the book Body wonders if the shark is taunting them with a smile. Quint assures him its just a dumb fish and they always look like they are smiling but Brody isnt fully convinced the shark isnt the devil in fish form.
All great comments. I would just like to add that the lynchpin of this movie is John Williams! This is often overlooked when writing commentary, but Mr. Williams deserves the bulk of the applause!
0:45 Martin Brody: THAT'S GREAT THAT'S JUST GREAT NOW NOW WHERE THE HELL ARE WE EH, YOU'RE CERTIFIABLE QUINT YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE CERTIFIABLE YOU'RE CERTIFIABLE BUT I'LL TELL YOU THIS... Hooper: Boys oh Boys i think he's come back for his noon feeding
“It’s incredible” the way Quint says that adds so much weight to this. He’s seen and killed many sharks in his quest for revenge but has never come across a shark like this. His expertise in this matter really makes the stakes feel all that much higher.
One of the things I love about this shark is that it doesn't leap out of the water to grab humans the way the Meg does in that movie. It is more realistic and builds the tension up....
I guess the elements made continuity difficult, but I can't watch without noticing the sea conditions utterly changing multiple times in one scene. It's blowing a gale until it's dead calm, then gale, dead calm, gale again etc
Your assessment is absolutely bang on. Quint now realized that this creature might just be too big for him to conquer. I got that uneasy feeling when he stared out at the sea and whispered, "It's incredible." Very powerful.
Brody was using a Smith & Wesson Model 15 chambered in .38 specials that barely did anything but maybe if he carried a 44 Remington Magnum he’d probably do more damage
Most people don't realize that the shark in JAWS was an actual trained great white shark named Wilson. It took 14 years to train Wilson to not actually kill people, but the director was determined to use an actual great white shark. During those 14 years of training over 150 stunt actors died while trying to train Wilson.
Spielberg had insurmountable troubles in operating the shark, which forced him to imply the shark by using barrels etc. This, in many ways, made ‘Jaws’ a great film and set the foundations for Spielberg’s magnificent career.
@@masterknife8423 By today's standards? A pretty fucking stupid comment if you ask me. At the time it was done nothing like this had ever been made. It was a huge accomplishment. You wouldn't have Orlando without it.
Amazing how old films with their relatively poor production quality are still better than most films made today even with the technological advances. It's almost like the art of story telling and film making has been lost in the pursuit of technological advances.
Absolutely. Compare this to the contemporary version The Meg It's like an elegant, handcrafted meal compared to a pile of Halloween candy. Sure, the Meg is more colorful and looks pretty, but it's nothing but a series of cheap, high energy, low impact shots. Jaws knows how to pace itself and divide itself into clear acts, and knows to slow down and give you the time to absorb the story, so that the intense scenes stand out more. To quote Mike Stoklasa, "this is what we used to call Movies"
2016 election results coming in 'I'm gonna make a phone call.' 'Hello voters this is the Democratic party come in mayday.' Trump victory declared! 'That's great! That's just great! So where the hell are we huh? You're certifiable Trump you know that you're certifiable!' (leaving on his plane) 'yeah yeah yeah yeah.'
When the shark came out of the water, I get the feeling that quint and hooper were fooled by the shark..like it was baiting them or something for a surprise attack
That shark done cut the captain's hand. Quint busted that CB radio because he is hired to be paid $10,000 to kill the great white, the 20 footer. 25 3 tons of him. Quint was captain of the orca. 🎶 The captain of her heart 🎶
So there I was, 16 years young with a bunch of other kids on vacation in Daytona Florida when we all went to see “Jaws”. After that we were scared to swim in the pool!!!
I love the quick shot where Brody is hangin on smiling thinking "I NEVER thought this would be this fun and adventurous. No wonder these guys love it so much" plus, fuckin John Williams's score. Love it man.
I love that Williams knows so naturally when to transition between adventure, wonder, fear, tension, etc.
Spielberg and Williams are the greatest director/composer pairing in Hollywood history.

I watched Jaws 2 recently since I saw it while scrolling through the TV guide. Roy Scheider returning as Brody and John Williams returning for the score are the only things that make it watchable.
The animatronic shark stops it from being a truly great film imo. Spielberg should've waited another decade or two to make this film that way we could've gotten a better animatronic

@@masterknife8423 That actually added to the tension, the shark got 4 minutes of screen time. It was about the unseen killer, like in Alien which also gets around 4 minutes of screen time.
I love it when the sharky is just smart, not over powered~

@@tech83studio38 Well there is actually a restaurant named “Sharky’s”
Spielberg + Williams + three great performances = gold
The barrels heightened the sense that they were up against more than just another shark. It gave the audience the impression of something more insidious. Wonderfully shot and well done.

