I think this could be the best bad movie - EVER! There's no way in hell that something like this can ever be made again, so it's something special or that reason. It's a snapshot into a time in history before we - as a society - knew better, made shit up as we went along & rarely learnt from our mistakes. It's pretty obvious what happened here: they had an idea for a movie, location, desperate or ignorant suckers for crew & cast, and a bunch of less-than-tame big cats. Wrote the outline of a "script" on the way in, rewrote like mad on the set around whatever the cats wanted to do, and "fixed it in post". Knowing there was no budget or know-how for "special effects" makes it all the more WTAF! I have no doubt there was cocaine involved. A LOT of coke. Some of that might've been the lions' share (hehehe - pun intended) This rates in my top 10-20, top 5 of bads. I like to show it to new film-friends - just to see them cringe.

Stumbled across this one on TikTok and I had no idea what to expect! I assumed low budget with crazy violence. Despite pretty low budget, it’s a better production than anticipated and the concept is batshit crazy. It feels like a giant Jackass stunt, but it’s not. This goes right up there with “The Room” as far as movies that movie lovers need to see in their lives. This type of film will never be made again, and for that it’s special.

Watch if you want to see huge wild cats constantly jump all over actors for real. Seriously how did nobody die? This is probably the most irresponsible film making I've ever seen. So many cats everywhere. Untrained. The movie tries to have a feel good factor in the beginning but it's pure cringe as you wait for someone to get hurt. Bizarre. The story behind the movie is more interesting than the movie itself. It took around ten years to make and people got hurt a lot.

If you’re in the mood for a compelling narrative, you should steer clear of the 1981 film "Roar." But if you’re interested in a documentary on human stupidity, you should definitely watch it. After all, the idea of making a movie in which actors interact with dozens of untrained lions and other big cats is pretty insane. For some of the actors, genuine fear is clearly written all over their faces. No wonder, since the crew actually suffered numerous serious injuries from bites and scratches. And since the big cats aren’t trained, the plot consists of nothing more than a random string of scenes where people hide from the animals while said animals do their own thing. "Roar" is certainly not a thrilling movie. But it’s also kind of like a car accident you just can’t look away from. In that sense, it’s definitely worth a look on a very specific level.

Surprisingly wholesome *this sentence is for reaching the word count*
