March 31, 1993 during the filming of the film "The Crow" starring Brandon Lee received a gunshot wound, a few hours later the actor died. On the anniversary of the death of the artist, we decided to recall other tragedies on the set
Bruce Lee's son, Brandon, was born on February 1, 1965 in Oakland, California. His father began teaching Brandon martial arts from the age of three. When Bruce Lee died, his son was eight years old, but the boy did not give up kung fu.
In addition to martial arts, he studied music, played the guitar and composed songs himself, was fond of chess, table tennis and cinema. While still a schoolboy, Brandon performed on the stages of small theaters. Early in his career, Lee was confident that he would become a dramatic actor. However, according to the directors, the only possible genre for him was an action movie. It was in the action movies that Brandon had to show his skill and skill in all its splendor.
The son of Bruce Lee was talked about in 1990, after the release of the film "Operation Laser". Two years later, Brandon starred in the action movie "Showdown in Little Tokyo", this film became a breakthrough for the young actor. After the success of Brandon Lee in his next film, "Runaway fire" will come up with the scenes of all the fights.
In 1993, Lee Jr. got the lead role in the film adaptation of James O'Bar's comic book The Raven. The mystical thriller was supposed to finally consolidate Brandon's star status. Eric is shot, stabbed, stabbed with a sword, but the hero remains unharmed.However, by the time the film is released, viewers will know that Brandon Lee, who played the invincible rock musician, died during one of the murder scenes of his character.
The tragedy occurred on March 31, 1993, eight days before the end of filming. During the episode in which Eric Draven comes home and finds his girlfriend raped, one of the perpetrators, played by Michael Massia, is scripted to shoot Brandon Lee. By a mystical coincidence, a plug got stuck in the barrel, and when fired with a blank cartridge, it flew out. The bullet hit Lee Jr. in the stomach, for about 12 hours the doctors fought for the life of the actor. Brandon died eighteen days before his own wedding. Filming of "The Crow" was completed by his understudy. The shocked members of the film crew destroyed the recording of the tragic episode. Bruce Lee's son was 28 years old.
Martha Mansfield
Another victim of a tragic accident was Martha Mansfield. A popular American actress of the early 20th century died on November 30, 1923. During the filming of The Warrens of Virginia, Martha's dress caught fire. Mansfield's co-star Wilfred Lytell threw an overcoat over her. Thanks to this, the face and neck of the actress were not affected.
Mansfield was taken to a hospital in San Antonio, Texas. The doctors could not save Marta, the burns received on the body turned out to be too serious. The 24-year-old actress died a few hours after being hospitalized.
Steve Irwin
Nature played a cruel joke on Steve Irwin. The famous Australian naturalist, "crocodile hunter" died on September 4, 2006 while filming a program called "Deadly Creatures of the Ocean." The purpose of the broadcast was to show the world that marine animals are not as dangerous as they seem.
During one of the dives under water, a 44-year-old TV journalist was attacked by a stingray. When the leader was over the fish, the stingray raised its tail with a poisonous sting at the end and hit Irwin in the chest with it. The operator who swam after Steve filmed the death of a television journalist.
"You can see how he rose above the stingray, the tail of which shot up and pierced his chest. He pulled out a spike, and a minute later it was gone. That's it. The operator had to stop shooting," said producer and director John Stainton, who watched the film from fatal attack.
John-Eric Hexum
American actor and model John-Eric Hexum, who became famous in the early 1980s thanks to his roles in TV series, died on the set of the seventh episode of the serial film Hidden Fact. Hexam's character was supposed to fire a .44 Magnum pistol, during breaks the actor played with the weapon, knowing that the gun was loaded with blanks.
On October 12, 1984, John-Eric decided to joke, put a gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The blank shell shattered part of the actor's skull, causing extensive bleeding. Six days later, doctors ascertained that the 26-year-old actor had brain death. Apparently, Heksam did not take into account the fact that even blank cartridges are covered with metal, a shot made with such a cartridge from a dozen meters is not dangerous, but fired at close range can be fatal.
Harry L. O'Conner
Vin Diesel's understudy Harry L. O "Conner died during the filming of an episode in which his hero had to jump from the bridge cable to a submarine. The stuntman miscalculated the time and jumped too quickly. As a result, Harry L. O" Conner crashed on the bridge .
The death of the stuntman was videotaped, and director Rob Cohen decided to include the first footage from the filmed sequence in the final cut of the film.
Sarah Elizabeth Jones
Assistant operator Sarah Elizabeth Jones was hit by a train. The tragedy occurred on February 14, 2014, the first day of filming for the Midnight Rider biopic about Greg Ellman. In the midst of the filming process, which took place on the railway bridge, a train appeared.
The film crew rushed to the platform erected across the railway bridge to save the actor who was there. At this time, the cameras filmed as Sarah was hooked on the fuel tank mounted on the locomotive, and she fell onto the rails. A second later, the 27-year-old girl was run over by the wheels of a train.
Director Randall Miller was found guilty of manslaughter and criminal misuse of a transport facility. He is sentenced to two years in prison. Executive producer Jay Sedrish, also found guilty, received a 10-year suspended sentence.
While watching movies, viewers often marvel at the masterful stunts performed by the actors. In the most dangerous moments, the main actors are often replaced by professional stuntmen, but sometimes the artists insist on independent work in all scenes without exception. But sometimes actors have to pay the highest price for being able to shoot without stunt doubles. In our review, domestic actors who died on the set.
