Did nobody care about the cow and the bear?


The poor cow got eaten by the crocodile and it was well graphic, it actually made me upset!
And the bear got eaten too =[!
It was well unessecary... the movie in itself was well crap.
there is no such thing as a 30ft crocodile and if there was it wouldn't live in a lake!

not really, I thought the scene were the cow got munched was amusing. I sorta jumped when the bear got munched in the movie when I saw it in theaters when I was 9.

I hit enough bears with my car every year. I believe the croc was doing me a favor. *chuckles*

Hi Kimzy,

I also don't like seeing animals hurt in any form BUT you can clearly see that this particular cow was not real!! You even see the picture frame jump from when the cow goes up in the air, to when the croc eats it. Towards the end, when they used the cow as bait, it was kinda funny but I also felt sorry for the cow because you could see it drooling and I wonder if it was under some stress. However, if you study the end credits, you see loads and loads of stunt people who have made the picture posible.

As for the bear, I confess it did look real to me and maybe it was BUT this is what happens in real life.

In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed the film and thought it very funny with the many funny asides being made. The film came on TV a couple of weeks ago and I'd never seen it before. I liked it so much I taped it and made a backup copy. I put it under comedy category because it wasn't exactly a horror movie, was it?

It was so sad, especially the cow... :(

I agree completely! Oh, that poor bear, and oh, that poor cow! OK, so a scuba diver got bitten in half, and a deputy got his head bitten off, but man that cow! And do you realize how many cockroaches were killed in the filming of Men In Black? How long are we going to sit idly by and watch this sort of thing going on?

"Yeah, well, that'll be your little secret."

I was a kid (about 9 years old) when I first saw this and I thought the bear scene was awesome! I mean, a CROCODILE killing a BEAR?! That just blew my mind. If there's one person I felt for, it was the diver in the beginning of the movie; that s*** must have sucked hard.

how is killing animal is worse than killing a human?
