43 Years Ago, The Most Dangerous Film Ever Made Premiered
The movie business often has a deceptive appearance of safety, but it can be much more hazardous than one might think from an outside perspective. There are numerous tales about risky film sets, ranging from the actual accident on the set of “Twilight Zone: The Movie,” to Tom Cruise’s death-defying stunts in the “Mission: Impossible” series. However, it’s important to note that the most dangerous movie ever made just recently marked its 43rd anniversary in October 2024: the 1981 horror comedy film “Roar,” which was written, directed, and starred Noel Marshall along with his real-life family, including his wife Tippi Hedren and stepdaughter Melanie Griffith.
