Hi just wondering why is the background of your channel background from Erased. (Are you planning to cover it someday or do you just like the manga) I figured that it has to hold some importance to you since you put it there. (Im just curious)
The fact that the actors for Roar even had a safe word And you can hear them saying it in some of the scenes they put in the movie means that the director did nothing to stop the attacks, he just kept rolling. That's crazy.
Most of those mentioned aren't accidents, but malpractice to the extreme. Those directors are abusers at best. Really highlights the importance of workplace safety and toxic work culture.
I once met Malcolm Mcdowell and I was cosplaying as Alex. He loved my cosplay. Pretty epic. However, we got into a small conversation and I made an offhand comment about Kubrick. I said: Kubrick didn't have the most ethical ways of filming. (I was thinking about Shelley Duvall at the time.) He didn't have much to say about that and that made me feel embarrassed. Thought he didn't feel the same or whatever. Then I found out about all the crap Kubrick put him through and felt better about my interaction. At least I didn't diss someone he full on respected or had a perfectly good experience with.
@@hackerjamsandjustweggamer not really a statement that can be trusted. A lot of people lie in interviews as to not damage their reputation, the reputation of the people they're talking about, or to generally not be confrontational.
Another Clockwork Orange anecdote, Stanley Kubrick, upon finding out that Malcolm McDowell has an intense irrational fear of reptiles- Kubrick introduced Alex's pet python Basil. In the novel by Anthony Burgess, Alex does not have a snake, Kubrick deliberately put it in the film just to fuck with him. McDowell had to handle the snake in three scenes and he was terrified
@@happyfrigginrainbowcookies with him being as much of a perfectionist as he was I’d say he was more just off the wall than anything I doubt he enjoyed all the shit he put Donofrio, Duvall and Mcdowall through
He created some pure masteriece movies though and that can not be denied and 99% of the actors who dealt with him still had fine careers and even went on to have fantastic ones due to being in his films only shelly duvall couldnt handle it.
The lion attacks aren't even the half of Roar's insane production problems. There was a flood on set that swept away and killed several of the lions as well as a lot of the set, and apparently a fire that almost burned the whole set and cameras down as well. Mother Nature herself was _begging_ the director to stop this madness.
0:21 A fun tidbit about this - MJ's hair caught on fire on the day that would be the exact midpoint of his life. He was born 8/29/1958, his hair burnt 1/27/1984, and he died 6/25/2009. There's 9281 days between both.
You should talk about the stuntwoman’s death on the set of “Vampire in Brooklyn”. Her crash pad was overinflated. She had family members on set to watch her when it happened.
@@elven_spaghetti4976 found this in a screenrant article: "One day, while filming a stunt involving a 42-foot backwards fall, Davis bounced off of the huge airbag that was meant to cushion her landing, subsequently slamming into the building and then into the ground. While not killed immediately, Davis sustained critical injuries, and passed away after spending two agonizing weeks clinging to life in the hospital."
I’m surprised that the crow incident wasn’t mentioned, similar to the rust shooting it’s more tragic, when actor Brandon lee (son of Bruce lee) was playing the main character, actor Michael massee pulled out a prop gun and fired at him but one of the blanks still had gunpowder and ended going threw his abdomen, Brandon later died at the hospital from his injury, he was only 28 years old, the crow released without the scene which was a good idea to change it to a knife throw. Edit: also the stuntmen that finished Brandon’s scenes he didn’t make after he died would later make the John wick franchise
More specifically it was a real gun loaded with improperly made dummy rounds, improvised from live cartridges that had the powder charges removed by the special effects crew, so in close-ups the revolver would show normal-looking ammunition. However, the crew neglected to remove the primers from the cartridges, and at some point before the fatal event, one of the rounds had been fired. Although there were no powder charges, the energy from the ignited primer was enough to separate the bullet from the casing and push it part-way into the gun barrel, where it got stuck-a dangerous condition known as a squib load. This pretty much was the same as being shot with a real bullet as it sadly showed
Probably the sole fact you’re surprised it isn’t mentioned, because it’s so commonly mentioned that anybody watching a video like this has a 90% probability of already knowing about it, if not THAT being the only one they know of.
