A 25‐year‐old man developed classical hydrophobic rabies 3 months after being bitten on the face. We present his involuntary movements on videotape and discuss the clinical and epidemiological features of rabies. Though rabies is seen in tropical countries commonly and in North America occasionally, recording of the clinical features is rare.
