Jaws in 3D screening sees real fight in audience disrupt Steven Spielberg shark classic

A 3D Jaws screening descended into audience fisticuffs with their city hands in a Glasgow cinema according to local newspaper the Glasgow Times.

The 1975 Steven Spielberg shark classic has been delighting  audiences in both IMAX and Real D 3D, with this Cineworld audience getting more than they bargained for with 30 minutes of the film to go.

They were dragged out of the immersive 3D experience when a fight broke out, with cinema staff attempting to remove those who had been talking loudly. It is thought that one of those talking loudly had been drunk.

Sometimes that talking would go away, sometimes it wouldn't go away, with it eventually giving way to screaming and hollering.

Whether there was any Mrs Kintner inspired slapping or karate school chopping remain to be seen , but it must have certainly  intensified the scenes between Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and Quint (Robert Shaw) in ways that the 3D viewing audience never expected.

It eventfully spilled out all over the auditorium, quite rightly the paying audience didn't think it funny, didn't think it funny at all

A source speaking to the Glasgow Times said "It was pandemonium – someone threw their juice at someone, and it sprayed us on the other side of the room.

“Eventually the lights came on and the film stopped. A good few people, maybe about 10 to 15, were removed from the cinema.

“The film was rewound by 15 minutes so the rest of us could enjoy it.”

Anyway, they delivered the bums on seats and film fans got to experience Jaws in a way they never had before.
