The One Reason to Watch the Terrible Movie "Prophecy"

[G-Master]

This movie (released in '79) just sucked, everything that happened was ridiculous. How about that grizzly mutated by Mercury poisoning! Anyway, this clip is the single reason you must watch the movie, the little kid bound in the sleeping bag as he tries to hop away in vain from the angry inside-out bruin.

It's one of the funniest scenes in bad cinema history. The slam against the rock and that loud "thud!" is one thing, the other is the fact that when the kid inside the bag explodes ... it's all feathers.

I remember seeing that movie when I was a little dude. It was rated PG i believe, at least HBO said so but it freaked me out. Especially that sleeping bag seen. But upon further reflection, it was pretty funny shit.

Believe it or not, this movie actually was rated PG. I caught it on for the first time just a few months ago when AMC was airing it (which they do all the time by the way). I have Directv, so I was getting a description for it, and as usual the details about older movies aren't too accurate or revealing, so I had to watch it.
I was under the impression that I was watching a typical drama film with a few enviromental messages thrown in. But shortly afterward I discovered that this was supposed to be a horror movie, with the mutated grizzly and all in Maine (where there are no brown bears).

I'll admit this much - the scenario if it were possible - would be a terrifying experience, but it's just too damn over the top and ridiculous. However, the bear is awfully gruesome for a PG rated film from '79. But maybe Hollywood had more balls back then.

Anyway ... this scene will always be a classic. Guranteed to make you laugh.

I thought you ment "The Prophecy" with Christopher Walken. That was a good movie. The film this thread is based on blows.

I notice alot of older movies had lenient ratings as compared to stuff nowadays. I cannot remember what i was watching but they said "fuck" a few times, but it was just PG-13. Not anymore, you see a boob or swear you get the big ole R.

But back to this movie, I would recommend everyone watch it, if just for the sleeping bag scene. It is absolutley a horrible attempt at being serious. I wanna say (its been like 20 years since I saw this) but doesnt the bear like pick up the bags and slap them into the ground, with feathers going everywhere?

"The Prophecy" was a kick ass movie. But there is an uncut version that goes by its original title "gods army" somewhere.

Any 12 year old who hears the word "fuck" will become a massmurdering pagan... or so Tipper thinks.
