I have a Jaws film related mission for you guys UPDATE: MISSION COMPLETE

[DoubleNickel]

I need to try and find out what grips (stocks) were on Chief Brody's model 15 revolver in the first Jaws movie filmed in 1974-75
In Jaws 2, filmed in 1977-78 it clearly had target grips.
I'm not sure if the grips in the first movie were magna or target?

You mean this one....

Oh snap, that's Jaws II

 

[glenwolde]

OK if you look at the boat sinking scene he's got targets...right at the beginning.

IMFDB for Jaws 2 said that he had the 15 with Target grips, "once again."

I want to say that it was correct.

In the stills of Brody firing at the shark as it swims past the boat, think I see the tops of target stocks projecting from under his hand. The stills are on IMFDB.

I seem to remember him saying "you are going to need a bigger set of grips" ……

 

[DoubleNickel]

I figured it out! In the first movie he had magna grips! Screenshot here. Everybody agree?

 

[JohnRippert]

It would not surprise me if he had more than one gun handed to him during filming. The prop guys would just grab a revolver, put some blanks in and lets go, 'Action'.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I'm at the New Orleans Airport.
Just hanging waiting for my flight.
Started talking to a guy who thought that I was Robert Shaw.
Told him repeatedly I was not Robert Shaw.
Don't think he ever believed me.
After a while that announced Boarding for Fort Walton and Robert Shaw headed for Florida.
Funny thing is nobody else anywhere ever thought I was Robert Shaw.

 

[Screwball]

My response would have been… Robert Shaw has been dead for over 45 years!
