Yes I remember a few of them. One that I was sure was going to make the list wasn't here. Brandon Lee on the set of the Crow. He was a rising star.
My heart goes out to everyone that has lost a loved one or a friend unexpectedly. There's almost nothing worse and let's everyone know how short life really is. Peace out.
During the filming of Top Gun an actual Top Gun pilot died in a crash. I’m not sure about all the background but the name of the pilot is there after the movie because it’s dedicated to him.
Hearing stories like these makes me have a lot of respect for stunt doubles for doing said stunts
Even Vic Morrow had misgivings about shooting the scene that ended up killing him and those two kids. Reportedly, his last words was that he should have asked for a stunt double. John Landis really should have gone to prison for that accident. He kept ordering the helicopter to fly lower, but it flew so low that it was hit by pyrotechnics and crashed into the three. He also paid the kids under the table to work overnight, and sent them to their deaths by putting them on a dangerous set, in a severe breach of child labor laws. That’s the most egregious of his actions.
I remember when that accident happened,it was all over the news for a long time. It will always be a shadow over that movie.
Not sure how he got acquitted when he knowingly broke the law.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 Hollywood being famous and rich helps getting away with crimes normal people would be in prison for. They can afford good lawyers that make it nearly impossible for any charges to stick. 😐
His son is also a piece of crap that assaulted lots of women
@@RajaReign78 yea goddamn bastards. That’s our world only people like that have happy endings. 🤘😒🖤
thats why Keanu Reeves always mentions his stunt performers by name whenever possible...the true heroes in action films...
Hero? You need better people for that definition.
Keanu is a class act for that.
Even better, he actually goes above and beyond with his stunt crew so far as giving each personalized rolex watches to show his appreciation. He also would bring tea and coffee everyday for his costars and film crew. The man has a heart of gold! Hail Reeves! Lol
I got an ad for John wick chapter 4 as I was reading this
What about The Crow. Brandon Lee was killed because live rounds were used. And again something similar happened involving Alec Baldwin.
They weren't live rounds. They were fillers placed in the cylinders to make it look like the gun was loaded. The stunt coordinator loaded the gun with blanks but failed to remove the fillers before the scene in which actor Michael Massey (Funboy) fired the gun at Lee. The blank round that was fired ejected the filler like an actual round, which struck Lee, who died as a result of the wound.
Just checking to make sure someone commented on this. How could they not have Bruce Lee's son Brandon Lee's infamous death on The Crow set?? Jeez!
I would've thought that this would be number one. There are a few documentary videos on CZcams explaining how that stunt went wrong, they are worth looking at. Ironically enough there was even a video where Michael Massee broke his silence and told a reporter what happened for the first and only time, he was still haunted by this accident.
Sadly though Michael Massee passed away in 2016 from Cancer. The accident which claimed Brandon Lee's life wasn't his fault, so please guys don't blame him.
@T H E A G N O S T I C M O N K Exactly! Wtf were they thinking!? Somebody needs to do better research on here. Damn!
I lived about a mile from where Brandon Lee was shooting The Crow. What a sad situation.
Just a minor correction, for the twilight zone accident, the helicopter didn't land on the actors, the rotor blades hit them and in the footage you can see that they were more than likely cut in half.
Vic Marrow got his head cut off and the boy got sliced in half by the blade,the girl got crushed underneath the helicopter when it crashed...a truly horrible and unnecessary accident because of the director's ego.
Does the movie "The Crow" ring a bell? Bruce Lee's son Brandon was one of the actors for the movie. Unfortunately, he was killed on set. What happened was a lead tip of a bullet from a previous scene was still in the gun's barrel, and this ended up rupturing a major blood vessel when Brandon Lee had a blank fired at him.
As per WatchMojo's criteria 0:20 into the video, and as you pointed out, Brandon Lee's death was not the result of a stunt gone "horribly wrong," but by being killed by a prop gun.
@@perspicaciouscritic that’s still a stunt gone wrong
I remember hearing about Isla Fisher’s accident and the one in Deathly Hallows .Sad to hear about the others it’s always tragic when stunts go wrong or safety laws aren’t respected .
stunt actors really are the unsung stars of the movie industry. they never get the credit they so richly deserve
Mad respect for stunt doubles. 🙏❤️
This is why certain CGI is needed so nothing like this happens again.
