"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Fierce Creatures | 1997 | PG-13 | - 4.4.5

The stars of "A Fish Called Wanda" are back again and this time they are running a zoo.

SEX/NUDITY 4 - Lots of sexual innuendo (with implied bestiality and orgies). A woman is often seen in cleavage-revealing outfits and short, tight dresses. Kissing, sometimes passionate. A man undresses but we only see his bare back, a couple of times a man is stripped to his boxers and a woman is seen in her bra and panties. A man puts his hand on a woman's clothed breasts.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Mostly played for laughs: people put fake blood on their bodies to fake animal bites. Men struggle for a gun, a man is shot in the head (some blood) and a man pokes his finger in the wound and tastes it to see if it's fake. A man is nearly stabbed with a knife and the assailant accidentally stabs himself in the leg instead. A woman falls and there is blood on her leg (a man again tastes the blood). A man is hit with a purse. People are punched in a few scenes (primarily in the abdomen). A corpse is hit a couple of times.

LANGUAGE 5 - One F-word, a scatological reference, some mild obscenities, some anatomical references, a few British obscenities.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Zoos and wild animals, greed, father/son relationships.

MESSAGE - Some things are better left unchanged.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
