THE NAKED PREY

[TheSwisslad]

I saw this film when I was a child. I am disturbed by Africans to this day.

In this film the worst moment is when an African from another tribe is coated in clay and roasted on a fire. As the clay hardens and he begins to roast I distinctly remember the unfortunate appearing to emmit a sustained high pitched scream.

My Grandfather tried to console me by insisting it wasnt a scream,merely steam escaping from his mouth pipe "like a kettle boiling"!

Dreadful savages! Why do we continue to fund their grotesque governments?

Brazil,was ,and continues to be the "master" slave nation.Let them "work" with the black man.

One of my face ever movies, thanks a million

[pparrokkaant]

If only all poachers and hunters ended up like that!

[thorgray]

One more thing mybe the actor wolverine from the x-men movies would be better than the dude from the Dark Knight

[thorgray]

I think Mel Gibson should remake this movie. All he needs to do is go to africa and pull out some of those scary looking zulu warriors and the dude from The Dark Knight and he;s got himself a cast either that or Remake Shaka Zulu

[Redshift313]

Mel Gibson already remade this movie... it's called Apocolypto !!!

[theachtungtree]

@thorgray mel should do a remake of shindlers list...he would be like Amon Göth, it totally fits, lol

[luvumo2day]

this tale is more powerfull today then evah before.why! yes we can.arm yourselves now

[utubesucks2003]

Google Roger Ebert's review of this film. I have to say I almost never change my mind about a film unless it's a deep thematic analysis...but he makes some really good points. I still think it's made very well and will watch it over and over, but that review is a must-read.

@utubesucks2003 Thanks for the tip. Yes he does have some good points, but he ignores some evidence within the film which make the whole thing more believable. Wilde plays a safari guide who later wishes to retire to "his farm", no "civilized" softy straight of the boat. Wilde himself is clearly fit and strong, and his background in fencing is visable in the fight scenes. Yes the character may have run long distance at Rugby, or boxed, people did that sort of thing in the day.

[raysteer]

@utubesucks2003 Ebert is right about the slouchy spear throwing, but that's film, the story must go on, though it's true that some sort of non-lethal wound would have added to it........I tend to think that as a professional pen-pusher Ebert can't imagine people from his own culture being fit/ tough/ handy enough to pull it off, aswell as ignoring the fact that it is based on a true story (allbeit about an American outdoorsman) No attack on you, just a Sunday morning rant ! (:

I was fortunate enough to catch a showing of this on local broadcast television in the mid-90s, and have managed to see it a couple times since (sadly, I lost the VHS copy I made of it). As a person born in 1970, I will say this is definitely one of the very best movies made before my birth.

[shampoovta]

I was thinking about this movie days after I saw it.

[manyflga]

A fanastic movie

[gotts21]

"Africa, land of aboriginal tortures."

... among other things.

Watch this movie.

[alleespach]

A classic if there ever was one.

[PhillipCreeper]

A great movie. See if if you haven't see it. It was underated when first released.

[Mality]

Brilliant movie...one of the best tales of survival ever filmed. Gritty and merciless, with no sentiment.
