I was watching an old James bond flick the other week, and it's been bugging me ever since. So I decided to make a list (just for fun, I'm not banning these movies or getting tiffy, I just find it interesting) of movies and video games that are sorta fish-unfriendly....


1. Dr. No- Dr. No fights two bettas to the death, the loser becomes a kitty snack. Also, I think it was Tuna with laser beams attached to their heads?

2. The Punisher Gamer - (could be in the movie too, I didn't get to see the whole thing :-( ) Shoot-out at a zoo, exploding fishtanks. Although they get points for extremely cool use of Moray eel and pirhanas (sp?) as interrogation tools.... :shifty:

3. Deuce Bigalo- Major points for fish friendliness, but then a fish gets it with a blender... :crazy:

4. Naked Gun (forget which one :*) )- Goldfish in a tiny bowl gets boiled alive at one of those 'watch it cook' type resturants...

5. The Little Mermaid- Sabastion gets chased around by an angry cook with a sharp knife... Lol, am I the only one who finds almost ALL Disney movies disturbing?


It's late, and that's all I can think of for now, but please, keep them coming!! I find it funny how often fish are treated in movies in ways people wouldn't be quite so keen to laugh at if it were perhaps a cat or dog... but hey, they're just movies.. so don't freak!


Except for Disney, they're just evil.... :shifty:
 
Hmm, let me think.......... Aside from that Nemo one, can't think of any...
 
Austin Powers- Dr Evil has angry mullets with "frecking" laser beams on there head, not really cruel to the fish but hey...

I noticed lots of childrens shows also have green goldfish tanks and bowls.

"I'm a celeb get me out of here" - they had 2-3 big fancy goldfish in a tiny bowl. also in there they realised eels and such like onto contestants heads which then fell into a muddy puddy from 8ft.

can't remember what it's called but it's about a tank cleaner which looks after a guys house with a huge marine set up and the owner always taps the glass. then the tank gets smashed with all the fish on the floor, a lion fish was put in a blender then someone turned it on. then at the end when the tank was replaced and back to normal the owner tapped the glass and all the fish were over the floor again.

thats all i can think of for now.
 
American Dad, the cartoon show has a secondary character that's a talking goldfish in a little bowl.

I think the tank in Monty Python's "Meaning of Life" was overstocked, too... and the fat guy ate one of them ...

In Out of Sight (George Clooney, Jennifer Slopez) there's an inmate who gets brought some fish in a bag by Don Cheadle's character, in return for something. Long story short, Cheadle opens the bag, and crushes it in his fist.

It looked quite realistic
 
:no: Or that guy that swallows like 2 goldfish and then pukes them back up. He says they only have a 5-second memory, so they don't even feel it. I call BS on that on.
 
Paul, that was Deuce Bigalo, the guy who plays the tank owner is also the guy who was the leader of the Magi in the Mummy movies.... :*) Movie freak here....

Thank God, I'm not the only one who sees how evil Disney is!!!


Darla... ehhhhh!!! It's funny though, because I watched that recently and when Nemo was fisrt put in the tank I thought 'Dude, first he's from the ocean, are you sure you don't want to quarentine? and are those fish compatible?'

There seems to be a recurring fish theme for James Bond though, You only live twice has an indoor pond of man-eating pirahanas, and I forget which one has Bond and some chick tied together and being dragged behind a boat as a giant fishing lure for sharks...

Cat in the Hat had that goldfish being tossed all around in his bowl, of course, if I was always in that bowl I would go crazy and start talking in rhyme too... shoot, I already do...
