I saw Jaws five times at the Showcase Cinemas in Milan when it opened during the summer of 1975. An exciting ocean-going story, colorful charcters, and a mechanical shark combine to make monster movie magic. Many teens/young adults I talk to now have never watched the film. Horrors.
(Spoiler Alert!)
I swallowed my gum during the chumming sequence.
Yup, there's some violence and a little "salty" language.
Recommendations: skip the sequels and compare scars on a boat at night instead.
