    Roar was actually a horror movie, the plot is that the lions turn on the humans and hunt them off one by one. You also didn’t mention how one of their daughters needed facial reconstruction surgery after being mauled by one of the tigers, after already leaving set in fear once and being convinced by her parents to come back. Truly insane story.

    At 14:40 you're not wrong; That's Tippi Hedren getting her ankle actually snapped in half by Tembo. In the scene, she starts letting out these really loud and pained screams, and apparently that was the moment Tembo broke her ankle, and they kept it in the film. Not only that but afterwards she ended up getting gangrene from the injuries.

    Fun fact: Raising wild animals alongside humans INCREASES the risk of attacks, because it conditions them to view humans as slower weaker members of their own species and not as a potential predator. They (generally) won't attack the humans they live with, because they'll (usually) have imprinted on them as family (assuming the humans don't behave in ways that would provoke aggression within the animal's family unit), but you know how your dog reacts when the mailman is at the door? Imagine that but with tigers.

    True story: Tippi Hedren’s most noteworthy movie is Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” which has a scene where she is attacked by crows, ravens, gulls and other birds. Because this was the 60s, the way they shot it was by having crew members FLING ACTUAL BIRDS AT HER. She almost lost an eye and called that part of the shoot the worst week of her life…and then 10-15 years later decided that shooting Roar without any safety precautions was a good idea.

  • @Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice

    I just watched "Nope" the other day so this hits hard. The takeaway from this is NOT that animals are aggressive though... Those lions probably didn't even want to hurt any of the humans. The problem is a very simple one that constantly gets overlooked: Humans are fragile!!!
    We're so technologically advanced and so free of natural predators that we get very comfortable around most animals which is fine, but we don't often get the chance to really FEEL how BIG and POWERFUL and SHARP and HEAVY some animals are... Even people's doting and loyal domestic animals will leave them scratched and bruised simply by accident.
    Imagine the little scratches your tabby gives you, but sized up 10x. The playful, woundless bites from your german shepherd, but with the bite force of industrial machinery.
    Plus, we all get short of temper sometimes. All of us. You and me, and our beloved pets, ants, chickadees, foxes.... we all lash out sometimes, or throw away grace and caution sometimes. It's inevitable. So what happens when a lion has just ONE moment of frustration and does something petty or rude, just for a moment... This could be a lion who is normally an angel. Nothing has changed. Bad moods are simply inevitable. And a bad mood with a clawed paw as big as your face.... It's the SIZE.
    We are fragile. We are the wimpy nerds of the animal kingdom. Thin skulls hold more brains than thick skulls. Our limbs are for going places and using things, not for bodily combat. We only need thick enough skin to protect us from bushes and gravel. When we have the chance, we're great at healing, changing, outsmarting, enduring... as a species. But as individual beings, we almost exclusively rely on circumstance.
    Even animals who are TRYING TO AVOID hurting us will find it as difficult as us playing baseball with a christmas ornament.
    We. Are. Fragile.
    Asking a being much much bigger and stronger than us to treat us with a velvet glove 100% of the time, is an unfair expectation.
    There is a reason you don't let the toddler play with the parakeet.

    • @Midnightstar2675
      @Midnightstar2675 Před rokem +118

      This was written so well, you are a hundred percent right. Just because we are smart enough to capture and contain large animals doesn’t mean that we are apex predators in the physical biological sense. We didn’t survive by wrestling big cats and large animals one on one, we survived by group hunting and fleeing predators.
      Our biggest evolutionary achievements sacrificed hardiness and toughness for social and intellectual growth. Big animals can hurt us just by sitting on us.
      Even if the big animal is playing, if you’re suddenly being crushed or stabbed or clawed what do you do? Push them? Provoke them? Hurt them back? They’re not trying to hurt you but they have super thick skin and rely on animals of their own species to be able to tussle when play gets too rough to tell them to knock it off
      People need to respect how powerful teeth and claws and sheer muscle are and stop assuming that animals are as empathetic and understanding as humans (such as even being able to comprehend when someone is in pain). It’s all too common for people to get brutally hurt when they treat any animal like a toy, much less animals that could snap a person in half by accident

