Weird animal tricks.

[Flangepart]

At the end of "Beast of Yucca Flats", as the beast is laying there, supposedly dead....a bunny comes up, and lets Tor plays with it.
Did i hear right....that was that unplanned?. Maby Tor was just a big, huge St. Francis of Assisi....
So.....
What weird animal scene do you remember in a movie. Real animals, real people, real animal people even.

"Time for go 'ta bed!"

In "Last Action Hero" the bad guy has this group of dobermans, and just to impress Arnie he snaps his fingers, and they have formed a pyramid. Crazy, crazy movie, but moments like this make it worth a rental.

What about the dobermans in Remo Willams? Those dogs were just way too smart for their own good. I mean tight rope walking?

[Ash]

Arnold slams two dobermans' heads together in True Lies!

[JohnL]

The end of Beethoven, the little dog comes running in and jumps teeth-first into the bad guy's crotch.

[BlackAngel]

On the dobermans, how about Low Down Shame, where one of the Wayans (Keenan, I think) had to sing James Brown to the dogs to stop from chasing him.  I may be wrong, it's been a while since I seen it.  (All the dog on the left go: "arf, arf")

Or the movie Mask where that little dog had to jump to a jail cell window ( I don't know how high up was that), steal jail keys, and later unlock and open a car door (smart dog).

Bulls**t, I still can't hear you, sound off like you got a pair.

Hmmm, my vote goes to Crocodile. The crocodile kills two fisherman and then pushes their car off a cliff into deep water. Now that is a better conceived plan than most killers  I have seen come up with..

The strangest animal trick I ever saw in a movie was when intelligent roaches spelled messages across the wall with their bodies...

I wish I could remember what the movie was called (I saw it on Commander USA so many years ago). A scientist working with a super-deep drilling experiment finds a hitherto-undiscovered species of insect living miles under the Earth's surface (that look suspiciously like large roaches). All of his specimens soon die because they need much higher pressures to live than we find on the surface, so he keeps his last one alive in a pressurized diver's helmet in his apartment.

It manages to mate with a regular roach, and their offspring are super-intelligent roaches that can start fires with their abdomens. They conduct conversations with the scientist by spelling messages to him across the walls of his apartment with their arranged bodies (my favorite was something like "WE LIVE") as the scientist slowly looses his mind.

Oh, and they go on a killing spree if memory serves. While this probably sounds like a comedy movie, it was actually a serious horror film.

Hey, I remember this one too.  And whatever happened to Commander USA anyway?  Spokesman for Groovy Man dinners, if I recall . . . .
And while we're on the subject (sorta) does anybody remember Bob Wilkins, host of Creature Features out of the Bay Area in California in the  70s?  It was on this late night horror show that I first saw Night of the Living Dead, one of my fondest memories of early cable.

What, I get to identify a film before anyone else!  Wake up, chaps!

I think the film in question is "Bug", starring Bradford Dillman as the scientist in question.  Taken from a novel IIRC called "The Hephaestus Plague".  One unkind critic said they didn't call it "Bugs" because that might confuse audiences, who would expect to see a laughable film featuring a rabbit.  Well, there wasn't a rabbit ...

on the topic of cockroaches, good ol' 'Joe's Apartment' is an extra silly movie with talking [and singing] cockroaches.  it starred jerry odonnell [i use the word 'starred' loosely] and was extremely dodgy, yet strangely appealing.

just listening to the roaches funk it up was good enough for me

Joe's Apartment : A guilty pleasure!
"I vote we keep him!"
"He don't bathe, he don't wash, he's the worst freakin slob on the planet...i think i'm in love."
