ROAR (1981), often called the most dangerous movie ever made, is one of those films where the story of its creation is far more interesting than the film itself. Writer/director Noel Marshall and his then-wife actress Tippi Hedren wanted to make a movie starring the 150 big cats and other exotic animals they had adopted. Unfortunately, these animals weren’t trained for being in movies, and the cast and crew were woefully undertrained to handle them.

The result was numerous injuries, some of them near-fatal, and one of the most unique, curious and terrifying home movies you’ll likely ever find.

To house the animals after the film was finished, Hedren founded the Roar Foundation and the Shambala Preserve Sanctuary, which is still around today :www.shambala.org/
