that's so unfortunate.

It's unfortunate about the prop firearms accident's on movie sets which occurred with Actors Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee R.l.P.

7 of the film’s camera crew walked off the job, “We cited everything from lack of payment for three weeks, taking our hotels away despite asking for them in our deals, lack of Covid safety, and on top of that, poor gun safety! Poor on-set safety period!”

So far - it sounds like exactly what the film unions in the USA are working toward in their new Iatse master agreement. Safety, respectful workplace…

Very sad news. All prop guns need to be test fired on set at a location to confirm there’s no projectile departing.

By a prop gun?! Wtf

So, are you saying Alex Baldwin murdered her?

Senile mutha _______a! MAXIMUM SENTENCE

The Shadow knows ...

🤨🕵🏼‍♂️

Hollywood needs to ban all prop guns. There’s no reason in this day and age that the effects of a gunshot can’t be added in post. If they can make an actor look 3 years younger, they can easily add a boom and some smoke. The story is going to grow.

How do they even use anything that is remotely like a gun on a settle this? Why can’t they just add the booming sound etc in post?

That's one heck of a prop.

There was an actor years ago who fired a gun loaded with blanks and it had the leftover piece of bullet left into it from a previous round, which turned it into a live round essentially and he died. Could have been a malfunction.

Did he say YOU'RE not FAKE GUN in Trump accent

Jeez

Omg……condolensces to their families. This is crazy. This is the same thing that happened to Brandon Lee on “The Crow” decades ago , just wow 🙏🏼
