Jaws: One of the kids in the movie finds a job too good to be true!

Without exaggeration, we can say that Jaws gave rise to scalophobia – the fear of sharks – quite a lot of ablutophobia, the fear of swimming. Universal’s marketing departments even planned this little challenge on the movie poster for the 25th anniversary: “You’re not going swimming again this summer…”

If you’re familiar with Spielberg’s unflinching classic, you’ll surely remember this scene from the movie where two kids play a dirty prank by creating a shark fin, causing a general panic among the swimmers.

Sticking their heads out of the water and jokingly proud, they were then surrounded by all the local fishermen, including the Coast Guard, guns and harpoons pointed at them… — He is the one who told me to do it! Rocks one of the two children.

Check out the sequence below.

The little boy who condemns his brother is Jonathan Searle. Now 56, he’s just changed — for real! – a role that Martin Brody played in the film after he was named Oak Bluffs police chief last May. with its 5,000 inhabitants; This is one of the towns on Martha’s Vineyard Island, located in Massachusetts, where the movie was filmed!

“I find it quite amusing!” Commented by an interested person New York Post who spread the information. Islander and son of a former police chief, Jonathan Searle, knows this place like the back of his hand. “I am pleased, humbled and honored to be elected to this position” He also commented in the local newspaper Vineyard Gazette, which features a photo of this police officer in a uniform unlike any other. Good news anyway.
