The segment that hits, was the story about the USS Indianapolis. This was a true story. I joined the US Navy many years ago. If there is one thing every sailor past, present, and future has in common, is the angst of what can happen at Sea. Thoughts of any disaster that would call for "abandon ship" draws dark imaginations of what could be waiting in the water. Every time I hear this story in the film, I think how fortunate I was to end my service in one piece, and a sound mind.

My mother took me to this film at the drive-in when I was 5. Before you call Social Services she had a specific reason. I was born on Martha's Vineyard specifically when this film was being shot. I didn't go to the initial screening but this film was shown for years afterwards at drive-ins especially during summer and she wanted me to be able to see it on the big screen instead of years later on TV. The most funny part is as we were sitting in the car watching she was completely terrified and I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. The moment when Dreyfus is underwater investigating the sunken boat and the head pops out of that hole my mom jumped so bad she hit her head on the top of the car. I laughed my little butt off.

An ancestor to this story is the Henrik Ibsen play Enemy of the People, in which there are two brothers, one opening a spa, the other a scientist who determines that the water source for the spa is poison, but for his trouble he gets branded an "enemy of the people." Another great Robert Shaw movie is The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (the original), with a great unique score. It features Walter Matthau as, believe it or not, a hero, Jerry Stiller as his coworker, and one of the best last lines in any movie.

The number of sharks killed purely because of Jaws was a literal dop in the ocean compared to the numbers wiped out by the Asian shark finning industry, regular commercial gill net and long line by-catch and the beach netting programmes, and shark fishing was already popular well before Jaws. Jaws is overly blamed for declining shark populations. The flip side is positive. Thanks to Jaws, a mass interest in sharks occurred and this lead to more study and eventually more knowledge and understanding. Benchley said he was thrilled to get letters from young kids who wanted to study sharks instead of killing them.

That story Quint is telling is a true story that happened during WWII to the USS Indianapolis. It delivered a vital part of the atomic bomb and on the way back to the US, the battleship sunk and the men left stranded in Tiger shark infested waters. It's a very complex tragic story, and I think it being a part of Quint's story in this was brilliant. I was so stoked to see this out Mia, I LOVE your videos. I was ALWAYS fascinated with Great White sharks as a kid, and I still love them. They are an absolutely beautiful powerhouse of the ocean. A Jaws fun fact, the mechanical shark used in this was named Bruce after Spielberg's lawyer 😉 A little shark fact: The Great White shark is responsible for the most attacks on people, the Tiger shark is #2, and the Bull shark ranks 3rd. In defense of my Great Whites, scientist say most Great White attacks are due to curiosity and mistaken identity.

The largest Great White Shark we ever caught was over 22 feet long. If a 25 footer was ever found, it would be noteworthy, but not impossible to believe. Great Whites are not the fastest fish, but they are not slow either. National Geographic reports them moving at speeds up to 35 miles per hour. The USS Indianapolis is in our history books. Quint blamed the sharks for all the deaths which is not exactly true. Quint is an interesting character driven by PTSD. No doubt shark hunting is his way of handling that memory with payback. Chief Brody's constant need to call on the radio for help was frustrating Quint. Quint had already survived the Indianapolis without a radio, so he felt confident enough to smash that one. He wasn't going to let any help come in and steal away his latest & greatest shark conquest. Besides that, if word gets around that a prolific shark hunter had to call for help - his shark hunting business would suffer. One of my favorite scenes is when Jaws goes under with 3 barrels and Quint realizes for the first time that he is in over his head.

Interesting story about the casting of Chief Brody (Roy Scheider's) wife (from online): "At the time of filming, Mr. Zanuck was married to actress Linda Harrison (Nova in the original Planet of the Apes) and he had promised Ms. Harrison that she would play the role of Ellen Brody. Unfortunately, Spielberg wanted actress Lorraine Gary who was married to Sid Sheinberg, the head of Universal. Lorraine got the part and Zanuck went to Sheinberg, worried at how he was going to tell his wife she didn’t get the part. Mr. Sheinberg picked up the phone and called producer William Frye, who was currently producing Airport 1975. “Bill,” Sheinberg said into the phone, “you’ve got another passenger on your plane.” Ms. Harrison not only shows up on the plane but was later featured in both Cocoon films as well as the Apes reimagining."

