145 Jaws Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Jeffrey Voorhees

Voorhees, born on August 22, 1962 in Massachusetts was cast to play Alex Kintner. Alex was seen near the beginning of the film as he swam in the ocean and had fun. Then, he struggled in the water and that is when the shark appeared. Alex died as a result of the attack. The mat that he used at the beach was all chewed up after the shark killed him. As of June//2023, Voorhees only acting credit was as Alex Kintner in "Jaws".

Answer: Chief Brody

Brody says this after Harry declares, "We know all about you Chief. You don't go in the water at all, do you?" It is also mentioned by Brody's wife, Ellen, that he sits in his car while riding the ferry. Brody says at one point in the film that "drowning" is his fear.

"That's some bad hat, Harry" is a soundbite for Bad Hat Harry Productions, which can be heard after some television shows such as "House, M.D.".

Answer: Dr. Young

Michael had just been pulled from the water. He lay almost lifeless on the beach. Ellen thought her son was dead. Brody told Ellen their son was in shock. Michael had only a few moments ago had an encounter with the shark. Brody yelled at the people around him to get blankets to wrap his son up in. Michael was taken to the hospital. Ellen was talking to her son when Dr. Young was paged on the hospital's intercom. Michael was being rolled into his room on a hospital bed. Ellen asked him if there was anything he wanted. Michael told his mom to bring him his cars and coffee flavored ice cream.

The voice on the intercom sounded like Steven Spielberg to me, but I can't be sure of it. The hospital scene in the film was a turning point. Martin had Mayor Vaughn in a hospital room and demanded he sign the voucher. The voucher was to hire Quint to kill the shark. Steven Spielberg's voice did have a cameo in the film. He was the voice of the Coast Guard on the radio.

Answer: Ben Gardner

His eyeball is hanging by a thread.

Answer: Christine Watkins

Her full name was mentioned when Hooper and Brody walk into the coroner's office.

Answer: Mike

The character of Mike Brody was played by actor Chris Rebello in the movie 'Jaws'. He was Chief Brody's eldest son and played a significant role in the film as he was involved in the shark attack that took place at the beginning of the movie. Later in the film, Mike also assisted his father in the hunt for the great white shark, helping to bring an end to the terrorizing attacks on the beach. Interestingly, Rebello was not a professional actor prior to being cast in 'Jaws', but was instead discovered by director Steven Spielberg while he was working at a local restaurant. The role of Mike helped to launch Rebello's brief career in acting, which also included a small part in 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'.

Answer: Frank Silva

Frank Silva is the name of the harbour master in the movie Jaws. Interestingly, Silva was not a professional actor, but rather a real-life resident of Martha's Vineyard, where the movie was filmed. Director Steven Spielberg spotted Silva working as a handyman and offered him the role on the spot. Silva's performance was so convincing that many viewers believed he was a professional actor. His character played a crucial role in the movie, warning the town's mayor about the danger posed by the shark and urging him to close the beaches.

Brody looks at it and asks, 'He didn't eat a car, did he?'

Answer: Susan Backlinie

Backlinie, a native of Ventura, California, had the small part of Chrissie Watkins. Chrissie was in the opening scene when she swam in the ocean at night and then ominous music played. Chrissie noticed a rough movement and felt that there was something wrong. This was when the shark grabbed a hold of her and thrashed her about through the water. Chrissie died due to this shark attack. Backlinie guest starred on the TV series "The Fall Guy", "Quark" and "The Quest".

Answer: Sam Quint

Quint says this at the town meeting when offering his services to kill the shark. He is a rugged individualist who floats his own boat. Later in the film he says, "Maybe I should go alone." After some arguing with Brody and Hooper he decides to bring them along. Quint declares he is captain while Brody and Hooper are mate, master, and pilot.

In the film there is a man that follows Quint around. One would assume that this man is his only mate or master. This person, however, never speaks and does not go on the charter to kill the Great White.

Answer: Campbell's Soup

Martin and Hooper went to Quint's house to inform him he had gotten the contract to kill the shark. Quint was going over a list of demands that he wanted and Brody was approving them all. Quint walked over to where a pot was boiling and pulled out a set of jaws. There behind Quint was a modest collection of canned goods. There were the cans of Campbell's soup and several cans of vegetables. Quint then gave Brody a shot of alcohol that he had prepared himself. Brody took a small sip and then spit it out. Hooper came over and took the remains of the glass and drank it.

It was pretty obvious from the few scattered items in Quint's house that he lived a simple life. You got the feeling from this scene that he was not about frills at all. He was a bachelor and lived like one. The canned items were the only sign of food in the house. He did have his fishing equipment and several sets of jaws around the house. Quint was played by the late great Robert Shaw.

Answer: His right leg

This scene is all the more gruesome in the out take sections.

Answer: Whaler's Tavern

Quint walks into the Whaler's Tavern, and watches the goings on inside.

Answer: Hand Grenade

In the movie 'Jaws 3', a hand grenade is used to blow up the shark. This decision to use a hand grenade was not without controversy among the movie's production team. Originally, the idea had been to have the shark electrocuted, but the special effects team was worried about how that would look on screen. The next idea was to have the shark shot with a harpoon, but that was deemed too gruesome. It was finally decided that the grenade would be the most dramatic option, and that it would allow the shark to be blown up in a satisfyingly explosive manner. While some audience members may have found the use of a hand grenade to be an unrealistic solution to the problem of a giant shark threatening people, it certainly made for a memorable moment in the film.

Answer: Thresher

Hooper caught a Thresher shark while fishing when he was young. Thresher sharks are known for their long, whip-like tails that they use to stun their prey. They are also unique in that they have a special joint in their upper tail fin that allows them to swing it around like a weapon. Thresher sharks are found in temperate and tropical waters around the world and can grow up to 20 feet in length. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are not considered a significant threat to humans.

Answer: The Pond

Brody's son is almost eaten there on a small sailboat.

Answer: Hooper

A funny line to me!

Answer: Chrissie

She skinny dipped in the first scene, never to return.