      @@Midnightstar2675 Thank you, and exactly!
      As an example supporting what you're saying, I heard from horse people, that if a horse steps on your foot, it can completely crush your bones, and not even KNOW that they're on your foot. You're supposed to pinch them, extremely hard, with your whole hand, to let them know to step off.
      They said, don't be scared of hurting the horse. Really pinch them hard. Because amongst themselves, they bite eachother in those circumstances. And you have no chance of hurting a horse more than another horse. And horses are famously intelligent, social, and empathetic! We're simply alien to eachother. That's why knowledge and safety protocol go a long way.
      Ironically, cats are very good at this. They're little scientists. They study us and come up with their own safety protocol, like being loud when underfoot, and moving away quickly when we begin to relocate ourselves. They also adjust various aspects of their speech to mimic ours to make sure we can hear them, and some even learn a few words in english, although the cat mouth is not suited for it. When humans put as much effort into cats as they do into us, the communication becomes very effective.
      It's a shame many people find it unintuitive and then never bother learning. Imagine having a cat, constantly being told by the cat that they love you very much, and still thinking the cat is a cold asshole.
      Anyway. In general, interspecies communication is a fascinating topic and there's so much more to learn in the future. I look forward to it.

      i partially agree with you, but i also strongly disagree. the way you wrote it made it sound like you’re trying to say that they never want to hurt anybody or they never mean to hurt anyone and they’re just trying to play, when that is very untrue.
      not to mention, they were NOT PLAYING. the humans were egging the lions on to provoke a reaction or an attack. and, as much as i love animals, they are aggressive. you cannot go and get super close to a lion and touch all over it, especially untrained, and not expect it to be uncomfortable.
      there’s no need to make animals seem innocent or pure, it’s just nature.

    I remember watching the Cinema Snob's review of this movie. At one point the elephant is supposed to pull them out of the water or something, but instead he crushes their boat (iirc) and it's really obvious that the actors are terrified but have to play it off as going according to the script. Insane.

    This reminds me of an old "Wizard of Oz" movie from 1939. The hazards that the actors faced were numerous. Just from a quick google search: the Lion costume was so hot the actor was overheating, the Tin Man costume was toxic, the wich was burned by a device making smoke effects because of a trapdoor failure, the main actress was pretty much starving, and on caffeine and ciggarettes so she wouldn't gain weight and wouldn't act sleepy during night sessions, and the snow they used in some scenes was made from asbestos (and so were some props). As you might have guessed, this one caused a lot of hospital visits...

    I haven’t finished the video yet so I don’t know if Danny touches on this but their claims that no animals were harmed are almost guaranteed to be false. It was the 1970s, back then zoos didn’t even know as much as they do now about taking care of these animals, and these were just random people with no qualifications. You can bet that the conditions the animals lived in were poor and their diets were wrong and their overall health was probably really bad. They were probably incredibly stressed 100% of the time too. Maybe there wasn’t any direct abuse of the animals, but everything about the poor organization of this film tells me that these animals were not given proper care and they lived very uncomfortable lives. I’m sure no one was actively trying to hurt them, but they were still abusing them

He was played by Kenyan actor Kyalo Mativo, who wisely refused to go anywhere near the lions, and was thus one of the only people working on the film who didn't get injured. There's a great bit of behind the scenes footage of Mativo saying "where I come from - I'm African - we don't get close to lions. We don't cuddle them, we don't kiss them, we don't do that."

    "Nope" coming out before this re-release is iconic. Peele makes such a huge statement on humans exploiting animals for spectacle and turning tragedy around animal exploitation into spectacle.