At the time JAWS came out my dad owned a fishing boat out of Oceanside, Ca. I made some cash from people that were both scared but also interested in seeing a large Great White like the one in the movie as there had never been a shark that size in any movie t.v.series or Seaquarium. So they paid me to take them out to look for one. Several times off of San Clemente Island I came across the same 17' long female Great White and while she wasn't as big as 'Bruce's' 25'feet in length her size still impressed my clients/charter.

There's a good documentary on the Indianapolis. Most of the sailors died from drinking salt water & exposure and not sharks.

I was very worried that I might have to shoot a shark. Here we are in its house and attacking it for being there. No sharks showed up, but I kept a very sharp eye out thinking an early warning would prevent the necessity of violence.

Unknowns? Everybody in the universe knew these guys from American Graffiti (Dreyfuss), half the movies in Hollywood (Shaw), and best of all William Friedkin 's The French Connection (Scheider). List only The Sting for Shaw and you really HAVE covered everyone in the universe. Charlton Heston? Most people would have asked if he were still around. Charlton Heston was born 40 years old and only aged until he was 50. Okay, those guys were not in the lead spots, but they were almost-leads in 3 mega blockbusters. Just like Burt Reynolds was co-lead in Deliverance and vaulted into superstardom based on his portrayal of Lewis in that film (while Jon Voight walked off with the movie and proved only that, yeah, he really WAS the great actor Midnight Cowboy promised), Richard Dreyfuss was thrown into a superstardom that got him an Oscar for The Goodbye Girl in 77 and in 82 got him a "Missing Persons" report. Schneider got ALL THAT JAZZ and Shaw got exactly the same parts he had always played in movies, the really scary bad guy who somehow possessed as much charisma as the leads. Actually I remember Jaws getting compared to Deliverance and Howard Hawks' Suspense Blueprint from Rio Bravo and The Thing From Another World (put a small group of very likeable people in danger with only one way out and keep the body count low because we LIKE people too much to kill them off). Only classicists remember those 2 or 3 films now, but the comparisons were in fact made at the time. In fact, Carpenter's remake of The Thing 1982 was almost universally reviled when it came out because the characters violate that most Hawksian viewpoint of likeability. Carpenter's group was so irksome as to raise the notion of "well, hell! I can't stand these men. Who cares if they get killed off?" And at least Spielberg didn't go out of his way to make the trio of leads annoying. Their loose cameraderie are why this movie was successful.

29:36 Quint’s monologue about the USS Indianapolis was written (in an uncredited script doctoring) by writer-director John Milius, who directed THE WIND AND THE LION (1975) the same year as this film, and had also worked on the screenplays of the first two DIRTY HARRY movies as well as the original screenplay for Francis Coppola’s APOCALYPSE NOW (1979). He also was a producer on Spielberg’s 1979 epic comedy 1941, and later became best known for directing CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982), Arnold Schwarzenegger’s breakthrough hit, and the original RED DAWN (1984).

Thanks for your behind the scenes on jaws. Great info and video. As you celebrate summer, consider watching A Summer Place starring Troy Donahue a nd Sandra Dee. 1959 movie. There is one actress that is so good you will enjoy disliking her.

A dead shark in the water actually repels other sharks. When dead their bodies release a chemical that other sharks recognize and alerts them that the area presents a danger or a hazard and they stay away from it.

11:57 What the _"24 hours is like 3 weeks"_ statement actually means is that for every 24 hours in which summer tourists can't go to the beach will result in a loss of 3 weeks income for the small business owners of Amity Island. Remember as the mayor said, Amity is a summer town in which all the residents' livelihoods depend almost entirely on the summer tourism, much like Cape Cod, Massachusetts or Cape May, New Jersey. It wasn't meant to be an exaggeration of how long a day without the beach feels. And it's a summer holiday to boot. Closing on or around July 4th, up north in a beach town? You can't make up that kind of money.

That shark was huge. Even though his head came apart there was enough to feed any sharks attracted to the blood. 🦈 ❤

Technically, you don't drown the shark you suffocate it. It is just called drowning because the animal dies from lack of oxygen.

The nastiest moment in this movie is not when they find the girl's remains at the beginning, nor when they cut the tiger shark open. It's when Brody takes Hooper's glasses and holds them in his mouth. I don't even put MY OWN glasses in my mouth.

