Hi Mike, Jay and Rich, I'm the director of Hawk Jones, honored to see it appear on your show! I was 21 when I directed this in Davenport, Iowa in 1985... the movie was shot on 3 1/4 inch video and has since been gaining a small cult audience, and even inspired Childish Gambino to make a song about it called Hawk Jones! Thanks for keeping the film alive.
Interesting Fact: Red Letter Media mainstay Macaulay Culkin actually started out as a childhood actor, appearing in the first two Home Alone movies, before hitting it big as an internet sensation!
These cameos are getting a little stale. You guys are doing fine, you don't need to shoehorn in appearances from Hollywood shill Rich Evans every time you get the chance.
I think they just honestly like him :') and hes available and loves movies. So why not bring him in? Id rather watch him then the olsen twins, or lindsey lohan or (insert childactor name here) honestly :)
"The villain of the film is Noel Marshall" Given that he abused his family so much during the making of this film that Tippi divorced him, yeah, that's probably accurate.
@@neal2399 I thought Shawn had two of the funniest bits in this episode... first was that glance to the camera when the Trek talk started and the other was when he did his impression of the main guy from Winterbeast.
I’m thrilled to see that Hollywood celebrity Rich Evans recovered from his cocaine addiction and briefly returned to his Milwaukee roots to film a silly internet video with his ghetto friends.
the best part is that if you are an avid watcher of redlettermedia you can not only see shawns reaction to it but in your minds eye you'll be able to also see jays reaction to it as well.
This episode solved a 20+ year mystery for me. I remember my dad renting the VHS for Winter Beast when I was a child. We had so much fun laughing at it's awfulness. I have been looking for this movie for a long time but I always thought it was titled Snow Beast. My dad has since passed but you better believe I will be looking for my own copy of Winter Beast and remembering fondly my dad and my love for bad movies. Thank you!
ok i have 2 for yeah. i VIVIDLY REMEMBER BOTH OF THESE one clip was some nerds i think talking to some lady, the nerds needed her to digitize into some game they were making but she couldnt have any cloths on. and after they did whatever the hell the process was the game they showed was some weird early cgi thing of some blue lady with a sword fighting what looked like demonic pokemon. the other was a movie about a woman who got massive breast implants and has a scene where she flashes someone to hitch a ride. i know they arent much to go on but im 26 now and these memories have been gnawing at my mind for years.
Honestly, the deck was pretty stacked in this episode. In most other episodes, I'm sure Hawk Jones would've been a shoe-in. But its hard to compete with goofy claymation monsters and people getting genuinely mauled by lions on film.
List of real injuries in "ROAR": Cinematographer Jan de Bont had his head scalped by a lion while filming under a tarp. The scalping resulted in him receiving 220 stitches. Tippi Hedren received a fractured leg after an elephant bucked her off its back while she was riding it, and also received scalp wounds. She was also bitten in the neck by a lion and required 38 stitches. Melanie Griffith had to receive 50 stitches to her face, and it was feared she would lose an eye. She recovered and was not disfigured. Noel Marshall was attacked so many times that he was eventually diagnosed with gangrene. In one of those incidents, he was clawed by a cheetah when protecting the animals during a bushfire that occurred in 1979. All animals were evacuated though it took several years for him to recover from his injuries. Due to the injuries, turnover was high as many did not want to return to the set. Some of the lions also suffered from illnesses that reduced their population. John Marshall was bitten by one of the lions and required 56 stitches.
@wizardstumpt4467 you are so salty wtf? Maybe he does not want to act? And why are you calling RLM hackfrauds? You are brewing hate my friend, maybe touch some grass and breath fresh air?
@@ffs6158 Unfortunately Robbie was killed in a flood in 1978, along with several other lions and much of the film's production was destroyed. That's partly why it took so long to finish.
Heres another fun fact: one time Noel Marshall was chasing naked one of the Lions in the studio (or open field) and passed through close to some japanese producers pretty much scaring them away (no wonder Tippi divorced that idiot)
@@verklartenacht7827 Is this some conspiracy theory about pizzagate? Are you people calling him a serious perv because he use the term pizza in something? Isnt that a little wacky? I would advise showing evidence when going that far...
@@GnosticAtheist Couldn't help but notice you're atheist and possibly leftist, so it doesn't matter what evidence I pose; it'll be shot down regardless.

