Chrissie’s Autopsy Scene Edit

[boheenMember]

I’m sure this has been covered before, but I have never seen it. What exactly was editted out of Chrissie’s autopsy scene, why was it editted and is there any video of the original scene? I have read some ideas on the Nitpickers web-site, but someone here should have the definitive answer. I’ll hang up and listen to your answer.

i would say, if TSISW DOESN’T cover it….

you’ll never see it b.

I’ve read it was just a sloppy edit.

Erm….what was left to operate on?
The only remaining part of her body was her arm….right?

I remember seeing JAWS when it was originally released. I also remember seeing early presentations of it on TV. The scene you’re referring to is one I’ve been searching for for ages. I just get so annoyed with the horribly chopped edit there. Hooper picks up Chrissie’s severed arm and says, “This is what happens” and there’s a hard cut there and a few moments are lost. The scene picks up with Hooper talking about shark feeding. During the missing seconds, Hooper explains “what happens” when a large predatory shark feeds. There’s not much cut, but it’s just such a hack job that it’s nearly intolerable. I keep looking for a Director’s Cut that has all of the movie in it, but as yet haven’t found one.

Same here..I just get so annoyed with the horribly chopped edit there. Hooper picks up Chrissie’s severed arm and says, “This is what happens” and there’s a hard cut there and a few moments are lost.
