In my opinion, one of the funniest scenes in Jaws is when Quint opens a can of beer, downs it all, and crushes the can in front of Matt Hooper. Feeling emasculated, Hooper then finishes his water (?) and crushes the plastic cup, as though he’s as much of a badass. I can’t put my finger on why I love that scene so much but it just illustrates the absurdity of their love/hate relationship so perfectly. They’re like two brothers who constantly squabble but, at the end of the day, can have a great time together.
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Jaws, Narragansett Beer is bringing back the design of that very same beer can for the entire summer! According to their site, “…all 12-, 18- and 30-packs of 12-ounce cans of Narragansett Lager will replicate the 1975 can famously crushed by Captain Quint in the shark-infested thriller!”
I have no idea where to get my hands on some of these, so if anyone has any clues, tell me in the comments so I can pick up a pack!
