Just what this movie didn't need. Those bloody Kangaroos looked terrible. Scene ruined the whole film for me. Should have left it right out.
shareI watched it last night and thought it was cool. You know cgi bashing is getting old. So did you do the same bashing with 99% of the old monster flicks.
So glad they didn't use real Roos. However you'd still complain.
It reminded me of Jumanji, and not in a good way.
Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman. Especially one who's interested in you.
I completely agree with the OP. It was really stupid and served no purpose except unintentional humor.
sharewatching it for the first time I think it was to show that not even animals are safe from Mick Taylor, as well as how sadistic he is because if anyone else hit one kangaroo, they'd be like "Oh sh*t", but Mick was like "Oops", "oops again", "sorry Skippy" every time he hit one.
shareIt was very (obviously) intentional humour.

There was also bad practical effects but it happens
shareI think practical effects, when done well, tend to look better. But that's not always the case. The dinosaurs in those Jurrasic Park movies looked more convincing than any of the stop motion creatures I'd seen (all due respect to Ray Harryhausen).

a lot of the dinosaur stuff in Jurassic Park was practical - very few shots were fully CGI - they used animatronic puppets & models & then used digital models to animate them above what was physically possible, but even though the movement was digitally manipulated, the image was practical. that's why it looked so good. except for the 1st dinosaur shot - which does look pretty good still. & like you said, a far cry better than stop motion dinosaur clay puppets.
shareThey looked fine to me. I've seen much worse CGI from much higher budget productions.
If this one little scene ruined the whole film for you, you must not have really liked the film in general.

Wow yet another post from the pseudo-discerning yapping on about how legit they are for disliking CGI. Also if an innocuous thing like CGI in 40 second scene can ruin a film for you, you're an idiot
shareLol its funny you pick up on tht and not the ridiculous opening scene where he follows the cops and whilst driving still manages to shoot the young cop in the back of the head with a perfect shot! And to make it worse his whole head seems to explode! Tht was almost as laughable as the kangaroo scene (i turned the film off at tht point)!
share"sorry, Skippy!"
