    When I heard that Jaws was being made into a movie I freaked out. I had picked up a copy of the book at a gift shop at the airport before going home on leave from the USAF. It was obviously a popular book,there were stacks of them everywhere. I started it on the plane and couldn’t put it down. When I was transferred to Lowry AFB in Denver and the movie came out I went to see it the first Saturday it was out. I went to the theatre and stood in line for two hours for the showing hours later. Needless to say I made friends with the people I was in line with. We finally got our chance to go inside and the couple I made friends with we sat together. When the scene came on where Hooper and the Chief were out in Hoopers boat and Hooper’s in the water checking out the wrecked boat,when the owners head drops down through the hole in the bottom my new friend taps his girlfriend on the neck. She screams and just about jumped in my lap. Everybody in the theatre screamed. That was the emotional setting for the rest of the film. Jaws today may be a little tame for todays viewers but in 1975,it scared the hell out of audiences. I haven’t been in the ocean since this movie came out,and I grew up in Florida! Thank you Steven Spielberg!

    • @lazygirl5653
      @lazygirl5653 4 роки тому +2

      That happened to me as well, minus the Ichthyologist part. I was probably too young to see Jaws when I saw it, but instead of making me fear the ocean, I just wanted to know more and more about sharks and I've always loved the beach/ocean.

    I have always wondered why Richard Dreyfuss didn't return for Jaws 2, now I know why. It was purely because he wanted a much bigger salary. I always thought that it was because he was filming both Close Encounters of The Third Kind and The Goodbye Girl, while Jaws 2 was in production.

      It’s one of a Hollywood’s biggest myths that Shaw hated Dryfuss . They had an incident at the start of shooting where Dryfuss threw Shaws drink into the sea after he asked him to hold it . Shaw then soaked him with a fire hose . Dryfuss admits Shaw after that “ had his number “ and speaks fondly of him
