Guest Anonymous Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I went to see that new movie 'kangaroo jack'at the cinema's last week (my sister made me!!!!!),it was a pretty bad movie,but anyway,theres a scene where the stars are supposed to be getting sized up by dingoes. They yell 'ahhh dingoes!!) looking scared,then the camera shows 5 red cattle dogs!!! :o what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk_blue Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 It's that sort of movie that creates cultural cringe for we Aussies! :) A possible explanation for the heelers instead of dingoes is that you wouldn't be able to get real dingoes to do it, not because they're not smart, but because they're wild animals. Or is the movie trying to be funny and the people yelling don't understand that dingoes and heelers are different?? :roll: silly people if they are! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_Debbie Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I didn't actually see the movie , but I did see the previews. My kids thought it looked funny. I won't pay $$$ to see a so-so movie , I just wait till it comes on a movie channel on T.V. :wink: I don't think they used real dingo's, because of course they're wild, so they had to make a substitute. They probably don't think the majority that go to see this movie would know a dingo from a flamingo !! :lol: , so therefore used what they thought looked the closest to them..... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadyLady Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 A freind of mine had dingos and they are not the type of dog that is easy to train also once off the lead their noses take over . They are incredible escape artists too !! It was pretty pathetic movie but had a few good laughs :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Debbie Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I agree the previews looked funny, but at the price the Cinema's want for a ticket $$$ !!! :o It cost's us $26 , just to get in to the movie and that doesn't include a popcorn or a drink ! :( So unless it's Oscar nominated material..... I can wait !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieangel Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I agree debbie it's cheaper to buy the dvd than for us to go as a family :roll: so if we really want to see it we buy it !!! I would rent but thats 1/3 of the price of the movie anyway !!! :Dog_run: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiger Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 They could use Shibas as dingoes - but I don't know how they'd get the curl out of their tails. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Where i live which is in the bush,not really the outback but I live in property,our neighbours actually own dingoes as pets.There very trainable and perform lots of tricks.Maybe thats why i thought it was so outrageous,because i have first hand experience with dingoes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieangel Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 They obviously couldn't be bothered to any real research in then could they :roll: If you know of trainable dingoes then there must be more of them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk_blue Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 There is a dingo "farm" here in aust, more a sanctuary really: [url]http://www.wwwins.net.au/dingofarm/13.html[/url] Actually I think I should check it out sometime, it's not that far out of town. I am going to go when there are puppies!!!! Knowing me I would want to take them all home with me :roll: From what I have heard dingoes are very intelligent creatures and they would probably train up very well. Some states you need permits to own them, some states you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieangel Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Thanks for the link bk shame I'm on the other side of the world it looks like a wonderful place! I have an Uncle just outside Brisbane without getting my map out I have no idea where the 2 places are in comparison. He is always nagging us to come over so maybe if we ever do we'll have to pay this place a visit !! He tells me internal flights are quite reasonable anyway !!

bk_blue Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 [quote name='ellieangel'] He tells me internal flights are quite reasonable anyway !![/quote] Ellie, sometime in June I think Virgin are doing a $49 flights special- it's only for four days though and involves several major cities. That's like about 25-30 euros or maybe about 15 pounds!!! :o To fly from Hobart to Melbourne for example... very VERY cheap!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
