The infamous Tsavo Man Eaters on display in the Field Museum Of Natural History, in Chicago, Illinois. During March - December 1898, these ferocious male lions attacked and killed 135 people in Kenya, many of whom were construction workers, who were helping to build a railway from Kenya to Uganda. They were eventually hunted down and killed by an Irish British Army veteran called Lieutenant colonel John Henry Patterson, who later on went on to write a book about them called The Man Eaters Of Tsavo, which inspired movies such as Bwana Devil, Killers Of Kilimanjaro and The Ghost And The Darkness

This can easily pass as what Admiral Kazansky looks like when his mind slipps to Mav during serious meetings.

His eyes kinda look like cat eyes 🐱👁️

He's a cat dad 🐈

Sticks his tongue out before eating like one

He picks up fights with bigger cats and gets himself into trouble

He apparently marks his territory when he feels threatened by another Tom cat according to Rick rossovich.

Val is a huge animal activist and a supporter of many animal organizations like milo sanctuary for cats with special needs 🐱❤️

The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)

How far true stories have fallen.  Nowadays, all we can get is some limp-dick “Inspired by True Events” followed by absolute nonsense.  With The Ghost and the Darkness, we get full-on voiceover from a character assuring us that this is 100% actual factual truth, hand on the Bible cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.  Now there’s ballsiness.  Do I believe it for an instant?  Of course not.  For one thing, I can only assume the real John Henry Patterson had a better Irish accent and less gleamingly white teeth.  So too does the film amp up the quasi-supernatural bent to the Tsavo Man-Eaters.  These cats are clever as hell, absolute psychopaths in their drive to kill and devour.  It never quite manages to be as terrifying as it would hope to be, and there are a few moments of unintentional comedy as the mayhem breaks out.  But still, there is thrill to be found in the increasingly desperate squad of hunters thwarted at every angle by these unknowable creatures.  It’s tantalizing how little can be nailed down about them.  Maasai hunters refuse to acknowledge the pair of lions as even lions, viewing them as demons whose thirst for blood will never be slaked.  Charles Remington experiences his own version of this fear and apprehension upon discovering the lions’ lair, shocked and baffled at the collection of skeletons so clashing with his experience with the animals.  This mystery, never fully elucidated, makes for the most engaging aspect of the film.

Not that the movie doesn’t try to dissuade the viewer from enjoying it at points.  A sweeping James Horner-esque score oppresses the experience at every turn, blasting outtakes from The Rocketeer or something every time any character bats an eye.  Equally bonkers is Michael Douglas’ turn as seasoned hunter Charles Remington.  While Val Kilmer is content to turn in a stiff performance, Douglas evidently decided that a cross between Colonel Sanders and Jack Nicholson was on order.  Remington appears and disappears something of an enigma, late to the show to arrive and dragged off by a lion offscreen at the end of it all.  While he served as both predator and prey for these Tsavo lions, perhaps he wasn’t so unlike them in that sense, if a fair bit nicer.
