Fantastic edit. Loved the twist at the end. 10/10

Watched it! Loved it!

I thought I would hate this Edit when I first heard of it, as Jaws is one of my favourite films, but I absolutely loved it. A great way to merge the deleted scenes without drawing too much attention to their lower quality. I always liked the deleted scenes and it’s good to finally see them in the film.
I also loved the music choices and how they were used, all except one. As much as I love Unforgiven III, I didn’t think it fit. Maybe after seeing it a couple more times I’ll change my mind on that.

Overall this was great. An excellent take on a classic film. Thanks The Man Behind the Mask.

Awesome! I thought Jaws was an ok movie when i first saw it…but was never a huge fan of it, can’t say why really it just never struck a chord with me like some films do.

But I downloaded this after seeing “The War of The Stars” and so wanted to see the Sharksploitation to complete the grindhouse doublebill.

I love this incarnation of the film – and the look of it, the added music and altered ending! awesome! I watch this version over and over, its just peachy!

overall 10/10

I absolutely loved this! The only thing I thought odd at the time was the insertion of some Jaws 2 clips – why would Brody have another marine biologist check out the dead orca when Hooper is already on the island? – but it became clear at the end and was just perfect. It looked appropriately grimy and had some great additions – the opening music was excellent and the ‘missing reel’ really worked. Loved the deleted scenes that were incorporated, such as finding the first victim on the beach. It won’t replace my DVD of ‘Jaws’, but of course it isn’t meant to. But this is probably the version I will show to family and friends for a laugh. First rate!

This was hilarious and often brilliant. It has a couple flaws, but it’s very entertaining (BIG SPOILERS follow).

Technical quality – 10/10 – can’t really comment on A/V issues as they were supposed to be there.

Editing – 10/10 – just incredible.

Presentation – 10/10 – the cover art was great and the menu was nice. Brody at the theater was a clever and idea and pulled off well.

Entertainment – 8/10 – so brilliant. The added scenes from Jaws 2, the tourists arriving, the redesigned beach attack, the flashbacks during the scar discussion, Jaws shaking the shark cage, that orca whale at the end that took things personally, the new music, and all the other stuff I haven’t mentioned… just brilliant! There are only two things I didn’t like: firstly, sometimes when songs played or even at other times the sound effects were muted. Regardless of whether this is something that is in “grindhouse” movies, it’s very annoying. Secondly, the music during the beach attack. Just didn’t work for me. Otherwise, incredible job. You had brilliant ideas and you transferred them to the screen even more brilliantly.

Overall – 9/10
