Synopsis:
This fanedit adds a kind of grindhouse feel to JAWS and makes the movie fun to watch for those who are not afraid to see this masterpiece being turned into something else.
Intentions:
To give JAWS a kind of grindhouse feel and make the movie fun to watch for those who are not afraid to see this masterpiece being turned into something else (but it’s still JAWS, I did not turn the plot upside down). But most of all I did it for my own enjoyment. I hope it’ll work for you.
Change List:
- New opening credits. - I will not list all the cuts because there are to many of them, some big and some very short. - Grainy picture, scratches and noises. Warm and cold tint added. - some almost entire scenes from JAWS 2 added (as well as a lots of shots from various movies and documentaries) - Most of the deleted scenes and alternate takes are back in the movie, not all of them though; And some are a bit poor quality. - New music here and there (70?s style JAWS theme, pop, rock etc..) - Few, but noticeable, special effects to add more blood into some shots. - NEW ENDING (a bit cheesy, but hey, it’s a grindhouse edit after all!) - New ending credits.