Hearing about incidents occurring in A Clockwork Orange is news to me, but not particularly surprising news. Stanley Kubrick, as masterful a craftsman as he was, strikes me as somebody who REALLY doesn't care much for his cast's wellbeing. The Shining absolutely WRECKED Shelly Duvall from all the stress she was put under for the sake of "authenticity." Why he subjected her to torment when he could've just let an actress do her job and ACT, I don't know, but it seems we're past the point now where that's as easy to get away with, which is nice
Yeah the films could've been just as good without the torture and abuse. But any profession where a person has power over others and can control them will draw in people who want to abuse it. Teachers, nurses, doctors, directors, religious leaders, etc. A LOT of nurses are the same people who were bullies throughout highschool
There was an indie horror/thriller film called Incident In A Ghostland. Main actress Taylor Hicks was gruesomely injured by a falling glass door or something like that; she survived but needed exhaustive surgery. Now that's not a particularly well-known film like A Clockwork Orange but it's worth mentioning just because of the gory nature of the accident.
You should mention Midnight Rider a movie that was cancelled because of its accident. The crew were filming a dream sequence on real train tracks (I doubt they had actual permission to film) and thought that all the trains had passed for the day. Unexpectedly a train came. The crew tried their best to make it to safety and almost succeeded, but when the train hit the bed, it caused it among other props to go flying. One cameraman was hit by it and kills.
@@vasile-vladivanovici9430 Similar to Noah's Ark but a man and two children (who legally should not have been there) were drowned and/or decapitated by a helicopter. They put the actor and children at risk and still faced no criminal charges. They killed 3 people and got away with it.
Alfred Hitchcock once said, "actors should be treated like cattle." It says a lot about how he and other famous directors, especially so back then, view filmmaking and the people they work with. So glad auteurs are fading out of favor.
What the actual fuck is wrong with him? How about actors should be treated like fucking PEOPLE cause that's what they literally are! Dude's insane lmao
Actually, if you look into that quote and the context, you see what he meant: "Fundamentally, actors are a race apart. This group is divided into two sections: first, those who have talent and have never received any recognition for it, and, second, those who have received recognition without having any talent. Either way, they're cattle."
@@eins2001 the context doesn't really make it any better. Like he's still saying "both types of actors are basically animals that are to do as I say and go wherever I put them." It's dehumanizing.
@@eins2001 Oh I see now, he's an abusive asshole AND he's delirious, thanks for shining light on this so we can hate him more. I'm gonna just assume you agree with us and you're giving us more context to show us that we were wrong assuming he was just a little bit messed up and that in fact he is borderline psychotic. I bet psycho is a biography, also BTW the birds is the most trash film I may have ever seen given the supposed talent of the director.
@@zeropoint11guzman48I know this is a month old but just incase you still wanna know Brandon Lee who was playing the main character had a scene where he was supposed to be shot. However due to a dummy round being stuck in the chamber on accident when the gun was shot the dummy round fired and killed Brandon Lee. I can’t explain well but there are videos on the accident if you want to know more.
6:53 “knowing that no one got injured when making of this film is a wild fact” I’m assuming you meant nobody got killed since you were just describing somebodies leg getting crushed by an elephant seconds earlier
Oh make no mistake, Stanley Kubrick was a proper psychopath. There’s a reason a lot of actors in his films gave up acting, he drove them insane, tortured them, injured them, abused them and actively played on their fears. It’s why film buffs loved his films, he did get some amazing acting and reactions out of them but he was properly unorthodox about it. As a former student of film I appreciate how much effort went into his films but when you realise what it cost people, you do wonder of it was really worth it.
I don't think it was worth it. Most of the reason I didn't like The Shining is because I thought the female lead's acting was really off. After looking up that he bullied her on set and treated her like crap, it makes sense that she didn't perform as well as she could have. In short, Kubrick was a prick.
It's horrific how many directions got away with mistreating actors on set and putting their lives at risk and then after they take all the credit for the sacrifices multiple other people took
Heidi von Beltz is one of the most horrifying accidents I've ever heard of. She got called by her fiancee at the last minute to do a stunt for Farrah Fawcett in Cannonball Run. Long story short, no one thought to put seatbelts in an Aston Martin and she was paralyzed in an accident. Her fiancee who contacted her to do the stunt, Bobby Bass, completely abandonded her after the accident and the money won in the ensuing lawsuit ended up evaporating overnight from lawyer and medical bills. Her father, before he unalived himself, asked if she wanted to go with him. She lived her last days being foreclosed on and passing at the age of 59. Things haven't changed and probably never will. So long as cutting corners and union busters continue to happen, pain and death isn't far behind.
