Their WILD Animals…NOT Actors???
MORE PLANE DISASTERS PLEASE😀
Weird film … no wonder it was not a success. They could have done so much better.
This is what happens when jackasses think that wild animals are just meant to "play with".
And they got animals killed.
Wow never knew this about tippi and Melanie amazing things didn’t turn out so much worse …
Cursed from the beginning …RIP to the 3 big cats who lost their lives due Human stupidity!
Kind of makes me laugh when ppl get attacked by animals. This coming from someone who practically speaks animal. 😂
I've heard of Method acting, but… having a big cat's jaws locked on one's head is giving too much to art.
The level of ignorance and callous indifference to the best interests of the animals they supposedly wanted to help is just so sad.
What a waste of money 😂 and the film aint even good 😮
They coulda jusr made an animation….
WAIT, ROAR WAS INTENDED TO BE A COMEDY?
Gotta point out: Anyone who owns a regular domesticated house cat who's on the rowdier side knows that those tiny little babies are already mini killing machines with very painful teeth and claws. The idea of hanging around 40 of the big ones while trying to make a movie is absurd.
The inclusion of the word "unfortunately" regarding the killing of these animals seems like pandering to people sensitive to animal's rights to exist versus their fellow species.
So basically it was a shit show
I felt bad at the start for the film not going well for them but then when I heard they bought wild animals to raise for the film all that went away. What a joke
Funniest fascinating horror I've watched so far, basically a story of two privileged brats
Omg, where do you find this stuff 😅
Holy crap. Who thought this was a good idea. 😂😬
If I had a dollar for every time I've seen/heard "passionate about wildlife/conservation" followed by an absolutely unhinged animal neglect or abuse story…
Tippi got tired of being chased by birds so she went right into big predators
Shameful . These are wild animals not show puppets
Yeah….. zero sympathy for people who get attacked by animals in circumstances like this. If you're too stupid to leave wild animals alone, ya get what you deserve.
Hard to believe these 2 idiots thought this could possibly be a good idea for a film.
Melanie Griffith, the great lion tamer. UD.
Is Tippi Hedron the inspiration of the phrase, "Crazy cat lady"?
After the first 2 'near fatal' injuries you listed I think they should have called it a day…
Happy animals playing with you. Dozens of happy animals playing with you… not so good…
It seemed like a good idea at the time….
I dunno though, could this really be considered the most dangerous movie when there was that twilight zone movie where three people were literally decapitated?? Obviously this one had more injuries but…3 DECAPITATIONS?? That was one hell of an unsafe set.
A nice summary 👍 I watched a documentary about this a few years ago. Mental what went on!!
What a disaster on so many levels 😮
ROAR couldnt hold a lit match to any of the Star Wars movies' beasts of burden. Especially Clone Wars.
