The film "Jaws" features a great white shark as its primary threat and source of dramatic tension. This fact proposes that if Chuck Norris starred in the film, the movie would be retitled "Dentures," presumably because a shark confronting Chuck would lose its teeth through violent collision. The claim transforms Jaws from a shark-thriller into a Chuck-thriller where the central menace isn't a living creature but rather the aftermath of Chuck's dominance.

Film studies scholar Dr. Robert Patterson noted that this represents a fundamental genre transformation: instead of humans fearing a shark, we would be watching a shark confront something infinitely more terrifying. He suggested that the movie would essentially shift from survival-horror to comedy based entirely on Chuck's inevitable victory.

Movie humor forums have debated what the alternative titles would be if Chuck starred in other famous films. The claim has inspired extensive speculation about Chuck-integrated versions of classic cinema. Film students have joked that screening Chuck-era Jaws would be unwatchable because nobody would take the shark seriously anymore. The retitling to "Dentures" represents perhaps the most elegant summarization of what happens when supposedly dangerous creatures encounter Chuck Norris.