Andrey Rostotsky
The son of Stanislav Rostotsky and Nina Menshikova was not only an actor, but also a stuntman and stunt director. He was very talented and always worked carefully, calculated possible dangers in advance, was collected and focused during work. And he died during the filming of the film "My Border", in which he acted as a director.
Andrei Rostotsky, when choosing a location for filming the next scene of the film, fell off a cliff near the Maiden's Tears waterfall near the Krasnaya Polyana ski resort. The 30-meter rock left no chance of survival. The actor and director received many injuries, including a craniocerebral one. Andrei Rostotsky died on the operating table.
Evgeny Urbansky
The creative biography of the actor was very bright. Evgeny Urbansky, after graduating from the Moscow Art Theater School, was accepted into the troupe of the Stanislavsky Theater. On the theater stage, he sometimes played 28 performances a month. The debut of the actor in the cinema was also successful. He made his debut in Yuri Raizman's film The Communist and instantly became one of the country's most popular and recognizable actors. Later, Evgeny Urbansky starred with Grigory Chukhrai, Andrei Konchalovsky, Vasily Ordynsky and other directors.
While working on the film by Alexei Saltykov "Director", Evgeny Urbansky had to rush through the dunes and overtake the motorcade in the frame. The first take seemed to the second director not quite spectacular, and he suggested reshooting the scene. Yevgeny Urbansky supported the director and got behind the wheel of the car again. This time, a kind of "flight" by car through the dunes was unsuccessful. The car overturned, the actor received many injuries. They didn't take him to the hospital. He was only 33 years old.
Alexander Chekaevsky
Alexander Chekaevsky was one of the most sought-after actors in the Leningrad Pushkin Theater. In addition to serving in the theater, the actor acted in films and, according to his colleagues, was very talented. In 1963, during the filming of the film "Hamlet" directed by Grigory Kozintsev, he was hit by a train and died instantly.
Inna Burduchenko
Filming in the film "Flower on the Stone" was supposed to be the second film work for the young talented actress Inna Burduchenko. The heroine of Inna had to take out the banner from the burning building. But at some point, a wooden burning barracks collapsed on the young actress. She was pulled out of the fire by a simple miner Sergei Ivanov, who himself received multiple burns.
Inna was brought to the burn center in Donetsk (the shooting took place in the mining region). For 15 days, doctors fought for the life of the young actress, and numerous donors donated blood and skin for the girl. It was not possible to save Inna Burduchenko, who was also in her third month of pregnancy. The director of the painting "The Flower on the Stone" was sentenced to two years for the death of the actress.
Mikaela Drozdovskaya
The actress, who starred in "Mimino" and "Volunteers", "Running" and "Seven Nannies", was popular and loved by the audience and directors. She could play many more bright roles, but an accident on the set in Ordzhonikidze claimed the life of a talented actress.
When the entire film crew left for the city, the actress was left alone in the house where the filmmakers lived. It was November, it was already quite cold, and the house was not heated. Michaela hoped to keep herself warm with the lights, but she didn't think that the heat from the lamps could cause a fire. The actress woke up when a blanket caught fire, slipping onto one of the spotlights, but she could no longer get out of the fire on her own due to carbon monoxide poisoning. When the door was opened, the fire began to spread even faster due to the draft. The actress, who received severe burns, was urgently sent to Moscow, but even the country's best specialists were unable to save the life of Mikaela Drozdovskaya.
Yuri Gusev
A wonderful actor did not immediately find his calling. He managed to graduate from the Electromechanical College, serve in the army and work in his specialty at various research institutes. During his student years and during his work, Yuri Gusev was an active participant in amateur art activities. And then he decided to change his profession and become an actor. He has about 90 films to his credit, he starred in the films "Eternal Call" and "Long Road in the Dunes", "Winter Evening in Gagra" and "Return of the Resident".
An absurd accident caused the death of Yuri Gusev in 1991 on the set in Tashkent. The actor simply stumbled and fell, but so unsuccessfully that he received an open head injury, from which he died on the spot.
Sergei Bodrov Jr.
The talented actor and director died in 2002 while working on the film The Messenger in the Karmadon Gorge. After the end of the filming day, the whole group was heading to the city when the rapid descent of the glacier began. Ice and stones, moving at a speed of about 180 kilometers per hour, covered the entire gorge in a short time. 125 people were buried under a 60-meter layer. Together with Sergei Bodrov, more than 40 people from his film crew died. All of them are listed as missing, the bodies of the dead have not been found.
Cinema is a small life that an actor lives in the frame. It would seem that there is nothing wrong with playing a tragic role. But when this role is not played, but already lived in real life, it becomes clear
Actors, although they seem to be celestials to fans, are the same people as we are. And like all of us, we are mortal. Sometimes it happens that in the midst of filming, one of the stars of a particular project passes away, dooming filmmakers to take emergency measures so that the whole film does not sink into oblivion after the artist ...
1. Bruce Lee
On May 10, 1973, while filming The Game of Death in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee was found dead after taking a headache pill. An autopsy determined that the cause of death was cerebral edema.

