Besides Alec Baldwin, These 10 Tragic Accidents on Hollywood Film Shooting Locations Also Successfully Made a Stir

An accident on the set of the film XXX (2002) also claimed the life of a crew member, stuntman Vin Diesel, named Harry L. O'Connor. In the final scene, Harry successfully performed the first scene where he had to parachute. He managed to release the safety harness connected to the speed boat that was pulling him to avoid hitting the bridge. Unfortunately, during the second take of the scene, he had a horrifying fatal accident.

No fatalities occurred, but Brad Pitt suffered a serious injury while starring in the epic film TROY in 2004. Portraying the ancient Greek warrior Achilles, he experienced the same injury as his character, as his Achilles tendon was torn during filming.

One of the most tragic accidents in Hollywood film history was experienced by Brandon Lee. While starring in the film THE CROW in 1994, he tragically died after being shot in the chest by his own co-star, Michael Masse.

Another terrible accident was experienced by stuntman Daniel Radcliffe named David Holmes in the film HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1. It happened when David was performing a flying stunt and was thrown into the wall. Because of this incident, his neck bone was broken and he became paralyzed from the neck down. Until now, David has limitations in moving his legs and arms.

For those of you who watched NOW YOU SEE ME, you must have felt the intense realism of Isla Fisher's scene in the water tank. How could you not? Apparently, she almost drowned because she was trapped in the water for 3 minutes with her legs and hands chained.

Loyal fans of the RESIDENT EVIL franchise were also shocked by its latest sequel, RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER. It was there that stunt double Milla Jovovich named Olivia Jackson lost her arm after being thrown from the motorcycle she was riding, which crashed into a malfunctioning camera. Not only that, another crew member also experienced a more tragic accident. Ricardo Cornelius was killed after being hit by a car that pinned his body to the wall.

Big franchises like TRANSFORMERS also have casualties during the production process. In the film TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, a steel cable holding a car suddenly detached and hit the windshield of an actor named Gabriela Cedillo. She suffered severe injuries to her face, as well as permanent brain damage. In response to the incident, Paramount Pictures provided compensation and damages to her family amounting to US$ 18 million (approximately IDR 255.5 billion).

The film TOP GUN (1986), starring Tom Cruise, also experienced a fatal accident during filming. It all started when an aerobatic pilot, Art School, performed aerial stunts with a Pitts S-2 aircraft. While executing a maneuver, he failed to maintain altitude and crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Neither his body nor the aircraft was ever found. Tragic, isn't it?

THE EXPENDABLES 2 also became a film that killed crew members on set. When performing a scene on a rubber boat, two stunts were too close to the explosion. Kun Liu became a victim of the fatal explosion, while another stunt, Nuo Sun, was severely injured. Although well-prepared, accidents are indeed unavoidable disasters.

Last but not least, THE DARK KNIGHT also claimed a life. A cameraman named Conway Wickliffe was killed while capturing footage of a failed 90-degree turn stunt that resulted in the car being thrown and hitting a tree.
