During my annual rewatch of Jaws it occurred to me that Ben Gardner is meant to be a well known fisherman in Amity, yet he’s got a tiny little boat.
Surely a professional fisherman would need something more capable?!
I’ve always looked at Gardner as a rival to quint, so much so that there’s even fan theory that Quint killed Gardner to stop him from getting the shark first. However this theory falls down as soon as you look at the boat he was paddling round in. Quint wouldn’t give him a second thought.
However, I do find the wreck of the boat quite suspicious. First, if Bruce really attacked a boat of this size there would be more damage (based on how he attached the orca). And second, the tooth is stuck in the hull the wrong way round! I only noticed this for the first time just now. If a shark lost a tooth, the sharp point wouldn’t be sticking up like Hooper finds it - the point would be buried in the wood.
Just kicking back at our awful local theater for some Jaws action. Theater was 80% full for an afternoon showing of a 51 year old movie
Easy way to tear an ACL!
Ive been working on this for a little bit and I’m pretty much done! I just need to replace some of the broken pieces of the Orca and I’ll be satisfied.
Hi, I asked a few Ws on here prior to going. Here’s a few pics from our travels…loved every minute, hired bikes and what a beautiful place…
I put my displays in boxes because of dust and dirt. It protects them a bit as well from the light. Anyway, I thought this one turned out well. I'm going to be working on making it look more like an ocean or a sea bed underneath ... maybe blue plates or something like that.
If the town had hired Quint after the town hall meeting, and he'd gone out alone as originally intended, would he have died? Or would he have been smarter about the shark, and not so reckless to prove he knows his business better than the college boy with city hands?
