As many else, I too read about this on Cracked, but the article failed to mention that there's a lot of movies that included real death scenes - for example the german "Mein Leben für Irland" (My Life for Ireland), in which, as Actors later claimed, an extra set off a real grenade and was killed alongside several others, but since it was suppose to be a War-scene, the Director included it and nobody spotted the differeance between real and fake.
Wow, these old movies werent fucking around. When you see people die they actually die. Wonder if Saw would make more sales if they killed the actors on screen.
@zinx50 Hey, yeah, I never actually though of that! I've read somewhere that snuff film do not exist, but when you look at the (actual!) body count of some hollywood oldies, one might beg the differ.
