Gosh... has it been 40 years?!! We’re getting old, Joe. I saw it again a few months ago and it is still frightening to me. Definitely a great movie!
I watched it Friday night. I missed the first 10-15 minutes.
I was a teenager the first time I saw it. Theater was packed. Sitting on the second row. The first time that shark jumped up from the water when they were trying to kill it . . . I had a fairly full large cup of soft drink that was accidentally spilled on the people in the row behind me when I jumped in my seat and my arms went up and out went the Dr. Pepper I think. haha
They didn’t yell at me or anything . . . thank goodness . . . nowadays they might have not been so nice.
This was the first ‘R’ rated movie I snuck in to at age 16. Boy, I got what I deserved for being dishonest, LOL! Terrifying!
My Mom gave me the book to read when I was 15 or so. She also introduced me to Stephen King about that time.
I blame her, LOL!
