* CluelessAesop: The movie's message is that big cats are amazing creatures that are not out to kill people, and should be preserved. From watching the movie, though, it's a pretty hard message to swallow, considering everyone keeps getting menaced by the animals (both in the movie and in RealLife), the large number of injuries from said animals during the movie's production, ''and'' the fact the cats ''actually kill'' two people in the movie (albeit two people [[AssholeVictim who kind of deserved it]], but that last one still edges into BrokenAesop territory).

During the Togar chase scene with Hank's family in the house, Madeleine's shirt ends up getting torn off, leaving her in her bra.bra.
** Hank's clothes are constantly shredded; it gets to a point where in one scene he's down to wearing a T-shirt and biker shorts.


Added DiffLines:

* ConflictKiller: There are a number of subplots and story arcs going on throughout the movie, but those disappear the moment the lions take centerstage towards the end. On a meta level, this highlights just how hard it was to film the movie around all the various, dangerous animals. Several scenes are noticeably interrupted or cut short because the big cats start roaring and fighting amongst themselves.

** Several lions escaped during filming and were shot by locals, thus making this an extremely questionable use of the trope.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Slapstick}}: Hank and his family frequently get attacked, knocked around, and overall victimized by the cats to an absurd degree, often suffering (real) injuries in the process.
