The Most Dangerous Game (2001)

[jtbrier]

They missed a lot of stuff from the book one that is stupid is that he never cut off his hand and there was dogs and ivan dies and he sets two traps and the trap he did set in this isnt called whatever but ya it could have been good and his friends never die either.

[hmhorselover]

i liked the book better... Psssh what a sappy ending XD

[XINKAI]

@hmhorselover

Did he loose his hand in the book? been years since i've read it

[ElChinoKwan]

horrible movie...the story was not that simple and they missed a lot and put a lot of retarded things...that were not from the book...

[blackghostcat]

i dont care what people think i like this better than the really old movie but the books good too

[SpectreBlades]

Just gonna be a major critic here... Alright the guy wasn't supposed to be black cause zaraoff stated that he practically hunted everyone.. asians africanamericans.. convicts.. prisoners.. ect .. Your missing key details, and 75 percent of the suspense that was in the book... from howd he get inthe tree.. the hounds.. the gun that was pointing at rainsfords chest when he knocked on the door.. deaths swamp ect..But all in all good work :3 just saying, this could have been super amazing:3

[chaddyzam24]

yeah same as you buddy!!! we need this ,,, we have to roleplay this....

[MrWal97eed]

hey guys who can summery the story for me? plz i have a final exam

[chaddyzam24]

just like4 for me dude!!! goodluck

B-)

[MrWal97eed]

@chaddyzam24 thank's dud but can u summer it? plz i need it tomorrow !!

[chaddyzam24]

@MrWal97eed hmmm... i have a copy of the summary but i dont want to type it down....its 3 pages and im exhausted ...hmmm

sorry dude!!!

[xXTheGreatGooseXx]

the water at the beging looks fake (computer generated), which makes it look cool to me

[dannyboylee]

@xXTheGreatGooseXx Ha! Nope, the water is 100% real. My DP stood at the very end of the fishing plank at the bow of a boat and got that shot.

[OdorousGore]

Whats with the chick she wasn't in the book!



[dolphins5545]

We just read this book in my 8th grade english class it was acted out perfectly!

[drnogood59]

Nice work. I like the actor for Count Zaroff. He did a good job even though that evil laugh was weird. For $500 this is pretty good. Anyone who moans about having to watch this for a class has no sense of the effort that goes into making films. It isn't as easy as pick a few guys and record them reading a telepromter.

[unsafe8989]

I was watching a essay during this short film, does not match the written version but.its intresting.

[TheDeathnote1997]

We read the story this year, it was pretty interesting.

[danasong123]

i have to study this in 8th grade =_=

[Pokefunness]

Just finished reading this is ELA. The story is quite interesting. I'm glad to have finally found the movie.

[xx30so]

I study it in grade 9 this my favoriate story I ever see

[xx30so]

I like this video

[BeautifulDawn97]

haha we have this in english class:P

[EminemRules15]

The reason y u guys think it is dumb is bcuz u havnt read the story and its good but this movie is nothing like the story

[kris9031998]

Alright, although the general video was terrible, i thought the conversation about the hunter and respect for the prey was pretty good.

[armin3442]

the chase lasted 3 days... zarrof did not ever see rainsford

he released the hounds on the t=3rd day, and rainsofrd was sneaky about geting in the house.

[RandomIssues]

at 22:04 do all black hands turn white after they are cut off?

[Visitormassacre]

This is so dumb, I can't say anything about it.

[felipelebrao]

21:10

lol owned retard

[FOTSproductions]

whoever made this has disgraced an incredible story and what could be an amazing film and they should be put to an early grave

[1abraham12]

Difreent from the story

[Pixcodelix]

OMG the fap hand is the left one he cant FAP anymore!

[LightofTrance]

oh am gee. i love this story. its like hunters. but off of world of warcraft.

[DestinyChaser101]

Yea...and since when did Rainsforth cut off his wrist?!

[ReubenIsLord]

Very Nice! Excellent job, very original.

