The PG-rated deaths in THE JUNGLE BOOK (1994 version) 

*SPOILER ALERT!* No, Baloo doesn't actually die in the film, but the scene was too sad and powerful not to be included in this compilation. The point was to show how brutal a PG-rated film could be. Also, a small tribute to composer Basil Poledouris, Jason Scott Lee's performance, and perhaps to one of the greatest scenes that director Stephen Sommers has made. This, as well as the "I am not a man!" scene, are probably the best moments in the entire film, in my opinion. On a side note, "Doc" Antle (from Netflix's _Tiger King_ documentary) is credited in this film. Weird, right?

Harley's death traumatized me as a kid. Now as an adult I can look at it and know it's an actor bending his knees and dunking his head underwater for a few seconds. But damn the actor that played Wilkins really needs an Oscar. His reactions to the chaotic brutal universe of this movie are just so human and relatable.

That quicksand one scarred me so bad I used to have awful nightmares about that

Eventhough we all know Baloo lives, that scene still gets me watching Baloo lay there in pain while Mowgli just holds him and cries 😢

The trap is really clever and unforgiving. "If you desecrate the tomb you become the tomb"

I always thought Buldeo gets crushed alive but the I realized..It didnt crush him, it trapped him in there. Thats even more terrifying.

4 things Strenght of a bear Speed of a panther Heart of a wolf And very sharp teeth

Saw this at a friend's birthday party back in elementary school when I was about 10. Thought we were going to watch a fun Disney film. Wasn't prepared for the horror style deaths at all. Traumatized me for a couple of years. Specially the quicksand. Always thought the guy who got buried in salt also got crushed by the ceiling as well, but I guess the thought of getting buried alive is almost a bit worse. It was kind of therapeutic to watch this again.

Jungle Book (Book): Let's Write a series of Stories about the complex relationship between Man and Nature Jungle Book (1967): Let's Make a fun animated movie with memorable characters and music Jungle Book (2016): Let's Do the same thing as 1967 but not a musical and draw elements from the book too Jungle Book (1994): Let's Give Kids Nightmares

A FAMILY picture.

Hands down the best Disney live action film ever.

PG: Parental guidance may be required as you hear a man scream and plead for his life before sinking into quicksand where he spends the next 3 minutes drowning in eternal darkness

I was a child and my parents took me to see this film in theaters when it came out, I credited this film as the reason why I love adventures that involve jungles, temples, treasure and anything that has to do with Indiana Jones type adventure movies. 👍

I remember Harley and Buldeo's deaths the most out of all of these, because both of them gave me nightmares for more than ten years. (mostly exaggerated, but I did have an irrational fear of quicksand and tombs in movies ever since seeing this movie)

Something I've noticed that each of the deaths of Boone and his henchmen was decidedly karmic. Harley was a brutish thug of a man who often bullied Wilkins. He died because he ended up in a situation where his strength was useless, and the only one who could help him was the man he bullied and belittled. Tarqui might not have fallen off the cliff if he hadn't been carried backward by the heavy rock he'd picked up to try and kill Mowgli with. Wilkins was a craven man who didn't go to Buldeo's aid after shooting him by accident. Not only did his lack of nerve mark him as easy pickings for Shere Khan, but if he'd had Buldeo with him, he might have had a better chance of survival -- Shere Khan would likely have singled out the wounded man. Buldeo gets a twofold one. After abandoning Mowgli's father to Shere Khan, HE got abandoned by Wilkins. And then, in the temple itself, he was so dead set on shooting Mowgli that he didn't think to escape the sand-flooding pit until it was too late. And Boone? Bigot that he was, he underestimated Mowgli's cunning and skill. His greed for treasure meant he would sink like a stone when Kaa startled him into the water. And, just as he had made trophies of the animals he hunted for cruel, thoughtless sport, Boone became the latest addition to Kaa's own collection of greedy gold seekers.

The scene where he's running with the animals after Baloo gets shot is beautiful!

The way they reveal all the skeletons loaded up with treasure at the bottom of the pit is freaking brilliant.

The saddest death was Nathoo as he was a good man who didn't break the Jungle Law and risked his life to save an ungrateful Buldeo. Both Buldeo's and Boone's were satisfying as they both lied, cheated and did despicable things to get what they wanted.

I'll always ALWAYS remember that quicksand scene. It's so horrible. He's a horrible person in the movie but I feel SO bad for him. No one should have to go like that.

Something I learned recently about this movie is that this wasn't originally a Disney movie and it was made by the same guy who made The Mummy. Comparing the two films, I would say that they're similar enough in theme/tone that they honestly would work as sequels if someone was doing a series of adaptations. So they ought to be rated the same right? These movies were made within 5 years of each other by two different companies with different motives. If you look at their listed genres, The Jungle Book is called a "Romance-Adventure Children's Film" and The Mummy is called a "Horror-Action Adventure." This goes to show that genre and rating _isn't_ about letting the audience know what they're in for, it's primarily about marketing. Two similar movies made by the same guy, sold by two companies. Disney probably just caught wind of a live-action Jungle Book movie and bought it up, did what they had to get a PG rating and sold it to catch fans of the animated film.

