History Film / Hatari

* ChivalrousPervert: The Indian is mentioned making passes at the nurses, and asks Sean who Dallas "belongs" to, but never actually harasses anyone. He also takes care of Sean, never taking his jibes personally.

* ChivalrousPervert: The Indian is mentioned making passes at the nurses, and asks Sean who Dallas "belongs" to, but never actually harasses anyone.

* RhinoRampage: Rhinos killed a Belgian worker and Brandy's father, and one gores the Indian in the beginning, leading the Indian to wonder if they've been jinxed with rhinos. Downplayed in that they're not shown as vicious or even confrontational (the rhinos prefer to run away than attack), but as dangerous wild animals reacting to being cornered and restrained.

* BloodBrothers: Chips and the Indian joke about this when the Indian arrives, since Chips gave a blood donation to him. The Indian just quips "Not until I give you some back!".

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Nearly every member of the cast. A few are justified in that they are multinational and most of their nicknames derive from their real names being hard to pronounce for people with different accents.

** Chips' real name is Charles Maurey. They found it unpronounceable, and sometimes dub him "The Frenchman" in honor of the Indian.

* BloodBrothers: Chips and the Indian joke about this when the Indian arrives.
* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: Averted. Chips is a BloodKnight and if anything doesn't know when to back down.

* BedmateReveal: Dallas' introduction is a play on this. Sean goes into his room, takes his boots off, and she wakes up and tells him that she's in his bed. It's perfectly innocent (she arrived late, and so she just picked a random bed to use), but the guys lampshade the implications.

** Featuring an international cast

* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: When [[spoiler:Pockets]] falls off a fence, [[spoiler:Brandy]] immediately rushes to his side, acting far more tender with him than with [[spoiler: Kurt and Chips]] earlier and treating him while holding his hand. Subverted in that it's heavily implied that she had feelings for him beforehand, and saw him being injured as an opportunity.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* GreatWhiteHunter: Sean

* VitriolicBestBuds: Again, Kurt and the Frenchman.

* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: Very luckily played straight, as all the animals in the chase scenes are actually wild and untrained and the actors themselves do the catching. As far as we know, no animals or people were injured, but the scene where they catch the zebra had to be dubbed over due to John Wayne's cursing.

''Hatari!'' is a 1962 Creator/HowardHawks film about a team of animal catchers in UsefulNotes/{{Tanzania}}. LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, each with their own background.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** Near the end, [[spoiler:Sean and Dallas]] are pretty obviously engaging in foreplay when they're interrupted.
** Pockets accidentally tries to milk a ram.

* Pockets (Red Buttons), a former New York cabbie, the team joker, who prefers to stay away from the animals as they scare him. Also has a thing for Brandy. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Has his pockets full of stuff]].

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Kurt only warms up to Chips after he defeats him in a shooting contest. Chips punching him at the end seems to have added to it.

* BookEnds: Catching the rhino.

** Set in Tanganyika (modern-day Tanzania), and shot on location

* BilingualBonus: Set in Tanganyika (modern-day Tanzania) and featuring a multinational cast, this crops up now and then.

''Hatari!'' is a Creator/HowardHawks film about a team of animal catchers in UsefulNotes/{{Africa}}. LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, each with their own background.

Howard Hawks decided not to use a plot for the movie, instead letting the characters develop and tying it together with BookEnds. The cast mostly averts FakeNationality (except for Sean and Luis. The Indian is also played by an American, but not [[UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans a Native one]]), and as a result a lot of the actors aren't on this wiki. Check TheOtherWiki for details.

* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: Averted. Chips' first scene has Kurt punch him, the rest of the gang hold Kurt back, and Chips diving back in despite being outnumbered. For the record, no cheese is in the movie either.
