This is nothing short of absolute and utter madness….and brilliance. Ross Kananga is the stunt man who bounded across a bunch of bad ass Crocodiles in Live And Let Die. And he didn’t get it in one take. In fact he took a few goes to get it right. How he didn’t lose a leg or worse is beyond me as the Crocs seemed to be getting more aware each time he decided to do a hope skip and a jump. This is one of the greatest behind the scenes videos you are EVER likely to see, regardless of what you think of Bond.
Incidentally, while searching for locations in Jamaica, the crew discovered a crocodile farm owned by Ross Kananga, after passing a sign warning that "trespassers will be eaten." The farm was put into the script and also inspired Mankiewicz to name the film's villain after Kananga.
