Directed by: John Frankenheimer, Richard Stanley
Starring: Val Kilmer, David Thewlis, Marlon Brando, Fairuza Balk
Hyena-Swine: Tell me, why you make the pain, if we are your children.
Sayer of the Law: To go on two legs is very hard. Perhaps four is better, anyway.
Dr. Moreau: I have seen the devil in my microscope, and I have chained him.
Edward Douglas: Are you a doctor?
Montgomery: Well, I'm more of a vet.
Hyena-Swine: There is no pain, there is no law.
Continuity mistake: When Douglas is first walking through the creature settlement, his shirt sleeves are rolled up. In the next shot from the same scene, his sleeves have gone down.
Trivia: During filming, Val Kilmer became so difficult to work with, that after his final scene was filmed, director John Frankenheimer ordered his crew to "get that bastard off my set."
Question: What did Dr. Moreau hope to accomplish by turning all of the animals into humans?
Answer: I don't know which movie version you're referring to, but in the 1977 film, he stated by controlling and manipulating the genetic code, he could remove all the defects from humans. No more mental or physical handicaps. No inherent genes passed from generation to generation. No dwarfism, blind or deafness.
Thank you. And I was referring to this version.
