I put this movie off for so long bc deep ocean is a big no for me lol. I was really nervous going into this one BUT it's Spielberg and it's John Williams and I knew I couldn't avoid such an iconic movie forever!

So here I am.. actually GLAD I watched this one!It's incredible how much tension this movie creates without relying on constant action. Just watching everyone go about their daily sunbathing and ocean swimming lives was enough to give me heart palpitations after that first scene LOL.I loved the cast in this, too! Robert Shaw as Quint absolutely stole the show for me.. I recognized him from The Sting as Lonnegan, but here? WOW. He was incredible. The emotional whiplash I went through during their drunken chat comparing scars and stories on the boat.. He was such a fascinating character to watch.This movie was 100% worth the experience and sore throat from screaming so much.Sorry about anyone's eardrums out there btw 😂Also I had NO idea this was a 4th of July movie! Crazy timing as usual hahahaThank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿SYNC ALONG LINK: https://youtu.be/1qGKpmicIGkI watched this on Amazon Prime (Rented)

OMG KALIWALI, WE ARE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT!!! 🏊‍♂️🦈 🛥

Looking forward to this reaction. I love how this film is more about interactions between people and to a certain extent a film about family, then it is a 'monster movie'. And the ability to build suspense and keep you there is masterful - much like the original Alien movie in a lot of respects.

Richard

Hey you got through it! You're an old pro at this stuff now - Alien, Predator, Jaws, etc etc. Yeah I don't like open water at all myself, and I'm not a strong swimmer so that just adds to the fear. Something about those soulless eyes sharks have, just gives you the heebie-jeebies. Sharks are a funny one - if you're afraid of them, just stay away from the water! Obviously easier said than done. Reminds me of the "Land Shark" skit they did on Saturday Night Live way back when this came out. You're totally right about Shaw and Speilberg and Williams, everything is just top notch like everything Speilberg has done. Now with this out of the way you can enjoy the rest of your summer. 😂 THANK YOU for the Twitch clip! And yikes your nails-on-the-chalkboard reaction; and then the corpse's head that appeared 😵 Awesome reaction, keep 'em coming. Apologies for my reposting my Independence Day comment from Patreon to YouTube, I wasn’t sure if you were going to see it and I wanted to ask about the YouTube button. 🥳

rubberkidney

Man, that thumbnail looks like your catcalling the shark: "Ayo shark! You lookin' sharp, baby."

Robert da Spruce

Duh duh…duh duh…🦈 Who knew two notes could evoke such a emotional response I guess that’s why John Williams is the GOAT Looking forward to your reaction! Hope you have a great holiday weekend!

My brother went with friends to see "Jaws" at its initial theatrical release in 1975. When Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) was in the water looking for forensic evidence and the unexpected happened, my brother told me that he kicked the back of the seat in front of him so hard that it probably startled the other moviegoer even more.

Steve Mercier

"Y'know, by the end of that first dawn... lost a hundred men. I dunno how many sharks. Maybe a thousand. I dunno how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin', Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland--baseball player, boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up... bobbed up and down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. Young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and come in low and three hours later, a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. Y'know, that was the time I was most frightened, waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a life jacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway... we delivered the bomb."

William

Looking forward to this reaction. This has been, and still remains, my favorite film of ALL TIME. I can still remember seeing this for the first time at the drive-in back in ye olde seventies. To say that this film makes in impression would be an understatement. 🦈

Chuckles1004

Are you okay Kali? Yayyy!! She did it. The literal scariest movie of all time and greatest jump scare. To think, this was PG. smh The movie invented the summer blockbuster and made Spielberg and John Williams household names. Thank You. I'll definitely be watching this on repeat. Hahaha

Narutoanime16

Yesss! Only ever saw this movie twice 😂don’t swim again lol

Joe W

This is definitely one of those movies you introduce to every generation, just like LOTR! Also, is there a place, whether through DMs or group chat or whatever, where I can suggest a TV show to be added to the ever-growing list of things for you to watch? lol 😏

Chuckles1004

Can you imagine, Spielberg made this when he was 26 years old. Crazy! In the book, the shark survives and swims off....after eating the "scuba guy," Richard Dreyfuss' character. Richard Dreyfuss also stars in Spielbergs', Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Paul Wright

There's a channel for recommendations on her Discord server.

