The name is an homage to Steven Spielberg and comes from a line uttered by Roy Scheider in the 1975 feature Jaws: an elderly swimmer in a bathing cap teases police chief Martin Brody about not going in the water; Brody replies, "That's some bad hat, Harry." The original 2004 logo paid animated homage to this scene.

"That's Some Bad Hat, Harry."
Martin Brody gets a bit scared when he sees a dark figure in the ocean amongst the patrons. It turns out to simply be an older gentleman named Harry wearing a black swimming cap. Martin is relieved but when Harry speaks with him, Martin coldly responds with this quote as a jab. RELATED: 15 Things You Didn't Know About The Making Of Jaws A fun fact about this line is that it would end up being the inspiration for Bryan Singer's production company known as Bad Hat Harry. It's also one of many f...
"I Don't Have To Take This Abuse Much Longer."
There is no other way to see it: Richard Dreyfuss' very own Matt Hooperand Robert Shaw's Quint hate each other from the moment they first meet and that continues on their voyage upon the Orca. After Quint belittles him over whether or not their lost catch was the shark or not, Hooper takes the helm and comically mocks his situation. Not only does he respond with an "argh" like a pirate but when Quint continues to order him around, he says this quote, making for one of the funniest parts of Ja...
(Vaughn) "I'm sorry, Martin. She's wrong." (Martin Brody) "No she's not."
Just as everyone celebrates the catching of the tiger shark, Martin is confronted by Mrs. Kitner, resulting in getting slapped and blamed by the woman. She views Alex's brutal and tragic deathas Martin's fault since he knew about the shark and didn't close the beaches. Mayor Vaughn attempts to soothe the situation by saying, "I'm sorry, Martin. She's wrong." This is simply followed by a sorrowed response from Brody, "No she's not." Despite the situation being the mayor's fault, Brody still bl...
"Not Like Going Down The Pond Chasing Blue Gills Or Tommy Cats. This Shark...Swallow You Whole!"
Of all of the characters that appear in the movie, Quint certainly has the most poignant sense of humor and the bluntest and most direct way of speaking, as this quote amply demonstrates. He knows exactly what the town is up against, and it's far worse than they can imagine. More than anyone else in the film (at least at first), Quint recognizes that it isn’t going to be easy to take down this monstrous shark, and while his words have his signature folksy tone, they are a foreshadowing of wha...
"There’s Too Many Captains On This Island. Ten Thousand Dollars For Me, By Myself."
Quint realizes that the fishermen on Amity Island have never gone up against the kind of game he has, nor have they experienced the horrors he would share later on in the film. Those who attempted to take on the shark would either fail or die a horrific death. RELATED: 10 Most Rewatchable Steven Spielberg Movies With this quote, Quint demonstrates some of his less-desirable characteristics. He doesn’t seem like the type of person to do anything simply out of altruism. Instead, he is motivated...
"Well, This Is Not A Boat Accident, And It Wasn't Any Propeller, And It Wasn't Any Coral Reef, And It Wasn't Any Jack The Ripper! It Was A Shark."
Hooper's autopsy on one of the victims came up with a very different conclusion than the official story which had been floating around. The lacerations and tissue damage were not the result of any natural phenomenon or a simple accident. Annoyed, Hooper quickly became incredibly agitated when he realized that the bite marks were the sign of a great white shark. This changed everything for the small community of Amity Island, and it would involve a lot more than simply sending out fishermen to...
"Now, Fellas. This Is Not The Time Or The Place To Perform Some Kind Of A Half-Assed Autopsy On A Fish!"
There’s not really a lot to admire about Mayor Vaughn. Of all of the people that appear in the movie, he seems the least interested in the actual welfare of the people that he is supposedly supposed to govern. Instead, he masks his own agenda with one self-deceiving justification after another. As he protests the possibility of seeing a boy’s body sprawl out on the dock, it's hard not to wonder whether he actually cares about the boy at all, or whether he’s just trying to make sure that his r...
"My Kids Were On That Beach Too..."
For most ofJaws, Vaughn is simply intolerable since he's a money-grubbing politician who caused more problems than he fixed. However, after the fourth of July incident resulted in one of the scariest kills in the franchise, Martin Brody has had enough and he scolds the mayor, forcing him to sign for the hiring of Quint. Before he does though, Mayor Vaughn says this quote that redeems him just enough as a person. Where most movies would have made the mayor a one-note character, this one quote...
"I Can Do Anything. I'm The Chief Of Police."
Brody gave the audience a bit of comic relief with this scene involving him getting thoroughly drunk to drown the stresses he was under due to the shark attack. However, a visit with Hooper seemed to bolster his spirits long enough to get him back to work again. After one more drink, Brody suggests they head down to the dock and cut the shark open which may or may not contain the body of a victim. Ellen asks him if he can do that, prompting Brody to drunkenly reply with this hilarious quote.
"I'm Familiar With The Fact That You Are Going To Ignore This Particular Problem Until It Swims Up And Bites You In The Ass!"
Even though he’s a scientist and thus much more likely to rely on science and logic, there are a number of times when Hooper lets his emotions get the better of him. It's understandable given the knowledge Hooper has about sharks and their killing potential as a species. Here, Hooper goes off on Mayor Vaughn who seems far more interested in bringing a load of tourists to Amity Island than keeping them out of harm's way. One gets the sense Hooper has seen this kind of denial before.
Just for historical accuracy, it should be noted that the quote is unusual in that the original use from Jaws the movie, would make more sense if Scheider had said "That's a bad/ugly/awful hat, Harry. But in fact, Scheider was referencing the combined use of LSD (very popular in '73) and heroin.
