Some months ago, alec baldwin news was made by an accident on the set of the movie “Rust”. The actor recorded a scene with what he assumes were blank ammunition; that is, they were modified to simulate a real shot. However, this was not the case, as the director of photography Halyna Hutchins She was shocked and died shortly after.
This event revived more than one debate on networks and, in turn, motivated thousands to remember a similar event: the death of Brandon Lee on the set of “The Raven”. The famous son of Bruce Lee (whose death is still a great mystery in Hollywood) was filming a scene for the film; but a revolver with blank bullets signed his tragic end.
What happened?
Brandon Lee played Eric Draven in “The Crow.” The scene in question was filmed at night and, according to the BBC, showed the protagonist entering an apartment, in which he discovers that his girlfriend was being raped by four gang members. Thus, one of them, played by Michael MasseeI had to shoot him up close.
That’s when the unthinkable happens. Massee used the prop gun and the shoot was done. But the tension began when they saw that Lee did not get up. A 44 caliber projectile passed through his abdomen and hit internal organs before reaching his spine.
The artist was taken to the hospital, but to no avail. Lee died on March 31, 1993 at the age of 28, without anticipating that “The Raven” made him a victim and a myth.
The events left a disappointment among his fans. Many believe that the reason behind his unexpected death is related to a supposed curse in the Lee family. This, after his father, Bruce Lee, died under mysterious circumstances.
As a step?
BBC reports that the revolver used by Michael Massee had been used for other scenes. The device had not been properly inspected, so they did not notice that it still had a projectile inside. With this in mind, negligence was talked about for a long time.
However, according to the aforementioned portal, in September 1993, prosecutor Jerry Spivey announced that the subsequent police investigation determined that there was no crime and that there would be no reason to file charges against any person involved. The case was closed.
