some will tell you Irving Pichel and Ernest B. Schoedsack’s 1932 adaptation of “The Most Dangerous Game” is the granddaddy of all HUNTING HUMANS motion pictures. Others prefer John Woo’s “Hard Target”, while some deranged individuals see the merits in the John Leguizamo comedy vehicle, “The Pest”.
With full respect to all other efforts to depict jaded, venal motherfuckers snuffing out human lives for sport, I would nominate Ernest Dickerson’s 1994 saga, “Surviving The Game” as the genre’s classic. While not nearly as original as Dickerson’s 1992 “Juice” (which for the purposes of this discussion, was not a hunting humans movie at all), STG does feature Ice-T evading the firepower of Rutger Hauer, F. Murray Abraham, Gary Busey and other grotesque caricatures of wealth/predation before exacting revenge. If only this episode could’ve feature some dialogue from the film, however, rights clearance issues once again, meant you’ve had to settle for selections from the CSTB archives.