The only reason they have the barrels was because the shark kept breaking down
Optimal plan: Put 4 barrels in the shark, and then get the fuck out of there and go back to shore. Bruce may be strong, but eventually his muscles will fatigue from dragging 4 heavy flotation barrels around everywhere. Eventually he'll be too tired to swim and drown to his death, just like the strongest weightlifter in the world will eventually go unconscious with a heavy weight permanently attached to his back. The only downside is that they wouldn't actually get to SEE the shark die. But that beats dying yourself.
Why is no one talking about the beginning of this scene where Bruce pulled an uno reverse card and actually learned how to fish!? The barrel is the bait, the rope is the line, the crew is the fish and Bruce is the fisherman. Smart ass fish!
One of the greatest films ever made
Yes! It has become known as the first blockbuster.
Absolutely!!! From doubtlessly the greatest director the world has ever known.
Just tell me another movie director who’s name practically gets higher billing than the movie title itself.
I don’t know which cut of JAWS this is but it seems to have a few additional camera shots to the version I’m used to seeing. And a few lines too. Maybe this is a more complete cut of the film than I usually see?
I watched it the other day it’s just superb really stood the test of time the cinematic brilliance and music along with the great actors
Most definitely
❤ jaws the movie, very long lines in movie theaters like star wars movie
Stephen Spielberg you are amazing xxxx
Brody: Shoots Bruce with a revolver.
Bruce: That tickled
**Brody: then why are you bleeding ???
Bruce: I uh uhhh then shut up
there's never been a shark movie this good, even with the modern technology available, no movie production could come close to the realism of Jaws
But it 's just fiction: A shark is just a stupid animal, merely an eating machine. No shark would develop a tactic to attack a boat to fight its enemies.
It doesn't even know anything about enemies.
@@arminiusdescendant8022 so what? it's fiction, it's meant be exaggerated, that's what makes it good. everyone knows that. if a batman or lord of the rings movie is good,you give credit where it's due.
@@yoservs I didn't say the contrary. It was an excellent film. And many excellent films are just fiction. That's what films are.
@@arminiusdescendant8022 It seems to me that nature is full of animals that use tactics. You don't need human-like intelligence to do that.
Absolutely genius filming making. The camera work is immense.

As a teenage , it is my honor to be a fan of this movie.
that moment at 1:40 where it's just the shot off the barrel and John Williams stellar score playing just gets me
One of the (many, many) things I love about the score its variety--it's not all scary suspense music or da-dum-da-dum. There's an infectious spirit of nautical adventure in cues like this.
In other words, John Williams = GOAT.
Yeah that’s my favourite scene too
Same just love this scene and the scene with Bruce just after the chief throws the pump away .
And 2:14.
I love how Bruce was fucking with them the whole time. Just waiting it out for the right time to strike.
Greatest shark movie ever jaws 1 and 2 wher the best period
The orca should be in the smithsonian..id cut my arm off to stand on it. Now its scrap wood on a long Island beach..tragic but those were the days that wasn't important..they never thought this movie was going anywhere

Me too. Well, 54 ✌️
I believe Robert Shaw was fresh off of being the villain in the 1974 classic "Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3" when he made this movie. If you recall when "Jaws" came out, people were terrified to take showers for a while after that for fear Great White Sharks would pop through the nozzle and get them. Yep. 1975. That was a stinky summer!
Even though Quint wanted to avenge his own Crew , he manifested his own death by destroying the radio.
It was an everything or nothing kind of move
quint caused all their problems with destroying the radio and burning the engine
Thats one friendly shark who always keeps returning to the boat and saying hello!

In the book Body wonders if the shark is taunting them with a smile. Quint assures him its just a dumb fish and they always look like they are smiling but Brody isnt fully convinced the shark isnt the devil in fish form.
All great comments. I would just like to add that the lynchpin of this movie is John Williams! This is often overlooked when writing commentary, but Mr. Williams deserves the bulk of the applause!
Yes. Perfect score in every aspect.
0:45 Martin Brody: THAT'S GREAT THAT'S JUST GREAT NOW NOW WHERE THE HELL ARE WE EH, YOU'RE CERTIFIABLE QUINT YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE CERTIFIABLE YOU'RE CERTIFIABLE BUT I'LL TELL YOU THIS...
Hooper: Boys oh Boys i think he's come back for his noon feeding
“It’s incredible” the way Quint says that adds so much weight to this. He’s seen and killed many sharks in his quest for revenge but has never come across a shark like this. His expertise in this matter really makes the stakes feel all that much higher.
My first drive inn movie when I was 9 and still remember the experience like it was yesterday!
same here. it was the glenwood springs drive in. the night was almost magical.
@@Monster-ks2yx mine was the mount healthy drive in. Of course it no longer exists in Cincinnati!
We take this classic for granted I can't even imagine how hard it was to get that shark to run in the real ocean
One of the things I love about this shark is that it doesn't leap out of the water to grab humans the way the Meg does in that movie. It is more realistic and builds the tension up....
It literally does it in the climax