Milo and Otis- Animals were harmed during the making of this film. Around 20 Cats and 37 Dogs. During the Bear fight scene alone, the director just kept feeding dogs to the bear.
Fun fact one time when I was taking out my contact, I scratched my eye cornea and I had to go to the ER so I can’t imagine what type of pain he also felt during the making of the clockwork Orange.
I think the twilight zone accident might be the worst. Mostly bc A) two children who weren’t supposed to be there were killed ON SCREEN And B) the entire case was heavily televised and the irresponsible fucks completely got away with it
There is one shot of it that in very low quality but still shows the 3 silhouettes next to each other. One of the frames shows 2 of their heads floating with red mist where their necks should be. It wasn’t the most graphic thing I’ve ever seen due to the quality but it was easily the most disturbing.
The way he said that kubrik had the audacity to make malcolm mcdowel do the ludovico scene again is like hes never heard of kubrik. He tryed convincing mathew modine on the set of full metal jacket to stay on set when his wife was giving birth and he made shelly duvall do more then a hundred takes in one scene in the shining
The first accidents on set that I’ve heard about was when the actress who played the Wicked Witch of the West got burned during the fire scene and also the original actor that was supposed to play the tin man got an allergic reaction so they had to get someone else to play the tin man and also of course fixed up the costume
@@brysoncherry9884there’s nothing to prove it’s basic logic that a company offering to “pay for other people” will want to make a profit and aren’t doing it at a deficiency to themselves out of the kindness of their hearts. They’re business’ not charity foundations.
I wouldn’t even call the Noah’s Ark incident an accident, that would imply something went wrong then what was intended/planned. The director KNEW that there was a good chance people could’ve gotten hurt from this stunt or even killed from it all and instead of dialing back the intensity for the sake of safety(like maybe not use 1,000 gallons of water, and use a smaller number of gallons instead) or you know, sacrifice the artistic vision of the director for the sake of making sure his actors were relatively unharmed in the filming of the scene(whether that be using dummies instead of people where the brute force of the water would be pouring in or more controlled water movements for the actors to be in, etc.), he instead choose to film it as dangerously as possible because he wanted it to look realistic. If anything what the director choose to do could’ve been considered pre-meditated murder, not in any way shape or form an “accident”. Would love to see you make a part 2 to this, there were a lot of incidents that I hadn’t heard of before
Fun fact: In the first Friday the 13th movie, one of the characters (I've never seen the movie) gets fake blood in their eyes from murdering somebody. Since the budget was so low, they had to use film developing fluid or something like that because fake blood was too expensive, lol. Apparently, the guy who got the fake blood in his eyes said he couldn't see out of his right eye for 6 months.
9:04 Another example of why I’m only taking inspiration from the good parts of Stanley Kubrick, but never touching the questionable and bad stuff that he did! (Specifically, I’ll be taking inspiration from his cinematography and script writing, but doing the complete opposite of how he treated most of his actors!)
*Felt it was approproate to mention the accident in Transformers: Dark Of The Moon where a cable has horrificly injured an extra's face, and in respect and donation for her recovery, Michael Bay reused old footage from a previous film. I think it sucks people called him lazy for that decision.*
I know it shouldn't be, but watching Michael Jackson start his lil dance then immediately running off stage as his hair progressively has the fire spreading, and then disappearing into the smoke is absolutely hilarious.
It's really not funny when you realize that the Pepsi accident is eventually what lead to his death. He became addicted to painkillers to ease the excruciating pain he went through with that accident.
