H'm.....
 
I just found this on www.crowfanclub.com

"Now here's a new problem which we've had in recent years... ...after Brandon Lee was shot and killed by a blank... ...you are now not allowed to point a blank gun anymore at an actor- so it's made life incredibly difficlut (for filming) and they're looking for new technologies to try and make guns work... ...she had to point the gun fifty degrees away from him, which is law now- and it makes life really, really difficult for you when you're trying to fire a weapon, now- because you can't actually point it at the actor and blow."
-Stephan Elliot, Director's Commentary on Eye of the Beholder.

NOW they figure that out.....doesn't bring Brandon back, people!!! :evil:

So...what do you think? Is hollywood finally getting around to realizing a mistake that they made a long time ago?

ow.....*leaps up* SHOTGUN!!! I CALL SHOTGUN!!!!!!


What I want to know is WHY DIDN'T THEY THINK OF THIS AFTER BRANDON WAS SHOT?!?!?!?!?!

Reznorite420 12-01-2003 10:05 AM

What I don't understand is how a FRAGMENT of a bullet killed him...

Mars-Chan 12-01-2003 10:29 AM

I KNOW!!!! Couldn't they've searched the gun out before they used it? NOOO! They had to shoot the scene without inspecting it first!

Yeah, weapons safety on movie sets was not the greatest back then, and many people have the false idea that a blank firing gun won't do any damage. I recently read an article about a movie weapons specialist who demonstrates to the retards on set just how dangerous a blank is by firing one next to an apple. It blows the apple apart due to the stream of hot gases that come out of the muzzle. It's a stream that's hot and powerful enough to burn a hole through a human arm. Very dangerous.

What I don't get is this: When Brandon was doing his last interview, it's as if he KNEW that something bad was going to happen....freaky....