This movie was so good back in the day. Amazing what they did before CGI.

when pg means something entirely different

This movie kept me awake at night for YEARS. Boon's death especially haunted me; being weighed down in murky water, seeing the remains of all the other who died in the same way, and then being eaten by a giant snake... NO THANKS!

Seriously, this film has SO MUCH *GOOD* going for it! It may be an adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling source material in name only, but I still feel the script is well-written, the acting's commendable, the music is well-done, the locations are well-chosen, and let's not forget the 'acting' on behalf of the *animal* cast. I don't know why people don't talk about this particular version more often.

The sand trap death is really scared. He gave nightmare to me when I was kid.

Buldeo's death haunted me for so many years as a child. Being trapped and unable to escape. Still makes my heart race.

I'm probably the only one who watched this really young and didn't get nightmares!

I still have flashbacks to that quicksand scene and periodically come back to see it just to double check that I'm not crazy and that really happened.

Quick sand scene was the scariest. Wilkins dieing was the saddest. I liked that character

"Harley, what are you doing in there?" Not having a bath, that's for sure. Needless to say that scene stuck out a very sore thumb back then. Maybe the tomb bit as well.

I used to think quicksand would be more of an issue growing up than it actually was

Honestly, it's quite different to see Mowgli as an adult rather than a kid. Sometimes, I wish more adaptations would do this to experiment on the story a little

Yo Wilkins was such a good actor... For years my brother and I use to scream in the house "Wilkins!! Wilkins!"

Seeing king Louie clapping at the end kind of lightened the mood and showed a little comedy relief after the deaths.

7:49 “What a shame. Well… shall we continue?” -LOVED that line from Kitty 😂

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid, but yes, the deaths were pretty traumatic.

Watching this again some of these deaths remind me of the deaths in Cliffhanger. Even Boone's heartless comment after Harley's death. I remember when I was a kid I thought Buldeo was so close to getting out. Wilkins scream as he ran from Khan was terrifying to me. The guy is helpless and he knows death is near. Credit to the actor for playing that part so well.

Oh my GOSH, I totally just relived memories of my childhood. This is crazy! Thank you for putting this together, awesome job.

Even before The Mummy, it has that Stephen Sommers flair you recognize, in particular characters quirkily reacting to danger.

3:55 is just an epic piece of cinema!

Guilty pleasure as a child. I could say each of those villains DESERVED it, seeing how they treated Mowgli HARSH. By the way, have you ever seen "Groundhog Day"...? ;-)

5:45 be like “Without a cup of Wilkins, you'll sink right into all of life's problems!”

I'm glad other people were equally disturbed by Harley's death as a child. I remember this movie was playing on TV and I got excited because I love the cartoon version but then that scene came on and I was absolutely scarred. I cried and told my mom to turn it off lol

@3:55 The scene where Mogwli(Jason Scott Lee) running together with the animals was too damn EPIC!

SPOILER! Baloo survives

This movie is a classic

I saw this at a friend's house when I was young, and I literally couldn't look away.

I absolutely adored this movie growing up and I'm so glad I'm not alone in the fanbase. I had kids look at me weird when I said there was a live action Jungle Book movie

SAW deaths can't compare to this.

I gotta tell ya that scene where baloo sacrifices himself to save Mowgli then gets shot by the poachers Mowgli sits next to baloo mourning and crying for him breaks my heart everytime I hate that poachers can be so cruel to animals.

"Well, let's not be discouraged by every little thing" is an excellent villain line

The tomb scene gives me nightmares

For those of you wondering why most of the film is about a treasure hunt, that part is based off the second book. The first few scenes in the movie is supposed to be the first book on fast forward, and the rest of the film is based off the second book.

I love how the camera zoom into his face and he doesn't even hesitate to run back. My favorite jungle book movie by far

Im 38 now and grieving mowgli running through the jungle to avenge Baloo still makes me well up with emotions like when i was 9.

You know what I really like about this movie? Nearly all the animals here are real and trained, except for Kaa and his scenes slithering around as a green anaconda (which is weird because Kaa is a python not, a boa constrictor)

I was so scarred by the quicksand one as a kid

I had no idea this version existed until now

My brain finally brought this movie out of the deep recesses of my memories today. I watched this film countless times when I was a kid and I completely forgot how many people die in this film! 😬😅

8:50 That's one sound I pray to never hear in my life.

Upon the time of this movie's release, I nicknamed this version "Jungle Book - Rampage Edition", because of how brutal those British soldiers were to those animals, even Mowgli!

Mowgli: strength of a bear! Guy swings blade Mowgli: speed of a panther! Cuts the guy Mowgli: and very sharp teeth Me: XD the end

Wilkins: sees Sgt. Harley drowning in moving sands also Wilkins: wHat are yOu dOINg tHeRE?

