Trivia:
Marlon Brando wore a small radio receiver to aid him remembering his lines. Co-star David Thewlis claimed "He'd be in the middle of a scene and suddenly he'd be picking up police messages and Marlon would repeat, 'There's a robbery at Woolworths'."

Quotes:
Dr. Moreau:
Permit me Mr.Douglas, to tell you something of the Devil as I've come to know him. The Devil is that element in human nature, that impels us to destroy and debase.
Edward Douglas: And what are you about upon this island but destruction and debasement.
Dr. Moreau: Oh well, I can tell you very plainly...
[Majai interrupts by putting his foot on the dinner table to which Dr.Moreau reacts]
Dr. Moreau: No please, don't do that.
[Majai removes foot from table]
Dr. Moreau: For 17 years I have been striving to create a... some measure of refinement in the human species you see. And it is here, on this very island, that I sir, have found the very essence of the Devil.

"I have seen the devil in my microscope, and I have chained him." - Dr. Moreau (Marlon Brando)
Hyena-Swine, Boar Man, Bison Man, Fox Lady, Sow Lady, Melting Bulldog ... this is the island that Dr. Moreau has sown (story by H.G.Wells)
Brando (as the doctor) is an adamantly convincing godfather of animals. His daughter Aissa (Fairuza Balk) and his assistant Montgomery (Val Kilmer) must reap the fruits of his labor.
Ron Perlman (Sayer of the Law) and Temuera Morrison (Azazello) add an extra spice that piquantly compliments the creator's vile kingdom.
If in the mood for something off the beaten path - don't hesitate.
