Trivia:
'Lepus' is the Latin term for rabbit. moreGoofs:
Crew or equipment visible: Before the rabbits stampede on the general store, a stagehand is visible in the background of one of the shots of the empty road. Since the road is a miniature set, this means that he looks about fifty feet tall. moreQuotes:

My review will be brief,here.If you are an adult viewing this film for the first time,you are sure to have a few good laughs. If you are an easily frightened 7 year old kid,such as I was when I saw it,it will give you nightmares about rabbits.I am not sure what the intent was here,whether they felt they had a legitimate horror film,or that they went out of their way to be silly,but the film is exactly that;silly.If your kids are easily frightened,keep them away until they are adults who are able to see the humor.If you are one who likes to collect bad movies for fun,or if you are genuinely frightened by the idea of giant killer rabbits,this one is for you.
