Live and Let Die

Live and Let Die

While searching for a suitable location for the James Bond movie adaptation of Ian Fleming’s Live and Let Die, location scouts were intrigued by a sign that read “Trespassers Will Be Eaten.” After meeting with Hollywood stuntman Ross Kananga, the filmmakers were convinced the Jamaica Safari Village at Ocho Rios, Jamaica should be used as part of the fictional island nation of San Monique.

According to Kananga’s Wikipedia page, the famed stuntman suggested the stunt of James Bond (played by Roger Moore) jumping on crocodile heads, and was hired by 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 requiring 193 stitches. Kananga was paid $60,000 for his contribution.
