Keifer Sutherland: 'Orangutan Almost Killed Me Once'.... Hollywood star Kiefer Sutherland is wary of ever having to work with an orangutan again, after nearly being killed during the making of movie 1969.Sutherland was shooting a scene in the 1988 film with his co-star and friend Robert Downey Jr when things got a little out of hand.He recalls, "We were doing a scene in a VW bus and I was driving and Bobby was in the passenger seat and we were being towed by another vehicle so that I wouldn't actually have to drive."At some point there was an orangutan sitting in between us. They're incredibly and deceptively strong. And Bobby was really nervous about this to begin with."At some point in the middle of the scene this orangutan... turns and faces me and sits in my lap. I start to laugh until she puts her arms around my neck."And she starts to hold tight and everytime I start to move she squeezes a little tighter. And then she starts to gyrate her hips on my leg, and all I can hear over the walkie talkie is don't move."Bobby says, 'Forget this' - and this is one of my best friends - crawls out the side window, jumps on top of the van... until this orangutan sprayed the entire front of the car."It was literally like I had been slimed in Ghostbusters. You can either go along for the ride, or she can kill you."
