Interesting Fact: Red Letter Media mainstay Macaulay Culkin actually started out as a childhood actor, appearing in the first two Home Alone movies, before hitting it big as an internet sensation!
Hi Mike, Jay and Rich, I'm the director of Hawk Jones, honored to see it appear on your show! I was 21 when I directed this in Davenport, Iowa in 1985... the movie was shot on 3 1/4 inch video and has since been gaining a small cult audience, and even inspired Childish Gambino to make a song about it called Hawk Jones! Thanks for keeping the film alive.
These cameos are getting a little stale. You guys are doing fine, you don't need to shoehorn in appearances from Hollywood shill Rich Evans every time you get the chance.
I think they just honestly like him :') and hes available and loves movies. So why not bring him in? Id rather watch him then the olsen twins, or lindsey lohan or (insert childactor name here) honestly :)
"The villain of the film is Noel Marshall" Given that he abused his family so much during the making of this film that Tippi divorced him, yeah, that's probably accurate.
I’m thrilled to see that Hollywood celebrity Rich Evans recovered from his cocaine addiction and briefly returned to his Milwaukee roots to film a silly internet video with his ghetto friends.
Honestly, the deck was pretty stacked in this episode. In most other episodes, I'm sure Hawk Jones would've been a shoe-in. But its hard to compete with goofy claymation monsters and people getting genuinely mauled by lions on film.
This episode solved a 20+ year mystery for me. I remember my dad renting the VHS for Winter Beast when I was a child. We had so much fun laughing at it's awfulness. I have been looking for this movie for a long time but I always thought it was titled Snow Beast. My dad has since passed but you better believe I will be looking for my own copy of Winter Beast and remembering fondly my dad and my love for bad movies. Thank you!
ok i have 2 for yeah. i VIVIDLY REMEMBER BOTH OF THESE one clip was some nerds i think talking to some lady, the nerds needed her to digitize into some game they were making but she couldnt have any cloths on. and after they did whatever the hell the process was the game they showed was some weird early cgi thing of some blue lady with a sword fighting what looked like demonic pokemon. the other was a movie about a woman who got massive breast implants and has a scene where she flashes someone to hitch a ride. i know they arent much to go on but im 26 now and these memories have been gnawing at my mind for years.
the best part is that if you are an avid watcher of redlettermedia you can not only see shawns reaction to it but in your minds eye you'll be able to also see jays reaction to it as well.
List of real injuries in "ROAR": Cinematographer Jan de Bont had his head scalped by a lion while filming under a tarp. The scalping resulted in him receiving 220 stitches. Tippi Hedren received a fractured leg after an elephant bucked her off its back while she was riding it, and also received scalp wounds. She was also bitten in the neck by a lion and required 38 stitches. Melanie Griffith had to receive 50 stitches to her face, and it was feared she would lose an eye. She recovered and was not disfigured. Noel Marshall was attacked so many times that he was eventually diagnosed with gangrene. In one of those incidents, he was clawed by a cheetah when protecting the animals during a bushfire that occurred in 1979. All animals were evacuated though it took several years for him to recover from his injuries. Due to the injuries, turnover was high as many did not want to return to the set. Some of the lions also suffered from illnesses that reduced their population. John Marshall was bitten by one of the lions and required 56 stitches.
@@ffs6158 Unfortunately Robbie was killed in a flood in 1978, along with several other lions and much of the film's production was destroyed. That's partly why it took so long to finish.
Heres another fun fact: one time Noel Marshall was chasing naked one of the Lions in the studio (or open field) and passed through close to some japanese producers pretty much scaring them away (no wonder Tippi divorced that idiot)
I know the word "crazy" is so easy to toss around in Best of the Worst when discussing a filmmaker's vision and methods, but Roar is the first case where I can seriously imagine actual trained psychologists being brought in by authorities to sit people down in a nice, safe, enclosed environment to tell them. "No. You were not shooting a movie. You were helping a madman indulge his unhealthy hobby at the expense of your well-being."

@@GnosticAtheist Couldn't help but notice you're atheist and possibly leftist, so it doesn't matter what evidence I pose; it'll be shot down regardless.

