Some jaws fan site. Best scene in that movie by far

"Hooper, tie on another barrel"


" He can't go down with three barrels, not with three barrels he can't."

johnwade, I read somewhere that he improvised pretty much that whole thing :eek:

That was awesome!

It wasn't that he improvised the whole thing. What I beleive happened was Shaw read the script and felt he could write that one scene better. So he asked the director (and Peter Benchley) to give him a shot at re-writing it. It took him only about 2 hours to write it and then "act out the scene". It was so good that it only took 1 try for them to get it on film perfectly. Pretty awesome actor.

Hooper: "Martin, go out to the end of the pulpit damnit. I need something in the picture for scale"

Brodie: "Scale my ass!"
