History NightmareFuel / TheJungleBook2

* A more minor example is hinted at when Mowgli's adoptive father, the village's leader, scolds him for trying to cross the river into the jungle and reveals massive scars on his arm that are all but stated to be claw marks from a tiger. His own traumatic experience in the jungle is not further elaborated on, but it's clear that his AngerBornOfWorry is not without merit.

-->'''Shere Khan''': No matter how fast you run, no matter where you hide, I ''will'' catch you. Come out, come out, wherever you are...

-->'''Shere Khan''': No matter how fast you run, no matter where you hide, I ''will'' catch you.

-->'''Village Leader:'' Mowgli, the jungle is a dangerous place… ''(rolls up his sleeve)'' I should know.

-->'''Shere Khan''': No matter how fast you run, no matter where you hide, I ''will'' catch you.

'''Kaa''': Oh... Oh...Well, he's not in the village. (''Shere Khan tightens his grip on Kaa's neck'')\\

** Getting Creator/TonyJay to reprise his role from ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' was a fittingly terrifying choice, as he manages to capture George Sanders' sophisticated take on the character while his ''own'' baritone brings a chilling vibe similar to that of [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Frollo]].

'''Kaa''': Well, b-b-but I-I-I don't! (''Shere Khan grabs him by the throat'')\\

'''Shere Khan''': I know here he isn't. Now tell me...[[PunctuatedForEmphasis where...he...IS!]]\\

* Shere Khan interrogates a terrified Kaa on Mowgli's whereabouts while Kaa ''truthfully'' has ''no idea'' where Mowgli is. But the tiger won't believe him and continues to threaten the python.
Realizing Shere Khan won't believe him, Kaa quickly gives the tiger the first guess that comes to mind, allowing him to flee.

** Tigers, lions and bears, pretty much any predator that realizes that humans are comparatively slow and weak have a tendency to do this, especially when they've lost their hunting grounds to humans. Of course, it then becomes NightmareFuel for them when the humans get pissed and start culling their numbers.

Realizing Shere Khan won't believe him, Kaa has to think of something before the tiger crushes him in his strong grip. So Kaa fearfully lies to him that Mowlgi's at the swamp, allowing him to flee...

* The NoHoldsBarredBeatdown given by Shere Khan to the goofy vulture Lucky is as violent as Disney gets, even if it's done via GoryDiscretionShot. It's even implied that Shere Khan ''kills'' him. [[spoiler: [[DisneyDeath He reappears in the end of the film]], but still...]]

** There's more: since he just swallowed a large rock, he wouldn't have gotten very far by the time Shere Khan found out he was lying. Fortunately for Kaa, he went straight after the kid...

* In general, Shere Khan is ''far'' less AffablyEvil than he was in the first movie. His entire motivation in this film is mainly the same as it was before, what with him [[WouldHurtAChild trying to kill a man cub]]. However, unlike before where it was so Mowgli wouldn't be a threat to him when he's older, this time, he is ''out for Mowgli's blood'' for humiliating him back then. Because of that, every scene with him in it has a sense of dread.

* While fleeing from Shere Khan, Mowgli eventually comes across an abandoned temple surrounded by a river of ''lava''. He narrowly manages to jump across the gap of lava retreat into the temple just as Shere Khan leaps across.

-->'''Shere Khan''': You seem surprised to see me, Man Cub. (''chuckles'') I can't imagine why. (''he slowly walks in a circle around the trio'') I wasn't going to let you get away with what you did to me. You see, you humiliated me, Man Cub. Surely you do realize I simply can't let you live.

-->'''Shere Khan:''' [[SlasherSmile Isn't it ironic that your name is "Lucky"...]]

* Mowgli tries to apologize to Shanti and Ranjan for his scare prank as they stand petrified... only for Shanti to point in terror at something right behind Mowgli. He turns around and gasps when he sees Shere Khan emerge from the shadows.

* Early on, Shere Khan actually sneaks into the man village so he can get his revenge on Mowgli. This is an actual TruthInTelevision as tigers have been known to enter villages and kill people when asleep, and it's really scary.
