Twilight Zone: The Movie Took The Lives Of Three Actors
While filming 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie, improperly timed special effects and the reckless use of a helicopter resulted in the deaths of two child actors and actor Vic Morrow. With a helicopter flying dangerously low above the scene, a poorly timed explosion caused the helicopter to crash on top of three actors. The helicopter crushed one child while simultaneously decapitating the other, along with Morrow.
Director John Landis, the special effects coordinator, and the helicopter pilot were all charged with involuntary manslaughter, yet were later acquitted. Unbelievably, the film was still released although the scene with the helicopter was obviously left out.
You won't believe the movie that led to at least 90 deaths decades after it was released.
