When the two actors were tied down in a scene, some spilled fuel began a blaze that panicked the film crew. The lion in the film who had been trained to remove Hawkes' bonds freed him.[1] though he suffered 90% burns to his body.[5] Sipek vowed he would pay the lion back by looking after big cats.[6].https://www.total-montenegro-news.com/travel/3443-kitty-swan-salvation
