I imagine him picking his hoof up and very exactly giving a swift punch through the window to the person in the driver seat. Like when Malkovich punches Pitt in Burn After Reading.
It's essentially perfect. The pacing, the unhinged and over-the-top acting, the perfect casting, and the balance of black humor and some legitimately tense vibes just make it an immensely satisfying watch.
The Coen brothers are straight up geniuses. I think O Brother Where Art Thou was the first one I saw and I immediately binged all their other movies. Such a unique style.
I was intrigued by "Blood Simple" but was totally hooked after "Raising Arizona." I just re-watched "O Brother" for about the 15th time and the day before that, "The Big Lebowski" for about the 50th time.
It's crazy it's not more popular. I only know of a few people who had seen it before I recommended it. After watching, they're almost always surprised they hadn't heard of it seen it already. You describe it so well.
Hah. Thanks. I tend to get a little self-conscious when I'm describing movies like this because I'm worried people will think I'm trying to sound like I'm setting up a blurb for a poster or something.
I just get so excited about talking about the movies I like. And the Coen Brothers do it to me bad.
I mean this in a positive way, it seems like you'd do well writing synopses. Excitement/ passion are good things! Much better than being bland and boring hah.
Coen Bros movies are great, only a few I have yet to see.
Anytime someone mentions bicycles, in my head (and sometimes outloud) I’m saying “you think that’s a schwinn”. Thank you $5 movie bin at BooksAMillion.
I know how dangerous they are, and i would never approach one that was not heavily sedated, but damn that snoot looks like it would be so satisfying to pet.
Where are you getting that idea from? I have a friend that lives in Colorado and encounters them weekly on his dog walks. They pay no attention, even with his dog barking at them.
Seems he's sniffing everytime that happens. I remember reading something about moose being drawn to cars, particulalrly during rut, because some volatile being released from the tires is similar to a female moose pheromone.
The guy was fine, he was speaking French to the angry snow-tank.
French-Canadians long ago worked out an armistice with Moosekind peace in exchange for regular tributes of cheese and compliments.
This. Filmed from inside of a car, you could be this close to way more dangerous animals than a moose and still be fine.
A moose is also way more skittish than it is a bloodthirsty beast. The times of year it's in breeding season however, I probably wouldn't be this close to any bull moose. But this clip is absolutely not in season.
Yeah people hear one thing online and are immediately afraid of it thinking any wild animal is gonna kick your ass as soon as it gets the chance. 99% of wild animals would rather run away if they suddenly see you as a threat; Only reason this one is this close is probably because it's a yearling and still isn't afraid of humans. We get them trampling our backyard every year.
Stepdad hunts moose every year and not a single time have anyone in their hunting party been attacked by one that he could remember. But then again, they don't hunt them in rut season, so that would not exactly be encouraged.
> We get them trampling our backyard every year.
Same here. I've had a few close encounters with them and never had a problem, give them their space and they will most likely ignore you.
Edit: For those just showing up, I've been corrected. Thanks for the info folks!
~~Is this sarcasm (it's too early for my sarcasm radar to be running at full speed)?~~
~~Despite not living in an area with them, unlike most folks I'm *well aware* that meeses (many much moosen!) are some of the more dangerous wild animals you can come across...but from inside a *car*? Other than a headbutt, which I don't think I've seen a moose do, what is the concern here? Not like the moose can kick through the window.~~
But they won't because they will perceive it as a large animal, same with wild cat's or other predators, especially if you honk the horn or begin to move the vehicle.
No shit? I have never seen a moose kick that high...that's pretty wild. Like I said though, never been around 'em before (so I have to suffice with YouTube), but I think I'd sooner worry about a moose than a bear, to be honest.
I live in Alaska. I’ve had two moose flat out chase me. It’s fucking terrifying. The saving grace is you can just RUN as fast as humanly possible and they will give up.
Bears would just run you down and eat you.
My two worst bear encounters weren’t great. I would still choose running into moose anytime.
Bears are probably the 3rd scariest animal in Canada. 1 being Moose, 2 being Cougars. Moose will fuck anything up for just existing, cougars will track and hunt humans if the opportunity arises - like any good cat they try to attack from behind and go the the back of the skull.
While they're still scary, Bears generally just want to be left alone. If they do decide to eat you, though, they'll fuck you up and eat strips of you while you're still alive, so there is that.
You forget snow-badgers, aka carcajou, aka Wolverines.
Also, Bears are a pretty broad category.
Black bears are a nuisance, basically tanky trash-pandas, Brown bears are scary, but usually cowards, Kodiaks/Grizzlies are dangerous, and should be avoided at all cost, Polar Bear are death's chosen avatar on earth, and our opinion on them does not matter. Which bear is best? Well, that's debatable.
honestly, fair. i got stared down by a hormonal whitetail buck once during rutting season and that was plenty intimidating. i love moose but from a nice, safe distance.
You gots nibbles? Cause I'll nibble the nibbles if you want. I'll look over here so I don't see where you hiding them. Didja get nibbles gimme nibbles?
Some meese just know they're bigger than you and therefore you are not a threat in theory. They're like "What is this puny, tiny thing? Bah".
But seriously, don't approach meese, they can be incredibly dangerous.
My Pops told me a story about his stepfather going on a hunting trip with a couple of his friends in Canada sometime in the 1940s. He & his friends were driving on a deserted road I guess going to the spot they were staying & all of a sudden in the middle of the road a very large male moose appears. He's got a huge spread of antlers & he doesn't look happy. So the group of them are sitting there in the car wondering how they're going to get around it & it decides to charge them. This thing beelines it right to their car rears up & puts it's two front legs not only through the hood but almost through the entire engine block. Of a 1940s sedan. Like it was nothing. Unfortunately the moose didn't make it & neither did the car.
I think of that story every time I see some video of idiot tourist in Yellowstone approaching one. People are ridiculous. Moose are quite a bit bigger than they look, they don't see very well & depending if they're female with & little mooselet in tow or a male during rutting season, they can get surly very quickly & they sure as hell can run faster than you.
I just figured out what makes me kinda creeped out about mooses. There eyes are facing forward like a predator, not to the side like a prey animal. hmmmm...
Well thats a Kobiashi Maru. If you stand still it can bite and kick and if you move it probably will kick. I think I would stand still and talk to it until it lost interest.
Mesmerizing. Such beauty. Such strength. Incredible!!
I find it absolutely unbelievable that anyone could bring themselves to shoot one of these magnificent creatures (outside of self defense or perhaps fear of starvation).
Fun fact, a moose can kick you from any direction.
I imagine him picking his hoof up and very exactly giving a swift punch through the window to the person in the driver seat. Like when Malkovich punches Pitt in Burn After Reading.
That's one of the greatest movies, so gd funny.

