Rick Guinn starred in low-budget, little-known film about cowboy who wrestles a cougar
A rancher in Kananaskis Country is enjoying his new-found fame as viral videos of him riding a buffalo and fighting a cougar are being used by Alberta's tourism marketing agency.
The first I saw the Guy on a buffalo short films I rolled laughing the song that stuck my head then returned when I saw this article
The cougar scene was a little more real than it looked
When the crew was getting slow motion shots of a cougar for a different production, the cougar escaped, Guinn said. The cat sneaked out of the woods to leap onto his back and bite his neck.
"I had to kind of fight him off," Guinn said. "It was kind of a life-or-death situation, kind of had to do something real quick."
Luckily, the camera was still rolling.
"We had lots of shots like that that were built into the movie that were accidents. Just changed the script up a little bit and continued on," he said.
Always good for a laugh
