Title: Night of the Lepus Post by: Andrew on April 10, 2006, 07:16:48 PM Just in time for Easter, a movie about man (and woman) - eating giant rabbits!
Night of the Lepus Review (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/nightlepus/) Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: raj on April 10, 2006, 07:32:53 PM And speaking of giant rabbits:
http://tinyurl.com/hrwjd I don't know if it's a fake or not, but that's one big bunny. Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: daveblackeye15 on April 10, 2006, 08:20:14 PM I laughed that you called the horde leader "Rabbit Rommel"
Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: The Burgomaster on April 10, 2006, 08:32:31 PM I bought this DVD several months ago . . . no collection is complete without it!
Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: Scott on April 11, 2006, 12:04:40 AM Only saw parts of this one in the 70's. Those are some frightful images for sure. Will keep a look out for it. NIGHT OF THE LEPUS belongs right next to FOOD OF THE GODS.

Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: plan9superfan on April 11, 2006, 05:21:23 AM Did you knoew DeForest Kelley was named as one of the Worst Actors Ever for his perfomance in "Night of the Lepus"?
Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: Dr. Whom on April 11, 2006, 06:14:34 AM I think I raised the point before. At one time, some rabbits are shot through the floor by people hiding in the cellar. I always thought they gave very convincing yelps and I didn't think I saw a notice with 'no rabbits were hurt in the making of the movie'. Did someone really shoot at them?
Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: plan9superfan on April 11, 2006, 06:51:56 AM Rabbits are edible.
And guess what? When you eat rabbit stew, the rabbit didn't die of natural causes. Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: trekgeezer on April 11, 2006, 07:19:19 AM Here's a plan for the sequel. After the rabbits are roasted and destroyed someone comes up with a plan to feed all that rabbit meat to the homeless and with what is bound to happen in a B horror film the homeless that eat the meat are gradually transformed into a mob of cannabalistic human/rabbit hybrid zombies.
Only what would the title be? Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: Dr. Whom on April 11, 2006, 08:14:38 AM Night of the Hopping Horror!!!
Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: plan9superfan on April 11, 2006, 08:56:42 AM ...and then Nick Park and Steve Box would sue your ass for plagiarizing their movie.

Oh, Lord...yesss! The cheese flows like wine in this cracker filled collage of corn!...you can tell i'm writeing this at lunch time, right? The bunnys...the bunnys!...growling bunnys! Let the riffing begin! Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: Just Plain Horse on April 11, 2006, 09:57:55 AM Lepus is just one of those, how shall I put it... essential B-movies. In my mind, a B movie website cannot truly take itself "seriously" (oxymoron) until it has this film in its ranks. Killer Shrews, one lowbudget Bela Lugosi movie/Tor Johnson movie, one giant bug movie, and Night of the Lepus. Billy Jack films earns you extra points though :)
Also, if there's a sequel to be made, the rabbits ought to go up against something like either the Giant Claw or Python. Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on April 11, 2006, 10:55:00 AM "Lepus is just one of those, how shall I put it... essential B-movies."
Very true, I love this movie. Anything with giant animals is OK by me and this is a joy to watch, -Ed Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: peter johnson on April 11, 2006, 10:37:00 PM What a joyful picture -- As I've said before, my favorite part is where the charging giant bunnies step on their own floppy ears whilst charging through the tunnels --
And, yes, raj, that's a real giant bunny -- a Continental Giant, in fact. And that's not even as big as they can REALLY get! Only deal is, Continental Giants are really quite docile and tame, and not at all good candidates for monster killer horror rabbits -- peter johnson/denny crane Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: plan9superfan on April 12, 2006, 04:32:28 AM That's because rabbits eat carrots, not people.
Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: raj on April 12, 2006, 01:59:42 PM Well, you genetically modify the carrots to be disease resistant and bigger, these rabbits eat those carrots, and boom you've got a Scf-Fi movie of the week.
Starring Bruce Boxleitner and Carol Alt. . .with special appearnace by John Rhys-Davies . . . Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: Fearless Freep on April 12, 2006, 08:58:47 PM Does John Rhys-Davies just troll the back lots of the sci-fi channel studios looking for a movie shoot to hop into for a few scenes?
Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: BoyScoutKevin on April 13, 2006, 07:29:24 PM And it tastes like chicken. I kid you not. When I was with a tour group back in the '70's, staying at a hotel in Dublin, Ireland, they served us something that I thought was chicken. I later found out, it was not chicken, but bunny. Hopefully, none of the bunnies who appeared in the film.

I say they land a C-5 there and cart all the carcasses somewhere that people are starving. Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: Flangepart on April 14, 2006, 11:56:52 AM Irish Rabbit stew. That just sounds so...right. No, i don't know why...
If giant rabbits stayed vegie eaters, could you train one to wear a saddle? HI-YO FLOPSIE, A-WAYYYY! Title: Re: Night of the Lepus Post by: plan9superfan on April 15, 2006, 05:20:03 AM As Roberto Fontanarrosa once said, "You know how big farm animals can get if you don't eat them..."