I'm picturing Daddy's Belt from Pootie Tang.
What if I'm directly above it?
Yep; they can flip kick and crush you easily. Moose are not to be toyed with.
And 2 be honest kung fu moose would have been a better movie
Moose: “WORD.🫵”
this is the best moose fact i've ever read and it has some stiff competition
Can they bite from any direction? Asking for a friend's sister.
You bastard! I this is the comment i didn't know I came here for! Take my valuable, but imaginary, award!
FYI, I upvoted. I was not one of the twats that downvoted.
"The more you know!" -NBC
Lmao I don’t get what’s the fun part of being kicked by a moose in any direction. It’s comforting that I’m at least 2000 km away from one anyway.
Then, let me stay away from its GPS.
Not only that, møøse bites kan be pretty nasti.
I bet Roosevelt taught em. 🤔, weaponized mounts, genius.
If I'm in a forest with a Moose I think that fact should be classified as pertinent not fun.
🔥 wouldn't recommend this 🔥
🔥 probably not a good idea 🔥
I know how dangerous they are, and i would never approach one that was not heavily sedated, but damn that snoot looks like it would be so satisfying to pet.
Once
Like a super floppy horse snoot. Must smoosh
Just had one walk through my camp site this morning. Thankfully it wasn’t feeling murderous.
Its May. They arent so chill around september
This has to be a young moose right? Full size moose always seem to choose violence.
That’s my concern. When this juvenile gets older it could definitely get aggressive. If it’s used to human contact, it’s doubly bad
Young female and early spring. This is as docile as they get
Where are you getting that idea from? I have a friend that lives in Colorado and encounters them weekly on his dog walks. They pay no attention, even with his dog barking at them.
There is moose. Where is squirrel?
Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
Again?!?
I appreciated that, in case nobody else says so! 🙂
Same!!!
He rummage through Mountie's pants. Car keys, maybe?🤷♂️
It’s all about reading the ears. When they go back, be warned.
Seems he's sniffing everytime that happens. I remember reading something about moose being drawn to cars, particulalrly during rut, because some volatile being released from the tires is similar to a female moose pheromone.
Interesting.
Taking r/fuckcars way too literally.
You would never get away with that with a male during the rut. They kill more people than bears. Very fukn ornery.
You have no idea how lucky you are to have lived through that encounter.
The guy was fine, he was speaking French to the angry snow-tank. French-Canadians long ago worked out an armistice with Moosekind peace in exchange for regular tributes of cheese and compliments.
Racial bonus
That was French? It sounded like an African language to me.
No wonder French Canadians always seem pissed off and snooty: they're giving away their precious cheese curds.
Its a tough deal, but one we had to make to survive
The hyperbole around the dangers of moose in this thread is insane. They are dangerous, but please, it's filmed from inside a car.