Glen Roberts

As someone mentioned, Spielberg's next movie after this is "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", also starring Richard Dreyfuss. My favorite Spielberg movie, it's about aliens but takes place on earth. Not a horror though, more of a mystery/investigation plot. Right up your space/alien loving alley. :)

LeRezwarrior

One of the biggest jumpscare I've seen you had. Great Classic.

Paul Ark

Another great reaction! BTW, Buster Brown is an old brand of children’s shoe (as well as a 1900’s era comic strip character). Highly recommend you watch more of Richard Dreyfus’ work; he is one of the all-time great actors.

M1 Maz

The 'fellowship of film' group chat here on her Patreon is basically a movie/show recommendation space now haha. That would be the ideal place :)

Justyn

this is my first time seeing this and its gotta be one of my favorites of recent memory now. i really love the editing, espectially the first beach scene when it gets closer to the chiefs face each time a person walks by or cuts back and forth between him and the crowd ending with the iconic dolly zoom shot. i LOOOVE how many shots there are with super black shadows and silhouettes and the darkness reflecting in the water. and was suprised at how actually terrifying it ended up being in the third act. ive always been kinda scared when it comes to water anyway but holy moly the tension had me clutching my cat like a security blanket. im not supised at how good this is, but i am suprised by how much i like it. and oh my god that monologue about the shark attack in the war. one of the best ive seen.

mitchhamilton64

what a coincidence that this movie takes place during the 4th. i completely forgot about that. notoriously, the shark animatronic was difficult to get to work when they wanted it to. as a result, steven went with minimizing the sharks appearance on screen which lead to probably a better movie since we never fully see the shark until the end, adding to the suspense. the crew named the shark bruce. the kid first eaten towards the beginning is named Alex Kintner. years later the actress that played his mother went into a sandwich shop in Massachusetts and noticed that one of the things on the menu was called an "Alex Kintner." amused, she told the staff that she played the mother to the boy that item is named after. the staff told the manager and to her surprise, out came the actor who played her son, jefrey vorhees. he had quit acting and opened the sandwich shop. its funny you mention the other jaws. they decrease in quality with the absolute worst being jaws 4 starring michael caine who had this famous quote about it. Caine was asked "Have you seen the film?" to which he responded "No, but i've seen the house it bought and its quite lovely, thank you."

Howie

This is the first time I'm watching a movie I've never seen before along with a reactor! I was surprised at how slow-burn the story was despite it being a horror/thriller. It was super fun to be jump-scared along with you! Spielberg was really ahead of his time and knew how to spin a great movie. By the way, Richard Dreyfuss is a pretty famous actor. He was the grown-up Gordie who was narrating the movie in Stand By Me, and also starred in another Spielberg blockbuster, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. And since you love music so much, I recommend Mr. Holland's Opus.

