Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Lion of Africa
Originally a documentary produced by HBO in 1987, this is an adventure movie that did not have that "feel". Fast-paced and spot-on dynamic, Brian Dennehy was superb as a big-hearted rogue in South Africa with an aging, growling bush truck he dubbed "The Lion of Africa". Thoroughly entertaining and informative at the same time, it was a gem of a purchase, even though it is now only available in VHS format and was purchased used from a party in Europe. It arrived as agreed, with a thank you note ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't waste your time.
This movie was stupid and sappy. Poor acting. Sorry I wasted my time.
Rating: - For any Brian Dennehy Fan
I have been a fan of Brian Dennehy since I first saw him in Foul Play. I have watched everything he has been in. The Lion in Africa was a great movie because for once he played a hero, had a love interest, and got the girl at the end. With the exception of the Little Mermaid and the Belly of an Architect - I have enjoyed everything he has been in. Lion in Africa, however, is my favorite and I can watch it over and over again. I wish he would do more movies like this.
Rating: - A "Fun" Movie
No, it isn't high theater but it is a good movie to sit down in front of with a big bowl of popcorn, a cold beer and maybe the lady in your life for an enjoyable weekend afternoon diversion.
Brian Dennehy has the "borderline obnoxious but deep down you know there's a heart of gold" character down pat and he plays it to the hilt here. The scenery is great, particularly if you're stuck inside on a cloudy, rainy day.
A good, fun flick.
Rating: - A pretty good adventure, worth seeing.
Gods Must Be Crazy, Out Of Africa, or Hatari, it ain't. What it is, instead, is a good and fun adventure in Kenya. Brian Denehey is terrific as the stubborn-old-coot-safari-guy. It has moments of charm and wild abandon. The cinematography is excellent. You'll love just watching the African scenery go by. The story leaves something to be desired. But, on the whole, it's a pretty good movie.
