    This is till one of my all-time-fav's of all time. The Cast is incredible and i just love John Wayne and Hardy Krueger. I love the setting for this in Africa about animal "hunters". They hunt to sell the animals to Zoo's all over the world. Intersting how they caught the poor ani...( read more)mals back in the day, very stressful for the catcher and the prey. The stories surrounding this setting are heartwarming and funny. This one is still after all these years worth every minute and I still laugh at all the funny parts. I love it!!

    Good extended character bits make this watchable to this day.

    Solid Howard Hawks comedy/adventure. Extra points for catching all of the monkeys with a rocket.

    This movie is where "Baby Elephant Walk" by Mancini first appeared

    Maybe it's the unbelievably patronising and racist attitude towards the locals. Maybe it's the fact that the whole experience revolves around cruelty to/butchery of animals. Maybe it's the f***witted machismo and misogyny of the entire genre. But I f***ing HATE safari films...

    This movie is hilarious. But there is some action and romance thrown in to balance it. If you haven't seen I would recommend it. It is a very good for kids as well as adults.
