ROY SCHEIDER, a one-time boxer whose broken nose and pugnacious acting style made him a star in The French Connection and who later uttered one of cinematic history’s most memorable lines in Jaws, has died. He was 75.

Roy Scheider, a two-time Oscar nominee best known for his role as the police chief in the blockbuster ‘Jaws’, has died, it was announced today.

MARLON BRANDO was a contender in the American Film Institute’s list of best quotes from US movies, but No 1 was Rhett Butler’s parting shot to Scarlett O’Hara: “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

Cue the ominous bass line and close the beaches.

A charmless screen version of the title-named comic-book character in which cold revenge is the theme; and in which the laughable Travolta illustrates another of his slides into the unwatchable.
