Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the ocean, The Mahoning Drive-In Theater warns you to STAY OUT OF THE WATER! On Sunday, July 5th, get ready to suffer tidal trauma times two when we present a special 35mm double feature of JAWS (1975) and JAWS 2 (1978) on the big, BIG screen!There is a creature alive today who has survived millions of years of years of evolution. Without change, without passion ,and without logic. It lives to K*ll. A mindless eating machine. It will attack and devour anything. The great white shark. In 1975, Universal released JAWS, based on the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, on an unsuspecting public, and blockbuster was born, and a generation was given the unwanted gift of galeophobia.
JAWS launched careers, a four-film franchise, merchandising, and a genre (Sharksploitation) and story template that thrives to this day.
Roy Scheider stars as Chief Martin Brody, Amity Island’s top cop, whose usual summer routine of dealing with tourists and locals in a cozy ocean community gets deep-sixed when a killer great white shark comes to town hungry.
Aided by oceanographer Matt Hooper (Ricard Dreyfuss) and fishing boat captain/shark hunter Quint (Robert Shaw), the unlikely trio set out to sink the monster before it sinks them. With Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, and Carl Gottlieb.
JAWS 2 returns to Amity Island, finding Chief Brody still dealing with the trauma of the events of the first film, when ANOTHER great white decides it favors the flavor of local residents. A solid thriller with some great set-pieces, and one of the great poster taglines of all time.
With Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, Keith Gordon, and Donna Wilkes.
See the film that started it all, Stephen Spielberg’s juggernaut of aquatic terror, one of the greatest films of all time, JAWS, followed by Jeannot Szwarc’s fierce follow-up featuring a ferocious feeding frenzy, JAWS 2!
It’s twice the terror when 600 razor-sharp teeth come cruising for you! Whatever you do, STAY OUT OF THE WATER!!!
Gates open at 6pm, showtime at sundown.
Live vests recommended, but not required.