[MitchieCookie123]

Fucking retard that's a Burmese tiger pit

[IZincGamingI]

Watching in school we all liked it

[FlikkyFilms]

Russian Island? werent they on their way to cancun?

[FlikkyFilms]

@FlikkyFilms my mistake its Rio...still no were close to Russia.

[TheMagnificentTrio]

Don't blame the movie, blame the book (unless the movie was made first)

[azspringtime]

I'm joking about the founding father's movie, but not really. LOL!

[azspringtime]

Wow! I can't believe how hung up people are about not sticking to the original story and who cares about him being black. Most movies vary from the writer's story. Hey, maybe you should do a story about the founding fathers and cast everyone as a minority, but not as a satire piece. A serious film of the founding fathers starring blacks, native Americans, Chinese, etc.. I mean they use to put whites in roles of natives, blacks, etc..So, why not? Then you'd really hear it.

[KashgroundTM]

at least i get why book readers are pissed off atr movie makers now lol

[buTTers29851]

he had to change the names cause he didnt have copyright

[Coolbunny203]

I think that how General Zaroff was detailed in the book, he reminds me of the king in "Full Metal Alchemist."

[ASTR0mlg]

An outstanding book but not the movie its just ok

[Th3L0lWut]

lol where'd you get a leon paul sabre?

[nikeskateing22]

the black guy wouldnt be able to swim....

[derben16]

I want his dreams...

[derben16]

5:15 Enter Russian stereotype!

[derben16]

Ransford is suppose to be white, not some some Shaq wanna be!

[dannyboylee]

@iluvmodding5 Huh?

[commander3232]

@iluvmodding5 i loved it, aced our test on this book

[McCoyKid96]

@iluvmodding5 Same Here -_-

[gissy1ful]

@iluvmodding5 Werd ! &'d This Aint' Helping Mee,Dha Book Is Wayy Better &'d Iht Seems Like More Action !

[TheToilet21]

@iluvmodding5 you a :newfag:

[eroka5]

Wow this helped me so much for my questions to answer..

Thanks!

[mbean8000]

replace rainsford with john rambo lol zaroff would regret "hunting" with him LOL

[foreversunshine836]

what, are you guys from the 1800's? doesnt matter if hes white or black. geez

[chaddyzam24]

@foreversunshine836 hahahahaha yeah as long as we can interpret this ryt...

[schilllinger]

For 500 bucks you did a fucking great job!  Acting was rough around the the edges but overall it's cool as hell.

[forreall33]

this is great! stop complaining everyone.

[SargeantNoob7]

i hardly think thats any of your business. >:( i just cannot stand stereotypes. i dont think that there is anything wrong with that.

[screminalien5]

i think its bad casting...wat would this old man be doing hunting! hed probably break a hip!

[JakobDailes]

@screminalien5 Zaroff was old in the story, dude.

[OnllyYouShawtyy]

he fell of his yacht, and ivan was holding a gun. thats as far as i got.

[theblazerist]

omfg thumbsw down the BOOK was SO mch better in everyway. Read it for English class

[magabroom]

his hand LOLOLOLOL dying....

[AnnaJay246]

THUMBS Up If you didnt Understood the whole story In ENglish Class -__-

[Aleccook]

i dont like the acting at the end

[RandomizersTV]

I have to do a stupid exam on this story -__-

[1234usmarinecorps1]

wtf not even on track of the story yall suck in life

[snozer2]

They missed so much crap and edited it so badly, and it ruined it for me....

There was a big tree leaning on a small one as the manctcher,

The spiked pit was a burmese tiger pit, and there was Ivan who got th dogs and was killed by a springing tree trap!

They kind of failed...

[XAgenerationAX]

what the hell is this?!?!?

[GlAcKeNbUrGeN]

At 15:21 he dreamed that KFC went out of business.

[SuperDINoRoar]

this is waaaayyy differnt then the storyy i read O.o

[LeenLovesBiebs]

We read this for English and i really didnt understand the ending. this helped man!

[Sevthehunter]

rainsfords name wasnt robert in the story...

[dannyboylee]

@NinjaEpix This is why.