CGI tends to be avoided where it can because of artifacts that the editor may not notice. For example, the CGI with Bruce Banner's head in the Hulk Buster in the movie Avengers: Infinity War is commonly criticized, but the flaw is easy to miss for editors. Filming real action is the most accurate way to portray a scene.
Back then film directors didn't rely heavily on CGI. It's not like today where CGI is used all the time even when not necessary.
My mom had Parkinson's disease for over 20 years so I did a lot of reading up on the disease. I think that the hanging accident is what brought on Michael J Fox's Parkinson's early. A traumatic brain injury can bring on Parkinson's symptoms. My mom started showing symptoms a few months after she had a fall and hit her head on the sidewalk.
I was just thinking about that. I wouldn’t be surprised if that truly was the cause of Michael J Fox’s Parkinson’s disease.
I've been thinking that as well. So if that never gone wrong who knows if he would have never developed the disease.
I think he started showing symptoms beforehand
@@andieallison6792 if he was showing symptoms before hand i think the acident just sped up the symptoms like it did not cause it but it did not help
Neve Campbell managed to stab 2 of her coworkers in two separate Scream movies, ironically both people stabbed were Ghostface lol
That’s why I would be scared of filming a Scream movie with here. I don’t want to get stabbed for real.
I think she needs help.
2:29 Brendan Fraser almost died hanging by the noose in The Mummy Return of Imotep
I'm actually surprised that Jackie Chan is not on this list
He was injured in everything he did. Thats a whole list of its own. Lol.
@@samanddeanfan2009 true, but in operation condor, that particular stunt ,he was almost dead
@@samanddeanfan2009 that's true
@@ruddiato don't forget project A
Chan got knocked out for real in one movie.
Burt Ward nearly got cut in half after he got dragged behind the Batboat during the filming of the 1960s Batman movie. Also during the submarine fight scene a stuntman got knocked off and hit his head on an underwater pylon and almost drown.
During the filming of the 1924 comedy Sherlock, Jr., Buster Keaton was performing a stunt where he was knocked off of a train by a jet of water. Unfortunately, the water hit him harder than expected, and he hit his neck on a steel rail on the ground. He blacked out, and when he came to, he was in so much pain that they stopped filming for the day. Keaton suffered extremely painful headaches for weeks afterward, but kept working on the film. It wasn't until nine years later that a doctor discovered from an x-ray that Keaton had actually BROKEN HIS NECK in the accident, and didn't even know.
Natalie Wood was involved in a stunt gone wrong when she was a child.
She was in a movie (I don't remember which one) where she had to cross a bridge.
The bridge collapsed and she was hanging on for dear life to avoid drowning. Like with Michael J Fox and Isla Fisher, no,-one noticed for a while that the stunt went wrong, and Wood almost died.
It gave her a lifelong fear of water, which is ironic, since she drowned decades later.
How could they not have Bruce Lee's son Brandon Lee's infamous death on The Crow set?? Jeez!
As per WatchMojo's criteria 0:20 into the video, Brandon Lee was not a stunt performer. Even so, his death was not the result of a stunt gone horribly wrong, but by being killed by a prop gun.
In 1962, Bob Morgen, a stuntman working on How The West Was Won, was severely injured during a fight scene. He lost a leg. He was married to Yvonne De Carlo at the time, who put her career on hold for 5 years to nurse him back to health. I remember reading about this, and seeing the movie with the scene in it. I was 14 years old at the time and thought movies were magic.

Day three of asking Mojo to do a review about either the most disturbing things in cartoon shows or adult humor or dark humor in cartoon shows?
suggest it on their website
No one wants that
@@stevescott3735 who knows..there might be a few people.
Yes
Do it yourself on your own channel. That's what channels are for. Don't give your ideas away.
what abouit Jackie Chan? he did a lot of his own stunts and got many close calls with death in some of them.
And the insurance companies won’t touch him with a 10-ft pole.
Yeah, Jackie Chan got all of the injuries from it. There are a top 10 Jackie Chan stunts that injured him.
I remember watching the news report on GMA about the accident that took place while filming Deadpool 2 and the accident that took place while filming XXX.
