The Crow
The movie that should have cemented Brandon Lee as an international superstar ended up costing him his life in a strange and unexplainable turn of events. For some reason, the production crew thought that they could avoid needing to purchase blank bullets if they removed the gunpowder from the non-blank bullets they already had. In a scene prior to the event, an extra fired a bullet at Brandon Lee, but since it wasn’t a blank, the slug was engaged and it lodged itself in the gun’s barrel. Fast forward to the end of the filming process, the same gun was used again, and the pressure from the explosion forced the slug out of the barrel and into Brandon Lee’s spine. Lee died on his way to the hospital from the set.
