Pretty sure I have a copy of that somewhere. Half.com used to be great about making obscure stuff available cheaply.

I ended up having major panic attacks after digging too deeply into that rabbit hole.

This.

I’ve listened to interviews from the pilot of the helicopter and read others in which the test explosion was pretty big and scared people but Landis insisted the one on film would be even bigger.


It delaminated the helicopter blades and caused the crash which in turn killed three people. And it was done due to Landis being reckless as frick on several things.

Landis and Chevy Chase almost got into a fight on the set of The Three Amigos because Chevy was bringing it up while filming.


Chevy’s a prick but that’s one of the few occasions I would side with him for being a prick.
