Roar: The Most Dangerous Movie Ever Made | The Strange Truth

What makes Roar so unique is that you will never see people in close proximity with animals. I mean, in with them, touching them every day was life and death. You would never be allowed to do that now. Good God, how to describe Roar?

Most films you talk about, maybe the plot, where you talk about, you know, the action sequences. Roar is a thing unto itself. It is almost a series of dailies strung together in which something goes horribly wrong in every single shot. Roar was so dangerous because nobody had ever attempted to have a hundred and fifty lions and tigers and leopards and cougars in close proximity without trainers.

I can't imagine what the script must have looked like because every time somebody starts to deliver a line, a lion attacks them. Typically, the rule is that you have to have two trainers for every lion. That would mean we need 300 trainers; there just weren't that many people that were willing to do this.

There's Robbie; he's the boss. I worked for him, directed and wrote it, and he's one of the stars. He wanted to use our family because we all acted. We're here.

I played the son, John Denton. Tippi were married, so Tippy's my stepmother. What is that supposed to mean? And Melanie Griffith is my stepsister. How could you be away from Dad for so long?
