How To Upset PETA, The Cinema Way No animals were harmed in the making of this feature
In The Grey, Liam Neeson defends himself against a legion of evil wolves, armed with only his mind and a very particular set of skills. But as the good people of ZSL Whipsnade Zoo explain in this interview, wolves aren’t anywhere near as nasty as Neeson and co. would have us believe. In so doing, The Grey joins the long list of movies that seem designed to wind up the RSPCA – and here, to prove the point, are some of our “favourites”.
Warning: contains videos of animals exploding. You have been warned...
Film: Blazing Saddles Utter bastard: Mongo (Alex Karras) Crime against nature: Punching a horse in the mouth
Mel Brooks’ seminal comedy Western has many, many, many funny moments (“Excuse me while I whip this out”, “My name is Jim, but most people call me... Jim” to name, well, two), but the funniest is this, Mongo's face-punch of a full-grown horse. Clocking the stallion square in the muzzle, the steed abruptly collapses, rider still on board. But don’t blame Mongo – he’s just a pawn in the game of life, after all. A pawn in the game of life who’s not above assaulting livestock, but the point stands.

ep, I loved the resigned sound to McTiernan's voice in the commentary indicating he'd had a bit of grief over it
"Yes, it was a real scorpion (sigh)"
