Not content to immolate the local flora in the name of film making, Coppola also went after the resident fauna as well. And while the manic director always maintained that they just ‘happened to film’ the slaughtering of a water buffalo by the Ifugao natives that made it into the film, many crew members have claimed that not only did Coppola encourage the sacrifice but in fact directed it.

Sounds like something he’d do.
