Description
Jaws VHS 1983 - IGS Box 8.5 MINT and Seal 8.5 MINT, Wraparound MCA HV Watermarks, MCA Home Video. When a killer shark unleashes chaos on a New England beach community, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.Steven Spielberg's 1975 film Jaws could have been the end of his career before he ever really got started. The film went massively over budget, it's animatronic antagonist never quite worked properly, and his hero ship nearly sank during filming. Yet, somehow that nightmare of a shoot brought out the best in its 26-year-old director. The film was not only successful, it was a mega-hit, going on to become the first film to break one-hundred million dollars at the box office. Jaws not only created the summer blockbuster, it made an entire generation scared to go into the ocean.
This absolutely beautiful early 1983 copy of Jaws comes with highly sought after wraparound MCA Home Video watermarks and has received a Box grade of 8.5 MINT and a Seal grade of 8.5 MINT by IGS. The sub-grades assigned to the tape are box-corners (8), box-edges (8.5), box-surface (9), seal-surface (9), seal-tightness (9), and corners & edges (7.5).
