So they were not kiddin'. 'ROAR' was hands down the most insane film I have ever seen. Period. And I have seen a lot of films. Only God above knows how they made that movie and left walking on two legs. Wow. That film was completely bonkers dangerous to make and appears to have captured a bizarre 60's counter culture attitude that reckons a 1980's vacation trip to Africa. Bye.
Legendary cinematographer Jan De Bont was scalped by a lion shooting this film…
The most catastrophic delay in filming Roar occurred in 1978, when a tremendous flood almost demolished the compound and killed three lions. The whole production and property took an entire year to recover.
