10 Dangerous Movie Scenes You Won’t Believe Didn't Kill Anyone
10. Live And Let Die: A Bite From A Croc
This is the first (but not the last) time animals will be involved in dangerous movie scenes. Involving an animal in a film is always a gamble. Where an actor can be swayed by artistic integrity or money, animals do whatever they like.
That's not to say you can't train animals for films. Dogs have been acting in movies for ages, but certain creatures don't take well to entertainment.
In Live and Let Die James Bond makes a daring escape doing his best Donkey Kong impersonation, by skipping on the mouths of man-eating crocodiles. The reason you only see Roger Moore's feat during this scene is because it's not Roger Moore, but a stuntman.
Acting with crocodiles is downright stupid. They're crazy aggressive and, one assumes, even more ornery if they have some Hollywood type jumping on their face.
It shouldn't come as a surprise then that the stuntman received a bite on the leg for his troubles.
Really the guy is lucky, as only a cursory glance of a few nature documentaries will show you how deadly crocs can be.
