Green Elephant (1999)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Two men are being imprisoned in a dirty cellar with sewer pipes running through it. The reason for their imprisonment isn’t clear but there is a mention of impending execution. There are two other characters who appear later, the Captain holding them and his mentally broken slave who claims to be a Colonel.

The first half of the film is mostly dialogue driven and hilarious as the older fat prisoner deliriously drifts from one anecdote to another, driving the younger guy to despair. Keeping time with the incessant talk is a constant drip from a leaky pipe that offers no letup in a scenario where you’d normally imagine silence is a freely available commodity.

The fat one seems to be genuinely insane, a fact the younger guy takes a while to comprehend. He kind of represents hope as he tries to keep it together while the fat guy rambles on and on even indulges in some scat fun. It could well be that they are really not guilty of any crime but are merely objects in some perverse fantasy of the Captain. Eventually, it’s the second half that throws up extreme gore action as the younger prisoner finally snaps.

The Green Elephant is shot in a home video style. This initially confuses you into thinking there is a third presence recording the conversations especially when the fat prisoner talks about ‘people’ in their cellar. This though seems unlikely and the home-video style possibly was used to convey a certain mood and dysfunctionality of the whole situation.

Favourite Scenes:
1. The conversations in the first half are hilarious and brilliant. What makes it funnier is, though the younger prisoner is forever asking the fat guy to shut the fuck up, he occasionally ends up asking questions to clarify the rubbish that’s being spouted. It’s like he’s been drawn into the madness and can’t help but pay attention to his insane cellmate.

2. The scat scene:
Before he takes a dump, the fat prisoner sort of offers his plate to his sleeping partner and seems genuinely excited about what he’s about to indulge in.

3. The use of the Captain’s windpipe like a sort of trumpet as they break into song.

Well, if you came to this website to see a fucked up movie, it doesn’t get much more fucked up than this one. I wanted to laugh and vomit at the same time. Never seen anything like it before. All EUM viewers should be required to watch this. 3 stars.

At about 22 minutes remaining, when they began attacking the captain, a metal song began playing. It sounded like a sped up version of Slaughtered by Pantera with the gain cranked up. Anybody else know if that’s what it was, or is it just a similar sounding track? Pantera rules and I think it would be awesome if that’s what it was.

Sometime last year I watched part of some weird mixtape that contained an extremely gory subtitled movie scene involving a person’s windpipe. It had me disturbed and amused at the same time. I’m glad to finally know what that crazy shit was from, and knew it was likely to be on this site. This ultra-low budget movie about shellshock, stir-craziness, filth, desperation, and homicidal rage is right at home here, to say the least.

One of the greater movies of Russian psychedelic cinema. The gore that masks the real context of the movie forces viewers to look more deep into the events while filtering crowds of ingorance. The acting is on point with a few moment that are just out right goofy. The camera work reminds of the early home-made movies, although i think a fixed camera for the prison cell might have been better. I recommend visiting the website shown at the end of the movie for more detail. Overall a classic movie!

Any one else went to site shown at end? I did and lol I am still confused on what I watched I dont think this movie has any thing to do with military honestly I think it was a expierement for there mentally challanged and ones with anger issues like I felt like dealing with anger issues in the past my self I could see why the blood thirsty dude went crazy like how he did and I have a mentally challanged cousin and yeah he plays with his poop and I am glad I never seen him do any of that though. LIKE IDK how to describe what I just watched feels like what they would do to break them kind of people and well they broke alright but probably not in the way they wanted it seemed like they wanted to drill info in there head at shortest time.? IDK And his poo did look like a crossiant bread roll on the plate made me think did this dude smuggle in some bread ?… Well still better what USA does just throw them on the front line for human shields like when they would draft people they actually know better to not get full metal jacket XD Sorry for confusing comment this movie just has me a bit brain dead XD thanks for sharing Admin like all these other epic movies FUCK CENSORSHIP! 🙂

I believe without knowing the Russian history since 1917 and also the trauma that nation had suffered after collapse of soviet union, judging and understanding of this movie is impossible. It had a lot to do with the brutal soviet culture, trauma after collapse and also the not knowing future of the whole Eastern bloke. I have lived many years in pre and post soviet union and still don’t get this movie, however I can confirm that life is not a celebration over there. Also no female was playing any role in a movie directed by a woman. That’s a big issue.