pinkdino99

Richard Dreyfuss is an incredible comic talent. Please consider ; What About Bob - hypochondriac Bill Murray stalks his uptight new psychiatrist (Dreyfuss) on his family vacation. Adorable Stakeout - cult classic comedy thriller where Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez are buddy cops on a "shit detail" assignment that ends up getting serious There were two rules when making movies back in the pre-CGI era... never shoot in snow or on water. The reasons for this became starkly apparent to Spielberg and his team as they realised how difficult it is to match the light on shots day to day through a series of months on the ocean, and how annoying it is to have a shot lined up and some slow assed cargo ship creeps into view and spends the next two hours crawling across the horizon. The town is 100% real, and eventually turned hostile towards the cast and crew whom definitely outstayed their welcome. The beach shots were filmed off season, and everyone was freezing in their bathing suits (you can see the occasional grimace from the extras). Dreyfuss and Shaw did not get on. Dreyfuss was an up and coming movie star and had the women fawning all over him which rubbed the aging Shaw up whom decided to take every opportunity to take the young actor down a peg or two. In the book Hooper and Ellen Brody had an affair which the Chief finds out about just as they go out on the ocean together. Jaws 2 is watchable, and ruined me as an 8yr old that was WAAAAAAAAAY to young to watch it. I had a phobia of open water which I carry to this day. Yet there are videos on YouTube that show sharks as sea puppies that like nothing more than nose rubs and belly scratches from divers in deep sea, way away from where they would usually be hunting. One diver shows a massive 15 ft tiger shark that comes for love every time he is in the water, and had followed him 1,000s of miles to see him. Another removes fish hooks from shark's mouths, the sharks 100% understanding the process even allowing her to reach full into their mouths to reach the hooks. Some sharks would swim away, then lead other sharks with hooks to this good Samaritan. The more I study the more I admire and begin to love these incredible creatures that have been swimming our oceans for 450 million years. Jaws 3 is awful, a cocaine fuelled nightmare for cast and crew. And Jaws 4 is considered one of the worst movies ever made. It does not even fall into that "so bad it's good" category, a rare genre of movies that despite their utter inadequacies, somehow remain entertaining (a genre I specialise in and collect voraciously). Great reaction as always. I look forwards to some more real classics.

ButtercupsTrueLove

In the late '70s, my girlfriend and I went to Universal Studios in SoCal. We were on some sort of motorized tram that toured the theme park. When we got to the "Jaw" attraction, we were warned ahead of time by the tram operator that the mechanical shark often frightened guests when it charged the shoreline near the tram. My girlfriend wanted to get a good photo so I wrapped my arms around her waist while she leaned out, ready to snap a pic. I said, "Remember - it's a mechanical shark", and she said, "I know." When the shark charged towards us and reared up partly out of the water as it got close, my girlfriend screamed and backed up, head-butting me in the nose. Other than that, I thought the shark replica looked pretty good and the mechanism providing the motion was great to watch.

Bill Bowron

Saw this for the first time with my dad when I was only 7. Traumatized me for life! lol Now it’s one of my all time favs! The OG summer blockbuster. And the movie that introduced us to Spielberg and John Williams! Williams also does the music in the second one, which is worth a watch, imo. But as far as the rest of the franchise goes, after the first two, don’t waste your time. Just my opinion, though. So glad you decided to watch this, Kali! Your reaction was priceless!

Soopa

Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women!!!

Hans Engelen

Next up ... The Abyss ... Come on guys :)

James Park

Hey Kali would you watch a snake movie for Halloween i know you're deathly scared of them but would make for great content you're run in with snakes on rdr2 were so funny (i dont mean to be mean)

20 16

Man you talking about gaming makes me miss your gaming content lol . That's how I found you actually and became one of your first patron supporters. Also when he said "I'll draw him into the shallow and drown him " it's because sharks breathe by passing oxygen into there gills by swimming . If they cant swim they don't get oxygen and suffocate. So he was hoping to get the shark stuck in the shallow which would end up with the shark funnily enough drowning.

Soul Kloud

Hey! you're watching the movie that got me into swimming lol, its a dream of mine to swim with sharks. I'm happy you got to watch this awesome movie finally. I hope you will watch Deep Blue Sea as well. Also, fun fact for your anime journey. In the summer of Japan it's spooky season. This is because of Obon festival, as you continue to watch more anime. You'll see more scary in the summer than in the fall. Making Jaws a great pick for scary and summer fun lol.