[greg68888]

@Sevthehunter true... it was Sanger

[Sevthehunter]

@greg68888 yeah...

[12vfc]

they sooo changed this story around BIG TYM

[timerunnerproduction]

i thought the hounds surrounded him, not general zaroff cornering him... i take it you couldn't afford the hounds, so you made the adjustment?

[CHHSBruins66]

since when is rainsford black???

[dannyboylee]

@CHHSBruins66 Since the first time we see him. Watch it again and see.

[dannyboylee]

@NinjaEpix This is why.

[MatKiller1197]

i thought that rainsford was white wtf

[dannyboylee]

@MatKiller1197 You must hate Jurassic Park too. In that movie Alan Grant looks nothing like how he's described in the book.

[Davidgon100]

@dannyboylee i dont hate jurassic park, i never read the book

[dannyboylee]

@NinjaEpix This is why.

[Xanofar]

@MatKiller1197 He definitely was. However, the person Zaroff hunted the day before Rainsford was a black sailor, and noted as such.

[SargeantNoob7]

@MatKiller1197 OH MY GAWDDD what a stereotype >:(

[MatKiller1197]

@SargeantNoob7 whats your problem are black?

[wesrush2]

@MatKiller1197 thats what i thought too

[Veninax]

Not exactly the same as the original, but it still maintains the atmosphere and feeling of the short story itself. Good work!

[xXbrassKnuckels99Xx]

Great Movie!

[TorchHamma]

lol so what happened to ivan? they forgot that part. where did that woman come from? and where's whitney? it didn't really match the actual story, but it was still good. i enjoyed it.

[alombary]

Yea I finished the story today and what he's black

[jovaniortiz1]

i liked the story better

[jovaniortiz1]

i just finished reading this yesturday

[warwinpink22]

I remember reading this story in one of my english classes, and I watched this back then. I loved it! Then in my current english class one of my classmates mentioned it and I remembered the this! So, I had to come find it! I just want to let you know, it is still as good as I remember! Great job!

[Riku2099]

yeah this is nothing like the story

[eyeoftiger101]

Want some wine with that cheese?

[thelittlerosy]

count zaroff? its general 

[PiXeLTeRmInAtOr]

Have you read The Scarlet Ibis? Its a good book.

[azspringtime]

@PiXeLTeRmInAtOr It's funny that you mention this book. I read it around the same time I read 'The Most Dangerous Game'. I could never remember the title; so, thanks for mentioning it here. I'd love to read it again. I always thought both would make good movies.

[sawfan777]

rainsford is black!!!!

[SaucedoeluKe]

It was alright but i ask why not follow the story?

[xxStevenNguyenxx]

i thought in the book says that when rainsfords first trap hits generals zaroffs shoulder but this video failed.

[dannyboylee]

@xxStevenNguyenxx Your comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Seriously, where the hell are all of you people coming from that you don't know how to construct a simple sentence?

[NinjaEpix]

@dannyboylee hes right the story says it hits his shoulder that was on quiz your being pretty rude

[dannyboylee]

@NinjaEpix You guys must hate movies like Jaws, The Godfather, Lord of the Rings, and The Shining. Those movies changed aspects of their source material in much larger ways than I did here. Am I being rude? I'm happy to have polite exchanges with people who understand how adaptations work, who know how to properly construct sentences, in the English language, and who understand that there are reasons for the changes I have made. 95% of the people commenting here are imbeciles.

[NinjaEpix]

@dannyboylee um... actually you just listed some of my favorite movies and please done compare yourself to those great amazing directors when your clearly trying to belittle me here making me feel like im crap... ps its not working so please stop being so rude and dont compare yourself to amazing people who wouldnt do that kind of thing

[dannyboylee]

@NinjaEpix You completely missed my point, as I figured you would. The point is that it's not the sign of a good adaptation that it's a slave to the source material. Yet most of the commenters here use differences between the movie and short story to prove the movie sucks. Better criticisms would be "this shot wasn't in focus" or "the wife subplot was confusing". Instead they say "Rainsford's black!" or "Zaroff wuz sposed 2 get hit in da shoulder!" Defend these idiots and I WILL belittle you.

