An aspiring American actor who died a stupid death at the age of 26.

Explosions thundered in the background and a helicopter circled over the lake. According to the scenario, the helicopter was supposed to fly at an altitude of eight meters, which, as it turned out, was too low to dodge pyrotechnic explosions. As a result of one of the explosions, the tail rotor blades were damaged, and the car crashed to the ground, taking the lives of Vic and two children. Everyone who was in the helicopter itself at that time survived, receiving only minor injuries.

8. Roy Kinnear (54 years old)

On March 31, 1993, during the filming of the film “The Crow,” the leading actor, Brandon Lee, was shot and died a few hours later. On the anniversary of the artist’s death, we decided to remember other tragedies on film sets

Bruce Lee's son, Brandon, was born on February 1, 1965 in Oakland, California. Brandon's father began training him in martial arts at the age of three. When Bruce Lee died, his son was eight years old, but the boy did not give up kung fu.

In addition to martial arts, he studied music, played the guitar and composed songs himself, was fond of chess, table tennis and cinema. While still a schoolboy, Brandon performed on the stages of small theaters. At the beginning of his career, Lee was confident that he would become a dramatic actor. However, according to the directors, the only possible genre for him was action. It was in action films that Brandon had to show his skill and skill in all its brilliance.

People started talking about Bruce Lee's son in 1990, after the release of the film "Operation Laser". Two years later, Brandon starred in the action film "Showdown in Little Tokyo", this film became a breakthrough for the young actor. After the success, Brandon Lee appeared in his next film "Runaway" Fire" will come up with the scenes of all the fights himself.

In 1993, Lee Jr. received main role in the film adaptation of James O'Bar's comic book "The Raven". The mystical thriller was supposed to finally cement Brandon's star status.

The tragedy occurred on March 31, 1993, eight days before the end of filming. During the episode in which Eric Draven comes home and finds his girlfriend being violated, one of the criminals, played by Michael Massiah, shoots Brandon Lee. By a mystical coincidence, a plug was stuck in the barrel, and when fired with a blank cartridge, it flew out. The bullet hit Lee Jr. in the stomach, and for about 12 hours doctors fought for the actor’s life. Brandon died eighteen days before his own wedding. His stunt double finished filming The Crow. Shocked members of the film crew destroyed the recording of the tragic episode. Bruce Lee's son was 28 years old.

Martha Mansfield

Steve Irwin

Nature played cruel joke with Steve Irwin. The famous Australian naturalist and “crocodile hunter” died on September 4, 2006 while filming a program called “Deadly Creatures of the Ocean.” The purpose of the program was to show the world that sea animals are not as dangerous as they seem.

During one of his dives, a 44-year-old TV journalist was attacked by a stingray. When the leader was above the fish, the stingray raised its tail with a poisonous sting at the end and hit Irwin with it in the chest. The cameraman who was following Steve filmed the death of a television journalist.

"You can see how he rose above the stingray, whose tail shot up and pierced his chest. He pulled out a spike, and a minute later he was gone. That's all. The cameraman had to stop filming," said producer and director John Stainton, who watched the film with fatal attack.

Jon-Erik Hexam

American actor and model Jon-Erik Hexum, who gained fame in the early 1980s thanks to his roles in TV series, died on the set of the seventh episode of the serial film “The Hidden Fact.” Hexam's character had to fire a .44 Magnum pistol, and during breaks the actor played with the weapon, knowing that the pistol was loaded with blanks.

On October 12, 1984, John-Erik decided to make a joke, put the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The blank cartridge destroyed part of the actor's skull, causing extensive bleeding. Six days later, doctors declared the 26-year-old actor brain dead. Apparently, Hexam did not take into account the fact that even blank cartridges are coated with metal; a shot fired with such a cartridge from ten meters is not dangerous, but fired at point-blank range can be fatal.

Harry L. O'Conner

Vin Diesel's stunt double Harry L. O'Conner died during the filming of an episode in which his character had to jump from a bridge cable onto a submarine. The stuntman miscalculated the timing and jumped too quickly. As a result, Harry L. O'Conner crashed on the bridge .

Brandon Lee, son of the famous Bruce Lee, died on the set of the gothic drama The Crow. In the episode, when the hero enters a house and sees two rapists mocking his girlfriend, one of the criminals fires a shot.


This was the last scene involving the use of firearms. And just that day, Brandon Lee refused to wear a bulletproof vest. The scene was filmed using a proven method, perfected hundreds of times: the “criminal” fires blank cartridges, and the “hero” detonates an explosive device hidden in his hand, simulating a shot.


And so the actor shoots from a 44-caliber revolver. Brandon Lee falls and... doesn't get up. Colleagues were sure that he was faking or had gone too deep into the role until they saw streams of blood gushing from his stomach. The actor was rushed to the hospital, where he fought for life for 12.5 hours. His fiancée Eliza Hutson urgently flew out to see him. She barely had time to say goodbye to Brandon - a couple of minutes after she appeared, he died.


The investigation established two causes of the accident. It turned out that due to negligence, instead of blank cartridges in the revolver magazine, there were converted live ones from which gunpowder was poured out. And due to the fact that earlier one of the bullets got stuck in the barrel, it was knocked out with terrible force, and the shot turned out to be slightly less powerful than when firing live ammunition. The actor was pierced in the stomach, damaging internal organs and the spine.


Due to the fact that the actor died during the filming of the final scenes, the film was completed and released. Last minutes Brandon Lee's "stage" life was played by an understudy.

One of the first scenes (the return of the main character from the army) was filmed in the Karmadon Gorge, in North Ossetia.


On the evening of the 20th, the film crew, numbering more than a hundred people, headed towards the camp. The sudden collapse of the Kolka glacier buried them all under a 60-meter thick layer of ice and stones. The search for bodies continued until 2004, however most the dead, including Sergei Bodrov, were never found.

Steve Irwin (02/22/1962 – 09/04/2006)

Australian Steve Irwin's parents bred crocodiles. It is not surprising that their son also had close contact with these reptiles. Specifically, I filmed an episode documentaries“Crocodile Hunter”, repeatedly putting his life in mortal danger.

A terrible tragedy that claimed the lives of a large number of people occurred during the filming of the film “The Messenger”. On that day, September 20, 2002, the Kolka glacier collapsed in the Karmadon Gorge, causing a rock avalanche that killed 130 people, 23 of whom were members of the film crew. Sergei Bodrov was among them. The actor’s body was never found, which is why many for a long time thought that he had survived.

The actor died in 1965 while filming the film “The Director.” According to the script, Urbansky’s hero’s car was supposed to make a jump from one of the dunes. The first take was shot successfully, but the director decided to complicate the shot so that the car would jump higher. During the second take, the car overturned. As a result of his injuries, Urbanski died on the way to the hospital.

One of the worst tragedies in the history of cinema occurred in 1983 on the set of the film “The Twilight Zone.” In one scene, Vic Morrow had to run across a lake with his children, Mick Dean Lee and Renee Chen. Explosions thundered in the background and a helicopter circled over the lake. According to the scenario, the helicopter was supposed to fly at an altitude of eight meters, which, as it turned out, was too low to dodge pyrotechnic explosions. As a result of one of the explosions, the tail rotor blades were damaged, and the car crashed to the ground, taking the lives of Vic and two children. Everyone who was in the helicopter itself at that time survived, receiving only minor injuries.
