Lance Henriksen should have just tossed away the grenade in Hard Target.
Richard Dawson should have been nice to Sven.
Vernon Wells should not have thrown away his gun at the end of Commando.
Monkey fighter should not have jumped right at sumo guy.
Yeah these aren't main characters but who gives a f.
It wasn’t his boat. Once Quint realized the challenge he was in for with the shark he had too much pride to go back to shore to admit that he didn’t have the capability of killing it.
Yeah nobody was making Quint do anything he didn't want with his boat. He would have crushed Drefuss like a plastic cup and even Roy would have ended up in the water.
This is true, absolutely, but Brody being the Amity Police Chief didn't really make a wise choice continuing to go along with Quint which was likely going to jeopardize their safety all so an old drunken fisherman could scratch an itch
So a Police Chief forfeits his authority just cause he's on someone elses boat? I'm sure a police chief could have flexed some muscle when he felt his own safety was in jeopardyWhat would you have had Brody do though? It seemed kind of like his choices were go along to get along or else swim back...
He seemed like a pretty smart guy too. What are you gonna do with $2million cash? You can’t make large deposits or big purchases without serious questions being asked leading to you being tracked. He even says himself “at what point would you stop looking for $2 million?”. He had to know he’d be hunted for the rest of his life even if he did never go back to the scene to give the guy water.Should never have taken the money.

Oops.
I think every avenue other than compliance with Quint ends up with Brody in the water somehow.
Roy is a tough guy but Jaws Quint would have steamrolled Jaws Roy.
Quint was never going to be convinced or made to do anything. Roy would have basically had to either knock him out and tie him up or else kill him. And there's no way a sailor like Quint wouldn't have escaped from any knot known to man.
Maritime Law. He was the captain of the boat. The only way the chief could have taken control was if he said "Look at me, I am the captain now"
Those red flag laws didn't exist in the time the movie was set in.He seemed like a pretty smart guy too. What are you gonna do with $2million cash?
