I once saw this with a group, and the scene where the sheriff goes to a drive-in theater floored all of us. It's one of the most unintentionally funny scenes I've ever seen.
@@notyou8716 Gunpoint? No, that's too extreme. Hired him without any second thoughts? Possible, it would make sense. Kelly got drunk and accidentally auditioned for a movie with killer bunnies that make the one from Monty Python and the Holy Grail unironically more intimidating.
The thing about this is there's a ton of good reasons not to shoot a rifle in a cave. Where they go wrong is "the whole place can come down", like it's a damn stick of dynamite.
What genius decided "you know... making bunnies look giant and putting red paint on their lips will make them scary as hell... lets make a movie about that!"
Another funny one, they did a great job here I can't help but think of Mike from red letter media doing the murdered bunny sound in that best of the worst hahaha
This movie was shown on ABC for some reason in the 80s and it really freaked me out lol..I still think the close up rabbit faces are freaky. And the ending bothered me, I guess I was a sensitive soul
Intro *Finally* ... Now Hoops McKenzie can go to Australia and his true vengeance on all of those cute and fuzzy bunnies.... But now, it appears these lepus are offspring of the killer rabbit of Caerbannog.... RUN AWAY!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure the origin story for this movie's existence was a drunken/high screenwriter who had one of those weird shower-thoughts in which he realized "Hey, 'lepus' and 'lupus' sound vary similar, but rabbits are small and cute while wolves are...Hey! Wait a minute!" And while such strokes of stupidity occasionally strike us all, our hero deided to take it to his actual professional colleagues who also happened to by drunk and/or high.
I think she asked herself the same thing, saying in an interview, "I've forgotten as much as I could about that picture." At least she was a victim in Psycho, one of the greatest films of all time made by the greatest director of suspense thrillers of all time. Better to be a victim in a Hitchcock movie than a piece of crap like this.
Sheriff: "Doctor, what have we got here, vampires?" Doctor: "Possibly." WHAT???
Did this debut on TV or at theaters? I remember when it came out but that's it. It was a long time ago.

"You're not really a doctor, are you?" 🤣
"They're like three talking banjos." XD I almost spit out my tea.
"Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a lepusologist! Lepus being the Latin word for rabbit."
How they roped DeForest Kelley into this movie I still don't understand.
@@Nightweaver1 It couldn't be money......
Lepus is also the genus comprised of hares and jackrabbits.

They roped Shatner into that spider movie. Now we only need to find a Nimoy in a killer chipmunk movie.
Fuse and become a mighty centaur!
JamesOhGoodie Damnit Jim I’m a doctor not a centaur
"They're gonna need a whole army of Fudds!"
All: Huhuhuhuhu
A whole army of Fudds....having their shotguns explode in their faces because those cheeky rabbits stick their fingers in the barrels.
I'm surprised nobody ever said "What's up, Doc!" But I suppose the Albuquerque reference will do. =)
"These look like they were made by a sabre-toothed tiger."
"Get out of my way! I'm the doctor here!"
"Make the store more specific while I'm gone!"
And learn how to wear a belt!!!
"Gah, you shot me in the dick!"

