About this product
Product Information
From the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, Steven Spielberg directed this thrill ride of terror. During the height of beach season, the Massachusetts resort town of Amity Island is terrorised one summer by surprise attacks from a great white shark. Three unlikely partners team up to hunt down the rogue and destroy it: the new chief of police from New York (Roy Scheider), a young university-educated oceanographer (Richard Dreyfuss), and a crusty old-time fisherman (Robert Shaw). The film shoot was notoriously difficult for the young Spielberg, who had directed only one feature film before JAWS. The mechanical shark seldom operated correctly, and Spielberg was frequently forced to create the idea of terror without actually showing the shark. However, after the film premiered it went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time surpassing THE GODFATHER and becoming the first film to gross more than a hundred million dollars. Composer John Williams created the score to JAWS, which has since become a well-known theme of impending doom. Ron and Valerie Taylor were responsible for filming live sharks in Australia; their sequences were later mixed with footage of the mechanical shark.Product Identifiers

ReviewsSight And Sound - Its combination of thrills, suspense and smart characterisation has rarely been matched, Entertainment Weekly - It pretty much rewrote the rules for the modern-day blockbuster, Premiere - A record-shattering success..., Total Film - ...This fishy thriller is still Steven Spielberg's best movie, New Yorker - It may be the most cheerfully perverse scare movie ever made. Even while you're convulsed with laughter you're still apprehensive, because the editing rhythms are very tricky, and the shock images loom up huge, right on top of you., USA Today - ...The phenomenon that invented 'the summer movie'...

It gives sharks a bad name
This is definitely one of those films that has been so over-hyped over the years that if you haven't seen it until now, you would be expecting much more than what is delivered. The best part of the film are the scenes with Roy Scheider. It is amazing that in all these years, that no reviewer has ever mentioned that he got the part, not only because he played a cop in that classic with Gene Hackman.- but also because (obviously an inside joke) that Roy has eyes like the shark. And the fact that he made up the line " you're gonna need a bigger boat," is truly the best line in the film. The rest of the film - from beginning to end, is either amateurish or no better than so so. it is aimed at the teenage mentality. The slap in the face from the mother, should have been given to those responsible for making it. Just because it was popular, does not mean that it was well done. it only proves that it was a triumph of hype over content.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
