I just watched it again today. That scene gives me goosebumps, because it’s a true story.
I watched Jaws today too. The first shark showed up a half hour after we were in the water, tiger, 13 footer. You know how you can tell the length when you’re in the water? The distance between the dorsal fin and the tail.You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.
I'll never put on a life jacket again Chief
I guess there were a lot of concerns while filming that movie. The shark never worked right and obviously Spielberg was very inexperienced.I watched Jaws today too.

Chilling. Those poor bastards.
I always thought that scene didn't fit the movie. The rest of the movie was so over the top with BS that scene was out of place.I guess there were a lot of concerns while filming that movie. The shark never worked right and obviously Spielberg was very inexperienced.
I read somewhere that Spielberg said that it was after filming that scene about the Indianapolis that he knew he had a movie!
Great scene in a great film
I think it explains why Quint has spent his life “sharkin”I always thought that scene didn't fit the movie. The rest of the movie was so over the top with BS that scene was out of place.
The whole point was to explain his back story. I think it ended up a lot more important than Spielberg expected.I think it explains why Quint has spent his life “sharkin”
You've got city hands Mr Hooper
Cage goes in the water? You go in the water? Shark’s in the water…..Quint was great.'I'm not talkin' 'bout pleasure boatin' or day sailin'. I'm talkin' 'bout workin' for a...' - Jaws
