Night of the Lepus (1972): Part 1/9

[AbsentWithoutLeaving]

Where's Donnie Darko when you need him?

[jeenashirkey04]

i can see why the rabbits started attacking. its because of those morons in the beginning.

[TVlandFill]

on of the worst, and horror movies. A movie about giant killer rabbits? Really? What were they smoking when they cooked this up?

[Bobofet241]

I'm not a Doctor.. wait I am! :P

You waskally Wabbit you.

[peymaania]

This sequel to this is called Bunny Ranxh

[peymaania]

I saw a horror porn flick called "night of the penis." It was about a runaway Dildo that kept on gagging aging porn stars. Needless to say, it was deliciously cheesy.

[KoKoJazz99]

"Stepped in a rabbit hole and broke his leg. I had to shoot him."

Those "rabbit holes" are enormous! You should see 'em coming a mile away! You steered the horse right at it! Plus, he obviously didn't step in it anyway; he just slipped!

LMAO! XD

[charlesvan13]

Just bring me hassenpfeffer!!!

[gmosphere]

damn it jim im a doctor not a bunny rancher

[3YECANDY08]

"EVeryBody HAtes CHris" BRought me HERe TH!S IS A sTr8 MOV!3

[BeatleBoy247]

its Watership down on... wait a minute! Watership Down was published in 1972 the same year this movie was made in.

[MaxterandKiwiKing]

This movie got very bad reviews.It's all because of bad acting,unfitting music,use of stock footage from other movies and the fact that bunnies aren't scary.

[charlesvan13]

@MaxterandKiwiKing

The bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail was scary.

[MaxterandKiwiKing]

@charlesvan13 Yes it was...O__O

[mpjgbx]

dam those wascally wabbits!

[a1b26600]

everybody hates chris sent me here

[GooglFascists]

The hilarious part for me is they used ELEPHANT NOISES

as the sounds giant rabbits would make.

Then the logical progression is HOW BIG WOULD THEIR

"PELLETS" BE?

This is one funny-*ss movie.

[elitesvsbeanies]

who thinks they should make a sequel to this movie

[EdwardElricsGirl]

Holy fuck I love the '70s.

[xXGreenLegendRanXx]

Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not a university presi....oh nevermind.

[peymaania]

I saw a movie once called the Night of the Clitoris!

[gearboxhpc]

thank you for uploading this. I try to watch TCM underground movies when I can but I just cant stay up sometimes.

[HomieG75]

@gearboxhpc it just so happened to be on when we were at my friends house doing a little after prom get together. We stayed up to watch the whole thing. Funniest thing ever.

[clumpft]

THIS MOVIE IS SOME SERIOUS FUCKED UP SHIT!!!! GIANT FUCKING RABBITS!!! AAAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!­! THAT'S SOME SERIOUS SHIT RIGHT THERE MAN!!!!! LIKE FUCK DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!

[michelleleawaldrop1]

be very very quiet,i'm hunting wabbit

[jonquil4000]

At 5:36 "Dammit jim, Im a doctor, not a giant rabbit hunter!".

[qwyzl]

@jonquil4000 "the trouble with rabbits".... just beam 'em up to the klingons' ship!!!! that's what they did with the tribbles....

[jonquil4000]

"Eh Whats up doc?."

[jfilesbooks]

4:30 remember the movie, "they shoot horses, dont they?"...lol

[jfilesbooks]

WABBIT SEASON...DUCK SEASON

[moviebuff1941]

I'm eating pears right now, but these rabbits are creepier!

[nottheduck1]

This reminds me of my guine pig. I like 70's movies, hey have an unppolished gritty feel, even the more bigger budget movies.

[prescomp]

let the rabbits live and let the people ...... well you know.

[EmilDur1945]

dang those rabbits they killed my horse, at least thats what he will say :)

[5355vbxjbj76rvn]

"Rabbits so numerous that they threaten man's existence" ? Only if they grew to...oh, wait

[philipbabb]

Rabbits can be eaten right? So an overpopulation of rabbits means no food shortage for humans unless you're picky about what you eat.