Holy Arathi

This movie didn’t much for cinema! The dialogue paved the way for greats like Aaron Sorkin and Tarantino, helped propel the horror genre into what it became late 70’s early 80’s. It created the very idea of the summer blockbuster. But man, the damage it did to sharks reputations was horrifying. This movie terrified an entire generation of people. And still I love this movie.

20 16

"Fun" fact the creator of the orginal book jaws and steven Spielberg have both said they regret making there book and movie with the book creator spending the rest of his life actually supporting shark conservation as he was so regretful. As there work basically made sharks wildly feared throughout the world ,before then usually only people on the coastline ever thought about sharks being scary . There work led to a shark fear frenzy where people either killed sharks because they thought they were cold killing machines or wanted to catch the biggest shark like in the movie . This eventually lead to where about 100 million sharks are killed every year to about ten people total being killed by sharks . With most of those being accidental bites as a humans look very similar to sharks main prey of seal from below. Usually they will leave after figuring out you aren't a seal . Meaning that the true deaths from intended biting are much lower.

20 16

Yeah the creator actually dedicated himself to shark conservation after the damage it did to the shark population

Chuckles1004

Kali watched 2 of the best monologues of all time in back to back movies. The "We will fight" speech in Independence Day and the "USS Indianapolis" speech in Jaws. BTW, The Indianapolis sinking and horrors was a true story. Biggest feeding frenzy ever. #RiP

Holy Arathi

Apparently Shaw and Dreyfuss had more than a few fights on set. They hated each other. Came to blows once if I remember correctly.

TheJoeKerr

The shark wasn’t the scariest thing in the movie. It was the nails on a chalkboard 😂

MGH

Fun fact: The reporter in glasses on the beach was the author of the original book and co-writer of the screenplay, Peter Benchley.

Liam Harrold

Fun fact Roy Scheider stated in an interview that in the scene where Lee Fierro (Mrs. Kintner) smacks him in the face, she was actually hitting him. Apparently, the actress could not fake a slap and so the seventeen takes were some of the "most painful" of his (Scheider's) acting career. Also, Lee Fierro stated in several interviews that in one of the takes when she slapped Roy Scheider, his glasses fell off.

MGH

Spielberg actually envisioned a very different movie with a very active animatronic shark, but the shark never worked as planned, so he had to adapt... The result is this much more suspenseful masterpiece.

Michael Enos

Kali at the most unhinged I have seen her.

Michael Enos

Really though.. they do not make films like this anymore. The amount of time they took to develop the characters and relationships. This time with Kali is the 1st time I have watched it all the way through in a while.

Michael Enos

if you go on.. I wouldn't watch further than Jaws 2. it's the only other one that Roy Scheider is in. And If I recall..it only gets more ridiculous after that. I would use that time to watch another Spielberg epic.. Close Encounters Of The Third Kind with Richard Dreyfuss in the lead this time. loved this reaction. Happy 4th!

Ron White

The Events of the USS Indianapolis so stunningly recited by Robert Shaw really happened. Buster Browns were a brand of reasonably priced, rugged everyday shoes for school kids in the early to middle part of the 20 th century. The red streaks in the sky were shooting stars that were CGI'd in after the fact. The underwater shark footage was of real sharks which was shot by the Australian husband and wife team of Ron and Valerie Taylor who were among the first to ever film Great Whites in open water without a shark cage for protection.

KamikazeCDN

Great movie - a masterclass in building tension, with fantastic performances from the entire cast, especially Robert Shaw during his monologue on the boat. I still say, "Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes," to this day. However, I absolutely hate watching it every time I do. I'm firmly in the "don't like open deep water" club. Anytime there's a shot where the camera dips just beneath the surface of the water, I get incredibly uncomfortable. I can watch any slasher or other horror movie and love it, but this movie always gets to me. Sometimes I wonder if watching this movie at such a young age caused my thalassophobia, or if it simply amplified a fear that was already there.

