by Erik Hollander
Lynn Murphy and myself posing with the fishing pole used by Quint on the Orca. Lynn was so good to us. He gave us an exhaustive tour of his place and all the props used in the film, many of which were in his home. He also shared many pictures from shooting that were in his photo album.

Dave made a sketch of Brody and Quint; it’s the scene where Quint yells to Hooper, “Hooper you idiot, starboard ain’t you watchin it?!”

JAWS 5: “This Time, It’s Pointless”
The movie opens basically the same as the original, with the shark’s POV, except that it keeps bumping into things, and there’s lots of silly things at the bottom of the ocean that you wonder how they got there (kind of like I wonder how the hell Quint “saw a shark eat a rocking chair once).
