Pardon
my French but les
gens sont stupides et fous! I just finished watching the 1981 film Roar. I can't
remember the last time a movie made me so damned nervous. Just lions,
cheetahs, tigers, and a few elephants thrown in because people didn't
seem terrified enough. My god. I mean...my god. This movie is about
this guy named Hank that is taking care of a bunch of wild ass
animals. One day while he is gone his family shows up and all hell
breaks loose. He also has this poor Black guy that looks ready to
shit himself in every scene. There is not a single scene where a
giant cat is not biting or climbing on someone.
There
are some scenes that try to be funny but you can only laugh so much
when you see people actually bleeding on camera. The end credits are
hilarious because the animals look all cute and peaceful while they
hold them and feed the babies. No! This guys family almost got mauled
to death and when he finally gets back home its all like “Oh, you
guys can stay a while longer!” He's insane! Everyone is insane!
That being said I'd recommend this movie to everyone because there is
no way in hell a movie like this would ever be made again.
I
started reading about what happened behind the scenes of this. It
cost $17 million and only made $2 million. Over 70 people on set were
hurt including the stars. The cinematographer was scalped. The
star/director/producer Noel Marshall wife, Tippi Hedren aka Melanie
Griffith's mom (she is in this too), fractured her leg after being
bucked by an elephant. Melanie got 50 stitches in her face. Everyone
got fucked up in this movie. But seriously. Watch it.
