There's a whole animal training thing that we do in the film business.
And so the trainer couldn't get the old lion to work, so he just wouldn't move.
And you can't make a 500-pound lion do anything.
So they got the stand-in lion, and the stand-in lion worked all day.
And we were ending the day going up a hillside.
I think they might have been tugging him with a β guiding him with a piano wire, which is a thin filament.
I mean, he came around, he picked me up by the hip and shook me.
He held me horizontally and then flipped me around and shook me.
So I watched the entire film crew run in the opposite direction, sideways.
And then I remember thinking, oh, this must be an earthquake.