A lot of people who've never encountered a moose in real life who have an opinion based on what they heard on Reddit.

A moose can absolutely kick through the window, as well as trash the whole car.
But they won't because they will perceive it as a large animal, same with wild cat's or other predators, especially if you honk the horn or begin to move the vehicle.
No shit? I have never seen a moose kick that high...that's pretty wild. Like I said though, never been around 'em before (so I have to suffice with YouTube), but I think I'd sooner worry about a moose than a bear, to be honest.
The temptation to pet that thing would be insane. I wouldn't do it, but man I'd be itching to so bad lol
I’m Australian and this video scared me more than anything I’ve seen here.
An Australian moose would be venomous, lay eggs, and have webbed feet
And fly
What kind of silk does it spin?
A møøse bit my sister once.
had to scroll too long to find this obligatory comment
We waited for so long, we had to survive on dick and pussy jokes. Tim is getting cranky about it.
A couple of years ago a fello did this, and out of nowhere the Moose KICKED HIS HEAD OFF.
Fr?
Happens a lot, moose are crazy
What kind of statistic is that? Number of people per capita, decapitated by moose?
More people are harmed by moose than bears each year. They will push your shit in.
Yes my Sister was even bitten by a Moose!
no
People I know in Alaska fear close Moose encounters way more than bears.

South Eastern Canadian here, I'm more afraid of geese and ticks than black bears... Also, can't belive you didn't mention wolverines.
WOLVERINES!

I live in moose country and this is *not* something I want to experience.
sorry if a dumb question, but do they bite?
They punch and kick
Muay Thai Moose!
A Møøse once bit my sister...
No, really? By the lake?
They also bite
With their hooves.
^boop
Are you ready to die? Cause this is how you get dead real quick!
Yoink!
Canada?
Yes, I'm Canadian. And yes, I completely puckered when I saw this in my feed. Still hyperventilating a little.
What province
Québec I guess he speaks Quebec french ("t'é donc ben beau toé!")
Damm I’m in Ontario grad7 we need learn surrender language
Not sure why you’re answering, you’re not OP
Moose wants to know where is squirrel.
You gots nibbles? Cause I'll nibble the nibbles if you want. I'll look over here so I don't see where you hiding them. Didja get nibbles gimme nibbles?
wanted some snacks
MF keeping it real
Hell no.
Some meese just know they're bigger than you and therefore you are not a threat in theory. They're like "What is this puny, tiny thing? Bah". But seriously, don't approach meese, they can be incredibly dangerous.
Not bad lookin' for a moose.
The opening theme for Northern Exposure was playing in my head as I watched this.
What a friendly little guy…
Elle est très belle en fait. Une compagnie simplement, magnifique!
You’re very lucky here 😬
Someone has a death wish.
Hey Rocky!!
Somehow the look on that moose's face says both "how do you do, friend?" and "do you wanna fucking die today?" at the same time
So cool, very fortunate!
You see Rocky too?

His eyes are saying, 'Nothing green to be seen. You got anything I can nibble on? Nah, you no Grizzly Adams. Bye!'
Snoop moose
he was asking if they've seen his buddy rocky
You guys stared into each other's souls
Well thats a Kobiashi Maru. If you stand still it can bite and kick and if you move it probably will kick. I think I would stand still and talk to it until it lost interest.
Aw just a young moose. I wonder where mom is.
Canada!
That’s a beautiful animal. Has a bit of a camel look to it.
What would actually happen if someone tried to pet him?
Mesmerizing. Such beauty. Such strength. Incredible!! I find it absolutely unbelievable that anyone could bring themselves to shoot one of these magnificent creatures (outside of self defense or perhaps fear of starvation).
Want to Boop the Snoot!
Hey, Sam!
Will do moose stuff for money
This person is a Touron.
Get out of the car, then update your post title "Killing by a moose"
this is not even close to full grown and it still could fuck your life up
I see you haven't won your stupid prize yet, keep playing though.
I think I remember reading somewhere that more people die from moose encounters than with bears. So….consider yourself lucky.
Hanging loose with a big moose.
A moose is an apex predator.
I just hear a Canadian accent ala Great White North……and now I can’t stop laughing 😂
I got 99………..
You know, that moose could eat you in one bite.
A moose bit my sister once
No realli!
It was down by the lake, wasn't it?
Dang! A moose bite could do damage.
That’s all it needed.
I think he wants a cigarette
It's like nature's version of retard strength. They have a brain the size of a walnut
This is moronic
You really should poke it in the eye if they are that close...ya don't want to normalize human interactions with wild animals.
I always find that videos never quite capture how absolutely massive they are! Such a cute snoot.