Chris Waltman

One of the best aspects of this movie wasn't planned. The shark was originally going to have much more screen time. But it was a giant mechanical shark that kept malfunctioning. This caused Spielberg to scale it back, and use the shark sparingly. This made "Jaws" a much more suspeful and mysterious character. Glad you finally experienced this cinematic icon with us Kali.

Walker

You have seen Richard Dreyfus as the author and father at the end of Stand by Me. He’s also in a great movie called Mr. Hollands Opus. “These aren’t the squalis your looking for” lol They should not be going into the water at that temperature at night with pneumonia. Kali, always the medical professional first and foremost. 🩺⚕️🦈 😘

MorahSDG

I love that I could every bit of tension and feeling on Kali's face for this one, this one *really* got some good reactions and emotions out of you! Poor Quint getting eaten alive had you in absolute shambles and hysterics, it was great! Haha Another great start to the summer movie marathon!

Andy Jordan

Great reaction as always, Kali. Richard Dreyfuss played Hooper, whom you've seen as the adult Gordie LaChance briefly onscreen at the beginning and end of and narrating "Stand by Me". He actually starred in Spielberg's next film after Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a pioneering sci-fi masterpiece. I cannot recommend enough The Shark is Still Working (a reference to the phrase "The shark is not working" being a common refrain heard on set during production), a documentary about Jaws, on your own time, if nothing else. As others have noted, Jaws is credited with being the first summer blockbuster, and there are some reasons for this: prior to Jaws, summer was the time of year when studios would release their cheapest, low-faith films because people spent their time outside during the summer instead of indoors at the cinema. But 1975 was a perfect storm of circumstances: as you noted in the credits, it was based on the Jaws novel, which was a giant success, staying on the NYT bestseller list for nearly a year. Then, the early pre-release screenings tested so well that Universal were highly confident that they had a hit on their hands, since it tested so well and was based on a recent hit novel. Prior to Jaws, films would be released to individual theaters, one or a few at a time, and relied on word-of-mouth to spread a film's popularity. But Universal decided to take a chance with a film that tested highly based on a novel everyone loved, and spent the majority of their advertising to television rather than print media, and released Jaws in 450 theaters nationwide simultaneously, and the gamble paid off. Hence, the birth of the summer blockbuster. Jaws won three Academy Awards: Editing (Verna Fields), Sound Design (Robert Hoyt) and netted John Williams the first of his four Oscars for Best Original Score, and it was also nominated for Best Picture. The red things you noticed in the sky were shooting stars, and they're a bit of a Spielberg trademark, as he's put them in a handful of his other films. He had a profound experience as a kid when his father took him to see a meteor shower, and it sparked his interest in space, a subject of several of his films. It wasn't until the groundbreaking film Tron (1982) that computers were used for film animation, and it was a painstaking process for which Tron was denied eligibility for the Best Visual Effects Oscar in 1983 because the Academy considered using computers for animation "cheating", even though it was the opposite of an easy process. So for Jaws, the shooting stars had to be hand-drawn on animation cels, frame-by-frame, and then laid over the print; Spielberg uses shooting stars to create a sense of other-worldly magic. As I understand it, what happened was during that scene, there were actual shooting stars in the sky, so they started filming immediately, but because the cameras weren't correctly exposed, the camera didn't pick them up. So Spielberg had them animated in during post-production, shooting the nighttime scenes during the day, underexposing the camera film and using other cinematic trickery to make it look like nighttime. Quint had Brody water down the reel to cool down the line, since large creatures like sharks pull the line so fast that the friction creates heat very quickly, which can melt and snap the line. And Quint broke the radio because of his major flaw, namely his pride to get the shark by himself, borne of the trauma he suffered during the USS Indianapolis tragedy, which, as as already been noted by others, was a true story. Robert Shaw gives a brilliant performance, one of my favorite monologues, and he actually co-wrote it (he rewrote the original draft) because the USS Indianapolis story isn't in the original novel. A couple other fun facts: Lee Fierro (Mrs. Kintner), after the success of Jaws, routinely got Jaws fans asking her to slap them when they met her, which she thought was silly, but she did, and then she decided to stop in 2012, telling everyone "I have slapped my last slap"; she made her primary living as a drama teacher, and passed in 2020. Also, the scene with Chief Brody and his youngest son copying his father's gestures was entirely impromptu and improvised. During down-time on the shoot, Roy Scheider noticed the boy copying everything he did, so he kept doing it. Then Spielberg noticed it and told cinematographer Bill Butler to start shooting, and they left it in, using it to create a moment of rekindled happiness in Brody after feeling defeated. It's kind of a microcosm of the entire mythos surrounding Jaws, as in Spielberg having to grab any shot he could get on any day since something was always going wrong. And I'm not sure what you mean by "sequels", since there was only the one. There's only one Jaws movie ever made, so you don't need to worry about that. Joking aside, as forgiving an audience as I usually am, I can't recommend them, except on your own time, if you're curious. Actually, Jaws 2 isn't that bad, but it kind of suffers from The Godfather III problem; a decent movie standing next to masterpieces, but 3 and 4 are just ... no. Jaws also kind of kickstarted the modern movie sequel culture: the first one worked, let's make more, and not worry about whether they're good or not. The only legacy Jaws 2 has is it's the origin of the "Just when you thought it was safe..." trope/phrase, because the tagline on its poster was "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...". And actually, you might recall that in Back to the Future Part II, one of the first things that Marty McFly sees in the 2015 future is a holographic shark lunging at him from a cinema marquee promoting Jaws 19, making fun of the Jaws franchise continuing to make unnecessary sequels (Spielberg was executive producer on the BttF films [Robert Zemeckis directed], so even though he had nothing to do with the Jaws sequels, it was kind of him poking a little fun). And speaking of Robert Zemeckis, since you've already done Back to the Future and Forrest Gump, I cannot wait for you to get to Contact, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Cast Away, What Lies Beneath and the vastly underrated Death Becomes Her. As much as I love BttF and Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Contact are my two personal favorite Robert Zemeckis films. "That's a moray"? I laughed and groaned at the same time. But that low-hanging fruit was sitting right there, so you had to. Great work, Kali. Cheers!

