I’m telling you, these Syfy original movies just write themselves…

I dunno, that one’s got more of a Monty Python feel to me. “I’ve got got a bloody ferret, and I’m not bloody afraid to use it!”
That confrontation makes the ferret a “special weapon” under Florida law. So Bolton also faces battery charges for dangerously wielding the animal.

That. Is. AWESOME.
I have owned several ferrets, and my family is familiar with their antics. I can think of no less terrifying animal. I guess if you’d never seen a ferret up close you might not know what it is capable of. Our first pair of ferrets were very keen on stealnig socks. Our latest ferret preferred pens.
I think there is a sport where you try to keep a ferret in your pants as long as possible.
I hadn’t seen a SyFy “original” movie in years. Then a couple of weeks back I watched the amazingly boring and incompetent earthquake movie starring Brittany Murphy! (WTF?) I’d say that any movie based on a homeless guy threatening people with a live ferret he keeps in his pants would be far more entertaining than the average SyFy “original” movie.
It’s that damn movie Beastmaster. It’s inspired several generations of ferret hooliganism.
@Sandy Petersen: Yeah, a fair number of animals in the mustelidae family can really be quite vicious; ferrets, badgers, wolverines, etc. As silly as it sounds, I actually WOULD give someone “armed” with a ferret a pretty wide berth.
The general concept seems similar to The Uninvited. “He might seem like a harmless homeless person but any who are fooled will have a nasty suprise when they invite him in … The Uninvited 2, comming soon to SyFy.”
“Hey, handsome, is that a ferret in your pants or AIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!“
I am well aware that mustelids can be mean. I am sayhing that FERRETS, which I’ve kept for years, are peculiarly inept in the threatening-human department. This is independent of how terrifying a pair of, say, otter-chucks would be.
A housecat can do far more damage than any ferret. Trust me. I’ve tried to bathe both species.
And I mean “otter-chuck” in the sense of “nunchaku”
I don’t know. I’ve been nearly tickled to death by a couple of rampaging ferrets. Those little dancing happy feet will get you every time.
