Stanley is a tale of a guy who trains snakes to do his dirty work. Much like Willard minus the rats. A friend found me this one in a dollar store. Pure obsure lousy film bliss awaits those who can find it.

Oddly, I think that "Willard" was a much better film. What I remember of "Stanley" was that they kept harping on how bad it would be for certain people if one guy had a rattlesnake guardian angel. Good point on the human acting when the first billed character is an animal. Still, you have to admit that if they made a Lassie film, but replaced the dog with a python or alligator, it could be interesting. Especially if the antagonist element turned out to be a pack of wild dogs.

I like the way you think. Better yet, what if it was a supergroup of wild dogs with the likes of Rin Tin Tin & Benji at the helm.

Well, there was that WILLARD sequel BEN. No heroic gators, but a friendly, sympathetic rat.
I think some white dude sang the title song.
There were a couple of 70's movies featuring "The Amazing Doberman Gang" about a pack of Doberman Pinschers trained to rob banks and mug for the camera.
This seemed like as good a place as any to mention that. :smile:

The "EXCITING FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT!" included some sex, nudity, bloody dog attacks, drugs, etc.
Heh, Stanley's committed a lot of murders in cinema history hasn't he? :smile:

The films seems more a tribute to JENNIFER than Willard, seeing as they share the same animal they have a creepy hold over, but then Jennifer is more like Carrie and all...
