Angelina Jolie - who performed most of her own stunts in the original Tomb Raider movie claiming she had no choice if she wanted to win over the millions of fans who have fallen for Lara Croft - insists on continuing the fashion in Par's sequel The Cradle Of Life. Several sequences require Jolie to ride real bulls, with horns and everything! Jolie told reporters recently. They're being trained up for the film. What you do, apparently, is to get the male bulls to chase after a female. So I'm going to be on some excited bulls looking for their girlfriends.
