The original Bruce from Jaws has been found!

I hear ya' KW! A lot of people say that!

Bizzaro, there is not going to be a Jaws remake with Tracey Morgan; that's a rumor and nothing more my friend.

The new Jaws seems to be my fault. Every movie, show or anything remotely cool from my childhood comes back as a comedy, and taunts me. The Dukes, Starsky and Hutch, Land of the lost, now Jaws. Stlii left to be made fun of Hollywood get your damned notepad : Blue Thunder, The Warriors, Buck Rogers, Taxi Driver, A Clockwork Orange, Planet of the Apes (though the remake was laugable), Tour of Duty, and Robotech.

You can also see a replica Bruce head that was built for JAWSFEST'05 (Joe Alves was a technical consultant) by the talented Greg Nicotero who is also a die-hard finhead. Just look for my wife coming out of his mouth in this trailer for our third film...

LOL! That's a rubber one KW. They used both plastic and rubber depending on the scene. Quint's death, which is what this tooth was for, were rubber.



Some other cool pics...

Also, there's yet another 2-hour Jaws documentary coming on BIO Channel in a couple weeks...here's an ad I uploaded to You Tube...I'm sure they will talk about what happened to Bruce during the show...

WOW!!! Way Cool Pics Lou! Man look at the size of him.....

I would have definitely snatched Mr Jaws had I spotted it myself...worth a ton now.

Don't you mean weighs a ton, the article said the head alone was 400 lbs in weight. That Shark is going now here unless they winch it out.

I'm surprised they destroyed Bruce, well 3 Bruces, and that the 4th one gets no respect either. Then again, it's Hollywood, they have zero respect for anything. Even the famous Hollywood letters were almost taken down

Yes Thomas, we've been disgusted with the fact that Bruce and the Orca boat were just left to rot. A shame that such a famous prop from the most influential film in history was not preserved. The Orca was at least part of the JAWS ride in California until it rotted and a replica was built to replace it. Bruce, however, was just left to rot in the backlot. I suspect the problem is that the Jaws movies ALWAYS went way, way, way over budget and over-schedule so when the films wrap, the crew just took off. In fact, one of the sharks from Jaws 2 was just left behind in Florida once filming commenced...we believe the head is in a film museum in Italy today.
As far as Bruce IV, that's the only shark I've ever seen in person...here's what he looked like back in 2001...

Anyone read the last paragraph from the article?



Tracy Morgan as Quint? Hey, I love Tracy, but c'mon! How is this not a sign of the Apocalypse?

I seriously don't think it's a recast...most likely it'll be a new story. Plus Morgan is a solid actor. The original is too good just to remake it.

Found this pic online, but I'm not sure this is the original.

I remember that one at Universal Studios! We have a pic of him in the old family vacation album. We went to Universal Studios quite a few times when I was a kid.