The helicopter is supposed to fly at a height of eight meters, too low to dodge pyrotechnic explosions. One of the explosions damaged the tail rotor blades, ripping the rotor to pieces, which killed Morrow and Lee. Chen died in a helicopter crash. Everyone who was at this time in the helicopter itself survived, having received only minor injuries.
8. Oliver Reed
Twelve years after The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Oliver Reed returned to the screen in an interesting role in Ridley Scott's Gladiator.

9. Marilyn Monroe
Filming for George Cukor's comedy didn't go well from the start. On the one hand, Marilyn was fired, and on the other hand, George refused to shoot someone else in this role, so the famous beauty was reinstated at work. Anyway, before Monroe could get familiar with her new role, she was found dead in her home, the cause being a barbiturate overdose. Filming was subsequently discontinued, and the filmed clips were included in a documentary about Monroe in 2001.
10. John Candy
The creative path of a promising actor suddenly ended on March 4, 1994 in Mexico, where the filming of the film "Caravan to the East" took place.

11. Heath Ledger
On January 22, 2008, Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment in Manhattan. An autopsy was unable to establish the exact cause of death, so an additional toxicological examination was required, as a result of which the official cause of Ledger's death was announced - acute intoxication caused by the combined action of painkillers (including narcotic analgesics), sleeping pills and tranquilizers (oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine).

13. Natalie Wood
On the night of November 29-30, 1981, Golden Globe winner Natalie Wood drowned after falling drunk from a yacht into the sea. The official version says that it was an accident, although there were rumors that her husband pushed the star overboard - for the sake of insurance of $ 13 million.
Be that as it may, Wood did not have time to finish a few scenes in the fantasy drama Brainstorm (1983). Studio officials, sensing that the project would not pay off, wanted to close it and compensate for the losses with the help of the same insurance. But director Douglas Trumbull bucked and insisted on finishing the tape with unused footage of Natalie and scenes with a stunt double filmed from the back.
14. Chris Farley
Funny fat Farley is now forgotten, but in 1997, when he passed away from a drug overdose, the actor from "Tommy Buddy" (1995) and "Beverly Hills Ninja" (1997) was considered a rising comedy star. And he demanded $ 6 million for the role.
The death of a 33-year-old actor made the creators of the cartoon "Shrek" (2001) think. It was Chris who voiced the green ogre and, in general, managed to record all the lines provided for by the script long before the animators sat down to work. But the producers were already thinking about a sequel, and they didn't want one voice to sound in the first part, and another in the next. Therefore, they hired Mike Myers to re-voice the role, and Farley's work was sent to the archive for eternal storage.
15. Paul Walker
Filming for Fast & Furious 7 was in full swing when, on November 30, 2013, Paul and his friend Roger Rodas got into a car accident in a red Porsche Carrera GT. The driver (Rodas) lost control and crashed into a lamppost at high speed, and then into a tree. Roger died immediately, and Paul was alive for a few more seconds: he was finished off by a fire that engulfed the car.
Universal Studios had to take a six-month timeout to redo the script. After brainstorming, they decided not to cut the deceased actor from the film, but to change the plot in such a way that the hero had to retire. The missing scenes are now being filmed with Walker's stunt doubles, his own brothers Caleb and Cody, whose faces will be computer-generated to closely resemble that of their deceased relative.
We often see in films the dangers that lie in wait for the characters. Filmmaking has become so difficult that, of course, injuries on the job are inevitable. The use of powerful equipment and explosions can lead not only to injury, but also to death. But shooting continues, films are being made, and we remain in the dark about how they went.
1. "The Twilight Zone" (1983) Vic Morrow died. The worst tragedy that happened on the set is the death of Vic Morrow. The film "The Twilight Zone" consists of small mystical novels.

Explosions rumbled in the background, and a helicopter circled over the lake. It was because of the helicopter that the tragedy occurred. A pyrotechnic explosion damaged the tail rotor.

Would be another carpenter who screwed his hand with a screwdriver. But the worst was yet to come. There was a scene filmed where actor Michael Massey as Fanboy shot the main character Brandon Lee, The Crow. The weapon was serious, Magnum 44 caliber.

8. "The Exorcist" (1973) - mystical events. There is still no exact data on the number of deaths that occurred during the filming of The Exorcist.
