Watching tonight and remembering that Brandon Lee had such potential.
Rest in peace with your father Mr Lee

Worked like a charm.

I've never seen it but I've heard the story about the lead actor getting shot in a scene with a real bullet that was jammed in a gun. That is awful. That makes me wonder how much of that scene when he actually was killed did they use. I doubt they would keep much in it out of respect to him.
Is the movie pretty good? I know they made a couple sequels with Edward Furlong.

Yeah it was good and they left the scene in. Iirc he got lit up with hundreds of fake rounds, but sadly one was real

Dang.. that's sad but it is cool to leave it in to respect him dying doing what he loved.

Awesome movie. And so sad about Brandon Lee. I remember how big of a deal that was back then. And this is what actually happened, for those who aren't sure:
FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP!!!
It can't rain all the time..
quote:
The scene in which Lee was accidentally shot, Lee’s character walks into his apartment and discovers his fiancée being beaten and raped by thugs. Actor Michael Massee's character fires a .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver at Lee as he walks into the room.[3] A previous scene using the same gun had called for inert dummy cartridges fitted with bullets (but no powder or primer) to be loaded in the revolver; for close-up scenes which utilize a revolver (where the bullets are clearly visible from the front) and do not require the gun to actually be fired, dummy cartridges provide a more realistic appearance than blank rounds, which have no bullet. Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew (hampered by time constraints) created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge then reinserting the bullets.[4][5] However, they unknowingly left the live percussion primer in place at the rear of the cartridge. At some point during filming the revolver was apparently discharged with one of these improperly-deactivated cartridges in the chamber, setting off the primer with enough force to drive the bullet partway into the barrel, where it became stuck (a condition known as a squib load). The prop crew either failed to notice or failed to recognize the significance of this issue.
In the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be actually fired at Lee from a distance of 12–15 feet, the dummy cartridges were exchanged with blank rounds, which feature a live powder charge and primer, but no bullet, thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk of an actual projectile. As the production company had sent the firearms specialist home early, responsibility for the guns was given to a prop assistant who was not aware of the rule for checking all firearms before and after any handling. Therefore, the barrel was not checked for obstructions when it came time to load it with the blank rounds.[4][5] Since the bullet from the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel, this caused the .44 Magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel with virtually the same force as if the gun had been loaded with a live round, and it struck Lee in the abdomen, mortally wounding him.
FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP!!!

i actually watched a police show once on the death investigation of brandon lee and the decision as to whether it was murder or not
the state where the death occurred (i forget, but i'm assuming california) has murder laws that almost made the super negligence, murder

Yeah, reading what I quoted above, simply calling it negligence almost does it an injustice. It's like they weren't even worried about any potential dangers with the situation. When you're using firearms of any kind, extra special care should always be given, and they were sending experts home and sort of flying by the seat of their pants on it. And it wasn't even prop firearms either...it was a real gun loaded with blanks and whatnot. Inexcusable, and seems really weird/irresponsible.

The movie had a great soundtrack too.

that's why these days they don't even have guns that fire and they use CGI in big movies

My personal favorite.
And one my favorite thriller/horror movies.
Favorite scene is when he loads the shotgun at the pawn dealer's with all the rings and jewelry and shite to blow away that piece of shite pawn owner.
"Every one of these is a life that you helped destroy" BOOM.
Something like that.
