I'm surprised that Marshall ended up go through with it all. Surely he must've realized at some point that the money he was putting into it would never be seen again.
@@troodon1096 It's such a wild dedication, though, it's hard to not admire it. Any reasonable man (or couple, in this case) would've given up at the idea stage because it's so insane.
Unlike other films on this list, Roar wasnt even remotely worth the trouble. You can barely call it a movie. It's more like bunch of improvised scenes loosely connected to each other. I found it a real chore to sit through. Hedren and Marshall were really into nature conservation in africa but I dont see how almost feeding their children to the lions was supposed to help with that. Except giving the lions a lunch. 😁 I my only though after it was what kind of parents endanger their children like that?! Pure madness.
Yup. Wildly insane. As I watched it and researched it, I found myself mostly thinking about John & Jerry Marshall and Melanie Griffith, and what they thought about what their parents put them through. Hedren already knew how difficult live animals were, but this one really pushed the limit. The fact that everyone survived is a miracle. But the whole thing was so insane and everything went so wrong, that I couldn't not include it lol
I blame the whole mess on too much drugs and booze in the 70s and early 80s. You'd _have_ to high off your gourd to do what they did. It's child abuse, animal abuse, and exploration all in one.
The island of dr moreau should be remade. It still has the potential to be good. Dune part one already proves that it can happen. The only movies that deserve a remake are mediocre movies that have the potential to be greater.
Amusingly, the '96 movie is the third adaptation. There was one in 1977, and another in 1932, which Wells himself thought was terrible. But I agree, this one should get another chance. There's a good version in there somewhere.
Honestly the 1977 version was probably the best, but that's not saying much. I think it's up there with a story that could still be served well with a decent adaptation.
I love your vids yo, nice voice, no overbearing obnoxious edits, highly researched subject matter and provides a nice educational aspect. Love it all dude!!
Jeez! Great stories here. Maybe you should have saved Fitzcarraldo for the end because I don't think any of the other films were as insane as that production. Maybe Apocalypse Now comes close.
@@Serioslumpmultiple things can be true at the same time. Wild animals are not actors sure, but they sure as fuck are here for our entertainment & be eaten eventually
@@ianschmitt4991 incorrect. Animals are individuals with their own needs and interests. They are here for themselves, to express their natural instincts in a natural environment, not to be used for human entertainment or consumption.
Lost Soul is just fantastic, a must-watch imo - and I believe that Stanley was an inspiration for the director of Tropic Thunder, which if tue would be amazing lol
I think any reason they give would be a cover for the true reason, which is potentially genuine insanity. Because there's definitely a way to make a movie like Roar without so many injuries. They ended up using the worst and most expensive way (they sold all their houses and it got to the point where Tippi Hedren was selling off clothes to keep the production alive).
Herzog said we should move a boat over a mountain once in our lives. Speaking of Terry Gilliam, have you done anything about Baron Munchausen? I hear that was a horrible shoot, too.
Alas, I'm not sure there were many after the fact. I think there were some early on because they were housing the animals illegally or improperly or something, but they were still able to make the movie. Irrespective, it was wildly irresponsible, especially after experts told them it wouldn't work.
Were the cast and crew of roar under a trance by the director or something cause WTF!!!!!! why in the name of heavens would anyone continue filming after the first lion attack...and the second....and the third...i mean were they in a cult or sthng good laud
Alas, he involved pretty much his entire family and they had no choice because Marshall & Hedren also sold off their houses & some other assets to keep the production alive. Dunno why people like Jan De Bont and Kauper stayed on - maybe a penalty or something?
The opening quote of this essay is foolish and makes the word “miracle” meaningless. You say that making a movie is a miracle and then say there are movies that are even harder to make. Is it beyond a miracle they were made? Pump the breaks on the hyperbole

Roar is insanity. Pure insanity. And i say wasnt worthy, the movie is bad.

Well, anyone who signed on, knowing they’d be doing scenes with wild, totally untrained predators were clearly certifiable.
Of all the movies in this video, it's the one that least deserved the dedication put into making it.

Dumbest fucking concept
I always enjoyed the anecdote about Laurence Fishburne pretending to be 18 to get the role(at 14) , only to actually be 18 when it finally premiered.
Lol yeah, it was a really long production.

The thing about Don Quixote is that the movie he ended up making was very different than the one he set out to make. It’s virtually a different film
When will people stop trying to put wild animals in movies?? Lions and elephants aren’t actors!!!
Never. Some lions and elephants are actors.
@@Stumme-40203 wild animals aren’t here for our entertainment, sorry
Better actors than Disney has been using 😂

Island of monsters, was started with voodoo curse
Lol yup

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Why would you make Roar. At all
I think any reason they give would be a cover for the true reason, which is potentially genuine insanity. Because there's definitely a way to make a movie like Roar without so many injuries. They ended up using the worst and most expensive way (they sold all their houses and it got to the point where Tippi Hedren was selling off clothes to keep the production alive).
I freakin love your voice. Its pure ASMR.
Herzog said we should move a boat over a mountain once in our lives.
Speaking of Terry Gilliam, have you done anything about Baron Munchausen? I hear that was a horrible shoot, too.
Why tf would you use untrained wild animals in a movie? That's unconscionable and should never be allowed. I hope there were lawsuits.
Alas, I'm not sure there were many after the fact. I think there were some early on because they were housing the animals illegally or improperly or something, but they were still able to make the movie. Irrespective, it was wildly irresponsible, especially after experts told them it wouldn't work.
Problem is there was likely little money left to sue for.
@@troodon1096 Yup. They had sold their properties to finance the movie + it made almost nothing at the box office.
I can understand most movies being done... but ROAR? What the hell?
Passion project = nightmare productions and BO poison.
3:34 is clearly a model. Is there confusion about this or is it understood models were used in this scene. I can't seem to tell.
Models were used for some scenes, like the one on the rapids, but not for the hauling scene.
@@Syntopikon agreed.

Is this a reupload?
Nope, though I did talk about Fitzcarraldo from a different point of view in another video.

You really don't need to do that Dr Evil voice the whole time.
Your videos are very lazy, lifting countless recycled topics
Your comment is very lazy, and yet more effort than just watching other videos.
