Roar Was An All-Around Moronic Idea

Filmways

Completed in 1981, Roar is about a family who is attacked by wild animals while visiting the secluded home of an animal researcher. While the idea for the film wasn't necessarily outrageous, the fact that they used real predatory animals was. To turn their dream into a reality, the filmmakers brought in tigers, lions, leopards, and other wild animals, shooting the movie on a ranch where they coexisted with the animals.

Throughout its 11-year production, over 70 members of the cast and crew were seriously injured by the animals. The filmmakers themselves almost died from incidents such as scalpings, bone fractures, and gangrene. To this day, it is considered the most dangerous movie of all time, not receiving a North American release until 2015.