That's par the course with pedophiles, no?
@RedLetterMedia Probably commenting too late to be seen, but for the sake of "fun facts": The damp temples on the elephant in "Roar" indicated the male was in a state called "Musth", an annual hormonal rage when his testosterone levels were probably about 60x higher than normal. Male elephants become extremely aggressive and unpredictable during this time of year, and letting him be around people was probably as dumb or dumber than putting actors in a room with 50 untrained lions.
When Mack started geeking out about Star Trek with those hack frauds, I felt like a parent who just met their son’s fiancée and I’m beaming with approval. It’s a match made in heaven.
@@EbonyPope nah its just an RLM in-joke. Mike and Jay used to call themselves "hack frauds" and it caught on in the fanbase. I don't know why they called themselves that, some sort of self deprecating irony, idk.
Yeah, I remember thinking that, the first time I saw Roar. The only cinematic experience that can even compare is Grizzly Man. I mean this is the true source of the instincts that monster films are based on.
I think it would be relatively safe. I mean the lions aren't hungry anymore and, they are normally spectacularly lazy creatures so they'll probably leave you alone
Nishant Singh wild lions might attack you if they think you’re there to steal it though. Wild lions have to protect their kills from Hyenas who often try to steal from them
After watching this episode, all I can think about is shooting a film that's just lions and tigers roaming around an indoor shopping plaza and "interacting" with all the visitors. I think I'll call it 'Shopping Maul'.
I know the word "crazy" is so easy to toss around in Best of the Worst when discussing a filmmaker's vision and methods, but Roar is the first case where I can seriously imagine actual trained psychologists being brought in by authorities to sit people down in a nice, safe, enclosed environment to tell them. "No. You were not shooting a movie. You were helping a madman indulge his unhealthy hobby at the expense of your well-being."
It is like replacing legendary Scottie Pippen, the great Charlotte Hornets basketball player for those that don't know sport references, with bench player from the B.League 国内男子プロバスケットボールリーグ.
I work at a zoo, and the entire time I spent watching any scene from Roar I was cringing and acting like Shawn, since even our keepers, who work with our lions from birth, have gotten injuries.
I love how this can easily be misread as the keepers having been working with lions ever since they themselves were born. Like, the first thing they did after popping out was using their own umbilical cord as a whip to keep lions at bay.
@@vtheyoshi If you look around 1:02:15 you can see it. It's certainly not visible in every shot... not sure if that's due to dust, bathing in the river, camera quality, or a combination of all of them. Or maybe that's just a convenient shadow or wet patch and it's just an aggressive elephant... but the behavior certainly lines up.
I'm calling bullshit! The first time Rich said "Massachusetts," he said it correctly. The caption was not necessary. "Massajujish," however, is pure gold.
Those other 2 movies are the works of fiction, "ROAR" is the work of idiocy, incompetence and madness. You need a separate category for that thing to be honest.
If a year ago, someone told us the most-famous child actor of the ‘80s would become the unofficial sixth member of RLM, and it’d be awesome,... no one would have believed them. It’s like the inverse of a sitcom situation, when the ratings drop and suddenly Rich needs to have a kid brother.
Kind of want Peter Jackson to take a stab at the concept: Basically, him returning to his Roots. (Back when he made CRAZY and CREATIVE stuff like "BrainDead"/"Dead Alive", "Meet the Feebles", and One of the BEST films ever made "The Frighteners")
@@MFSeaMen Edward Scissorhands was definitely meant to be very unnerving at first sight, becoming a sympathetic character because of his sweet character despite your first impressions - and also to juxtapose how the town doesn't acknowledge any of that and accepts him instantly... until just a little bit before the climax.
I love how macaulay culkin totally knows that he's fucking macaulay culkin and doesn't try to hide from his past like so many child stars do. He's a guy who knows his legacy
If that chief doesn’t say, in exasperation, “I’m getting too old for this,” and Hawk Jones doesn’t call his partner “kid,” then they wasted their premise.
"Over 70 of the cast and crew are believed to have been injured during the production of Roar. Because of this, many of the attacks from the animals resulted in real blood from the actors showing up in the final cut of the film. It has been described as the most dangerous film ever made" 80's were great
I had a recurring nightmare as a kid of being locked in the house as a tiger circled the outside and slowly grabbed each family member as they walked out
I had a professor who worked as a production assistant on ROAR!, and he made it sound like the craziest fucking set I've ever heard of. He was only there for a few days, though, because he and his friend got the hell out of there because of the... casualties, I guess, lol.
They had safewords for when they thought something was going out of control so people would rush to help....except the psycho pretended not to hear any of them... He said it himself in an interview years later. Talked about how the poor treatment of the family in the movie was an outlet for his frustrations over the impending divorce. I can't believe they actually finished the movie
I don't remember if they covered it in this but the craziest part of this movie is that there was a fire at the preserve and they lost all the footage five or so years into the making of this. They shot this shit TWICE.
@@theoriginaltommystewardi mean i assume its roar but there are three movies here. The easy thing wouldve been to say "its the movie '___' " Instead you went through the extra effort of being a prick, for no reason lol
I'm amazed no one was killed on Roar. Sure lions might have a soft side, but they are still incredibly dangerous animals that evolved to be excellent at killing things much larger than humans.
I think it's absolutely sickening that RedLetterMedia are exploiting the childhood fame of their friend to get more views on their crappy videos. He may enjoy feeling like "part of the crew" or "one of the guys", but he's clearly above the level of these amateurs, and Rich could work wherever he wants.
I guarantee you, this will be seen as a classic RLM episode in the future. Animal violence, bad child acting, extreme character acting and mannerisms, a Star Trek moment. Just *mwah*
70 people injured might be an overstatement. In 2016, Tippi Hedren said to Variety: "We didn’t have that many. Maybe they’re talking about people who hit their thumb when they were pounding on a nail. In the five years, I think there were seven people that were hurt, but not seriously. When we were making the movie there were a few instances. I was hurt. Melanie [Griffith] was hurt. My then husband [director Noel Marshall] was in the hospital so many times they were going to name a wing after him." From Indiewire: “...cinematographer Jan de Bont was scalped, requiring 220 stitches; Griffith was mauled by a lion, which required facial reconstructive surgery; an A.D. narrowly escaped death when a lion missed his jugular by an inch; Hedren, who was also attacked by birds on the set of “The Birds,” endured a fractured leg and multiple scalp wounds; and Marshall himself was wounded so many times that he was hospitalized with gangrene.”
She's downplaying it because she was complicit in the madness. The word of an insane person means very little. Her stepson, who was also in on the madness, claims it was over 100. Looking at the footage, I'd be way more inclined to believe him.
@@trentb3148 Gilbert Gottfried interviewed her on his podcast, and was clearly trying not to ask her if she was out of her fucking mind when Roar came up
20:06 Id like to point out that D. R. Nanayakkara (the shaman in that scene) is actually a famous actor in Sri Lanka (where that movie was filmed and where the 2nd language is English). He's appeared in both Sinhala and British film, so he knows how to speak English pretty well. Some of the words they had him say aren't Sinhalese or English though so those he did have to pronounce them based on what they told him.
It was a very different time. There’s a 1969 movie called “Shark!” that actually used the death of one of its stuntmen via a real shark attack that was caught on camera as a marketing tool.