You did a fantastic job with this. I almost didn't even click on it because everybody knows about the John Landis incident, the Brandon Lee incident and the entire filming of The exorcist ect. You actually brought up incidents that most of which I hadn't heard of and I think you did a fantastic job breaking everything down as well.
i know nobody cares but i like paying attention to small things, its funny to me how the most replayed part of this entire video is specifically the point where the sponsored segment ends LOL
Love your videos bro! I have to say though, I think the worst and most insane one set incident comes from the twilight zone movie. I remember years ago seeing the actual scene where him and those two young kids get horribly killed by a crashing helicopter. Vick morrow and a little boy get decapitated and a young girl gets crushed under the landing skid… absolutely horrifying
I'm not sure if "sever" is the right term for Jackie's injury . You don't sever a hole in your head. If you severed your head it would be separated from your body.
if you make a part 2, you definitely gotta include the twilight zone helicopter accident that killed the actor Vic Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen. there is also footage of this happening on youtube. Pretty crazy accident
You didnt research the Roar segment. There was one incident that led to one actres being accidentally scratched by one of the lions and it was the one incident that pushed things a bit too far. Also, the father of the entire cast was the director, if I recall correctly
I'm genuinely surprised that the Twilight Zone accident wasn't covered in this video. Lead actor Vic Morrow and two children were put into an insanely dangerous stunt scene where a helicopter was flying overhead while he carried them over a shallow lake. The director kept telling the pilot to get closer, leading to the helicopter spinning out of control and crashing on top of them. The helicopter blades decapitated Vic and one child, while the other was crushed. There's actual fucking footage of this online. People have posted a frame by frame progression of events where you just see it happening in the blink of an eye. It was chilling, and it forever changed my view on life.
1:40 this is actually inaccurate. The branch didn’t break on the first attempt. The footage of this scene we see in the film is the first shot. The director of the film was ready to move on with production after filming the scene once, but Jackie Chan insisted on reshooting it as a backup. On the second shoot is when the branch broke and Jackie Chan fell 5 metres to the ground
The story about A Clockwork Orange isn't quite correct, only partially. You said "they forced him to do the scene again." That's not true. The 1st time they did the scene, Malcolm McDowell did go temporarily blind for a day or 2 and his cornea was scratched. Something important related to this story that you may not know is the director, Stanley Kubrick, was notorious for doing a shiteton of takes. In The Shining, there's a scene where Jack Nicholson is in crazy mode and slowly moving towards Shelley Duvall while she's backing up a flight of stairs, trying to keep her distance. She's also swinging a baseball bat at him repeatedly, trying to keep him from getting any closer and she actually hits him when close to the top and he falls down the stairs while she runs away. That scene is maybe 1 minute or 2 and typically on average a director would do between 2-20 takes of a scene, maybe 20-30 at the extreme end, depending on whether or not the scene is done how the director wants it and as long as no technical mishaps happen and no actor forgets a line or gives a less than great performance, then the director, after getting a take or 2 they like, they'll usually do one more take for safety and then move onto another scene. For that stairs scene in The Shining, Stanley Kubrick made them do *127 friggin takes!!!* Shelley Duvall doesn't have to do much acting in that scene when she cries because she was actually exhausted and scared irl. Anyway, after just the 1st take or 2 of the Ludovico technique scene in A Clockwork Orange, Malcolm McDowell got his cornea scratched and they stopped filming that scene. The temporary blindness lasted about 1 or 2 days but it halted production. Due to his eye injury, Malcolm pleaded with Stanley Kubrick to move that scene to the end of the shooting schedule, that way if his cornea was scratched again, he wouldn't have to hold up production to heal and Kubrick agreed that was the smart choice. So, that was actually the last scene they shot. Malcolm McDowell wasn't "forced" to shoot the scene again, it was _his request_ to move the scene and Kubrick agreed. Malcolm McDowell also went into the scene pretty much knowing he'd likely get some sort of eye injury after shooting that scene, which of course, inevitably happened again. It wasn't a surprise that they sprung on McDowell, it was moved for practical reasons. *An additional fun fact:* During the Ludovico technique scene in A Clockwork Orange where Malcolm McDowell has the eye clamps on, there's one of the white lab coated scientists conducting the experiment of the Ludovico technique. The guy is sitting next to Malcolm McDowell, continously applying eye drops to his eyes so they don't dry out. That person isn't an actor, he's actually a real life doctor, optometrist specifically, making sure that Malcolm McDowell doesn't suffer any permanent issues and is making sure he's getting enough eye drops to keep his eyes from getting too dry.