[limbdarkening]

I wanna be a rabbit herder!

[HyperHare]

These are actually hares. One can tell by thebigger size (of the wild ones), longer ears and limbs. Also, Lepus is the genus that all hares belong to. Of course, being made in the 70s, people probably couldn't tell the difference between rabbits and hares. They both kick ass though. =D

[lolasurf47]

I noticed that in movies from the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties that people and just the whole movie look different.

[agt334]

I really hate movies from the 70s. I can't exactly say why, but i don't like them. There are many movies from the 50s and 60s which i really like but the 70s ...not my thing.

[limbdarkening]

@agt334 How about the 1980s?

[whiskeyify]

best to skip this one...awful special effects and stupid acting too.

[zerokomma]

Sublime flick.

[Jellygooose]

rock. and. roll.

[StoyOfDeath]

The black and white film footage was from the dust bowl in the American Midwest during the 1930s.

[bribabytt]

Any movie that starts with a guy shooting his horse is gonna be fun.

And calling Stuart Whitman and Janet Leigh a "young couple" is the most far-fetched thing about the premise.

[Temascos]

Giant Killer Rabbits!? OH MY GOD! OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN!

[EarlWire7]

Why couldn't it have been about 50 foot playboy bunnies?

[emptymorphous]

this is a fuckin well donw movie...I love it

[Cavillier1970]

How do you go fromMGM musicals & Psycho to this?!? Someone tell me!

[enterprisingbones]

WHY, DE. WHY. THE MUSTACHE. WHYYYYYYYYY.

Whywhywhywhywhy.

[enterprisingbones]

@enterprisingbones (myself) ACTUALLY I'm guessing it's to decrease his sex appeal so he doesn't steal the show. PFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

[aquanette123]

i never thought they would make a movie about killer bunnies

[willom88]

willom88 good film bit corney though!

[5355vbxjbj76rvn]

There needs to be a "Lepus 2: The Return" & a "Lepus 3: the Reckoning", followed by "Lepus Invasion of Earth", "Lepus Meets Abbott and Costello", "Lepus on Elm Street", "Night Stalker: Bunny of Doom", "Lepus vs. Alien", "Hercules and the Bunnies of Mars".

[mattiathekaiju]

@5355vbxjbj76rvn Night Of the Lepus VII:Advent Bunnies.

[MrFreekoftheweek10]

i heard about this movie on everybody hates chris so i wanted to watch it

[greatjgatz]

young couple?

[Buckeyecat2002]

I want see "Plumpers" a movie about heavy water (radioactive) injected chickens that escape from the KFC processing plant.

[PlanBModels]

5:37 -"Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a rabbit warden!" lol

[wandererlain]

Haha, this looks well funny. Doubt if Alice would chase these critters down the rabbit-hole LOL

Now, I KNEW I knew those giant eyebrows from somewhere: Stuart Whitman was in Tobe Hooper's Death Trap (hilarious horror movie about a guy who has a killer crocodile for a pet)

And with Defrost Kelley (Bones, of course) in it, gotta be good!

[IntroSpetful]

The Alleged Easter Bunny' that prowls the mall in Early Spring, can be terrifying to little children and must be stopped!! Right up there with Circus Clowns!! Thanks for posting--

[FilmNMusicBuff77]

The rabbits, eat people instead of carrots. I don't think Bugs Bunny, eats people.

[TomyDayos]

@FilmNMusicBuff77

He eats if you know the right furry...

=(

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

Okay, I take back what I wrote earlier. It's nice to at least see all the TV actors from that era, despite the plot being so lame. And it's well-filmed.

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

I wish I could have back the 90 minutes I wasted watching this back in '72. Poor DeForest Kelley. From Raintree County and Star Trek to this. Thanks for posting it, though. Maybe I'll waste the time again just for old time's sake.

[poopyscorner]

Hmm and just how did rabbits get to Australia in the first place? Humans truly are their own worst enemy.

