Bruce Lee’s son Brandon Lee was killed by a blank.

There was a squib bullet lodged in the barrel from a previous use.

The blank turned it into a real projectile.

The rumor was it was a setup by the Triads.
(if one believes conspiracy theories...)

According to The Daily Beast, Alec Baldwin’s prop gun was meant to be loaded with blanks, and he did not know it contained live rounds

Bruce Lee’s son Brandon Lee was killed by a blank.

As was early 80's actor John Eric Hexum.

Is it that these stupid hollywood leftists are so afraid of nasty guns that no one has even the most basic common sense about doing even the most simple safety checks?

Baldwinian Rhapsody?
“Mother, just killed a man...”

Yah, that happened in the filming of “The Crow”. Right in the middle of filming. That had to recut to get around the death of the film’s star.

Damn nice movie, nonetheless.

As to Baldwin, I’m not so sure. He is unhinged.
