"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
The Jungle Book | 1994 | PG | - 1.3.1
An adult, live-action version of Rudyard Kipling's classic.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - The main character is seen in a loin cloth in a few scenes. But, he soon finds princely robes in a secret stash in the jungle and immediately puts them on.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - About six dead bodies are shown. Some are shot and two are mauled by a tiger. A man sinks in quicksand, while another is buried alive inside a crypt. A woman is kidnapped and her father is shot. We do see some blood in one of the mauling scenes and when a character is shot in the arm. A bear is also shot and bleeds a little.
LANGUAGE 1 - Occasional mild cursing.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Kidnapping, disregard for animal life, greed.
MESSAGE - One must keep the law of the jungle: Kill only to eat or to keep from being eaten. All other killing is unjust.
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.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - 5.7.5
Abigail - 1.9.10
Sasquatch Sunset - 8.7.0
Sting - 1.7.7
