Goofs:

Factual errors: Several of the attack scenes show the tiger charging the victim from the front. All cats, from house mousers to the largest tigers, approach prey from the rear or side, and kill with a bite through the spine at the base of the neck. There are several documented cases of people avoiding big cat attack simply by keeping the approaching animal in front of them.

Big cat thrills from Winnipeg

An escaped Bengal tiger is loose in a backwoods rural community (Selkirk, Winnipeg posing as Taruga County, USA). Local sheriff Gary Busey's more usual small town duties involve permits for frontlawn quilt sales. And the odd missing persons case. The latest is a jogger reported missing in the woods. The tracker dog is spooked, with good reason. There's body parts in them thar hills. And this cat's so efficient at making people disappear it could get a gig in Las Vegas. "Ma! I think there's a lion out here!" says brave little Ty Wood, hearing a growl in the dark. "None of your make believe," says Ma, telling him to get on with his Bible studies. Busey thinks it's maybe a bear. The mayor's more concerned about the annual corn and apple festival. Thank goodness for big-game hunter Ian D. Clark: "For the inexperienced, stalking a maneating tiger is an exotic form of suicide." The hunters are the hunted in a neatly scripted, straight-forward big-cat adventure that earns points for staying away from fake CGI tricks. This cat's for real. And he's not voting for the mayor.
