Roar: The Most Dangerous Movie Ever Made?

The podcast delves into the making of "ROAR," a 1981 film considered one of the most dangerous ever made. It details how Tippi Hedren and Noel Marshall, driven by a passion for animal welfare, conceived the film to promote goodwill towards wild animals. The hosts discuss the couple's decision to raise numerous big cats, including lions and tigers, in their home and on a ranch, aiming to film them in natural interactions with actors. The production faced numerous challenges, including a lack of funding, a non-existent script, and the inherent dangers of working with untrained wild animals, resulting in numerous injuries to the cast and crew. Despite its noble intentions, "ROAR" became a financial disaster and a testament to the perils of mixing filmmaking with unpredictable wildlife.
