Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Jock of the Bushveld
This is a classic South African story that takes place in the late 1800's about a young man who is goes to find gold and along the way rescues the runt of a litter who becomes his constant companion. It tells of his adventures in the bush and many encounters with wild animals and Jock's courage. This is an amazing story that is sure to elicit an emotional response.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Dissappointed!
I too was really dissappointed in the remake of this film, I honestly thought I was buying the original I saw in South Africa as a child. The whole film just seems so unenthusiastic, even the ending is not as it was in the book or original film. Alot of the scenes do not match the book as the original film did. Im sending the film back as I am now purchasing the original from ebay. what a waste of time and money!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Beware - not the original Jock of the Bushveld
I am a South African and very dissapointed that 2 whole scenes were just cut out of this movie, possibly to make it "politically correct". Though the scenes are disturbing it is part of the movie and must be seen in that light. Please warn your buyers that they are buying a watered down movie and not the original.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The horror, the horror of bad remakes!!!!
Gray Hofmeyr's 1986 version of this film was true to the book and gave your hearts some major tugs, especially at the end of the film when Jock dies. In this one, the only bright light is the late Robert Urich, who endeared himself to everyone here when he arrived to shoot his scenes.

An awful film (with a wimpy hero and an even more wimpish heroine, the actress playing the role of Lilian complained that "South Africa is so dusty, I'm glad I don't lay bricks when I go to the toilet") one that should be missed by all.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Jock
most disappointing. bought this movie thinking it was the original "Jock of the Bushveld" but instead got an absolute botch up. editing was probably done by a 2 year old. this movie is a mockery of the orignal and the book. don't make the same mistake I did and get this movie thinking it was "jock of the Bushveld" African version. Just shows how mainstream movie makers think that by throwing in a big name actor (Robert Urich) they'll make it better than the original. In my opinion the original vs. this movie are not even in the same league.
