Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesSir Michael Palin's gregarious character in this movie was intended to make up for his character in Ein Fisch namens Wanda (1988), who had a severe stutter and could barely speak.
- PatzerWhen Vince says 'I am not a wuss' to Rod, John Cleese in the background also mouths the line.
- Zitate
Vince: Told you I'd kick ass, Dad. What I really wanted to ask was, I, uh - I was wondering, could I get a raise?
Rod: Out of the question.
Vince: Why?
Rod: I don't have the money.
Vince: You got six billion dollars!
Rod: Seven, but things are tight right now. Who the hell's making all this bloody noise? Who's there?
[he opens the door and he sees no one]
Vince: Okay, look. Uh, what about a-a small advance on my inheritance?
Rod: What inheritance?
Vince: Well...
[nervous laugh]
Vince: I-I'm your son! You have to leave me something.
Rod: Why?
Vince: 'Cause you... you screwed up my whole childhood!
Rod: How could I have? I wasn't even there.
- Crazy CreditsNo animals were injured during the making of this movie, only humans.
- Alternative VersionenTo receive a PG certificate for UK cinemas one cut was made to remove Rollo's use of 'fucking hell'. Video and DVD releases were uncut and the rating increased to a 12.

Special congratulations must go to Cleese and Kline, both of whom give exceptional performances, and there is a real sense of joy that comes through from the various situations in which these characters find themselves. Although Cleese's character is somewhat 'Fawlty-esque', and let's face it - this is what he does best, I found it thoroughly enjoyable.
Jamie lee Curtis and Michael Palin do equally well, though Palin's character is almost as frustrating / annoying as was his role in 'Wanda', but I don't think this detracts from the enjoyability factor of the film.
This is an uplifting, and heart-warming affair, packed full of laughs, but with a more than reasonable plot line, and I really liked the ending, which cleverly capitalizes on Klines excellent character acting.
If I had to level any sort of criticism at 'Fierce creatures', it would be in the soundtrack department - i just didn't think it was as good as it could have been - but this makes little difference to the overall flow of the film, and I have no hesitation in awarding it 9.5 out of 10, and recommending it to anyone that enjoys a well made and endearing, quality comedy.
