Yep! Those were my thoughts exactly when saw it, but it is such a classic movie I cut'em a ton of slack. At least back then the actually went to Africa to film some of it, rather than it all being on a studio back lot or today's CGI junk, and they portray hunting as perfectly reasonable.

As an aside, even after I tell folks how they have to hold the barrels when shooting one of my guns I usually have to show them and emphasize that they really, really, really do want to hold on.

All a part of the fun!
