Man, this was the most AWESOMEST MOVIE EVAR when I was a little kid.
I mean, it's got frickin' lions, it got big guns, it's got Africa, it's got revenge, what more do you want? When, In a fit of nostalgia, I watched it a year ago as an adult, I realized that the movie does, in fact, suck. I mean really it's a terrible movie. But I still love it. |

Isn't that one of the few movies that Val Kilmer didn't actually suck in, or am I remembering this wrong?

"After 25 years as Patterson's floor rugs, the lions' skins were sold to the Chicago Field Museum in 1924 for a sum of US$5,000. The lions' skins arrived at the museum in very poor condition. The lions were then reconstructed and are now on permanent display along with the original skulls."
I need to head down to Chicago and see them. |

good movie.
Neat undertone in the film also, the french, germans and english are racing to strip africa - the muslims and hindus are trying to kill one in another and the southerner from post civil war America goes to africa to find freedom. |

If you haven't read the book, The Man-eaters of Tsavo by John Henry Patterson
You really should |

It was worth seeing, but not great, IMO. 6.5 out of 10.

You guys must have watched a different movie. It sucked balls. Only thing it had that was even sort of related to the man eaters of tsavo was lions, guns, & continent. Other than that it was 100% bull feces.
This is one of those times I wish the hollyweirds would leave history alone and just tell the fucking story. |

Good movie. Watched it a few months ago.
I think I wore out my VCR tape. Upgraded to DVD a few years ago. Wonder if it's out on blu ray. |

Many people have no idea they are down there, and miss out on an awesome exhibit. |

Remington was always an intriguing character, probably one of Douglas's best.
"Have you ever failed?" "Only at life." Very powerful scene. Only 3 words, but it spoke volumes the way Douglas delivered it. |

Shitty acting and a lot of cheesy scenes, but the story more than makes up for it.
One of my favorites. |

I liked the movie even though most of it was fabricated to make the story better, which is pretty much the norm for Hollywood.

Watching the actors swing their muzzles across each other annoys me so much that it runs the whole movie for me.

Patterson has DSO behind his name. He was kind of a big deal.

I've read and own the book, along with almost all of Capstick's, I've seen the movie quite a number of times, and saw the lions in the Chicago Field Museum, though that was years ago.
I really want to hunt in Africa. |

Go to the Field Museum often, and sometimes just to see the lions. |
