Major Accidents That Happened On The Set of a Film

The Expendables 2

This huge budget action flick took a tragic turn when stuntman Kun Liu got caught in a terrible accident caused by faulty pyrotechnics. Liu was supposed to stage a hand to hand combat scene on a boat that was supposed to explode right as he got away. Tragically, the explosives on the boat set off unpredictably, killing Liu and injuring another stunt actor, Nou Sun. A wrongful death lawsuit was filed but was eventually dismissed because of liability waivers that each actor had to sign at the beginning of the filming period.
