Jaws is a 1975 American film directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's 1974 novel of the same name. The prototypical summer blockbuster, its release is regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history. In the story, a giant man-eating great white shark attacks beachgoers on Amity Island, a fictional New England summer resort town, prompting the local police chief to hunt it with the help of a marine biologist and a professional shark hunter. The film stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, Richard Dreyfuss as oceanographer Matt Hooper, Robert Shaw as shark hunter Quint, Murray Hamilton as Larry Vaughn, the mayor of Amity Island, and Lorraine Gary as Brody's wife, Ellen. The screenplay is credited to both Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography.
Shot mostly on location on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, the film had a troubled production, going over budget and past schedule. As the art department's mechanical sharks suffered many malfunctions, Spielberg decided to mostly suggest the animal's presence, employing an ominous, minimalistic theme created by composer John Williams to indicate the shark's impending appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of classic thriller director Alfred Hitchcock. Universal Pictures gave the film what was then an exceptionally wide release for a major studio picture, over 450 screens, accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign with a heavy emphasis on television spots and tie-in merchandise.

On Jan. 2, 2012, Universal Orlando closed its iconic Jaws ride and Amity area permanently to make way for a new attraction. Inspired by the Steven Spielberg film Jaws, this video takes a cinematic approach to paying tribute to the attraction which first debuted at Universal Studios Florida in 1990. Featuring John Williams' famous score, multiple camera angles, and a few added sound effects, this video not only captures the action of the attraction but does so as if it were a movie - a Jaws sequel of sorts. Two female boat captains / skippers were filmed on three separate trips around the Jaws lagoon, all edit...

Mike Huckabee‘s penchant for dad jokes and strange analogies led to him being corrected on one of his quips last night by Jaws star Richard Dreyfuss. Huckabee appeared with Megyn Kelly last night and ended his appearance with this analogy: “[Trump’s] like Captain Quint in the original movie Jaws. He’s vulgar, he’s salty, he might even get drunk… he’s the guy who’s gonna save your butt and save your family. And so at the end of the day, when he kills the shark, you’re happy about it. Now, Hillary is the shark. She’s gonna eat your boat, she’s gonna have open borders, immigration out the kazoo [ed. note: is that canon with the Jaws franchise?], and so the choice is do you vote for Captain Quint, who’s gonna save your family, or do you vote for the shark?”

Chorus
You say, it's time, to finally peel away
I say, it's not, this glass is here to stay
You say, that's fine, but your dead ends are showing
I say, I'm caught, and just where are we going?
Lever muscles twitching in excitement
2-D smiles frozen in delightment
Chorus
Everyone is happy at the first glance
Empty eyes staring at the hook dance
Everybody shuffles in a weird trance
Everybody's dying for a second chance
Chorus
You say, it's time, you say the Jaws are here
I say, they're not, and let me make this clear
You say, that's fine, you can't escape this building
That day, I died, I think The Office killed me