Easter Egg Twilight Zone the movie. In the scene where Vic Morrow is in the Jungle in Vietnam, and he approaches the US troops, and they shoot at him...one of the troops says "I told you we shouldn't have killed Lt. Neidermeyer!!" Well Lt Douglas C. Neidermeyer was in JROTC in "Animal House" and at the end of the movie they do a what happened to them segment and it says Douglas C. Neidermeyer was killed by his own troops in Vietnam.
That accident that happened on that movie was devastating. Vic Morrow was a great character actor. And I felt bad for the kids parents. The footage of the accident is on the internet. Hard to watch. Twilight Zone the movie was good though along with Steven Kings Cats Eye. And the Outer Limits.
DUDE!!! That is a LOVELY little nugget you shared 👌👍💪❤️
I knew what was going to be #1. I was a very little kid and I remember watching the movie with my parents and then explaining what happened. Never forgot it.
How many spins did that police car complete? 😲
I know she was a production assistant not a stuntperson, but what about Halyna Hutchins? Also, you forgot about Kevin Nash, who was accidentally stabbed by Thomas Jane in The Punisher.
I never hear of any those stories until now and it's very sad
Another stunt gone wrong was with Brandon Lee dying on set filming a movie
I really loved him in that movie, I thought his desperate attempt to make things right beyond death was played by him with such pain and sadness that I was amazed when I first saw it.... even simple "stunts" are incredibly dangerous. There ate hundreds of kids who have lifelong injuries from imitating the "Jackass" movies. I've heard friends say, "if I die, I die", but that's not what worries me, it's living with a mangled body and brain....
That wasn't even a stunt
As per WatchMojo's criteria 0:20 into the video, Brandon Lee's death was not the result of a stunt gone "horribly wrong," but by being killed by a prop gun.
I Hate hearing things like this..
then why are you here
@@jimbo9208 there always has to be a smart dumbass asking an intelligent question... I came across it & that's it..& made my comment... why r u here??! Do u like hearing horrible things like this.. what kinda idiot are YOU man..?? Not surprised by ur name...
@@RIO-.. wow don't get mad i just think it stupid to waste time with stuff you don't like
@@RIO-.. you can say mad but it the truth which you cant hadnel
Love it! But I do recall someone was injured or killed in the hangover 2
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! The best 12 minutes spent today..!!
How is choking and nearly dying worse than actually dying? The deadpool 2 death should have been higher on this list. Wtf
What about John Bernecker? That horrible tragedy didn’t just kill John, it really affected Austin Amelio, who was on the catwalk with John when he fell. When production resumed, my husband was on that catwalk with Austin while he chain smoked and tried not to have a breakdown as they attempted finish the scene.
Very very great crazy list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo
It's horrible how these stunts have gone wrong! I feel bad for those who passed away or got injured! I'm glad some survived! I'm familiar with "Deadpool 2". I've never heard of the other movies on this list. The actresses look so nice! I didn't know some were British. I wish none of the stunts went wrong. God bless all the victims.
When I work as an extra in NC we recently had an accident where an actress was on a railroad trestle which was supposed to have no trains on it. The scene went way wrong and the actress was struck and killed by a train. It was a sad incident and forever changed film making in NC due to film maker negligence
How do you get hit by a train? Those things are loud and makes the track rumble.
@@thevirginmarty9738following
@@thevirginmarty9738 it was on the bridge. Was not supposed to be a train there, but the production crew did not take enough precautions and there was nowhere for her to go. A really sad incident
The scene in question would've taken place in the Vietnam warzone. But because of what happened during filming, they decided to end the segment with Vic's character being taken away to a concentration camp.
Uma Thurman. Kill Bill Vol. 2.
I think the worst part was the cover up.
What happened
Escaped jail after killing 88 people in Kill Bill
@@drkEB6285 she was in a car accident and they kinda just swept it under the rug. You can watch the video on CZcams and there’s a Vanity Fair article about it from 2018 if you just google ‘Uma Thurman car crash’.

honorable mention- Rust where Alec Baldwin accidentally shot a crew member to the movie and she died as a result and now he's covered up in a lot of legal red tape as a result of the tragic accident.
The Gallows movie is one of them when Charlie died in the accident.
Don't say his name.
Quoting the movie.
