June 30th - JAWS - The original televsion broadcast - 3rd Gen+ recrding from my VHS archives from a trade in early 1990.
With most movies, a lot more footage is filmed than actually ends up in the final product. JAWS is no exception, with a large number of scenes that were cut, many due to the fact that the mechanical shark rarely worked as planned. Some of these scenes turned up in the ABC television version of JAWS that aired back in the late 1970s-early 1980s. Many more of these "lost" scenes are shown on the 20th Anniversary Laserdisc version of JAWS. However, the original broadcast has scenes and footage not shown on recent television airings or on the 25th or 30th DVD deleted scenes section.
Thus is a true one time television version.
presented here in all it's glory.
