This fucking scene still freaks me out.

>>83262678
show a better poster you can't do that either

Piranha 3DD (unless you're some kind of homo)

>>83262678
There really isn't one, shame it got beat for nearly every Oscar by the godfather part 2

>>83262678
John Wick
John Wick 2
Drive

>>83262830
it wasnt even nominated for anything though iirc

fuckin nuts

>>83262754
The shark they built looks a bit silly now especially some of the scenes on the orca but that scene it looks terrifying

>>83262883
It won for best editing I believe.

>>83262883
It was nominated I think, but the only Oscar it won was for the soundtrack, still the best I've ever heard to this day

>>83262830
Godfather part 2 was released one year before.
It lost to One flew over the cuckoo's nest (though it only got 4 nominations anyway)

>>83262678
I heard the only reason they didn't show the shark more was because it wasn't finished till they already shot 2/3rds of the movie, why they used barrels and that end of a pier to show where the shark was, if the shark had been ready this movie would feel a lot more dated

>>83262678
The Terminator

>>83263029
The shark broke when they put it in the salt water

>>83263016
I thought it was released before but still after the previous Oscars I could be wrong but I know jaws didn't dominate the Oscars because another movie beat it narrowly for everything

>>83263029
Partially right. The shark was finished but was only tested on dry land in California before shipping it off to Martha's Vineyard. The sea water really did a number on the electronics.

>>83263090
Cool probably a good thing seeing more of the shark would have spoilt this classic and made it forgettable

What is some more Roy Schneider kino?

>>83263148
Definitely. Those yellow barrels pretty much saved the movie.

I do think jaws might be better than these but its a tough decision

>>83262678
jaws 2

>>83263233

The relentlessness of them and the strain it cause the three of them is what made this so spectacular
>just finished watching this an hour ago

>>83263331
Or jaws the revenge, making the shark roar like a lion, just pure fucking genius

John Carpenter's The Thing

Saw it on it's first run inn theater. Quite the line to get in even on the 4th week of release. The jump scare was pretty terrifying to 13 year old me at the time. And the paranoia it caused with people being afraid to swim in the ocean lasted all summer.

The GOAT scene

>>83264054
Pretty jealous, anon. Wish I had been old enough to experience Jaws and Star Wars when they were brand new and predictable summer blockbusters weren't yet a thing.

>>83264119
I can't imagine anyone else but Robert Shaw in that role. Easily one of the greatest hard drinking, tough guy actors of all time.

Yeah. i saw all the 70's and 80's kino in the theaters first runs. Star Wars Trilogy, Wraith of Kahn (well every Trek for that matter) Conan the Barbarian. King Kong (World Trade Center) all the Jurassic's. ECT.

Poultrygeist.

>>83262678
It always bothered me how unrealistically large the cover shark for Jaws was

It's not a fucking megalodon

>>83263168
The Seven-Ups

>>83264392
We knew surprisingly little about sharks back in the 70s. Back then I guess a 25 foot great white seemed feasible.

>>83264392
That is the same cover as the book. Although the movie isn't true to the book.

thank GOD jesus christ it would have ruined the movie

That said, this image from a failed attempt at filming the Alex Kintner attack is fucking nightmare fuel.

>>83264778
I was pretty obsessed with the movie and fell for th hype. Had a fake great white tooth necklace i wore, A great white poster on my bedroom wall, And i bought and read the "The Making of JAWS: book. This was also playing on the radio at the time.

And i bought the 45 and still have it.

maybe a little generous but pretty accurate. only retards who read the percentages get triggered by RT scores.

great white's regularly grow to 20 feet

>>83265655
No, that is there maximum though. Largest one recorded was maybe 21 or 22 feet. Most in the ocean seem to be between 14 and 18 feet. It's very rare to see one around 20feet nowadays. Was once more common before over fishing on the population.

Jaws probably didn't help with every yazoo wanting to go out sport fishing for a big great white even though they're not considered very challenging sport fish.

>>83265842
This. A 25 footer like the one in Jaws has never been caught/reliably measured.

>>83266159
Which is why they put a little person in a miniature shark cage to upscale the much smaller Australian sharks in the parts where they used actual shark footage from Ron and Valerie Taylor.

>>83266203
That midget almost died when the shark got tangled in the cables suspending the cage

>>83265842
Bullshit. They aren't super common but 20ft is a size of a big great white.

Ratatoing

>>83266867
That's what he said anon. He's right though. 14-16 feet is the average size when they're accurately reported.

Is it possible for a Megalodon to still exist? The ocean's an extremely large place
