[Video] Robert Shaw’s Son Ian Does a Pitch Perfect Impression of Quint from ‘Jaws’
Inspired by the private diaries of Jaws star Robert Shaw, the play The Shark is Broken is currently taking a bite out of Edinburgh’s Assembly George Square Studios in Scotland, co-written by and starring the late actor’s son, Ian Shaw. Ian, naturally, plays his dad in the stage production, which tells previously untold stories about the downtime on the Jaws set.
“For much of the filming of Jaws the mechanical shark was broken, and stars Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider found themselves quartered on the Orca – the famously small shark-hunting boat – for hours on end awaiting their scenes. The play hilariously reveals the true relationships, the secret clashes and intrigues behind the legendary movie.”
As it turns out, Ian Shaw does a dead-on impression of his dad, and he’s mastered both the voice and mannerisms of Quint in particular. For a little taste, you can check out a special message Ian Shaw recently recorded for The Daily Jaws, in full Quint costume, below.
It’s eerie how pitch-perfectly Ian has channeled his dad here…
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