(meanwhile on the Muppet Show theater balcony) (5:49) Waldorf: Ah, this movie's terrible enough as it is. Statler: No kidding. The guy had a SINKING FEELING about that already! Both: D'OH-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO! (7:45) Statler: All that hard work just to kill a jungle kid? How pathetic. Waldorf: Well, what did I tell ya? His career hit ROCK BOTTOM! Both: D'OH-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO! (9:32) Statler: Huh, he ran a long way, I'll give him that. Waldorf: True, but he still couldn't avoid the CAT-astrophe comin' for him! Both: D'OH-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO! (11:35) Waldorf: Good riddance to him. Statler: Yep, that'll certainly SHUT his TRAP! Both: D'OH-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO! (13:00) Statler: Must say I can relate to the poor guy. Waldorf: Yeah, why's that? Statler: He got himself into DEEP WATER! Both: D'OH-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO!

I like how the one guy drops his gun and tries to reach for the guy in the quicksand with his hand. Like...use the gun to extend your reach genius.

I loved this movie as a kid! Only took 30 years to jar my memory of it lol Btw i feel like if you show kids this movie who like it, they will end up loving "The Mummy" and "Indian Jones"

The most scariest scene for me in this movie is the guy getting entombed in that old Temple alongside the quicksand but that scene is what scared me the most being suffocated and imprisoned in that thing kind of gave me nightmares being in trapped in a pit filling up with sand and a spiked ceiling preparing to fall upon me

Tabaqui's fall was always funny to me. Once he picked that rock up over his head, all Mowgli had to do was gently kick him in the opposite direction and it was all down hill from there. Pun intended.

Boone being weighed down by the treasure is some good shit.

4:59 A DISNEY picture

Honestly one thing I've learned from this movie is not to mess around with a treasure cuz they always bring death cuz this treasure room has Kaa the giant snake guarding it the ones in Indiana Jones was booby traped and the one in the mummy was cursed and booby trapped with salt acid and the scarab beetles so in any action adventure movie stay from treasure rooms in either a ancient city or a temple.

The way Tabaqui fell to his death actually made me laugh as a kid.

The scene of the guy being buried always freaked me out. I usually had dreams of being in trapped a room of some kind.

Man when he goes back for Baloo I start crying I can see how much he cares for him I remember it made me cry when I was younger too

And they say Mowgli was the darkest version. Edit:After going back to both versions, this movie seems to have an overall lighter tone, despite having worse deaths.

I love this movie. They trained the animals well for this. The cgi is kinda wonky or what ever they are doing for some of these deaths but there is a good story here. And there are some awesome shots done here.

I remember this when I was a kid. Never understood what it was all about back then.

Harley: Take us to the treasure, and she'll live! Mowgli: I will take you there.... and we will see who lives. As true as it's said!

I love this movie, brings back so many memories.

5:00 I don't fully remember this movie, as I've only seen this movie a few times and many years ago, but this scene right here has bern forever burned into my brain. Whenever someone mentions the 1994 Jungle Book movie, or I suddenly have a flashback of it, this death scene is always the first thing that comes to mind.

5:36 when I was a kid, during the quicksand scene I thought that blade of grass was a tail he was growing 🤣

To think the leading lady of this movie would grow into the actress that would portray Cersei Lannister in GoT. Its like night and day.

Shere Khan certainly deserved an Oscar. He was magnificent. 😍😍😍

Coming from the guy who would soon do deep rising and the mummy...this makes much more sense

Yo that brief moment of CGI for Kaa was better than Jungle Book's and Mowgali's CGI snake combined. Is it that hard to do a snake?

This movie was one of my top favorite movies when I was a kid. But I find it sad that so few people actually know it, because when I'd talk about it they all assumed I was talking about Tarzan. But the way this movie was made and how it came out is just so amazing. The times when there was hardly any CGI and they actually had real animals on set. Plus I love Mowgli with long hair, and the way he's portrayed in this movie feels so genuine and sweet, I remember jumping around our living room as a kid, and pretending I was in a jungle. Also I usually hate romance subplots in movies but this couple was so sweet I've always loved them. And thank you for making this video, I was half convinced that the movie was just a hallucination I experienced as a kid, because I couldn't find it anywhere. Now I'll get to watch it again in its full glory

Tabaqui used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. I used to scream when he picked up that huge rock. Only now did I realize he wasn't really a big dude, just had a large shirt 😂

It makes me sooooo angry when I see this movie is aired on TV AND THEY CUT ALMOST ALL OF THESE OUT.

William Boone? Meet Kaa.

7:50: Behold the birth of Cersei!

10:40 Infamous Spongebob line.

This movie was so METAL as a kid!

1:05 that sound effect instantly makes me want to look for where the poison headcrab is about to be thrown at me from.

7:50 is the Cersei we know and love

My favorite scene here is when Shere Khan chases and kills Wilkins.

Used to love this movie when I was a kid but no way Wilkins could outrun a tiger for as long as he did. The magic of Disney.

I also didn't notice until I looked it up, but the gentleman who plays Sergeant Harley also plays Rodrik Cassel in GoT. I mean, at this point there are fewer British and Irish actors who AREN'T in GoT than are :P

Wilkin's death by the tiger Shere Khan was a terrible and brutal death being mauled, torn, and ripped to pieces.

Baloo doesn't die tho, but I 😭 when they shot him

The quicksand one is scary asf period
