Hey guys!

I am acting in this movie in Israel and would like to mention that it's more of an action than a comedy. if you any questions feel free to ask.

Hi John!

I have a question about the title; "Hunting Elephants"

I assume it is meant methaphorrically, and the movie is not réally about the illegal hunting and senseless killing of elephants; which, not to forget, is an cruel act of evil crime against wildlife.

I hope you can reassure me! Thanks!

The only elephants in Israel you can find are in a zoo.

The only way to mistake this for an action flick is by somehow managing to not understand any of the humour. Granted, the humor isn't toilet humor, and requires some understanding of current societal/historical knowledge in Israel, but it's still a comedy.

Just watched it in Tel aviv and it's a pure comedy, the action parts was also made to make us laugh (most of the time i didn't laugh).

Just saw it and it's good for lots of laughs. Who did you play? Were you an extra? I don't quite get how we were supposed to know that most of the money was in the car trunk before the "burning". Can you help?
