OSHA fined the production $84,000 for violations found after Lee’s death, but the fine was later reduced to $55,000. 30, 1986, file photo, actor Brandon Lee, son of the late martial arts expert and film star Bruce Lee, poses for a picture (AP Photo/Lacy Atkins, File) This is almost like killing somebody, just to have the opportunity to do a photography or painting of a dead body.Īn artist, who forgets reality in his art, becomes danger.In this Jan. People like that, should never direct a movie. He probably didn't even realize anymore, he was risking anybodies lives and was just focused on the scenery. In my opinion, Landis totally lost his mind, just to have an incredible scene on tape.
TWILIGHT ZONE HELICOPTER CRASH FULL
It doesn't matter, if Spielberg was on location or not - if he wasn't, it was HIS fault!īesides, Landis obviously was not qualified for this scene and the producers, including Spielberg, placed lives in danger by giving Landis full control of this scene. This scene, in the way it was shot, never should have been approved by any producer. In my opionion, Spielberg is responsible also - he didn't supervise this production carefully enough. And its sad also, Spielberg and Landis got away with it. Was the helicopter supposed to be in the same frame with the actors, right above their heads or what intention did Landis have? It was pure insanity to have the helicopter and the actors in one take in front of the camera and urge the helicopter pilot to fly lower and lower. It was even more irresponsible to have two children right in the middle of all these explosions, fire, water and huge machinery (helicopter). It was irresponsible to have Vic Morrow do this shot without a double/stuntman. Not for a political cause or some greater sacrifice or awareness, but for a stupid movie. No matter how you rationalize it, the bottom line is: You are watching a video of one man and two children DYING. Yes, I am aware of morbid curiosity and how it can get the best of us, but you will regret watching this. So I will end this dreadful flashback that I will never be able to "un-see" with this advice: If you have any portion of a soul, or a conscience, don't watch the footage. Unfortunately, the only responses I got were along the lines of: "Censorship = WRONG" and "You don't get to tell ME what to watch!!!!" I even went on to Vic Morrow's forum and urged people not to watch the footage.
I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't stop reading about the production/accident/court case. I was *beep* up for days after watching that.
And then a wider shot, making the night set almost look like a very large room, the helicopter spinning out and crash landing on top of these smaller specks in the water.ĪWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. In the video, he is obviously struggling to carry these 2 kids underneath the special effects, sluggishly trying to keep pace in such heavy water.
This had to be it! But then we see poor Vic carrying these two children through waist deep water. Shots of a burning village and children crying.
TWILIGHT ZONE HELICOPTER CRASH MOVIE
We paused the actual movie and full screened the video and pressed play.Īt first, it did seem like deleted footage. He typed in "Twilight Zone movie alternative ending", and a video popped up. So my friend with a laptop did some research while we were tripping/watching the movie. Our acid brains wondered aloud if his segment was meant to end differently since he died during filming. We came across the Twilight Zone movie, and someone said, "Why not?"ĭuring the first segment, I recalled out loud that the actor playing the lead died in a helicopter crash while they were making the movie. The only thing worse than watching the accident footage is watching it while tripping on LSD.Ībout 2 years ago, me and my roommates were tripping all night and were having fun watching different movies on Instant Netflix to keep us entertained.
