8 Weirdest Accidents On The Sets Of Films

8. Everyone - Roar

Roar, a 1981 "comedy" film, is about a wildlife conservationist who moves to Tanzania to study some giant cats - like lions and tigers. I think you can see where this is going.

Roar, an insane film made by insane people, was shot using real animals. Usually, this wouldn't be too crazy, as Hollywood uses real animals all the time. The 80s were a different time though, so, for some god-forsaken reason, they decided to shoot all its scenes with untrained animals.

John Marshall - son of director and lead star Noel Marshall - was quoted saying that out of Roar's 140 person crew, over 100 of them ended up getting injured. This included Noel himself, who was bitten 11 times and had to be treated for both gangrene and blood poisoning.

Lead actress Tippi Hedren was also bitten on the head by a lion, thrown from the back of an elephant, scratched by a leopard, AND bitten on the chest by a cougar. Some of the injuries were so ghastly and numerous that we don't have the time to list them all here, so be warned that further accounts about the insane conditions on set do not make for light reading.
