    The WASP knife is James Bond worthy. Imagine stabbing your prey, and instantly having a basketball sized volume of freezing compressed gas expand inside the body, displacing the internal organs in an explosive manner.

    @Dr. Evil Genius: Kind of what I was thinking. May prevent limbs from being severed, but basically will mean you become a conveniently wrapped package for later shark snackage.
    .
    I'm also kind of wondering how the little alloy pellets performed with respect to fast moving sharks. I'm not so much concerned with the slow moving ones.

    It took me a while to figure out what "Hand Jaws His Ass" means. It has a completely different meaning if you don't get the shark reference at first.

    I don't think the scale used to measure how much the film has made is accurate. If it made $470 million its opening weekend, you could do the conversion, but since inflation is a variable rate, and not a set amount, the $5 somebody paid to rent Jaws three days ago is still worth five dollars today. Its budget is a discrete value, and its gross-over-time is a continuous value.
    My point is, no fucking way has Jaws made almost 2 billion dollars. I can see 1B-1.2B, but not 1.9B.

    @DeusExMach will still be strong after the boys...: You may find it hard to believe, but Jaws made $100 million during the initial run, and the other $370 over the next two years all at the box office. At worst, that's $1.6 billion today. This is why most people say that Spielburg and Lucas invented the summer blockbuster.

    As a kid I remember the first time I heard Quint's shark speech. I was frozen watching him deliver it...

    Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... they rip you to pieces...

    Apparently they tried to use pieces of the original sharks in the first JAWS ride, but it was broken more often than it worked. As a result, they went to Oceaneering, a company known for their underwater robots, and they produced the sharks you see now in the Jaws rides around the world.
    Also, that got Oceaneering into the entertainment industry, and they now make all sorts of interesting stuff for parks.

    @Nick: The summer of the shark is what they named the summer of 1916 after 5 people were attacked by sharks along the Jersey Coast, including one incident where a shark swam up a river to a "swimming hole" and killed Lester Stilwell, before also attacking two men, one of whom died from exsanguination due to his wounds.


    These events WERE the basis for JAWS. And yes, I started to really get over my fear this weekend when I swam in the actual Atlantic Saturday Afternoon.

    @GitEmSteveDave_HasAList: It didn't help that every time I went to Misquamicut, there was this weird guy who sat on the beach playing the same two notes on a cello over and over again. I asked my mom if we could go to another beach, but she always said that parking anywhere else was too expensive.
