Ted Cassidy (The Addams Family’s Lurch) worked on the screenplay for Roar. He had previously done screenplay work on 1973’s The Harrad Experiment, which was based on Robert Rimmer’s once infamous, now largely forgotten, sex novel of the same name. Both Harrad and Roar starred Tippi Hedren, so I would guess Cassidy met her on the first film which led to his work on the second.
No wait… Standard BB reply “I wouldn’t wish violence etc… on someone else or anything, so this is actually horrible.”
My response: NO IT’S NOT!!! This is awesome. Finally, score one for the underdog (or underfeline in this case). If you don’t want to get eaten, don’t go poaching lions.
Trainwreck is an understatement. From the very beginning you can see the actors are having difficulties with the big cats and very nervous around them.
Oh I agree, but it’s not like I’m going to bring the scorecard over to the lions and ask for confirmation. In the case of counting “devoured by lions” I shall accept third-party confirmations, AND ONLY third party confirmations.