I guess the elements made continuity difficult, but I can't watch without noticing the sea conditions utterly changing multiple times in one scene. It's blowing a gale until it's dead calm, then gale, dead calm, gale again etc
The sound track is amazing
Yeah John Williams really did very well in this film
Yup!
I listen to it DAILY 😂
Robert Shaw made that movie. Period.
The shark seems so real and monstrous in it's own way.
When Quint said, "Its incredible", I whinced. He was awed...and human. And he could not admit it out loud.
Quint blew the engine heading to shore on purpose he knew he was defeated the Acting in this film is sensational ⚓️
16:1
4:15
Your assessment is absolutely bang on. Quint now realized that this creature might just be too big for him to conquer. I got that uneasy feeling when he stared out at the sea and whispered, "It's incredible." Very powerful.
It's the moment where he's forced to admit that this is no ordinary shark and it's beyond his power to destroy.
Brody starts shooting
Me: bro your gonna need a bigger gun
Brody was using a Smith & Wesson Model 15 chambered in .38 specials that barely did anything but maybe if he carried a 44 Remington Magnum he’d probably do more damage
The Shark in this movie always seems to have an 'its personal" look on his face,..and in every scene ,..
When it takes Quint. Now THAT is personal.

Most people don't realize that the shark in JAWS was an actual trained great white shark named Wilson. It took 14 years to train Wilson to not actually kill people, but the director was determined to use an actual great white shark. During those 14 years of training over 150 stunt actors died while trying to train Wilson.

i hope this is one movie that hollywood leaves well alone and doesn,t decide it needs a reboot all done with cgi!!!
Spielberg had insurmountable troubles in operating the shark, which forced him to imply the shark by using barrels etc. This, in many ways, made ‘Jaws’ a great film and set the foundations for Spielberg’s magnificent career.
What caused most of the shooting delays on Jaws was not the shark. It was the weather and boats on the horizon.
Did it? The shark animatronic is pretty fucking crap by today's standards. The animatronic at Universal Orlando was more terrifying imo
@@masterknife8423 By today's standards? A pretty fucking stupid comment if you ask me. At the time it was done nothing like this had ever been made. It was a huge accomplishment. You wouldn't have Orlando without it.
The barrels are one of the best things about the movie.
Amazing how old films with their relatively poor production quality are still better than most films made today even with the technological advances. It's almost like the art of story telling and film making has been lost in the pursuit of technological advances.
Absolutely. Compare this to the contemporary version The Meg
It's like an elegant, handcrafted meal compared to a pile of Halloween candy. Sure, the Meg is more colorful and looks pretty, but it's nothing but a series of cheap, high energy, low impact shots. Jaws knows how to pace itself and divide itself into clear acts, and knows to slow down and give you the time to absorb the story, so that the intense scenes stand out more. To quote Mike Stoklasa, "this is what we used to call Movies"
Movies today are just horrible, badly written, super repetitive, and way to much cgi
@@luisvelez1952 *too.....You lose credibility when you make a mistake of 3rd grade spelling.
Movies today waste to much money and try to hard

When the shark came out of the water, I get the feeling that quint and hooper were fooled by the shark..like it was baiting them or something for a surprise attack
Hooper: “he’s come back for his noon feeding”
Bruce: “I hope they don’t give me that barrel s**t agian”
IMO one of the best shots of the shark at 0:02
I would actually say it's one of the worst for some reason. It gives me sequel vibes for some reason with that music.

I love Robert Shaw
Amo a Robert Shaw aunque ya se fue hace tanto tiempo....😢😢😢
Love the musical score, absolute masterpiece!
So there I was, 16 years young with a bunch of other kids on vacation in Daytona Florida when we all went to see “Jaws”. After that we were scared to swim in the pool!!!
I had a fear similar to that as well untill you realize he will be dead in a minute in a pool water due to the chemicals in it
Me too
It can not be killed. Devils can not be killed. You protect your self by your mind and believes thoughts and attuide. Thank you.
I love the quick shot where Brody is hangin on smiling thinking "I NEVER thought this would be this fun and adventurous. No wonder these guys love it so much" plus, fuckin John Williams's score. Love it man.
Legendary, man.
That shot with Brody smiling during the chase and John Williams music is just going full tilt sea hunt the whole film takes flight.
25 foot shark at a range of less than 5 metres and Brody still manages to miss with his gun 😂😂