Christian F

It's so crazy you haven't seen this movie before lol. They made us watch this in high school. In my Arts appreciation class and my film studies class. I was made to watch this movie literally twice in high school.

Eric May

Yea! I was born the year this came out. As a kid my Dad read the novel it’s based on. Written by Peter Benchley, who actually played a character the credits just called “interviewer.” Mom liked this one every few years.

Justyn

That made me jumpscare more than any shots of the shark 100%

David Trumble

For realz, I vividly remember starting to watch this with my parents at 15 then immediately needing to turn it off after that first shark attack scene. Such was the horror of that actress's performance, I didn't watch "Jaws" all the way through until I went to film school years later. Absolute nightmare fuel of an opener.

Chuckles1004

After the USS Indianapolis story, it was a shooting star you saw. Spielberg put a shooting star in most of his movies. Like a good luck Easter egg. Also, Buster Browns were popular shoes kids wore back in the day before sneakers existed or were popular. Lol

Joseph Welshinger

1:38:00 Good eye catching the meteoroid in the background (aka "falling star"/"shooting star") or possibly UFO. Here's the Google answer to your question: The meteoroid in the 1975 film Jaws refers to a prominent shooting star that flashes across the night sky behind Chief Brody and Matt Hooper as they wait for the shark. Originally rumored to be a serendipitous real-life capture, director Steven Spielberg later confirmed the streak was an animated visual effect added in post-production. The famous background streak appears during the iconic night scene where Brody, Hooper, and Quint are out on the Orca comparing their scars. The shooting star has since become a popular piece of trivia for a few distinct reasons: Spielberg's Trademark: The director is famous for adding shooting stars or meteorites into several of his classic films (like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). The "Accident" Myth: For years, documentaries like the 1995 release of The Making of Jaws claimed the camera accidentally caught a real meteor. This led to passionate, ongoing debates among movie fans regarding the shot's authenticity. VFX Confirmation: Years later, visual effects artist Albert Whitlock—who worked on the effect—and Spielberg debunked the coincidence myth, setting the record straight that it was a carefully planned post-production addition.

