@gloss: These are all the attempts made by stuntman Ross Kananga for the infamous crocodile scene in the James Bond film “Live and Let Die” in 1973. The story of how this scene came to be is nearly as crazy as the scene itself. In 1972, whilst searching for a suitable location for the James Bond film “Live and Let Die”, location scouts were intrigued by a sign on a passing crocodile farm which read, “Trespassers Will Be Eaten”. After meeting with crocodile farm owner Ross Kananga, they were convinced the farm should be used as part of the film. The charismatic Kananga inspired screenplay writer Tom Mankiewicz to name the film’s main Bond villain, Dr. Kananga. Kananga suggested the stunt of Bond (played by Roger Moore) jumping across crocodiles, and was enlisted by the producers to perform it. The scene required five takes to complete, including one in which the last crocodile snapped at Kananga’s heel, tearing his trousers and causing him a number of injuries. One of the other takes resulted in Kananga requiring 193 stitches. Kananga was paid $60,000 for his contribution to the film.
