Watch A Great 'Roar' Clip: Tigers And Motorcycles Don't Mix
In footage from Jurassic World, we see Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle amongst a pack of velociraptors. But the raptors are just CG creations; while the image is cool, it's not actually dangerous to create. In the movie Roar, there's a sequence where a guy rides a motorcycle through a pack of lions and tigers, and it's the real deal.
Roar is the film which featured producer Noel Marshall (The Exorcist), his wife Tippi Hedren (The Birds) and Hedren's young daughter Melanie Griffith (Working Girl) amongst a giant pack of big cats. Make that untrained big cats. This film was crazy dangerous to make, and arguably just a dumb idea. Watching it leads to a strange feeling — you're seeing something that by all rights should not exist. We've got an exclusive Roar clip that shows off that motorcycle scene, which gives you an idea of just how bizarre this movie gets.Roar is in some theaters now, and expands to about fifteen more theaters this weekend, with more on the way. After checking out this clip, watch the full trailer. Playdate info here.

An unprecedented––and wholly unpredictable––action-adventure, Roar follows wildlife preservationist Hank (The Exorcist producer Noel Marshall in his sole and career-derailing turn as an actor and director), who lives harmoniously alongside a menagerie of untamed animals, including cheetahs, elephants, lions and tigers on a preservation in the African plains. When his wife and children arrive (real-life wife Tippi Hedren, The Birds, and step-daughter Melanie Griffith, Working Girl) for a visit, a long-brewing battle for dominance between two lions erupts and threatens their very lives.
