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

[@AngrySilence]

*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?

[@danielt.4330]

Thank you so much for giving a shoutout and credit to Basil Poledouris! He did a phenomenal job with the music in this film! I actually listen to it all the time. I love the main theme, the ending theme, and "Spoils." I also love the music that plays in the Monkey City treasure room, it's so haunting and beautiful! I wish more people would appreciate film composers, who literally carry the entire film through their music! If you like music as I do, feel free to also a few of my favorites: Alan Menken, Hans Zimmer and James-Newton Howard. Thanks again!

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.

real quicksand will not swallow you but real peat bogs like out on the bogs in Ireland will swallow you. Its muddy like rotten peat on top and water under it. The peat floats on top and if you step through it you will sink into the water . It looks just like quicksand but its bogs that will do it.

And I didn't see any indication that the falling sand was slowing down, indicating that the tomb was still filling with sand when the block closed on him. At least he didn't suffer for long in there. He would have suffocated to death in a matter of minutes.

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.

[@cameronturk4388]

You’ve got to admit though It’s a Brilliant film for kids who are around 10. I first saw this when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old and ever since then It’s always been one of my Favourite childhood movies of all time. The fact that it had a few terrifying scenes for kids makes it more memorable and more impactful in a good way. This movie partly inspired my love and passion for wild animals, nature and the Wilderness. Just the sheer Adventure tone of this film alone with the deep Jungle and all that was enough for me to love it as a kid and I still love it to this day It’s a Classic!

Only reason why I’m even qualifying that statement is because there’re other features like Romancing the Stone, The Mummy (which was directed by the same person as The Jungle Book), and The Rocketeer that are roughly equal in quality to this film and happen to channel the Indiana Jones series in a similar fashion.

[@LonePhantom756]

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.

[@silverdragon23455]

Whoever made that makeshift quicksand must've been pretty busy.

[@Nerdicaful]

It doesn't help when you have an overactive imagination as a kid (hell, even as an adult) and you watch those scenes. For example: while Harley was sinking, there was a blade of grass that kept touching him and I always thought it was sentient as a kid; like it was actively trying to make Harley sink even faster. And that just made an already scary scene even scarier.

[@AngrySilence]

[@Meggsie]

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.

[@kieranadamson3224]

If it helps the anxiety at all, real quicksand doesn't work like it does in the movies at all. It uses the same logic as for why modern metal ships can float. At the very worst youd perhaps get stuck up to your waist snd tgen you'd just be embarrassed as you waited for a friend or two to yank you out. But even then its extremely unlikely youd ever find a pit of quicksand that deep anyway. In contrast to the myth your feet would hit the bottom very fast and the average joe might not even know they stood in quicksand at all.

@@bloodyrose1985 there's a theory that the film originally swapped Wilkins and Buldeo's deaths (so Buldeo was meant to be killed by Shere Khan, and Wilkins trapped in the sandpit), but Wilkins was too sympathetic to deserve such a horrible death so they were switched.

[@lindseyyoung2327]

So was I. I saw this movie when I was 6 or 7 years old at a friend's house. I watched half of the movie and then went out into the backyard for a bit out of boredom. Then I came back inside and saw the quicksand scene on the TV and it truly frightened me to see one of the villians die in such a harmless thing as mud. That was the very first time I saw quicksand on TV.

Yeah It’s definitely the most Badass scene of the film! Shere Khan in this movie himself as an animal character is such a Badass! He’s the keeper of The Jungle Law who will kill anyone who breaks it and they don’t stand a chance against him. I wish there was a Tiger like that in real life who would kill trophy hunters and poachers and basically be like a Ghost to any authorities hunting him down.

[@kaysmith8992]

Someone posted a theory which I'm tempted to believe, that Wilkins and Buldeo were originally swapped so Buldeo is killed by Shere Khan and Wilkins is buried alive... but apparently Wilkins was an oddly sympathetic/pathetic character so death by tiger was considered 'kinder'.

[@taajwarpope2708]

That's my favorite scene in my early childhood. When I mimic Wilkins for being scared of Shere Khan, my parents thought I was having a seizure. I don't know what it's like when you're trying to outrun a jungle cat but I know once you're a target for food, that's the end of you.
