  • JAWS 30 years!

    Jaws: Birth of the Blockbuster - I just had to post this as it's now 30 years since the movie made a splash at the box office.

    What's your JAWS knowledge like - there's a link for a test below! Being a Shark I got 10/10 of course!

    (Actually just 4 really!)

    7 out of 10. Missed the composer, the speed of the real thing, and how many fake sharks they used. I thought it was three, but it didnt tell me the correct answer. I KNOW it wasnt a guy in a suit! I distinctly remember them having problems and using a variety of different models, but if it wants to say one, well then, I wont argue.

    That is still one of my favorite movies of all time. A true classic. I loved Robert Shaw! He was a great actor in many movies.

      6 our of 10 - not bad considering I probably haven't seen it in 20 years.

        7/10 Congrats - you are more qualified to be a shark than me!

        I think I got the composer one right - John Williams if I remember correctly. I didn't get the fake sharks one either or the speed so when someone gets those right let us know the answer if you could. I'm too lazy to take the test again to find the right answer - well - don't want to over-exert myself do I - as it's my anniversary!

          Are you having food brought in today for the special occasion instead of having to go out hunting?

            LMAO! Yes we are getting the caterers in today. The exact menu is to be a surprise but I heard a rumour it might be some nice tasty steaks from California!

                The real Browns are in Baltimore, see?

                    I got 9 off the bat, just got the Bruce one wrong.

                    Speaking of the mechanical sharks, the reason for the camera angles used for the shark attacks (from the sharks perspective) was alledgedly because the damned things kept sinking! If it hadn't been for that slight miscalculation who knows if the film would have worked so well?

                    Quality film though, I'll have to see if there's a special edition DVD release, as it's just as good today as it was when I first saw it (except for some of the clothes, did people really wear that s**t? )