[NinjaEpix]

@dannyboylee why are you like this? your as cold as the cold wind blows when it snows and its 20 below

[theruble881]

@xxStevenNguyenxx the book and both movies are different

[Princessbjm1114]

Very good. Not as close to the story as I would have hoped, but very good filming.

[Carmelogrl]

this is so fucking cheesy

[safety33569]

Not match with the real story.

Bad

[dannyboylee]

@safety33569 I realize that many of you are being sent to this video by your teachers, but when I read comments like this, it really makes me think that either you are all idiots or you have awful teachers. Whatever the case, please do me a favor and click on the ads that are attached this video.

[cassiel16]

omg the light sucks for the camera you are using

[GQOfficial]

cold war...? the cold war didnt even happen when the story was written...

[dannyboylee]

@GQOfficial Clearly this adaptation is set post-Cold War. Geez, you must just about have an aneurism when you see Shakespeare in a contemporary setting.

[GQOfficial]

@dannyboylee ohhhh..... ok i was so confused because the story wouldve been so off if it was supposed to be the original story. btw, rainsford actually didnt feel anything for the animals until he was hunted himself, so you should ajust that

[dannyboylee]

@GQOfficial Oh yeah? I should go back and "ajust" it? You mean adjust? You mean I should go back to a movie I made in school 10 years ago and reshoot and re-edit it so that it better reflects what you would have done if you had made the movie? Is that what you're saying I should do?

[GQOfficial]

@dannyboylee hahahahahah nah, i just say that so people know that this is not like the real story. you should have that in the discription or something

[swimmer2190]

@dannyboylee

I hope you do relize i was only expressing how my friends and teachers reacted to the video, and after seeing your video my s.s. project group got the idea to instead of make a comic strip, make a video similar to yours for the epic of gilgamesh.

later in the year we are going to make our own video of the most dangerous game.

I get offended very easily and do apoligize if I in anyway make you angry, I was only expressing my and my class's opinion and translations of your movie,

[FunnYguY4532]

i hope he is right handed

[swimmer2190]

@dannyboylee

thank you.

btw, everyone was laughing, including my teacher.

Its not my fault you whomever made this video couldn't pay attention to details and create a finer quality piece of work that showed the metephor of this story and actuly somehow was like the story.

I am not an idiot. I am in 3 honors classes, soon to be 4, have 100 averages in almost all of my subjects except one and am on 3 varsity sports teams. And I still have time to make a better video for s.s. than this.

[dannyboylee]

@swimmer2190 I made this video in 2001 for my senior video production class in college. I was 21 years old at the time, and the film had a budget of $500. Please, by all means, use your skills as an honor student to make your own movie adaptation of the story. But do it for that budget. I look forward to seeing your film! Let me know when it's online.

[tyler434652]

sweet

[dannyboylee]

@SilverFlute97 By all means, go for it! I'm excited to see your movie!

[tyler434652]

so im gessing the tiger killed his wife and thats why hes a hunter.am i right?

[dannyboylee]

@tyler434652 Well done. Yes. You got it.

[swimmer2190]

my ELA teacher had us watch this toda, funniesmovie i have ever seen during the opning scene, this kid screams out"I THOUGHT HE WAS WHITE!!!!"

best ela class ever black guy cutting off his hand and then while his hand is in the trap its white, random women, tiger black guy screaming, random giant oose head in the torture chamber where the guy has blood on his face then doesn't we were all laughing so hard, best waste of my time in school because of the laughs and convorsations. haha,

AAHHHHH!

[dannyboylee]

@swimmer2190 You are an idiot.

[kylekitty04]

Personally, I think this was a great movie. I had to watch this a few days ago in my English Class and I really liked it. I love how you spiced it up more! Like when Rainsford had to cut his hand off. I watched a couple other of your movies and thought they were great as well! People just need to lay off, I want to see them do better.

