Brody: Smile you son of a B*TCH.

and

Brody: You're gonna need a bigger boat.

a couple of classic lines from the movie...I was on vacation on South Padre Island, Texas when I saw this movie back in '75...I was 8 or 9 at the time...it scared the living s**t out of me...would not go in the water the whole time we were there...gotten over it since...I think:ermm:

I didn't even realize he was 75, rest in peace.

Don't they mean the actor from Seaquest? Now - that was a show! RIP, my man.

 

[The Dude]

The first thing I thought of was SeaQuest.

Apparently I'm not the only one.

I had forgotten about that show, isn't that the one with the dolphin who could talk? He was good in 2010 as well.

Yep. I believe it's name was Darwin...but maybe my memory fails me.

Yes, the dolphin's name was Darwin.

I remember him mostly for The French Connection and Jaws. The "oh s***" look on his face when he says "You're gonna need a bigger boat." is priceless. He really nailed that line.

Great actor...I also did not realize he was that old...RIP

he was pretty good in Blue Thunder too.

Sad news.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

He was in a lot of movies..............

A great one!

The Fourth War!

Do you think the French Connection was his most famous?

 

[Chemvol]

The French Connection might be his best movie, but Jaws has to be his most famous one. But he usually turned in a good performance. Just about anything he was in was worth seeing.

I was struggling between the two..........

I guess Jaws is more mainstream.

One of the scariest movies ever. When i first saw this as a kid, it made me afraid to take a bath.

I remember going to a pool party with my sister not too long after I saw Jaws for the first time. It was dark and some girl was swimming toward me and I about had a heart attack!

I loved Blue Thunder as a kid, and being a pilot was my first "what I wanne be when I grow up" thoughts.

R.I.P.

Having a young kid get snatched off that float left a lasting impression!
