Continuity mistake: In the scene where the lion is trying to get into the tree where Val Kilmer's hiding, it flashes to the lion, then Pitt, then the lion again. On the first lion flash its face is clean, then on the second lion flash its face is covered in blood.

The Ghost and the Darkness (a mostly true story) is about a pair of male mane-less lions who go on a man-hunting spree while a railroad is being built in Africa. Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas star as hired hunters in this action/adventure thriller where the lions are given almost superhuman attributes as the terror mounts along with the body count. Decent film.