the thing about the first roar clips you showed just proves how lucky they were, bc you're wrong, they're not mauling them- that is genuine big cat play behavior, i've seen it a lot. meaning the injuries to the cast and crew could have been so much worse and more common had they not been so lucky. that said even play behavior from these things can be deadly, they don't exactly understand how much more fragile we are than them when attempting to play
Hey, YET; I think you should cover "Tyler's Last Words" in a future "Disturbing Media"/"Midnight Frights" volume... much like "Magician Cuts Wife in Half", it is a fake video that gives eerily REAL vibes, but was debunked by ScareTheater. Hope you cover it in a future volume. Also, I am in Pakistan on vacation right now, and I made sure to watch the entirety of a few ads through on the 3-hour-long Disney iceberg video, for you to earn some money due to how RU-vid treats you... much love from Pakistan...!!!
Great Video as always! Surprised that the Eiger Sanction wasn't mentioned though. A 1975 Clint Eastwood film that almost didn't come to theaters due to the death that occurred while filming on the actual Eiger mountain. From what I could find, Eastwood wanted to wrap up after the death but other climbers helping the film urged him to finish in honor of the loss. Can't confirm that part but it's what I could find with quick google searches.
Jeez with all these hangings going wrong, maybe Hollywood should just borrow what we all did in High School video production class. Hold the noose like we're about to use it Camera is now at our feet while we kick the chair away But we're secretly hanging from something by our arms lmao
Heres one literally no one has talked about: Olivia Jackson. Olivia Jackson was a stunt performer who lost her arm, and almost her life, during the filming of a resident evil film. That womans career was ended by a poorly planned stunt
Jackie Chan after breaking 18636.36 bones in his body, nearly losing his ability to move and narrowly avoiding the possibility of a coma or death after every stunt: guys i think i broke my finger.
You'd think when it comes to hanging sceans they'd have like a safe action so the actor could tell people they're not okay. Like tapping on the leg or something
You know how deep you're gonna go when you start off with a famous actor cracking his skull open, fracturing his pelvis, and burning off all the skin on his hands.
The iconic *Rush Hour* trilogy introduced me to Jackie Chan; followed by the *Shanghai* movies with Owen Wilson. 😁 When a freaking *director* couldn't be bothered to afford trained animals. 🙄 Speaking of Owen, Malcolm McDowell played the bad guy in *I Spy* . 😳
Man, not only can you see her body fall on the outside of the glass, but you can actually see her crash into the pillar in the shot just before it. It's crazy that she managed to live from that, and I'm certainly glad she's still with us, but dang, that should've never happened. None of these should've ever happened.
Another crazy accident was captured on the Twilight Zone movie set, during one scene involving a real helicopter something went wrong resulting in it crashing and 3 people losing their lives including a child actor
The 30 ft drop one makes me so upset because she literally told him that it was dangerous and brought up real concerns just for him to act stupid and put lives at risk just for a good shot. So unprofessional.
scenarios like these are why I don’t wanna become an entertainer, no matter how much I wanna be one. imagine dying at that very moment, and the people present don’t believe it. danish actor and comedian dirch passer passed away in such a way. he was preparing for a stage performance but suffered a stroke backstage, and needed medical attention. an announcer ran up on stage telling folks about the situation. the crowd laughs, thinking that it’s part of the show. absolutely macabre and heartbreaking
TW animal death. Also with Roar, not really accident related but there were also floods and some people had to be rescued. 15 of the lions and tigers escaped because of this, the head lion was killed and had to be replaced. Because of all of this, there was a $3 million damage costs and production was halted for a whole year. A complete disaster movie!
Accidents happen, and this may be considered normal to some extent, however it can go wrong for multiple reasons. Film sets aren't always prone to accidents, which makes it even scarier. Just be mindful of the fact that you won't always be granted safety and/or security in these types of scenarios.
A note about Stanley Kubrick. A Clockwork Orange, along with The Shining are usually seen as good examples that people use to say that Kubrick mistreated the stars of his movies. Not only are the techniques utilized hardly unique for a lot of auteur directors like Kubrick (Hitchcock, anyone?), but a lot of the examples typically utilized have been distorted in various ways. Especially in the case of Shelley Duvall, of whom there's a rather in-depth Twitter thread about her time on The Shining, and her career in other aspects. She and McDowell both had at least some form of respect for Kubrick once filming wrapped up, even if certain moments on the set could've resulted in loss of life or limb.
