Behind the Death of Brandon Lee
Small mistakes lead to big tragedy on a film set
by Dave Brown
Two weeks before he was due to be married, actor Brandon Lee was killed on the North Carolina set of the motion picture "The Crow." A scene in the movie called for Lee to enter a room where actor Michael Massee was to shoot him using a revolver loaded with blanks. When the handgun was fired, a real projectile penetrated Lee's abdomen and lodged next to his vertebrae. He was rushed to hospital but died in the operating room.
An investigation into his death revealed that the handgun had once been loaded with "dummy" cartridges for an earlier scene. (A dummy is a fake cartridge with a bullet but no gunpowder). To make the dummies for this production, real cartridges were purchased from a local gun shop, the bullets removed, the gunpowder dumped out and the bullets reinserted into the empty cases.
Although this was a dangerous practice, the inexperienced crew simply did what they thought best under the pressure of both time and budget.
According to the investigation, the handgun was loaded with these dummy cartridges during a previous scene and one of the bullets became accidentally lodged in the barrel. How it got stuck there was never conclusively proven, but some witnesses stated they saw an actor playing with the gun and pulling the trigger. This would have discharged one of the primers and propelled the bullet slightly forward. The primer is a simple sparking cap and is designed to initiate the ignition of the gunpowder when struck by the firing pin. If there is no gunpowder to ignite, the spark of the primer has enough energy to propel the bullet forward an inch or two. Unfortunately, there is little or no noise resulting from a primer ignition without gunpowder, which is why this situation is often refered to as a "primer pop."
On the night of Lee's death on March 31, 1993, no one thought to first check the barrel for obstructions before loading the firearm with blanks. A blank has more gunpowder than an actual cartridge in order to create the bright flash out the muzzle. The gun was loaded with blanks, pointed directly at Brandon Lee and fired. He immediately collapsed, although it took a few seconds for the crew to realize he had been hurt. He was rushed to the hospital and died 13 hours later.
The weapons specialist on the set had been sent home earlier that evening to save money, leaving a props assistant in charge of the firearm.

Where did you find that Hoskib?
I've only ever heard the 'jungle drum' version that most people seem to know.
Lost Boys - that takes me back. To this day I want a Siberian Husky called Nanook (sp?)
Stand by me - another great film that reminds me of my yoof.

My favourite war film. 'The Crow' was a let-down from what I recall. Brandon Lee died before it was completed and its not much better than 'Game of Death' in the way that they filled the gaps.

The Crow - the most stylish film before the Matrix
IWAV - movie nowhere near as good as the book - film lost a lot of the erotic tension! (Though Tom Cruise wasn't as terrible a Lestat as I feared when I first heard he was in the film).

The film has a real edge to it for the first 30 mins,but then softens up a bit too much,had it stayed dark in the same way Bladerunner,did as an example,it could have been a classic.
