Alex Kintner (portrayed by Jeffrey Voorhees) is a minor character from the 1975 Steven Spielberg film Jaws. He was the second victim of the murderous great white shark Bruce. While the residents of Amity are enjoying Independence Day festivities on the beach, Alex goes into the water with an inflatable.
It's as you find it - Quint has been eaten alive by the shark, Hooper has fallen into the sea after the shark's battered his cage, and Brody is left alone to face the shark.
The shark leaps onto the boat, subsequently devouring Quint. Trapped on the sinking vessel, Brody shoves a scuba tank into the shark's mouth and, climbing onto the crow's nest, shoots the tank with a rifle. The resulting explosion kills the shark.
In the 30th anniversary DVD edition of the film, all the movie remains the same except for Brody's final encounter with the shark. His famous line is cut, thus, only letting him says, "Smile, you son of a..." before he fires the gun.
Quint's death scene is very disturbing as he slides in the sharks mouth and the animal chomps down on him. He screams and gargles on his own blood with Chief Brody watching in horror. The films opening scene with a female character being attacked by a shark while swimming at night is very intense and disturbing.
(WFLA) – The first “victim” to fall to the shark in Steven Spielberg's iconic “Jaws” film was once a Weeki Wachee mermaid. Susan Backlinie portrays Chrissie Watkins, the shark's first victim in the 1975 film. Backlinie was a Weeki Wachee mermaid in the 1960s.
However, Hooper was eaten, and the cage became a tomb for the young scientist. Ironically, this was exactly what Quint had warned everyone about before they set sail in the movie. While Hooper lived in the movie, this wasn't a change made early in the writing process.
Three mechanical sharks were made for it, but they were unreliable and the foam they were made of soaked up water and made them bloat. For that reason, the director chose not to show the shark much, which built suspense and improved the film, he says.
After her son Sean is killed by the shark, Martin Brody's widow, Ellen (Lorraine Gary), moves to the Bahamas to live with her other son, Michael, now played by Lance Guest.
Some time late in the afternoon or evening of the first day out in search of his quarry, a large Great White Shark attacked Gardner's boat. Bite marks in the hull were found by Matt and Martin during a subsequent investigation. Hooper found a shark tooth within the hull and discovered Gardner in the boat, dead.
“It got people thinking very negatively about sharks, which just made it so much easier to overfish them.” Over the years, researchers have documented some of the negative portrayals of sharks in films like “Jaws.” A 2021 study concluded that 96 percent of shark films portrayed the animals as threatening.
But there's one deleted scene that would have changed all that, one that die-hard Jaws fans still obsess over: the bloody death of the man in the estuary who saved Brody's son. It's one of horror's most infamous deleted scenes, and it is easy to understand why Spielberg ultimately removed it from the final cut.
Pippit is a dog who appears in Jaws. Shortly before Alex Kintner was killed by the shark, Pippit ventured into the water and disappeared: it's supposed that Bruce killed the dog offscreen.
Marc Gilpin, the actor who played Sean Brody (youngest son of Roy Scheider's Chief Martin Brody) in Jaws 2, has passed away at the age of 56 following a battle with glioblastoma.
After 14 operations Krycsiwiki's jaw was restored using steel components that created two rows of terrifying razor-sharp teeth, although Jaws was left mute.
How did an on-set in-joke become one of the most iconic lines in cinema history? “You're gonna need a bigger boat,” says awestruck Chief Brody (Roy Scheider), the words half-mumbled through the cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Roy Scheider, who played Police Chief Brody in the first two had no interest in a third Jaws, saying “Mephistopheles … couldn't talk me into doing [it].” Instead, Jaws 3 stars Dennis Quaid as Brody's grown-up son.
The Bowline You may remember a scene in the movie Jaws where Sheriff Brody is being taught to tie a knot by Quint. “The little brown eel swims out of the hole…” and just as he does it, Quint's fishing reel loudly whines as the shark spools off line. The knot that Brody was learning was a Bowline.
