Roar: The Most Dangerous Film of All Time
Manage episode 363999928 series 2527701
It's Just The Gist - "F*cking White People" Edition; The story of the 1981 film ROAR.
A tale of how a rich naive Hollywood couple spent over a decade making a movie that starred them, their kids and 150 lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, ALLL the big cats. The movie was pitched as a "family comedy", but is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous films of all time.
Roar starred Tippy Hedron (Star of Hitchcock's The Birds and others) her daughter Melanie Griffiths, and the rest of their family.
The plot is broadly "we can save the world/animal kingdom/lions and tigers etc are all big friendly besties who just are misunderstood and we can live with them in harmony". Sounds cute in theory, maybe in adorable cartoons, but filming with 150 big cats gives very different results.
Turns out, big cats gunna big cat; the films credits say no animals were harmed in the making of the movie (lies lol), but they don't say anything about how many PEOPLE were mauled, scalped, attacked, and generally not treated as one would hope to be treated at work.
We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there's this:
