Because nearby Martha's Vineyard is having a three day "Jaws Fest" to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film's release, I watched this for the unteenth time. This time I was struck by the many alcohol scenes: the opening, the dinner at the Brodys', Brody on board Hooper's boat, "those nuts" hunting the sharks, Quint chuggaluging the beer then crushing the can, the male bonding Indianapolis sequence.My DVD is the 20th anniversary DTS edition, difficult but not impossible to find. On June 14 a 30th anniversary edition will be released but I don't see what else they could include to differentiate it.
The film, BTW, remains a stunner despite the numerous continuity gaffes.