To be fair to whoever it was, they had the idea before Monty Python did...
10:17
"The Griswolds are here. We're saved!!"
"I'll bet my hair island on it"
Bones versus bunnies - I love it!
I watched this with my mom on Easter Sunday the year she died 1998.ive always searched for this movie since
I may be a year or two too late, but it's now available on DVD, blu-ray, and even Amazon's streaming services. Finding it is easier than ever.
Very sad the last film she watched was this ridiculous movie.
When I first saw this back as a kid (in the 80s) we only had a black and white tv. And up until a few years ago I thought it was black and white
My favorite is when the lepus shows its teeth. "I brushed my teeth" lol
3:52 I was waiting for a poltergeist reference 🤣🤣🤣. Servo always delivers...I mean Kevin
This film caused a global shortage of forced perspective.
and scale model sets
99% of this movie's budget was spent on expendable rabbits and red tempera paint.
And that 1% was spent on marijuana.
@@jeremyusreevu237 I support the 1% in this case.
"You're not really a doctor, are you?" No, I'm actually the janitor.
"Bad hare day??" Hahahahahahahahahahaha
To this very day...
...Mike has NEVER seen "Blue Thunder".
0:20 many, many, MANY animals were harmed in the making of this movie
Did the people who made the movie know that blood eventually, you know, dries and darkens to a deep red?
There's a lot of good eat'n there; you just need a 50 ft. Samwise Gamgee.
The newscaster at the beginning looks like a human Ken Brockman from the Simpsons.
4:54 Quint's rabbit-eating brother Floyd meets his deeply ironic end.
"Y'know, the thing about a rabbit, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes"
Nickel The Wise I
“Care to explain that hair of yours, son?”
@@Roadvirus1 An ice cream bunny certainly does.
It's a little thing, but I like that line at 10:45 "It's what they call a ghost town out here."
Don't they call it a ghost town everywhere on earth?
Doctor McCoy!
“I’m a doctor not a rabbit”
“Check out this turd shaped like a walrus” 😂
“It’s a phone but it’s in a car”
“Holy (bleep) those are some big (bleep) rabbits”
“Gah!, you shot me in the dick!” 😂
What do you know, both Dr. McCoy and Janet "Psycho" Leigh are in this movie.
Rory Calhoun, too.
none of these guys through but ill be able- son of a!
Well, this wasn't the worst movie Deforest Kelly was in.
Star Trek 5?
Spock: Doctor, you remind me of Elmer Fudd.
Bones: Hah, you and your logic, I'm huntin' wabbits!
"Bad hare day?"
I laughed! 🤣
The Griswold's are here were safe!
I’ve been watching for 30 seconds and I’m already dying 😂
holy @#$% those are some big @#$%en rabbits.
Night of the Dingus yes!
"Oh, Deloresss~
Another funny one, they did a great job here
I can't help but think of Mike from red letter media doing the murdered bunny sound in that best of the worst hahaha
"Lepus? Are you having a night of you in there?" had me laughing so much I farted
I need to figure out how to turn "GAH! Yah shot me in the dick!" into a ringtone XDD
0:21 The laughs are just beginning!
"Bad "hare" day?" LOL
They did not know how to wear belts back in the 1970s!
Be vewy , vewy quiet ,I,m hunting giant wabbits , Huhuhuhuhuhu !
Oliver from Harlem hes a bad dude
I love how fast the possibility of vampires was considered, probably because its more plausible than KILLER BUNNIES 🤣
8:23 I laughed so hard at that I actually cried
And then they celebrate with a week-long banquet, dubbed the [Town Name] Hassenpfestival!
Ah yes, the movie premise that was doomed to ridicule from the word "go".
"Make the store more specific while I'm gone." 😆😆😆😆😆
Why are all the shots of the rabbits in slow motion?
I believe it was when they watched Village of the Giants on MST3K that they said, "So slow-motion equals giant?" "I guess."
This movie was shown on ABC for some reason in the 80s and it really freaked me out lol..I still think the close up rabbit faces are freaky. And the ending bothered me, I guess I was a sensitive soul
"Somebody's looping me, make them stop!"
I'm guessing the cars used in this epic actually belonged to some of the actors. "Thanks for letting us use your camper Mr. Kelley".
"....awygh...ya shot me in the dick!.!.!.....
Rabbits have studied the WWE for years
I think that truck driver was the acting coach who taught Reb Brown how to scream.
I've never seen any low budget film 🎥 in 40+ years with so many similar Willihelm Screams 🤣.
This is like a PHL 101 "Philosophy of Video Arts 101" class project. "Make a horror movie about bunnies."
3:15 - i just heard the words "mountain lion!" i gotta get back to my house, and you better get to your car!
Intro
*Finally* ...
Now Hoops McKenzie can go to Australia and his true vengeance on all of those cute and fuzzy bunnies....
But now, it appears these lepus are offspring of the killer rabbit of Caerbannog....
RUN AWAY!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure the origin story for this movie's existence was a drunken/high screenwriter who had one of those weird shower-thoughts in which he realized "Hey, 'lepus' and 'lupus' sound vary similar, but rabbits are small and cute while wolves are...Hey! Wait a minute!"
And while such strokes of stupidity occasionally strike us all, our hero deided to take it to his actual professional colleagues who also happened to by drunk and/or high.
6:29 did they mirror the rim of the hole?
CARL?!? Oh wait gimme a sec
*Clears throat* CORAL!!!
When did rabbits become carnivores?
Jeffrey Riley Last night.
It's a rule. You can't become gigantic without becoming carnivorous...with humans being your primary prey, no less.
When they were charged with guarding the Cave of Caerbannog.
@@RichardX1 THAT'S how they should've resolved the story! A rocket propelled grenade launcher with an ammo belt of holy hand grenades!
Ever since these dolts thought to greenlight this movie.
Youre not really a doctor are you
2:50 Has to be my favorite!
I'm goin' wabbit huntin! - Elmer Fudd
2:42 Well if those rabbits are so dead then why was one of them kicking.
Two Enterprise Doctors one Movie (DeForest Kelley and Paul Fix)
It's just close ups of rabbits covered in ketchup and on miniature sets with growl noises. How is this supposed to be scary?
“How is this supposed to be scary?” was the movie’s tagline.
Cotton Tush No!!!
I never realized how much McCoy looks like Ron Swanson
PMSL that was good x
DIDN'T ANYONE IN THIS FILM CONSIDER CALLING ELMER FUDD?!?
His track record isn't encouraging
Cotton Tush!!! 🐰
Bunnies!
6:15 Vertical Shaft!
"OOOH, YOU SHOT ME IN THE DICK!"
problem is Jack seemed to be a little too into it lol!!
What's a Lepus? They didn't make it clear in the movie.
I don’t know, maybe coyotes?
Rabbits.
Yahhh, ya’ shot me in the dick!!! Lmfao!
The sequel was Night of the Cricetinae.
Id bet my hair island! 🏝
Be vewy, vewy quiet. We're hunting for victims. Ha-a-a-a-a-a-a!
5:49 You're high aren't you
Jump jump lol
Anybody get the Megaweapon throwback line? :)
Where?
6:17 "But it's one baaaad mother..." "Shut yo' mouth!" "But I'm just talkin' about closed vertical shaft!"
Would this film be scarier if the rabbits were giant ladybugs lol
I THOUGHT That was the Girl from Poltergeist!
Fun fact: rabbits do not like carrots.
5:08 Whoever killed this man just rabbited.
1:14 Ron Swanson? XD
WTF is Janet Leigh doing in this?
It was the movie director's apology to her for being relegated to playing a victim in Psycho.
And WTF is Deforrest Kelley doing here?
I think she asked herself the same thing, saying in an interview, "I've forgotten as much as I could about that picture." At least she was a victim in Psycho, one of the greatest films of all time made by the greatest director of suspense thrillers of all time. Better to be a victim in a Hitchcock movie than a piece of crap like this.

Bad HARE Day?!?
