theweaselkingA topic of conversation that came up today - accidents on sets that made it into the final film. I'm wondering how many of those there are.
The two that come immediately to mind ar Dr Zhivago and Top Gun.
In Dr Zhivago, when the woman is running to the moving train and trying to pass her baby to the waiting arms of the people on board, the character trips, falls, and is killed by the train. The characters look quite realistically broken up and sick in that scene, though, because the *actress* fell under the train and was killed during filming.
In Top Gun, there is a scene where the plane is in a flat spin and the pilots are forced to eject. During filming, the stunt pilot running the spin failed to recover and crashed.
How many others are there like that?
