: Hello All!
: I have a question regarding the Hooper character in "Chasing Amy". WHo is he named after, the guy from "Jaws", or the Burt Reynolds character in the Burt-tastic "Hooper"? Burning questions.... I know Kevin is away, but might anyone else know?
"Hooper" was originally a character in Mallrats who worked at a store in the Mall and at one point Kevin was going to have Quint, Brodie, and Hooper discussing sex scars (the scene that then ended up in Amy) as an homage to Jaws.