Kal

Thank for mustering the courage of watching this, what a great reaction it gave us!

Dave M.

THAT jumpscare is still effective over 50 years later!! I love it. And he wasn't hyperventilating, he was doing breathing exercises so he could hold his breath longer.

Dave M.

Repeat? Meanie. 😉 (me, too, probably! 😈)

Dave M.

He's also in Mr. Holland's Opus (not a Spielberg film). That's a movie I really love. 💕 Beautiful, underrated film!

Dave M.

R.I.P. as in rest in peace. Or rip, like, tearing bodies apart? I have a dark mind.

kaliwali

LOL that quote. Can't blame him 🤣

kaliwali

my stomach wasn't the same after that one LOL

Dave M.

Buster Brown was an oldddd cartoon (comic) character and then a shoe brand. Hung up by their buster browns... hung up by their shoes/ankles. The term Buster Browns is a piece of early-20th-century slang referring to classic, children's high-top leather shoes, named after the popular comic strip character Buster Brown. The idiom "hung up by their Buster Browns" is an old-fashioned, folksy way of saying someone should be suspended or punished by their ankles/shoes.

kaliwali

is that another 'dark' ocean movie? 😅

kaliwali

Oh wow, I had no idea that Spielberg's signature move were the shooting stars! I love that! Thank you for all the fun facts and info, as always!!

kaliwali

Ahhhh okay! I know nothing about scuba diving so that makes sense

kaliwali

Ahh I love that! Very cool fun fact!

kaliwali

I don't think I had an Arts appreciation OR film studies class! Were those electives? 😱

kaliwali

Oh wow I'll have to watch more with Richard Dreyfuss! And that's awesome you've never seen this before!! I hope you enjoyed it!

kaliwali

yesss! I loved this one for all of the same reasons! glad you enjoyed it!

kaliwali

ugh... I don't think I can LOL

kaliwali

that's a crazy dream to walk away with after watching this! hahaha but that's awesome!

kaliwali

so it was a true hatred LOL

Dave M.

Peter Benchley (author of the novel JAWS) cameo as the news broadcaster on the beach.

Hans Engelen

Dark no, ocean movie ... yes. Don't wanna spoil it though but this one you would not have to jump out of your seat for.

Dave M.

"Stop playing with yourself, Hooper." I'm surprised Kali didn't laugh her butt off at this line. Is she just too innocent to understand the line? My mind always goes straight for the gutter.

Stephen Magee

Another great reaction. The shark that was on top of the empty cage fighting with it was actually a real shark. Footage shot by Ron and Valerie Taylor, famous shark experts.

Josh Karpoff

If you love Robert Shaw in both this and The Sting, then you will also love his performance in the classic 1974 NYC subway heist film "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" which also stars the always brilliant Walter Matthau, partnered with a young Jerry Stiller. Absolutely amazing film, a great mix of suspense, thriller, 70s vibes, comedy, great acting and an amazing score by the great film composer David Shire.

Joe Mallard

That was a peak reaction, hopefully we get some more suspense movies around October. When you asked if Quint was drunk, as a matter of fact, there's not many scenes where Robert Shaw was actually sober.

Joe Mallard

Jaws 2 came out before Friday the 13th, so that film might've helped start the teen horror/slasher genre along with Halloween.

Milton Reduxed

Great reaction. Please schedule more horror-lite and monster movies. Tremors (1990) is a staple of the genre, and fits into the summer vibe nicely
