THE NASTY RABBIT
See This Tail Made For People Of All Espion-ages
Russian spies secretly infect rabbits with a deadly bacteria, then let them loose in the U.S.
The Nasty Rabbit is a 1964 American comedy film directed by James Landis about Russian spies who infect rabbits with deadly bacteria and release them in the U.S.
The SassyFlix Take
When espionage goes hare-brained, blame the Cold War—and the rabbits.
Why Cult
Russian agents unleash bacteria-infected rabbits in the U.S., turning the spy game into a farce of fur and espionage.
Arch Hall Sr. and Jr. both appear—one as a spy chief and the other as a cowboy hero—adding a family affair to the spy spoof.
A true oddity blending B-movie flair, cult vibes, and a nod to John Wayne for arthouse comedy fans.
From a Russian operative to a cowboy and even a 'Ranch Foreman' played by Richard Kiel, the film is packed with memorable types.
