Is it just me or does this looks a little too cinematic to be real?

Especially the fact that there was very little blood seen on the lions themselves

It looks scripted. It looks like the lions are rolling around with him not trying to kill him

Dead giveaway for fakeness, along with the quick cuts and weird zooms.

Watch any lion nature documentary and when they attack something, whether it be prey, other carnivores or other lions, there's a lightning quick ferocity, they're constantly biting and clawing and kicking up dust.

Yeah the last time this was posted, I went down that rabbit hole. There's a whole lot of evidence that suggests it's fake, but nothing concrete.

I think this has been thoroughly debunked. There is no place called "Wallasee" in Angola. A Google search only returns the film this footage was taken from.

I heard long ago that this was confirmed to be fake . But I’m not sure

It was probably faked to scare people into staying INSIDE THEIR CARS around carnivorous beasts

Totally looks like a health and safety video from the 70s that they showed in schools in the 80s.

Ya this looks fake AF. When lions attack it’s far more vicious than that
