The Most Dangerous Game - Movie Review |
|
A cabin cruiser is shipwrecked off the coast of a remote island, and its three passengers manage to reach the island safely. The island is owned by a strange and enigmatic count who invites them to stay. But he has an underlying motive for his apparent generosity: Count Zaroff enjoys hunting - and he only hunts the most dangerous game - humans! The Most Dangerous Game is a 1932 adaptation of the 1924 short story of the same name by Richard Connell, the first of many official and unofficial screen versions of that story. The plot concerns a big game hunter on an island who chooses to hunt humans for sport. Luring unwary victims to his remote island, Zaroff wines and dines them, gives them a few hours' head start to run into the jungle, then hunts them down with rifle and bow and arrow. As his grisly trophy room demonstrates, Zaroff hasn't missed yet.

The Most Dangerous Game Trivia - Did You Know?Buster Crabbe, who later played both Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, has a small stunt part as a sailor who falls off the boat when it is sinking. Most of the standing sets from King Kong (1933) were used in the making of this film, including the King Kong (1933) gate (which was eventually burned down in the "Burning of Atlanta" sequence of Gone with the Wind (1939)). This film and "King Kong" were shot at the same time, though "Kong" was released later.