[cannonmusic1]

I LOVE "NIGHT OF THE LEPUS" and all those other campy old horror movies. They call them "B" Movies, but truthfully, they're more like "D" or "E".... I'd rather watch these crazy old movies than the new Slasher/Slaughter/Gory/Gross ones. Somebody bring back Shock Theater.

[starspangled86]

rabbit screams are the most ear-piercing sounds imaginable lol

[kasaibouF29]

It's Watership Down on steroids >:D

[WorldEffigy]

Janet Leigh must really needed the money bad. But what can explain MGM greenlighting this nonsense?

[moviepal01]

It's A Killer Rabbit I tell you!!!!

[squeaka4life]

thanx 4 posting!! i've been looking for this for a long time!

[Aurone]

Is that Bones?

[2837sharding]

Rabbits are a pain in the ass.

I had one as pet and those fuckers can't

stop eating & shiting. and they chew

on evry thing. But the weirdest thing

is that she loved starting at the TV for

sum reason

[tb8202]

@2837sharding it was probably dreaming of getting giant and eating you

[2837sharding]

@tb8202 LoL, GOOD sh!t HApPY EaSter

[MearickLee]

Thank you for posting, been wanting to see it since I ran across it on BadMovies XD

[HarleyDuryea]

i used to love this movie as a kid. 5 stars! the begining is hard to watch though. poor Bun-buns

[FilmNMusicBuff77]

@HarleyDuryea This was when, monster movies bacame popular until, Jaws broke box office records in 1975. These RABBITS, eat people instead of carrots. Bugs Bunny, disapproves evil rabbits.

[Gaugoo8]

4:20 Those mounds are huge! How could you possibly have ridden your horse into them?? Are you blind, or just can't see huge brown rabbit-holes in the middle of a flat plain?

[raposofan]

If all modern movies opened this way, I'd see more movies :)

[paddy9465]

THANKS EASTER BUNNY! POCK! POCK!

[nevaseenamancry]

Deforest Kelly at 8:20 ! WOW! He's dead, Jim!

[nevaseenamancry]

KILL THE EASTER BUNNY!!!!!

[aupz23]

Wasn't it possible if a veterinarian could've treated the horse instead of the horse being shot?

[Masterslosey]

I betcha PETA's pretty pissed at this...

[DarthMorbius1977]

This movie Needs a Rifftrax!

[cottonwhiskersuk]

I'm gonna watch this just because it's got Deforest "Bones" Kelley in it!

[Doggieman1111]

awesome thanks for posting this! Could you seed it as a torrent as well? This is impossible to find.

[Dragonfist12185]

aw look at all the bunnies.

[ashsexygirl]

OMG I freakin love this movie! tooo priceless!

[MVHSphysics]

This movie is one of the FUNNIEST movies EVER!!!

[EarlWire7]

Shouldn't we be seeing Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot pop up at some point?

[CPuff8D]

Man I WISH!

[stupidstuffx]

Mike did reference this movie at the very end of Future War after he went off the deep end from the movie being soooo ungodfully horrible.

[Cavillier1970]

@EarlWire7 LOL Amen brother! I'm just wondering how real the film footage at the beginning was. I've seen stuff like that from Australia with field mice being a real swarm a few years ago. It was estamated at least 500,000 mice were running crazy but bunnies?

[Warkingist]

@EarlWire7

heh, yah, where are they when you dont have anything to insult this film

[moviepal01]

Classic killer bunnies! the easter bunny is back and he's pissed!!!!

[wrescott]

i just love the attack sequences with bunny suit lol

[kashjjj]

Der Ton ist viel zu leise!

[Ratt1959]

The perfect Easter movie. I loved it at the drive-in and still love it.

[kammed6]

Thanks for finding and posting this movie. I haven't seen this flick since I was in 2nd grade!! Boy, I had nightmares for weeks! :)

[GoblinXXX]

This is truly the finest giant killer bunny movie made in Hollywood in the early 70s... Heck, in the entire DECADE of the 70s!