That's par the course with pedophiles, no?
Yeah, I remember thinking that, the first time I saw Roar. The only cinematic experience that can even compare is Grizzly Man. I mean this is the true source of the instincts that monster films are based on.
When Mack started geeking out about Star Trek with those hack frauds, I felt like a parent who just met their son’s fiancée and I’m beaming with approval. It’s a match made in heaven.
@@EbonyPope nah its just an RLM in-joke. Mike and Jay used to call themselves "hack frauds" and it caught on in the fanbase. I don't know why they called themselves that, some sort of self deprecating irony, idk.
I think it's absolutely sickening that RedLetterMedia are exploiting the childhood fame of their friend to get more views on their crappy videos. He may enjoy feeling like "part of the crew" or "one of the guys", but he's clearly above the level of these amateurs, and Rich could work wherever he wants.
"Over 70 of the cast and crew are believed to have been injured during the production of Roar. Because of this, many of the attacks from the animals resulted in real blood from the actors showing up in the final cut of the film. It has been described as the most dangerous film ever made" 80's were great
After watching this episode, all I can think about is shooting a film that's just lions and tigers roaming around an indoor shopping plaza and "interacting" with all the visitors. I think I'll call it 'Shopping Maul'.
@RedLetterMedia Probably commenting too late to be seen, but for the sake of "fun facts": The damp temples on the elephant in "Roar" indicated the male was in a state called "Musth", an annual hormonal rage when his testosterone levels were probably about 60x higher than normal. Male elephants become extremely aggressive and unpredictable during this time of year, and letting him be around people was probably as dumb or dumber than putting actors in a room with 50 untrained lions.
It is like replacing legendary Scottie Pippen, the great Charlotte Hornets basketball player for those that don't know sport references, with bench player from the B.League 国内男子プロバスケットボールリーグ.
If a year ago, someone told us the most-famous child actor of the ‘80s would become the unofficial sixth member of RLM, and it’d be awesome,... no one would have believed them. It’s like the inverse of a sitcom situation, when the ratings drop and suddenly Rich needs to have a kid brother.
I think it would be relatively safe. I mean the lions aren't hungry anymore and, they are normally spectacularly lazy creatures so they'll probably leave you alone
Nishant Singh wild lions might attack you if they think you’re there to steal it though. Wild lions have to protect their kills from Hyenas who often try to steal from them
If that chief doesn’t say, in exasperation, “I’m getting too old for this,” and Hawk Jones doesn’t call his partner “kid,” then they wasted their premise.
I had a recurring nightmare as a kid of being locked in the house as a tiger circled the outside and slowly grabbed each family member as they walked out
Those other 2 movies are the works of fiction, "ROAR" is the work of idiocy, incompetence and madness. You need a separate category for that thing to be honest.
@wizardstumpt4467 you are so salty wtf? Maybe he does not want to act? And why are you calling RLM hackfrauds? You are brewing hate my friend, maybe touch some grass and breath fresh air?
I work at a zoo, and the entire time I spent watching any scene from Roar I was cringing and acting like Shawn, since even our keepers, who work with our lions from birth, have gotten injuries.
I love how this can easily be misread as the keepers having been working with lions ever since they themselves were born. Like, the first thing they did after popping out was using their own umbilical cord as a whip to keep lions at bay.
I'm calling bullshit! The first time Rich said "Massachusetts," he said it correctly. The caption was not necessary. "Massajujish," however, is pure gold.
I had a professor who worked as a production assistant on ROAR!, and he made it sound like the craziest fucking set I've ever heard of. He was only there for a few days, though, because he and his friend got the hell out of there because of the... casualties, I guess, lol.
They had safewords for when they thought something was going out of control so people would rush to help....except the psycho pretended not to hear any of them... He said it himself in an interview years later. Talked about how the poor treatment of the family in the movie was an outlet for his frustrations over the impending divorce. I can't believe they actually finished the movie
Kind of want Peter Jackson to take a stab at the concept: Basically, him returning to his Roots. (Back when he made CRAZY and CREATIVE stuff like "BrainDead"/"Dead Alive", "Meet the Feebles", and One of the BEST films ever made "The Frighteners")
@@MFSeaMen Edward Scissorhands was definitely meant to be very unnerving at first sight, becoming a sympathetic character because of his sweet character despite your first impressions - and also to juxtapose how the town doesn't acknowledge any of that and accepts him instantly... until just a little bit before the climax.
@@Babylauncher3000 That was obviously a lie, there's no way that they didn't hurt themselves with the constant infighting. Why the hell would they even put so many males in the same space?
@@jaquelinegillisfrancine2923 I was wondering the same thing when I saw the males teaming up on that Tiger. These animals have completely different social structures. Its basically asking for trouble.
It was a very different time. There’s a 1969 movie called “Shark!” that actually used the death of one of its stuntmen via a real shark attack that was caught on camera as a marketing tool.
After doing some research on Roar and seeing the movie, I have a theory: Tippi Hedren blames her trauma from Roar on Hitchcock. 1. Hedren alleges that Hitchcock harassed her and made her life hell during the filming of The Birds, during which she was actually attacked by birds on-set. However, no one, including Hedren herself, ever made these accusations until many years later. 2. Hedren started making Roar not long after The Birds. 3. Hedren has gone on record saying that none of the crew were harmed making Roar "unless someone hit their thumb with a hammer, or something." There is documented proof that several crew were seriously injured, including the cinematographer, who was scalped (not Melanie Griffith, though she did need reconstructive surgery for a different kind of facial injury). Clearly, she does not remember the filming very well. 4. The filming of Roar took five years. 5. Hedren divorced Noel Marshall shortly after the movie wrapped. My theory is that when Tippi Hedren looked back at that period in her life, she projected the trauma that her husband, Noel Marshall had subjected her to onto Hitchcock, conflating the bird attacks with the lion attacks and whitewashing the problems with Roar for which she was partially responsible. She acted horribly traumatized by Hitchcock but the worst she has to say about Roar is to complain about how long the shooting took and laugh about how the people at the hospital made jokes about naming a wing after Marshall because he was there so often.
Or she was abused by Hitchcock and her husband, and it was easier to acknowledge the abuse from someone she wasn't married to. The allegations not coming out till years later doesn't mean anything. Hitchcock was a movie god, Hedren was an unknown, and it was the 60s. She knew her career would have been over if she tried to speak out right when it happened.
I'd say it's definitely a subconscious projection to spare herself from the memory of being mauled by lions, which I'd argue is more traumatic and can probably bring on more significant PTSD as opposed to thinking some birds pecked at you.
I don't remember if they covered it in this but the craziest part of this movie is that there was a fire at the preserve and they lost all the footage five or so years into the making of this. They shot this shit TWICE.
@@theoriginaltommystewardi mean i assume its roar but there are three movies here. The easy thing wouldve been to say "its the movie '___' " Instead you went through the extra effort of being a prick, for no reason lol
I think Mack is starting to hit his stride here. His previous BOTW appearances always had a bit of a nervous energy, seems more comfortable and having a better time now. Also his clapping in delight to the horrors of Roar was adorable.
Macauly pours himself a bowl of bachelor chow while Mike bursts into the room and says "Good news, everyone! Today we're playing another round of JUNKA!"
20:06 Id like to point out that D. R. Nanayakkara (the shaman in that scene) is actually a famous actor in Sri Lanka (where that movie was filmed and where the 2nd language is English). He's appeared in both Sinhala and British film, so he knows how to speak English pretty well. Some of the words they had him say aren't Sinhalese or English though so those he did have to pronounce them based on what they told him.
I'm amazed no one was killed on Roar. Sure lions might have a soft side, but they are still incredibly dangerous animals that evolved to be excellent at killing things much larger than humans.

