*I like the original Jaws, I'm new to grindhouse*. This was a fun watch. The narrative was changed enough to be interesting and the audio editing was seamless to my ears.
For the video quality, it felt a bit odd. I think it was pointed out already but my feelings are similar. The image degradation felt a bit too tacked on. Scratches on top of good quality footage was uncanny at first, but I got used to it... Maybe my reasoning is flawed but I feel like I have to take points down here.
Visual editing was good but I didn't understand the skipping and repeating that occured at times. Again, Im new to grindhouse but it felt odd to me.
Narrative was good and the changes made kept me engaged.
Enjoyment = achieved but not better than the original.
Overall, I appreciate the work that's been put into finding and matching all the new footage. It serve the new narrative well imo. And I think this what makes this edit so interesting.
Recommended for fans of grindhouse and big fish!

Ideal viewing for a lazy Sunday afternoon!

'Jaws' was too scary for me but this Grindhouse masterpiece smooths off the cerrated edges of those teeth somewhat. Its the fan-edit U want to show someone who's been afraid of the water their whole life. Tell them they just need to put in some waterproof sports earbuds and even if the sharks are circling they will be bobbing away quite happily. With the right kind of groovy soundtrack playing of course. They will believe it seeing this.

Will be cool to see this remastered and upscaled and all that!!

Tremendously loopy fun all the way through. One of the great movies of all time, viewed through a funhouse (or, well, grindhouse, I guess) mirror. I won't spoil anything but the last five minutes are one of the greatest achievements in fan-editing I've ever seen -- a well-executed, hilarious and oddly poetic climax to a perfect ride.

This might be the best fanedit I've seen to date. The enjoyment factor just blow me through the roof. Loved the hiccups, new kills, what had been done to the video, the new intro, new ending, everything. I especially loved the attacks at day 7 (Fourth of July) the Go For The Throat (Iggy Pop song) was awesome and I laughed my ass off. So funny.

TMBTM's edits are really quite excellent, aren't they.

I rewatched Jaws the night before watching the Sharksploitation Edit, and was reminded why the original film is so brilliant. But then, along comes this crazy edit and pretty much turns the tone and stylings of Spielberg's masterpiece on its head to great effect.

Congrats TMBTM, this edit was great fun - MOAR SHARK ATTACKS! MOAR BLOOD! And the ending? brilliant work.

10/10
