Roar: The Story of the Most Dangerous Film Ever Made

In this episode of The Compendium, we explore the chaotic legacy of Roar, the most dangerous movie ever made. Find out how Tippi Hedren, Noel Marshall, and a young Melanie Griffith risked life and limb filming a "ferocious comedy" starring 150 “untamed” lions and tigers. From real injuries on set to an 11-year production nightmare, we uncover the shocking truth behind a cult classic that redefined Hollywood disaster. If you’ve ever wondered how Roar became the most dangerous film ever made, this is the story you’ve been waiting for.
