Hatari! (2001, DVD)

I've loved this movie since I was little. Now my son enjoys it too! It's full of lots of different animals, and you learn about the culture of the real life tribes in Africa. It's a movie the whole family can enjoy and learn from. I like the fact that it has a little bit of everything...from fun, comedy, romance, and action. A must have for your DVD collection!!!

Hatari is swahili for DANGER~
John Wayne has a group of Professional Game Hunters (Animal Wranglers) who help capture animals for Zoos. The fun is the way they do it~ John Wayne as the MOODY "boss" ADD Red Buttons who has many fun schemes that work but not always well to creatively capture animals along with Hardy Kruger and the LOVELY ELSA MARTINELLI. As the photographer who NO one wants there but ends up STAYING against their wishes to do an article on the group~ she is smart and funny and makes the GRUMPY Wayne see what a beauty she is~ ADD the great theme by Henry Mancini "Baby Elephant Walk"~ The fun part is where a HERD of baby orphaned elephants chases the girl down (Elsa) all over the town~ very cute and funny~

silly no real plot~ WE love Wayne~ he never disappoints~ fun comedy relief from Red Buttons and Elsa who we have not seen much since is the girl that "captures" HER man~

I GIVE IT A SOLID 7 OUT OF 10 FOR ADVENTURE AND GREAT FUN~

Hatari is one of the better comedy everyone in is terrific and the scenery is
just great. The film is enjoyable from the beginnings to the end.

A rather different role for the "Duke", John Wayne but he pulls it off well playing a big game hunter in Africa. Film ia well done while on location in Africa. I give it 4 1/2 stars.

Oh gosh what can i say about this movie,but it's the greatest this one of my fave's,it's just one of those movie that you can sit back and really enjoy,not much more to say but AWSOME!.

I actually bought this for a very special friend, who happens to really enjoy watching this movie over and over again.

This is a great John Wayne movie, set in Africa the scenery is awesome and so is the action. If you like John Wayne and are looking for something a little different then this movie is for you.
The movie is about a group of rugged men living in Africa catching animals for zoos in the states. The chase scenes are real, the stunts are done by the actors themselves and photography is great. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a break in the traditional John Wayne western genre.

Not "classic" John Wayne (a shoot 'em up Western), but a classic that we love. Have probably watched it 20 times and we never tire of it.

The Mancini score has some of the most dramatic and beautiful music I've enjoyed in any movie. Some schmoozy jazz numbers are great, but I particularly enjoy the Theme and Sounds of Hatari numbers. But the real attraction comes from the beauty of the African scenery and the delightful, if totally predictable romances that make such fare so watchable. Throw in the fact that it's a John Wayne non-western and the Red Buttons humor, and it's a movie worth spending time on.

I've always enjoyed "The Duke's" movies. This is one of my favorites, and believe it or not, one that my parents (also fans of "The Duke") had not yet seen. So I actually purchased 2 separate copies, 1 for myself, and the other was an anniversary gift for my parents. They very much enjoyed the movie as much as I do. And now that I have my own copy, I can watch it whenever I want.
It's really a great movie.

I paid for this item on 5/30/07 with the DVD Big Jake. I receivecd an e-mail from the seller that both were shipped 6/1/07. I requested info on tracking when I didn't receive in 5 days. They finally responded w/ a new ship date & I did receive this one in a reasonable time. I don't think the buyer should have to request the items to be shipped. I paid right after I won the auction, but have yet to receive all the items. Probably won't buy from this seller again.

I AM A JOHN WAYNE FAN AND AM WORKING TO COLLECT AS MANY AS I CAN AFFORD.
THE DVD WAS AS I EXPECTED. THE AUDIO AND VIDEO WERE GOOD.
THE DVD ARRIVE IN AN ACCEPTABLE PERIOD OF TIME.

I remembered watching this movie as a kid with the whole family.
it was something that we did as a family and my mom was a big fan of the Duke

This is great John Wayne film. It features wonderful action of the capture of wild african animals for exhibit in zoos. The danger of trying to capture a Rhino. Good chance to see the DUKE in a roll which is not war or cowboy related.
Animal lovers may not like do to underlying theme.

DVD was brand new and in excellent condition, as promised.
Shipping done in a very timely manner.
I was a little surprized that there were no inserts inside, but Hatari is one of my favorite John Wayne movies and overall I was very pleased.

I bought this for my husband who has searched high and low for this DVD for quite some time now. It was shipped quickly and with good communication

This is one of my favorites of John Wayne's. I bought it as I am rebuilding my library lost in Hurricane Rita. I have to have John Wayne on hand.

File a claim and have not hear anything about it, Can not contact the seller, Because he or she is not a ebayer anymore. Was charged for the item and didn't recieve it.

I BOUGHT HATARI FOR ME AND MY SON. WE ARE BOTH JOHN WAYNE FANS. IT WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHIPPED WONDERFULLY. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS SELECTION. UNLIKE THE JUNGLE BOOK I BOUGHT ON JULY 7,2006 THAT I NEVER RECEIVED BUT THE SELLER CASHED MY CHECK AND GOT AWAY WITH ROBBING ME. SO BUT I WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN FROM EBAY. BECAUSE I WAS LET DOWN BY EBAY AND THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.

John Wayne is collecting animals in Africa for Zoos in the USA. The scenic beauty of the areas, the animals in their native habitat alone make it a film worth seeing. But there's a story and a love interest that works out exceedingly well.
A young woman joins the group and find some baby elephants to care for, and soon she has several. The elephants follow her everywhere and are some of the best comedians you ever saw.
When the woman falls in love with John Wayne and he rebuffs her, she can't leave the country because these little elephants follow her everywhere and John rescues her from escaping and professes his love after all.
It's a blockbuster movie with everything going for it.
To me, it's a "must see."

I am a John Wayne fan and really like his movies those especially when directed by John Ford and are western's. Hatari wasn't one of John Wayne's better movies as I thought the script was weak with to much smoking, drinking, and swearing which I am not fond of. I like him in the western movies best and I am trying to collect as many of the good one's as I can. But Hatari does show some very exciting scenes and some beautiful scenery as well of Africa. He also had some pretty good support actors.

I just bought this as a gift for an elderly friend of our family who had asked me to be on the lookout for it. I, of course, searched on ebay and found tons. He's been very pleased and excited with the movie!