How could you forget Brandon B. Lee on the set of the Crow? A beloved/iconic actor pass away during the film's production. In my opinion, this should be number 1!
As per WatchMojo's criteria 0:20 into the video, Brandon Lee was not a stunt performer. Even so, his death was not the result of a stunt gone horribly wrong, but by being killed by a prop gun.
That happens when you don't get measures, even though those stunt performers sign litteraly their death sentences in each contact doesn't mean they should give their lifes on the line of duty!
Stuntman Dar Roberts didn’t make the list.
That should have been #2.
It's been so long now, but how did he die?
@@linda10989 Sorry his name is Dar Robinson. He died in the eighties during a motorcycle stunt for a movie he was filming. He was one of the best stuntmen in Hollywood.
What about Brandon Lee one of the stunts for the movie that he was the protagonist of the film the crow went horribly wrong
As per WatchMojo's criteria 0:20 into the video, Brandon Lee's death was not the result of a stunt gone horribly wrong, but by being killed by a prop gun.
no *armor of god* where *jackie chan jumps on a tree limb it broke and he hit his head on a rock* yea he *nearly* died from that stunt he is even *deaf in one ear* from that
May every one of the performers who died on set in this video rest in peace.
Surprised Margaret Hamilton and her stunt double didn’t get on the list for their injuries during The Wizard of Oz.
Here’s a quick rundown: early on Margaret Hamilton (the wicked witch) did the more tame stunts. During the Munchkinland scene, she exited in a cloud of fire and smoke. The first take went swimmingly, but the director wanted a second take anyway. Second take, her robe caught fire. She was unfortunately wearing flammable makeup all up her arms so she got third degree burns.
The second incident (with her stunt double, Betty Danko) was during a broom riding sequence toward the end of the movie. She was riding and the pipe attached to the broom (to produce smoke) exploded. This time, it was Danko who came away with severe burns.
Oh my that's terrible
Amazing video watch mojo of movies stunts that went wrong on set by stunt double that had terrible somewhat accident ever,fantastic job.
In the Burt Reynolds movie Shark (1969) a stunt diver was killed by a great white shark and the scene was kept in the movie.
I'm pretty sure I can guess what number one will be and it is a tragic story
Oh god no!
Oliver Reed in The Three Musketeers. He was stabbed in the neck during a sword fight and almost died on set. You can see it in the film. It's the water wheel scene.
Respect
May all these stunt performers who passed on rest in peace🙏🌹.
Who else knew _Twilight Zone_ was gonna be number 1? Show of hands, y’all 🖐
I knew about Back To The Future part 3 one and The Twilight Zone one and though I've seen Deadpool 2 might have forgotten about that one.
Imagine being trapped in a tank of water trying to signal you’re in trouble, and people right next to you think you’re “acting.” Holy shit. They really should have had a signal she could have used. Honestly, there should be signals and safe words for shit like this overall. My god. 😱
Hearing this stories is making me be like do they care about safety any more 😢like COME ON. But I respect the stunt doubles and I hope they increase the safety because we don’t need anymore deaths. The twilight Zone noooooo of course that stunt would kill them 😢.
Ed Harris almost drowned to death in the Abyss, he blames James Cameron and has not worked for him since
6:09 Edward Norton with Davey Jones'voice.
I called it I knew Twilight Zone was gonna be number one I can't believe they even tried to do it like that
Movie producers don't give a shit about stunt doubles, they die or get injured.....they just care for the finished product.
This shit is incredibly terrifying and sad. It's almost like the movie producers forget they are doing real shit themselves. Condolences to all of those affected by their work.
I’m wonder about the wizard of oz one,supposedly a cast member actually hung themselves due to how the were treated on seat.
That was just a rumor-It was actually just one of those large birds just standing around
That didn't happen. The leader of the Lollipop guild confirmed this and it was actually just a large bird.
I'd not be surprised if actors died later as a result of using pure asbestos as fake snow on set

Ouch shocking this awful totally bad indeed

Do it yourself. Don't give your ideas away.
@@BlackHatCinephile I really really want to. I don’t know the rules of using clips. Like how long I can use them and stuff.
