Savage Harvest (1981)

I watched this movie when I was 8 yr old kid and again had an opportunity to see in recent times.Still one of my best movies ever watched.Really a great camera work with taking into account 15/20 lions a truly thrilling direction.Audience need to see this movie in realistic perspective rather then finding too much logical conclusion.Overall it entertains for all age group.Though it was weak acting link to it.All attention goes on Lions and lion how they attack they kill each other, desperate to get their share of food.The ending was really good compared to the beginning.Breath taking sequences.Moving grips right from the beginning.There have been lot of movies on lions such as Ghost and the darkness,prey etc but this movies stands way ahead from other movies.

I have not seen this movie since I was a kid - but I would really love to own it on DVD. Anyone know where or how I can purchase it? It is a great movie - from what I remember - as I said it has been a long time - from what I do remember the acting was great as well as the lions. There is a lot of what I don't remember - was it based on a true story? Why did the lions show up in the first place? I know of the ending - I think - but I'm not going to give that away. The director was in the film - but I am not sure what role he played. I remember a tennis player - other than that - I remember the lions surrounding the house and raiding the kitchen. I don't remember how many people were in the house - I think there was a lot but I'm not sure. Anyway I would like to own it plus buy another copy for my sister and a third for a good friend of mine who likes these kinds of movies.

I have been looking for a copy of this movie since I saw it several times during a cable-TV run.As is often the case I didn't know I wanted a copy until years had passed and I have been unable to view it or own it. I want to watch it with my grandchildren;to add it to the list of things I want them to know while I am still able to play the part of wise old grandad.I have enjoyed repeating one of the lines:" Mem-Saab said stay inside" to my sons who have seen the movie,as "We don't need no stinking Batches"et al.The movie I am sure will not disappoint my 'students" if I can obtain a copy and herd them into a viewing mood and room.The lion, victim interaction beats any other frightening movie of which animals are a prominent feature earthly or unearthly .

I taped this movie years ago and wondered at the time how the lion scenes were produced. I watched it again today and am still perplexed. Was this filmed in Africa or in the US with circus lions? There was another film, "The Gods Must Be Crazy II" in which lions played a significant role. I'd like explanations.
