[jmen4ever]

I seen this movie for the first time, 43 years ago today, and it blew me away! A very powerful film!

[monkeypaw4badboy]

This is the second movie that's not in widescreen missing part of the movie dammit!!!! Fix this shit people please.

[JazzKeyboardist1]

did not know about apocolypto,,,connection,,, just knew it was subtitled ,, fun now to imagine mel gibson as the hunted, with the africans as his bad guys instead of just his usual target jews,lol

[sonicscreamingblue]

[OneEyedJack1970]

Something similar happened to John Colter in 1809. He was fur trapping with a man named Potts in Montana, when they came across several hundred Blackfoot Indians. They were told to come to shore, and Colter was disarmed and stripped, but Potts refused and was killed and hacked up. They told Colter to run, then sent several warriors after him. He outran all but one, killed him, then hid in a beaver dam until the others stopped looking. Eleven days later, he made it to a trader's fort.

Great Movie!!

Cornel Wilde・・・

[skudaarkaat1]

One of the best "Sleeper" movies I've ever seen. I happened to see it one night, around 1:30 in the morning when I couldn't sleep and it was just starting. I thouroughly enjoyed every minute!

[MrUnclesam666]

i herd this really happened in america back in the day

[alnabir1231]

[alnabir1231]

this is real shooting the elephant

[mpsicily]

Great movie and great post........My favorite movie of all time........

[MsKittenz1]

this makes me dislike white ppl. they are in Africa and the white guy goes 'they think they own this country' . this attitude is why white ppl steal culture, land, they feel somehow they are wht and therefore entitled. And treat others as nothing. the slaying of elephants just to profit for ivory pisses me off to. or killing 4 sport. Treating other human beings as though they are beneath u or like they are savages is unappealing!

[tugbowen]

@MsKittenz1 AND the capturing, killing, beheading and EATING of neighboring tribes does not offend you??? Luckily for you, people change and learn thru the years...OR DO WE??????

[RealTalkification]

@MsKittenz1

relax. they WERE savages.

[paladindarknite]

@MsKittenz1 you live in their own culture, youre fucking ppl should you off from guns n cigerattes, be grateful, they showed you more respect than JESUS CHRIST on your kind, animal!

[sean57]

another good one was "Sands of the Kalahari "

[01sircharles]

I was looking for something on JOHN COULTER. Coulters' run, or escape. a great true story .

[macemcguire]

@01sircharles In William Wellmans Across the Wide Missouri Clark Gable though not playing Coulters, emulates his escape from Indians by outrunning them.Ditto RodSteigers in Sam Fullers Run of the Arrow.But Ive never seen anythin g on Coulters hinself.As you say a great (true story)

[kane123x1]

I've been looking to see The Naked Prey for what seems like forever since last catching it 30-some years ago as a child - riveting and exhilarating in equal measure still. Thanks so much for uploading this film, and have a virtual pint on me for your trouble :-)

[breezeman199]

What a fool that guy is at 07:00. Just give the guy a token offering and let it be.

[mpsicily]

@breezeman199 Then they wouldn't have had a plot for a movie.....You better start "Praying Cause You Gonna Be Naked"....

[breezeman199]

@mpsicily Just like in An American werewolf in London. That guy just had to ask about that item on the wall....

[leafyutube]

This was groundbreaking stuff for 1966 when released. Still pretty potent today even.

Definitely Apocolypto pays homage to this.

[bozez1]

Dude....thank you.  Been looking for this for years.

[journeyquest1]

The hunter becomes the hunted.

[phantastickyle]

Guess they should have given them what they wanted instead of all that being hunted down.

[IrishClaudius]

@phantastickyle yeah but who wins and slots all the gooks - very well made film but NOT well meaning.

[megapolon]

Ugh. All they wanted was a minor sign of respect. A small, financially insignificant rendering. Basically saying, "Hey, we know this is your land, and we respect that. We're here to hunt elephants. Please, give these gifts to your chief. Tell him we appreciate being allowed to hunt on his land." They were asking for very little. Great movie. And yes, given the social climate of the '60s, this film was ahead of its time. And, yeah, I do definitely see the Apocolypto references in this.

[GOODFELLAS74]

I saw this movie back in 1980 what a great film to watch from start to end

[xyzpr11]

Of the few films made of this theme,

this has to be the best ever.

The Most Dangerous Game from the 30s

was superb. Subsequent efforts as

Surviving the Game with Rutger Hauer

may fit the times.

Yet nothing to date depicts the will to survive as this film conveys.

THANKS.....

[bluezappy]

Brutal shots of the elephant kills.

I've seen this film twice as a kid on TV (1960's and early 70's). Obviously it was edited.

[DrayeArt]

One of 3 of the most riveting films set in Africa(along with Zulu and Shaka Zulu). Cornel Wilde was a bit of an auteur in the same vein as Orson Welles. I don't know if I get the connection to Apocolypto, tho. Thanx for uploading this.

[Redshift313]

The premise... man hunting man... though the particulars are different at their core they are the story of a "MAN-HUNT"

[1middlesbrough]

The guy who was offensive to the africans , actually was in Zulu, he played the boer who advised the 2 officers

[Frostbyte380]

one of the best movies ever! thankyou!!!

[soulwam]

Great to find this. Thanks! Last time i saw this it was on TV in Black and white, and cropped. I was very disappointed. I saw The Naked Prey at the cinema on first release. I was fourteen years old. I'd seen a preview on TV and knew I had to see it and kept an eye on the local picture houses until it appeared. It blew my mind. Cornel Wilde was a good man, a true original who did the impossible and combined adventure, art and ethics within the Hollywood system. He was way ahead of his time.

[dRunKnkenSamuRaI]

Man redshift, your awesome! thanks!

[bonchbonch]

Classic film.
