Wild Thing (1987) part 1 of 7

Directed by Max Reid, screenplay by John Sayles, and story by Larry Stamper. This great "urban Tarzan" film (with a heroine aptly named Jane) was never transferred to DVD, and VHS copies are getting harder to find.

Due to a copyright claim, the first two minutes of the film, which contain a long and almost uninterrupted segment of Jefferson Airplane's massive 60's track, _White Rabbit_, have been muted. The few pieces of dialogue that it contains have been preserved.

Cast:

Robert Knepper as Wild Thing
Kathleen Quinlan as Jane
Robert Davi as Chopper
Maury Chaykin as Jonathan Trask
Betty Buckley as Leah
Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge as Wild Thing (10 years old)
Clark Johnson as Winston
Sean Hewitt as Father Quinn
Teddy Abner as Rasheed
Cree Summer as Lisa
Shawn Levy as Paul

YO SON I BEEN LOOKIN FOR THIS MOVIE ITS CRAZY I AINT SEEN THIS SINCE I WAS LIKE 5 GOOD SHIT

@therealtrakformerz No problem, glad you like, I'm sorry about the missing music at the beginning and the washed-out blacks, both of which I intend to fix at some point.

There was no way to avoid it this time around. When I re-rip the video to get rid of the terrible black saturation, I might choose to fix this section by pasting over the nearly-identical version of White Rabbit that Jefferson Airplane sang live and which is on YouTube. That recording shouldn't trigger the copyright flags.

@DJSkyede Great movie, but this kid would be so sick and malnourished in real life.

@DJSkyede Yeah Finally!!! 80's Forever!!! Hey what was that 80's horror with a guy that grew bat wings?

@clg7771 There are a lot of famous songs in the soundtrack. The original music was composed by George S. Clinton. The song "Wild Thing" was composed and performed by The Troggs. The opening track "White Rabbit" was composed and performed by Jefferson Airplane. Unfortunately, I had to mute over it due to copyright restrictions imposed by YouTube.

@TheJazzSwings ..........are you stupid?

@clg7771 your probably just some over dramatic 16 year old who needs to get her priorities straight. Go listen to some good songs, like "todo" by africa.