@@simplelee92 Do it the way these clipshow channels do it. Chop up the clips, use as short of an excerpt as possible to get the point across. Be careful that you're not in effect playing the episode in entirety. When appropriate, mute the clip and talk over it, saying what you want to say about it. If you do those things and they block it, you can appeal, as long as you are within the guidelines of Fair Use. I've figured out that the clipshow channels upload the clipshow video, but hold off on publishing it for a couple weeks, to make sure there are no issues, and to resolve the issues if there are any. When there are copyright issues, even though you're within the guidelines of Fair Use, it takes a couple weeks to resolve that, with an appeal. I've started waiting for the "all clear" myself, before I publish, because if you publish it unresolved, no one can see it, and in two weeks when it gets resolved, it will become visible on your channel, finally, but there will be no notification, because the notification went out two weeks ago, when it was blocked. Videos like that have an uphill battle to build up views, and the views will never be what they would've been if the notification went out at the same time the video can actually be seen.
@@BlackHatCinephile oh wow very interesting! Okay thanks that was very helpful. I’ll give it a shot!
Buster Keaton literally broke a vertebrae in his neck performing a stunt but still managed to finish the scene which is in the movie.
I'm surprise they didn't mention Jackie Chan on this list. Movie like Police Story where he suffered burned jumping off a very hot pole.
RIP,Vic Morrow and the 2 children,Joy Harris,😞😞I'm wondering why she was not wearing a helmet.😲+ RIP,Jim Shepherd,O' Conner,Sonya Davis,
So we're just going to skip past the leading actor in the movie called The Crow?
The stunt woman who got injured on the set of the last resident evil, did she work on the mad max movie aswell, from the still shot, it looks like it
you forgot dylan o'brien's accident while filming the third installment of the maze runner series. i can't remember if he was supposed to be running on a truck or driving a motorcycle or what, but he was so badly injured they thought he was dead. he had to have major facial reconstructive surgery and he has really bad anxiety/PTSD as a result now.
Seeing Roger Moore reminded me of another on set accident in a movie he was in. The Bond movie, Octopussy In a scene where Bond walks along the outside of a moving train, the stuntman didn't finish it before the train passed an obstacle, forget if it was a signal post, tree, bridge or something else. His leg was broken, but he managed to hang on and I think part of the scene made it into the final movie. Roger Moore was very upset and went to see the man in hospital. I don't remember what else happened, i.e. if anyone was found to blame etc.
In my toughest opinion about stunts gone horribly wrong, especially Bennie Dobbins, who began his career as a second unit director/stunt coordinator in 1955 and from there he did a lot awful stunt work in television and film until his death in 1989.
Brendan Fraser passed out during his hanging scene in The Mummy
Ya that vic morrow one was the worst tbh, the kids were decapitated almost immediately, like you can see the heads come right off an then they got crushed.... it was so insane to see an I was a kid when that came out, I had no idea till I got a little older
Yikes looks like the X force deaths wasn’t the only deaths in Deadpool 2 only this one was behind the scenes :0
Is it me, or it boils down to producers wanting to save a nickel, risking people's livers? And when the hell did producers became more important than film director and the actors? :/
Some of these should never have happened, sucks when, like DP2, it was them not going through proper safety rules. Or Resi Evil, where they told her to drive at a crane/camera.....why? Surely there was a better way to get that shot. Now You See ME, surely they would have given her actual safe actions to do if in trouble? I do hope each one of these horrible incidents changed regulations and hopefully things are more safer. People think stuntmen/woman are invincible for the things they do.
Imagine dying in a shitty movie like "Now you see me" goddamn 🙄
Why didn't Fisher just start giving everyone the 'finger' and they would have realized sooner.
2:48 Well, he is Clint Eastwood.
Michael J Fox and Harry Potter!? 😳
Ofc deadpool 2..
So sad
re the scene in XXX.
If the first take was good enough to be used in the final movie, WHY did they do it again? Pointlessly risky
Only one thing can be said about all these: OOPS!!!
1.thats why moore isent in cannonball run 2 1.but thats was a LOONG time ago
Kinda shocked Brandon Lee wasn't on here
Probably because it wasn't a stunt scene.
As per WatchMojo's criteria 0:20 into the video, Brandon Lee's death was not the result of a stunt gone horribly wrong, but by being killed by a prop gun.
