The lion charge I saw on film was the greatest charge I've ever seen. It was filmed at least 30 years ago (an Eastman film I think) and the hunter was killing a man eater. The cat charged from about 50 yrds and moved like lighting. The hunter had nerves of steel and stood up to the charge. He was using a bolt action and shot the lion at least four times. He never took the gun off his shoulder, jacking the rounds like an automatic. It was cool! I saw it on TV when I was 10 yrs old and have never seen it since.
