This is definitely a classic. I can remember seeing this 1000 times when I was a little kid. I've never seen the whole thing in one sitting though and I've only seen the edited TV version. Watching this in widescreen was a different experience. No scenes are cut on the DVD, so you get all the blood from the monster mutant 150 lbs rabbits. lol, if you can call them monsters.

It is blatantly obvious that most scenes in the movie are shot in a miniature scale model. The rabbits almost look evil and monster like with ketchup on their lips. They almost look like they tear apart their victims, and they would, if it wasn't for all that ketchup. Every scene of death and blood is obviously ketchup wiped all over the victims. If they ever remake this, they need to throw in some mustard as well.

Some places stand out where someone in a bunny suit attacks a person and another where the same bunny suit attacks a person in a horse suit. But that isn't enough; they had to throw in a person in a bunny suit attacking a person in a cow suit as well.

Editing is non-existent. The person who threw this together had no clue, as scenes will change mid-sentence while someone is speaking, to a totally different situation. The editor also decided we don't really need to comprehend what we see either. Some scenes change in less than a second, not giving your brain enough time to process what just happened.

Acting is typical 70s quality. Blank stares with long speeches where the actor is the only one who exists in the world.

If you haven't seen this one yet, catch up with the crowd and go get the DVD. It is well worth a sitting.

WolfZ hit all the major points that I was thinking about this crazy movie, so I'll just add a few more thoughts.

The strange thing, to me, was that the filmmakers thought that a movie about killer bunny rabbits would work in the same vein of "Night of the Living Dead." Instead of creeping zombies, we have creeping (really, slow motion) bunnies coming from all angles while a small population tries to handle the problem. The social implications, what we're doing to the planet, etc, aside, the idea of giant bunnies is just weird.

Really it's like this with every "killer animal" movie that involves pretty harmless things, like The Nest. You can show me killer roaches all day, but if they are really just standing there, they don't look scary, they just look confused. Same thing with this movie. The killer bunnies hop along but despite the awesome miniatures...damn.

Anyway, I laughed my ass off with this movie. Guys in bunny suits football tackling mannequins through windows? Side-tackling guys in horse suits? It doesn't get much better than that!

Wolf isn't kidding about that editing, holy cow...poor Janet Leigh (how did she end up here after Psycho???) TRIES to talk, but every other sentence is cut off by the caffeine-riddled editor. Aha! He's jumpy like a bunny! I get it! But, no.

The main thing I laughed at was the fact that a police officer interrupts a drive-in movie by driving in front of the screen and whipping out his bullhorn. He says, "Everyone! Giant killer rabbits are headed this way! We need your help, follow us in an orderly fashion!" And everyone just...goes along with it. Not a single person leans out of the car and says, "What in the fuck are you talking about???" Everyone turns on their cars and follows. This might just be me, but if some random cop came up and said, "Hey...there are killer bunny rabbits coming. Giant ones. Huge. Hopping in slow motion. Also, some people in bunny suits. Follow me." I might have a slight problem believing him...but, again, this is just me.

I say high rental, possibly buy if you want to revisit every Easter (recommended).
