I'll Lock Up

Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic suspense thriller about a killer shark terrorising the inhabitants of a small seaside town features one of the most consistently misquoted lines in movie history.

People often say “We’re gonna need a bigger boat” when they want to point out that something is entirely inadequate for a demanding task. The line is supposedly delivered by Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) to shark hunter Quint (Robert Shaw) when he finally catches sight of the giant shark.

But most people get the quote wrong. In reality it’s: “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