Spielberg wanted to 'show/use' the shark earlier in the film but was forced to use the barrels as a 'substitution' for the shark because it kept breaking down ( yeah. look up the shark--quite the piece of movie machinery for 1974 ). Not showing the 'monster/villain' till the 'end' was a technique of Hitchcock in his films....so Spielberg fell back on that...and it worked wonderfully. The tension between 'Quint' & 'Hooper' was real....the two actors did NOT get along on-set. Sidenote > Robert Shaw's (Quint) son has written a hit stage play about the three actors and this 'tension' with their talking/arguing/debating while waiting/drinking all the time on the set-boat in the middle-of-the-ocean while the shark was being repaired. He sometimes plays his father in the play as he looks identical to him. Those 'ocean' shots WERE filmed at sea...no-back-lots ---first time that was done. The only one that wasn't was the scene with 'Ben Gardner's' boat...that scene was added post-production and Spielberg filmed it in a swimming pool---that's why it's at night with 'drifting fog'. 20ft GW sharks have been photographed with good evidence of 25ft ones...yes they do reach 3 tons. Spielberg gave his shark some 'mystical' abilities in order to heighten the fear, but what researchers ( real Hoopers ) have discovered is that GWs don't like humans as food and when a human is killed it's because the shark thought the person WAS their favorite food > seals/sea lions or it was 'taking-a-taste' which usually proves fatal to us.

29:35-30:31 Apparently Spielberg said he'd only consider doing another 'Jaws' movie if it was a prequel about the Indianapolis ship. That's.....a true story it turns out. It wasn't just sharks that killed most of the people there though......

9:54 "Pruning" of your fingers and toes is actually not a bad thing, it's something we evolved with, the leading theory behind it is because it helps you grip things better underwater.

you were impressed by the chemistry between Brody and his wife. When Hooper was at the house eating dinner Ellen sat there denigrating her husband by revealing his fear of water to a perfect stranger. Most men would consider it a betrayal. When Brody snapped back with "drowning" you could tell he was pissed about it. in the book Ellen and Hooper had an affair. In the movie Hooper was portrayed as a nerdy scientist, in the book he was anything but. he was a sophisticated dude from New York. Ellen wasn't happy living in Amity, she longed for the excitement of NYC, and Hooper was a reminder of that.

I gotta defend sharks here: 1. Sharks don't eat humans. Pretty much ever. The fish in this movie is a psychopath on a level that only humans ever manage. Might as well be a dude in a hockey mask with a machete. At least that might be believable. This is not. Sharks don't do this. Think of it like you deliberately eating a raw, filthy rat. You just wouldn't ever do it on purpose. 2. Sharks almost never even bite humans. Very rarely and almost alway on accident. They make a mistake, think it's biting a seal or something, then lets us go and swims away. It won't make the same mistake twice. Think of it like you biting a raw, filthy rat by accident. You would spit it out and make sure to never do that again. 3. Sharks eat, then swim. They keep swimming. They are not territorial. Or at least, sharks that feed at or near the surface are not territorial, and the bottom-dwelling reef sharks are never the ones that bite us, not even on accident. And when I say they keep swimming, I mean they swim far, far away. The shark that bit Chrissy would have swum a hundred miles away before little Alex Kintner got bit which would have to be a different shark. 4. Sharks with teeth aren't this big. Ever. Seeing this shark, this big, is like seeing a 10' foot tall man. It just never happens. When you put those 4 real-life facts together, then you realize this movie is not about a shark. It's about an oversized monstrous psychotic fish psychopath. And because of those 4 points, mayors in the real world don't close beaches. Oh, sure, if a shark mistakenly bites a human early in the day, they might close the beach for a few hours to give the shark time to move along, swim far far away. Sometimes they don't even do that much. Seriously, just 5 minutes later, the shark is almost certainly a full mile away and won't be coming back. Finally, some real life statistics: In the U.S., about 250,000,000 people go to the beach every year and most go into the water. Sharks are everywhere, all the time. G00gle it: "sharks swimming with humans" and watch the countless videos of people playing in the ocean with many sharks swimming all around them, and nothing bad happens. Every year, there are fewer than 50 shark bites. That means only 1 person in 5,000,000 gets bit. Fewer than 5 of those bites each year are fatal, but not because the shark at the person, but usually caused by shock, blood loss, or drowning after the bite. There is a list of U.S. beaches that has been tracking all fatal shark attacks for more than 100 years now. Based on this movie, Amity would be #5 on that list just counting the 5 people who died in the movie (Chrissy, Alex, Ben Gardner, the Scout Master, and Quint). Only 4 beaches in the entire USA have had more shark fatalities than this movie. But wait - those 5 cities needed more than 100 years to reach the top of the list; Amity did it in under a week. Quite the amazing record for our oversized monstrous psychotic fish psychopath. And now, back to your regularly scheduled monster movie...
