UHD Review Jaws 45th Anniversary UHD Review (1 Viewer)

[Jeffrey D]

Watching the UHD now. Sure looks nice. I don’t know if this has been discussed- there’s a glaring mistake made by the prop master early on in the film. I will be surprised if those who watch this film on a regular basis doesn’t know what the mistake is.

Don’t make me strain my brain looking for it. What is it?

PS: There’s a huge error in Aliens that Cameron admits he didn’t see and it made it into the movie.

I don’t know how to apply a spoiler tag, so what I’ll say is the mistake is when Brody is typing the accident report on the first victim, Chrissie.

See that menu selection on the right with 3 vertical dots and 3 vertical lines? Click on that and you’ll find the spoiler tags.

There are a number of mistakes in that typing scene:

Spoiler

Dates and times of Chrissie's death and the discovery of her body don't seem right. She enters the water at sunset/dusk (which would be around 9-9:30pm), but time of death is listed as near midnight (11:50pm). Discovery of her body is listed as late at night (10:20pm) rather than morning. And the date of death (July 1) does not make sense with the death of the Kintner boy which occurs after Chrissie's, but is said on posters for the reward to have occurred on June 29.

I suppose time of death might be inexact, as no one witnessed the attack or knew she was actually dead until her body was discovered the following day. But the date of death compared to Kintner and time of the discovery of the body should be accurate.

"Coroner" is also misspelled as "corner" (not once, but twice).

Noticed that years ago. One of the only flubs in the film I think.

There are pages of goofs on the IMDb page for the film. But when a film is good and you're absorbed in the story and action, you tend to not notice most of them.

Here is a shorter version:

Obviously, they're mistakes made when they were doing the insert shots but you could argue that within the movie, Brody is simply a bad typer and shook by seeing half of a body of a girl. He should have let Polly do the typing (in addition to the printing).

So the scene came and went and I was totally involved in the film and only saw “SHARK ATTACK.” I’ll keep it that way.

It’s minor anyway Johnny.

That's what most people have done including myself.

Yeah, even after reading that on IMDB years ago, I never looked for it or noticed it. And I'm the person who is really bothered by the idiot extra that's smiling as he runs into the water after Alex Kinter is attacked.

F-this guy

I know what you mean. During the kids with the fake fin scene, there is a teenage kid wearing a white shirt and white pants laughing as everyone is screaming and running out of the water. I watch him every. single. time.

I have noticed idiot extras like this guy in most movies made prior to the CG visual effects revolution.

The one that always bothered me was some moron in the crowd waving a white handkerchief at the camera in the final shot in King Kong (1976).

Loving the new disc. Enhanced colors, contrast and detail. There are some sequences that have excessive grain, which I suppose is to be expected. The sequence where Brody gets onto the car ferry with Vaughn and the Amity councilors following appears to lose detail from too much grain when compared to the 1080p disc.

Amazon and Best Buy selling "Jaws" 4K disc for $9.99!

Amazon let me put it in my cart but then when I tried to buy it it kept saying this item is no longer available from the dealer you selected.

I was able to purchase a copy from my local best buy for store pickup later at $9.99. But if Amazon or Best Buy were just price matching each other, I'd suggest acting quickly.

Same thing happened to me. I ordered from Best Buy instead.

$11.99 for Prime Day for the next 8 hours or while supplies last.
