What critics compared The Ghost and the Darkness to
But Bud's aiming (like Seth) for the quick, easy bucks -- he wants to work for Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas: A Perfect Murder, The Ghost and the Darkness ), who's either a genius financier, if you ask Bud, or a "two-bit pirate," according to Gekko's rival, Sir Larry Wildman (Terence Stamp: The Phantom Menace, Bowfinger ).
In my favorite del Toro film, Mimic , its scary creatures frightened me almost as much as the terrifying lions in The Ghost and the Darkness .