Best summary of Roar by Rich Evans: C R I M I N A L L Y N E G L I G E N T
@RedLetterMedia Probably commenting too late to be seen, but for the sake of "fun facts": The damp temples on the elephant in "Roar" indicated the male was in a state called "Musth", an annual hormonal rage when his testosterone levels were probably about 60x higher than normal. Male elephants become extremely aggressive and unpredictable during this time of year, and letting him be around people was probably as dumb or dumber than putting actors in a room with 50 untrained lions.
thats actually very interesting :)
Fun fact: The Wizard is behind the camera on every RLM video, ready to replace Rich Evans at a moment’s notice.
It is like replacing legendary Scottie Pippen, the great Charlotte Hornets basketball player for those that don't know sport references, with bench player from the B.League 国内男子プロバスケットボールリーグ.

The CGI in Roar is incredible. The lions look more photo realistic than The Lion King remake.
Never saw Snakes on a Plane, but Lions in a House seems way scarier.
I had a recurring nightmare as a kid of being locked in the house as a tiger circled the outside and slowly grabbed each family member as they walked out
You can survive a house of lions if you submit and assume the position, venomous snakes are just a-holes.

They had safewords for when they thought something was going out of control so people would rush to help....except the psycho pretended not to hear any of them...

I'm far more surprised that no one was sued. Or arrested.
It was a very different time. There’s a 1969 movie called “Shark!” that actually used the death of one of its stuntmen via a real shark attack that was caught on camera as a marketing tool.
There were 70 injuries that required medical treatment. If you're counting total injuries, the number was probably in the hundreds.
@@colten53 Fucking what?
After doing some research on Roar and seeing the movie, I have a theory: Tippi Hedren blames her trauma from Roar on Hitchcock.
1. Hedren alleges that Hitchcock harassed her and made her life hell during the filming of The Birds, during which she was actually attacked by birds on-set. However, no one, including Hedren herself, ever made these accusations until many years later.
2. Hedren started making Roar not long after The Birds.
3. Hedren has gone on record saying that none of the crew were harmed making Roar "unless someone hit their thumb with a hammer, or something." There is documented proof that several crew were seriously injured, including the cinematographer, who was scalped (not Melanie Griffith, though she did need reconstructive surgery for a different kind of facial injury). Clearly, she does not remember the filming very well.
4. The filming of Roar took five years.
5. Hedren divorced Noel Marshall shortly after the movie wrapped.
My theory is that when Tippi Hedren looked back at that period in her life, she projected the trauma that her husband, Noel Marshall had subjected her to onto Hitchcock, conflating the bird attacks with the lion attacks and whitewashing the problems with Roar for which she was partially responsible. She acted horribly traumatized by Hitchcock but the worst she has to say about Roar is to complain about how long the shooting took and laugh about how the people at the hospital made jokes about naming a wing after Marshall because he was there so often.
Or she was abused by Hitchcock and her husband, and it was easier to acknowledge the abuse from someone she wasn't married to.
The allegations not coming out till years later doesn't mean anything. Hitchcock was a movie god, Hedren was an unknown, and it was the 60s. She knew her career would have been over if she tried to speak out right when it happened.
I'd say it's definitely a subconscious projection to spare herself from the memory of being mauled by lions, which I'd argue is more traumatic and can probably bring on more significant PTSD as opposed to thinking some birds pecked at you.
