Those Fake Crocs are Real!

Remember the stunt in Live and Let Die when James Bond [Roger Moore] ran across the backs of crocodiles?  

I had always thought that they were mechanical crocs.  

They weren’t.  Those crocs were the real thing.  

The stuntman, Ross Kananga, had to attempt the stunt several times to get it right.  As you can see here, he had a few close calls.  

The video makes the stunt, which I had always thought a bit corny, more impressive.