I know the word "crazy" is so easy to toss around in Best of the Worst when discussing a filmmaker's vision and methods, but Roar is the first case where I can seriously imagine actual trained psychologists being brought in by authorities to sit people down in a nice, safe, enclosed environment to tell them. "No. You were not shooting a movie. You were helping a madman indulge his unhealthy hobby at the expense of your well-being."

I work at a zoo, and the entire time I spent watching any scene from Roar I was cringing and acting like Shawn, since even our keepers, who work with our lions from birth, have gotten injuries.
I love how this can easily be misread as the keepers having been working with lions ever since they themselves were born. Like, the first thing they did after popping out was using their own umbilical cord as a whip to keep lions at bay.

@@vtheyoshi If you look around 1:02:15 you can see it. It's certainly not visible in every shot... not sure if that's due to dust, bathing in the river, camera quality, or a combination of all of them. Or maybe that's just a convenient shadow or wet patch and it's just an aggressive elephant... but the behavior certainly lines up.
I'm calling bullshit!
The first time Rich said "Massachusetts," he said it correctly. The caption was not necessary.
"Massajujish," however, is pure gold.
Those other 2 movies are the works of fiction, "ROAR" is the work of idiocy, incompetence and madness.
You need a separate category for that thing to be honest.
Oh and overconfidence. Which, as we all know, is a slow and insidious killer.

If a year ago, someone told us the most-famous child actor of the ‘80s would become the unofficial sixth member of RLM, and it’d be awesome,... no one would have believed them.
It’s like the inverse of a sitcom situation, when the ratings drop and suddenly Rich needs to have a kid brother.

Not enough giraffes for it to be made by Don Wilson

Kind of want Peter Jackson to take a stab at the concept:
Basically, him returning to his Roots.
(Back when he made CRAZY and CREATIVE stuff like "BrainDead"/"Dead Alive", "Meet the Feebles", and One of the BEST films ever made "The Frighteners")
No, that would make all the gratuitous feet scenes really uncomfortable.
macaulay culkin is like that dude you let sleep on the couch, just for a night or two and never left.
but you’re super good friends with him and it’s not weird
right. my best friend was suppose to stay for a "night or two". He ended up sleepin on the couch for a whole year lmao

