Other Odd Things / Hollywood “Accidents”
« on: November 11, 2021, 06:33:24 PM »
So making a movie is meant to be amazing and safe………..
WRONG!
With the recent events during the filming of “Rust”, it got me thinking about other famous Hollywood movie mishaps and accidents!
I’m gonna name a few
“The Wizard of Oz” (1939) the movie had many accidents but the one that sticks out to me is Margaret Hamilton nearby being burned alive while filming her exit from Munchkinland.
“Ben-Hur” 1959, it’s an urban legend that a stuntman was killed while filming the famous chariot race.
“The Conqueror” (1956) - a John Wayne western. However the film was shot near a nuclear test site. Of the 220 crew/cast members, 91 developed cancer in their lifetime.
And we come to the big one……..
“The Twilight Zone: The Movie” (1983) this film will go down in history because of the fatal (and I’ve seen the footage) and HORRIFIC accident that befel 3 of the actors.
The film is an anthology based on the classic Rod Serling TV series. The first story is about a bigot that is confronted with various historical events. One of them is set during Vietnam. During the filming of the segment (also directed by John Landis of THRILLER fame) on July 23, 1982, at around 2:30 a.m., actor Vic Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le (age 7) and Renee Shin-Yi Chen (Chinese: 陳欣怡; pinyin: Chén Xīnyí, age 6) died in an accident involving a helicopter being used on the set. The two child actors were hired in violation of California law, which prohibits child actors from working at night or in proximity to explosions, and requires the presence of a teacher or social worker. During the subsequent trial, Landis denied culpability for the accident, but admitted that their hiring was "wrong"
What happened on the set of RUST, isnt an isolated incident……..

So I’ve finally stumbled across the original demo version of Thriller STARLIGHT. And imo features some intriguing lyrics
What do you guys think ?

There's indication that someone else is standing on the ground
Across the nation there's always people trying to pull you down

Deep in the night we're holding on to someone else's dream

So……as a fan of Michael Jackson AND The Twilight Zone, I think I may have stumbled on an intriguing connection……..bear with me!

So we all know that Michael used a piece of narration by Rod Serling (creator of the Twilight Zone) in his song Threatened from Invincible………HOWEVER, I believe it goes a lot further than that. There is a really intriguing link from The Twilight Zone to Michael so let me explain

So there’s a famous episode of The Twilight Zone called The After Hours about a woman who finds out she’s a department store mannequin who forgot she was a dummy who took a vacation for a month

There was controversy due to a possibly copyright lawsuit, because of an author called John Collier who wrote a story called Evening Primrose about a poet who becomes disillusioned with society so he decides to live in a department store away from the world, however he finds a secret society who have been doing it for decades and the punishment of you reveal their existence is they turn you into a mannequin.

Evening Primrose was turned into a television musical by Steven “Sweeney Todd” Sondheim. The original TV version starred Charmian Carr (better known as Liesl in the movie version of The Sound of Music)

Here is where it gets interesting………
Charmian was Michaels interior designer and Michael adored the Evening Primrose musical, and he enjoyed the company of mannequins. In fact one of the early ideas for the Billie Jean short film was that the mannequins in one of the shop windows would come to life………….
So, what are your thoughts ?