[Girlrocks1997]

guys stop ur freaking comments u should be thanking him !! for doing this or presenting it !!! i like it

[br14renteria]

It was ok

[AvenueEmpire]

Maybe they should have kept to the storyline better. At first I was expecting this to be a good film but they kept wondering off and taking short cuts. I doesnt bother me then Ransford was black but I mean he didnt even act like his character.

[97ALEx12x]

Thumbs up if you had to read this for English class!

[DJTinez13]

@97ALEx12x lol yeah we did ad the teacher made us watch this today -_-

[sanelrey]

teachers just give free time!!! don't put this boring movies

[dannyboylee]

@sanelrey Judging by your ability to write, you are a perfect example of why "free time" is not what students need.

[MiCHYw0rld]

oh please ya'll, he was 21

[THECHRISTRAIN]

It was a cool attempt and a good story man. It would have been cooler I think if you would have had the parts where he makes the other traps aswell and taken out the part where he has to cut his hand off. But hey at least some1 nutted up to make a movie about it

[rsharkmon]

once you go black, youll need to travel by boat to get back

[rsharkmon]

thumbs up if u noticed a wierd version of halo 3 theme song in the beging haha

[NardoWolfbart]

17:15 ha ha - antlered man. and your main guy needs to take an acting class.

[dannyboylee]

@NardoWolfbart My main guy is an acting teacher.

[MsCatLover13]

The story is a lot better than this verison it doesn't follow the way the story was written.

[Anazala95]

Thank you so much this video has helped me alot with my school work !!! :)

[NardoWolfbart]

@Anazala95 i hope you read the story too... it's alot different. you'll look like a complete dumb ass if you didn't

[OMGitsSCHNUCKUMS]

Why base it off the movie when the short story is easier to make and better told

[crabbe130]

Rainsford's name is in fact Sanger, not Robert. I find the differences interesting; I'm going to show this to my English class on Monday and see how they feel about the differences; some of them I feel are very effective (like actually getting to see the room with the dead people and General Zaroff's final words) and some I feel detract from the story's purpose--in this case mostly the inclusion of the wife, which I thought was odd. Overall very interesting.

[dannyboylee]

@crabbe130 Rainsford's name is Robert in the classic 1932 film by Merian C. Cooper. Clearly that was the inspiration behind my choice here.

[dustinengel1]

Love it!!

[lucashale9765]

this isnt at all like the story

[angelitamariajose97]

Please this movies is bs, where they in a low budget or something? cuz it sucks, i mean i know TEENs who can make a better movie than this whith a digital camara and in a backyard

[dannyboylee]

@angelitamariajose97 If you'd read the video description, you'd know that I made this movie in 2001, at the age of 21, for a video production class in college. The entire production cost $500.

[PoproxXOXO]

i was expecting something way better after reading the short story....i loved it in text. there is another version i think though. but its an "adaptation".

[Backpackturdz]

I'd rather read this out of a Textbook.

[bakednapkin]

wtf rainsford is black!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[dannyboylee]

@NinjaEpix This is why. Right here.

[zeron82411]

Why did he cut his hand? o.o

[theyXXcallXXmeXXkyle]

so i see the black guy... now where the fuck is rainsford

...am i the only one thinking he should be white

[zeron82411]

@theyXXcallXXmeXXkyle You are not alone.

[angelitamariajose97]

@theyXXcallXXmeXXkyle you are not alone

[dannyboylee]

@theyXXcallXXmeXXkyle You are not alone. There are lots of other idiots out there.

[LEGOZRULE]

@theyXXcallXXmeXXkyle In the story, Zaroff tells Rainsford specifically that one of the men that he is excited to hunt is a black. If I was talking to a black man in this situation, I would say "A man of your skin color" or something. Also, for the creator, Rainsford's first name is Sanger, if my memory serves me well, not Robert. Also, Zaroff is a general, not a count. Other than that, great movie. I enjoyed it. Great movie for such a small budget. I look forward to seeing more.

[dannyboylee]

@NinjaEpix See this? This is why.