    • @Bluey306
      @Bluey306 Před rokem +165

      not to mention one of Jupe's problem is the fact that because of his (skewed) memory of what happened with the chimpanzee costar (thinking that the chimp was reaching out for a fist bump after killing/maiming everyone else), Jupe acts and believes like he has a special connection - and can form a special connection - with a wild animal. like a Disney princess. and it's often this belief that leads to the exploitation of these animals, making a spectacle out of it, as if they are on a higher plane of existence. this is contrasted with OJ who is good with horses because he understands that they are fundamentally wild animals, and in order to "tame" them you have to get to _their_ level, and even then it doesn't necessarily mean you have a "special connection" with them - just that you now know how to navigate with the animal and co-exist.
      it's what i get a lot from these people like the creators of "Roar", that they think that just because of something nice that happened with a wild animal or they raised it when they were cuddly cubs, that they have a unique and human connection with the animals. and it's like -- no!! not when you raise them or view them from human standards! calling them "wild animals" isn't """dehumanizing""" or """degrading""" them (real talk some people have this issue with the terminology) - that's literally what they are and you're doing absolutely zero favours to everyone by not _seeing_ that said animals can in fact destroy you in a heartbeat if you don't pay attention to how they function _as their own species._

    “The couple believed that raising both the big cats and their own offspring under the same roof would minimize the risk of cast members being attacked when shooting on the film,”
    So basically they thought that if they left their child with the lions, they would have a Disney princess relationship with them?

      That doesn't even work because if ons of the children is disturbed by adults then the lion could've attacked. And it's very possible the lion got a taste of blood somehow and started mauling people.

      If Tippi Hedren at her worst was never worse than her husband on a good day, then she probably never focused on herself (e.g., her thoughts, feelings, and behaviors).
      Maybe she felt insecure from constantly being in the public eye. Maybe she had unresolved trauma from the abuse she experienced in the film industry.
      But who cares about that when he husband is getting into arguments with people or has caused another animal attack on set? No time to worry about herself, she's got to do damage control for her husband!

He did something similar to what these movie producers did, turning his home into an exotic animal rescue sanctuary and hand-rearing dangerous animals. He would sometimes transport animals for movie shots, and his best friend Zamba was literally the MGM lion. But his writings never mention anyone getting hurt. His bond with his animals was exceptional and he took training and safety seriously. He had a big ass bed made so he could still sleep next to his buddy Zamba when he was getting bigger.

While they can become accustomed to humans and even trained, they cannot be tamed. They are wild animals, not pets, their natural instincts are way stronger than something like dogs and they will act on them. This doesnt mean that they’ll hunt people, most lions aren’t man killers naturally, but they will play rough or get excited/frightened and lash out

According to my mum, she mostly spent her time talking about how Hitchcock ruined her career. One time they needed a folding table for something actually useful, and remembering Hedren's little trailer setup had a table, they rode over there on motorbikes and grabbed it while she wasn't around.

      to be fair hitchcock did ruin her career, he was really abusive towards people who worked for him and he literally threw birds to attack her for his film "the birds" (which makes this all the more baffling, that someone traumatized by animal attacks would make a film that basically is just entirely animal attacks) but yeah, i guess this is just further proof that someone can be both a victim and an awful person (assuming this is true)

      I had no idea she was such a pos. My heart goes out to Melanie. I had not idea until today that she basically tortured animals in this film and let her daughter be mauled. What a pos.

    I have a feeling that if danny made a movie, the end credits would be “this video is over now”

    There's a Vice documentary about the exotic animal trade in the US. In it they interview a guy who works in a big cat rescue center. Hearing about how the producers bought and raised lion cubs in their house reminded me of what the guy said at the start of the video:
    "Most of the people that say 'I want to buy a tiger' are what you could classify as impulse buyers. People who say: 'If I raise it from a cub it won't bite me, will it? I can housebreak it if it grows up in my house. It will never eat my children'."
