And the wonderful thing about this scene was that it was by far the scariest thing in the movie. When I saw it as a kid, the whole movie theater was totally silent when Robert Shaw finished. Everyone was completely chilled to the bone. That creepy, gutteral sort of fear. Outstanding scene.

This caused actual Indianapolis survivors to leave the theaters..brought back too many memories

Indianapolis scene. Best. Ever.

Absolutely brilliant!

What made the speech great is that it establishes that what they are dealing with is nothing new. It gives the feeling that there was always something menacing about the sea and Jaws himself represents the many terrors they will encounter.

LEGENDARY. RIP ROBERT 'QUINT' SHAW.

one of the greatest monologues in film

Great scene and writing. Also the right kind of music...eerie and understated

wow that's so interesting about the script. The dialogue sparkles in this movie too.

So glad you uploaded this video in particular. Thanks for sharing it with us.

SHARK! UNPREDICTABLE KILLER OF THE SEA (1961) by Thomas Helm. Almost every line from Quint's Indianapolis speech is from this book.

Just imagine if in the climax, Jaws spits out the tank, hauls out a .44 magnum, and delivers Dirty Harry's dialogue.

Robert shaw was a top class actor: he just.needed less than 5 minutes to.show.his chops

Shaw was a good writer himself. The Man in the Glass Booth is worth a read. Even Shaw's first novel, The Hiding Place, is good. I've yet to read The Sun Doctor though.

The original version was rewritten three times. The final version rewrote by Robert Shaw is the one that was used, but they had to shoot it twice. Shaw was drunk on the first take and the take was unusable so they shot it again after Shaw sobered up and they used the second take.

Shaw was the Man. God I think he craped boulders and pissed Lasers. What a guy.

John Milius needs more work, god dammit.

Does anyone know where to read John Milius' version of the Indianapolis speech?

Weird I heard in another interview Robert Shaw re-wrote that speech.

The problem with Jaws is that Milius wrote the Indianapolis scene ..... and none of the rest of it.

Well Spielberg incorporated a lot of the material that Milius gave him into the Jaws script. Milius also was a script doctor for 1941 (which he produced and came up with the story for), Temple of Doom, and Saving Private Ryan.

The script in Jaws is fantastic throughout, helped by the actors having much input.

What is this from?

He didn't write it. He started some of it but Shaw took it away and using a story from a book called shark! Killer of the sea by Thomas helm adapted it. The Herbie Robinson story is taken almost word for word from that book. I spoke with Carl Gottlieb about this and he debunked that Millius wrote it.

What? It happened just as the video said it did. Shaw edited down what came from Milius. Both Spielberg and even Shaw himself have said so. But who can say? Maybe you know better than those two.
