Good movie. I liked it. The lions are currently at the Field Museum in Chicago. Yeah, but one of them has a bad tooth. They're sending a dentist out to check on it. |

I enjoyed it when I saw it in the theater, very intense...and based on a true story, the Lions are stuffed and on display in the Chicago Museum of Natural History, they are still there.

I've read Pattersons book (The guy in charge of building the railroad through Tsavo), and I've read Capsticks writing on it. Very fascinating story altogether.
I thought the movie was dumb. |

"You took an unproven weapon into battle?"
It needs to be released as a remastered Blu-ray. |

Good movie, had considerable tension, made even better knowing that it was based on actual events.
Really cheesy "effects." The lion "attacks" looked like cardboard on a stick. |
|
One of Val Kilmer's best roles. When he's in that thicket, and comes face to face with the lion, it's pretty intense.

I remember when that movie came out. My dad wouldn't let me see it, but he told the story to me and my brother every night over the course of a week.
It's pretty crazy to actually see the stuffed bodies of the lions in Chicago. I don't know how they do it, but their eyes are always on you, no matter where you are in the room. |

Thanks for the recommendation, I had forgotten about this movie. Just started it on Netflix.
|

I liked it. I get sick and tired of Hollywoods remakes and whatnot.
it was good at the time and is a decent flick now. |

There are some movies that just don't get old. Josey Whales,Toumbstone, some are just classic. Ghost in the darkness is one of them.

View Quote I didn't get Josey Wales either when I was a kid. Took me a few times to see all the nuances and depth in the movie. Now it's one of my favorites. |

Even if the total number of victims was 35 as scientist suggested rather than over 100, that's still a lot of people killed by two lions. An incredible story regardless.

Still think ought to introduce a few wolves or maybe mountain lions into Central Park. Just so everyone there can enjoy nature.

Cool movie, even though completely out of the real story.
The reports only mention John Patterson as responsible for the kills. No mention to the professional hunter played by MD. The lions did not have manes and in the movie both have massive ones. No mentions about caves where the lions dragged their victims to eat them. Nonetheless, a cool movie. |
