Yeah... now that was some shit. So many rules broken in that case, and I'm not sure anyone involved did any time. I know Landis sure didn't, though again, I'm not entirely sure it should've been Landis's place to take all the blame for that. On a film set, there's a lot of ways to pass the buck.

Yeah. And the kids who were killed were working after hours, breaking all kinds of child labor laws while doing a big stunt piece with helicopters and charges going off. Crazy. That shit wouldn't fly now in a million ****ing years, at least not in this country on any union show.

Wasn't there an incident in 'The Crow' where there was a projectile lodged in the barrel and a blank produced enough energy to convert it into a deadly projectile?
Does anyone know the prerequisites for a prop guy? Maybe they shouldn't be in charge of things that go boom. And what happened to Baby Lee? Was he a stunt double on this set? Did Alec Baldwin get a hold of him as well? Last edited by Otter; 07-13-2024 at 04:51 PM.. |

But I guarantee every actor who has actually had to fire their weapon, has had some modicum of training. Probably not some grueling boot camp thing or anything, but I guarantee the stunt coordinator, f/x guys, and armorer/props people have gotten together with that actor to make sure they are comfortable and safe. And again, here's the rub... real bullets should NEVER be on a film set EVER. That to me is the biggest mistake here, and it's egregious that happened and downright pathetic. And I guarantee Baldwin didn't hire the armorer, or any hiring on this show. Not his role. He might've had a say on certain things here and there, and perhaps put in some input, but he was not in charge of anything day to day. Not his job. |

Not sure how it works everywhere, but I know in New York, in order to get your union card as a props person, you have to have had worked a certain number of days on union shows and there's also a lengthy written test. The test isn't easy from what I've heard, and many people flunk it on their first try. As far as things that go boom, that's the f/x guys, or if there are firearms, it's the armorers and f/x team that handle that. If the weapons aren't being fired, the props team will often share the load, or handle it entirely. |

Yeah, I heard that story too. At any rate, whatever was in the barrel got dislodged and became a projectile hitting Brandon in the abdomen, and ultimately killing him.

Don't think I've ever met Alec and if I did it was so brief I can't remember but I have no skin in this fight however, I don't find him at fault from what little I know. |

As an actor, I'm not really seeing anything that Baldwin did morally wrong. He relied on the gun being 'cold'.
But there had already been a number of people quit over safety and working conditions. There seems to me that there was criminal mismanagement on somebody's part. And Baldwin seems a prime suspect in that. |