@@MFSeaMen Edward Scissorhands was definitely meant to be very unnerving at first sight, becoming a sympathetic character because of his sweet character despite your first impressions - and also to juxtapose how the town doesn't acknowledge any of that and accepts him instantly... until just a little bit before the climax.
Macuaulay Culkin's arc in these is a lot like Rickety Cricket's in Always Sunny.
I love how macaulay culkin totally knows that he's fucking macaulay culkin and doesn't try to hide from his past like so many child stars do. He's a guy who knows his legacy
Over 70 cast members & crews were harmed, but no one's ever really gone.
If that chief doesn’t say, in exasperation, “I’m getting too old for this,” and Hawk Jones doesn’t call his partner “kid,” then they wasted their premise.
Shawn's impression of that old man was ON POINT. I was looking at something else and didn't realize it was him doing a voice. :D
I thought he was doing an exaggerated Boston clown voice until they played the clip from the movie lol.
Fun Fact: When Rich says McCulkin, that's the only time he misspeaks in all the episodes of BOTW
Rich was simply referencing the classic fall of troy song title

Never saw Snakes on a Plane, but Lions in a House seems way scarier.
I had a recurring nightmare as a kid of being locked in the house as a tiger circled the outside and slowly grabbed each family member as they walked out
You can survive a house of lions if you submit and assume the position, venomous snakes are just a-holes.
Sam Eash I had a similar reoccurring nightmare as a kid! Ain’t that something lol
V4Now They’re scared and can see you before you can see and understand their warning signs, so they tend to strike with what *seems* to be no warning.
The CGI in Roar is incredible. The lions look more photo realistic than The Lion King remake.
I would pay so much money to hear a commentary track for ROAR by Werner Herzog.
Roar walked so Tiger King could run
rewatching this video really made me feel that same fascinated horror about men surrounded by giant cats
I had a professor who worked as a production assistant on ROAR!, and he made it sound like the craziest fucking set I've ever heard of.
He was only there for a few days, though, because he and his friend got the hell out of there because of the... casualties, I guess, lol.
They had safewords for when they thought something was going out of control so people would rush to help....except the psycho pretended not to hear any of them... He said it himself in an interview years later. Talked about how the poor treatment of the family in the movie was an outlet for his frustrations over the impending divorce.
I can't believe they actually finished the movie
Having Rickety Cricket on the show really adds to the atmosphere.
You people need to stop picking on Rich Evans
Rich, Mike, and Macaulay all saying "transporter accident" at the same time was destiny and no one can convince me otherwise.
I don't remember if they covered it in this but the craziest part of this movie is that there was a fire at the preserve and they lost all the footage five or so years into the making of this. They shot this shit TWICE.
Which one, there’s three movies here bud,
@@jazzy4830 I'm not specifying. If you somehow can't figure it out immediately -- I think that would be a good project for you today.

@@hazonku Yeah, true, that could have worked.

"No animals were harmed during filming.

I think it's absolutely sickening that RedLetterMedia are exploiting the childhood fame of their friend to get more views on their crappy videos. He may enjoy feeling like "part of the crew" or "one of the guys", but he's clearly above the level of these amateurs, and Rich could work wherever he wants.

The story of it is batshit insane.
70 people injured might be an overstatement. In 2016, Tippi Hedren said to Variety: "We didn’t have that many. Maybe they’re talking about people who hit their thumb when they were pounding on a nail. In the five years, I think there were seven people that were hurt, but not seriously. When we were making the movie there were a few instances. I was hurt. Melanie [Griffith] was hurt. My then husband [director Noel Marshall] was in the hospital so many times they were going to name a wing after him."
From Indiewire: “...cinematographer Jan de Bont was scalped, requiring 220 stitches; Griffith was mauled by a lion, which required facial reconstructive surgery; an A.D. narrowly escaped death when a lion missed his jugular by an inch; Hedren, who was also attacked by birds on the set of “The Birds,” endured a fractured leg and multiple scalp wounds; and Marshall himself was wounded so many times that he was hospitalized with gangrene.”
"not serious"
What a fucking lunatic
She's downplaying it because she was complicit in the madness. The word of an insane person means very little. Her stepson, who was also in on the madness, claims it was over 100. Looking at the footage, I'd be way more inclined to believe him.

Id like to point out that D. R. Nanayakkara
(the shaman in that scene) is actually a famous actor in Sri Lanka (where that movie was filmed and where the 2nd language is English).
He's appeared in both Sinhala and British film, so he knows how to speak English pretty well. Some of the words they had him say aren't Sinhalese or English though so those he did have to pronounce them based on what they told him.
I was kid when I saw Roar...... you can clearly see people being cut and bit by lions. Im not surprised 70 people were hurt making it.
I'm far more surprised that no one was sued. Or arrested.
It was a very different time. There’s a 1969 movie called “Shark!” that actually used the death of one of its stuntmen via a real shark attack that was caught on camera as a marketing tool.
There were 70 injuries that required medical treatment. If you're counting total injuries, the number was probably in the hundreds.
