This has been posted on a lot of forums over the years. Still going strong.

Besides having the look of Faces of Death and all the ridiculous shaking & zooming of the camera to convey chaos and confusion, and the not-so-subtle touch of reaction shots of each family member in sequence, I deduct points for not adding fake blood to the meat-loaded-mannequin.

Hmmm... It doesn't look fake... Can you find a source for that claim?

I dunno....I'm skeptical. It cuts from the mauling to the shocked observers and back alot. Kinda....movie-ish.

That's the key, it's WAY fake. The cameraman is watching a man getting attacked by a lion and has the presence of mind to zoom in on a perfectly focused reaction shot of a baby crying? Get real.

Just to beat the horse some more, another thing I noticed: there's a point where the lioness who pounced on his back simply rolls off him at 23 seconds. That would never happen, it's way too playful. Lions go for the neck, all muscle and all power, all the time.
