Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHaley Joel Osment was attacked by the pig during filming. The lion had numerous trainers and handlers, but no one thought the pig might be a menace.
- GoofsHub refers to lions as living in the jungle. Even though this is technically incorrect as they live in the Savanna, not the jungle, it is an understandable error because lions are commonly referred to as the "King of the Jungle".
- Quotes
Frankie: Hey, who do you think you are, huh?
Garth: Just a dumb kid, Hub. Don't kill him.
Hub: [to Garth] Right.
[grabs Frankie by the throat]
Hub: I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!
- Crazy creditsDuring the end credits, the adult Walter's cartoons depict a variety of adventures.
- Alternate versionsFor the UK cinema release, the distributors requested a PG certificate from the British Board Film Commission, and one-and-twenty seconds of footage were cut to remove shots of flick knives and violence. DVD releases were upgraded to a twelve certificate (equivalent to a PG-13 in the United States), and the cuts were reinstated.
