Directed in four segments by John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante and George Miller, the Landis-directed chapter ("Time Out") resulted in three deaths, including actor Vic Morrow, which would bring up criminal charges for Landis and sever his friendship with Spielberg forever. It's a frightening tale set amidst a frightening tale as we explore WTF Happened to Twilight Zone: The Movie!

I worked on Masters of Horror when I first got out of film school, had no idea about the incident, and was wondering why there was so much animosity towards him. When I met him I was geeking out big time, he signed my copy of American Werewolf and he was super cool. Then I found out after the fact and was like holy shit, that explains the atmosphere on set.
And his kid is a pervert.
Rest In Peace them kids and Vic for real Rest In Peace ! 🙏🏼
I disagree. He got off light when he was responsible for the deaths of 3 people, two of whom were kids. He never should've been allowed to work in media. Hollywood likes their powerful to get off without consequence, so i hope he's never allowed to forget what he did.
Couldn't agree more mah dude. How 'bout the guilt while looking through some bars? Meh, then again, who am I to gauge someones feelings of regret?
I also agree that Landis got off easy. On the other hand, it ruined his career in Hollywood. The DGA expelled him, which seriously affected his ability to work in Hollywood.
He had the nerve to show up at Vic Morrow's funeral.... 😳
His son has issues also........
I don't think he ever will. =(
Why Landis did no time in prison boggles my mind to this day.
$$$$$
Money money money 🤷🏿♂️
Even his son is problematic.....
He's almost as bad as Harvey winestein
@@419buckeye7 Yea he's the worse they can get. Murderer of children.
I'm so pleased this incident keeps getting brought back up in Landis' face so he knows and understands how people feel about his actions!! That book is definitely an interesting read, there is also another book on this terrible accident.
❤ Vic,Renee,Myca ❤
5:21 damn those kids were positioned just inches away from the explosion - if that had a hair trigger, we'd be talking about a different tragedy
I really liked this movie. All of the stories had there moments, but the Joe Dante and George Miller segments saved this movie from being forgotten outside of the helicopter incident.
When I saw it I didnt know about the deaths. I thought that first segement was esp good with the old twilight zone feel.
Spielberg segment was also pleasantly good but the 3rd and 4th segments are incredible
@@ronniejdio9411 Same here. When I first watched the movie I thought Landis segment was the most "twilightzonesque" of them all, with that classic feel to it. I also thought that it was missing something, that it felt a bit lacking, unaware that it underwent a big reworking during post because of the tragedy. George Miller's was my favourit part of the movie by far, though. What a classic short film!
Trivia bits (from IMDB):
As Vic Morrow was waiting to film what would turn out to be the scene that killed him, he said to a production assistant, "I must be out of my mind to be doing this. I should've asked for a stunt double. What can they do but kill me, right?!" While he was filming Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974), he insisted on having a $1 million life insurance policy before he would shoot any scenes involving the helicopter in which he was due to ride. He was very insistent, and when asked why, Morrow replied "I have always had a premonition I was going to die in a helicopter crash!
Vic Morrow's friend and former Combat! (1962) co-star Dick Peabody wrote that Morrow's last words before the shot took place were "I've got to be crazy to do this shot. I should've asked for a double."
I KNEW I wasn't the only one who read that somewhere.
I pretty much grew up with this movie as it was released the year before I was born. I loved it from a very early age (except the story with the elderly people becoming young it seemed really out of place.) I was too young to remember the trial, but somehow I was aware that people were killed on set but it wasn't until my teens that I found out the details and saw the footage. Such a sad and senseless tragedy. Even though those parents should have never agreed to have those kids on the set late and filming a dangerous stunt, I still can't imagine how they must have felt losing their kids in such a way. Also never knew that Jennifer Jason Leigh was Vic's daughter. How horrible for all the victims families that this happened.
To this day, the horrific tragedy and the aftermath 100% overshadows this movie.
I refuse to watch it because of it. That might sound extreme but I don't really want to watch a film segment where I can witness a man and two childrens final moments before being brutally killed.
But love the original series.
Eddie Murphy said it better than I ever could.
classic in my opinion. Great theatrical take on some of the classic TZ stories.
It's sad that vic morrow and the 2 kids were killed in that helicopter accident. 😥
I can't watch any John Landis movie without thinking about this. He's such an asshole
@@chroniclesofalivingdeadgirl I agree.
Actor Vic Murrow's death still casting a huge shadow on this film.
Hard to believe they left the Landis segment in the movie. I grew up watching this film and now can never see it the same way.
Solid historical breakdown! This was prime Saturday night YT watchin’ fare.
I remember being 11 years old seeing Twilight Zone in the theater with my Dad and not knowing what happened until after the movie riding home and him telling me all about it. It was such a sad real moment and never looked at that movie the same after. I honestly don’t think I ever watched it again. The only good thing that came from that movie was becoming a huge fan off CCR.
He should carry that with him for the rest of his life. He took this to trial instead of pleading guilty and owning up to his very large part in this tragedy.
Joan Crawford didn't want Spielberg fired. In fact, she respected him.
John Fitzpatrick In ‘ Spielberg’ documentary, Spielberg himself said that Crawford wanted him fired.
@@paulallen2474 I've never seen it. The story I heard was that she got on the crew for not treating him with respect, and they became friends.
@@johnfitzpatrick3094 Spielberg had to prove to Crawford that he knew what he was doing, despite his age. He earned his respect. By the time they finished, she supposedly told her fans on the set, "Talk to THAT guy! He's going to be famous."
This incident, always makes me sad because Landis made An American Werewolf in London, a year prior, especially The Blues Brothers and Animal House during the late 70s, to Twilight Zone The Movie's development. Joe Dante and George Miller were able to rescue Twilight Zone The Movie, so it didn't become obscure; akin to how The Crow(1993) came out and got the franchise into fame, after the misfiring incident. RIP to those three, cuz if the accident never happened, they would have successful careers.
RIP Vic Morrow, Renee and Myca. You are still missed.
I enjoyed the movie when I first saw it (particularly the prologue, Nightmare and 20,000 Feet, and It's a Good Life), but was really soured on it in the late-80s when the trial was generating a lot of publicity. I'd heard about the "accident" on set, but the details really seemed to point to gross negligence at a minimum. I think the prosecutors got ahead of themselves with the manslaughter charges and would likely have done better with a lesser charge, but there's really no way to ever know. Celebrity seems to invariably distort the course of justice.
Loved loved loved this movie. Such an anarchic, cool and fun little flick. The kick the can segment I really never payed any mind too as a kid ( I don’t think any kid really did) but as I get older I see it as really special. Longing to be young again yet learning that you can still just be young at heart. To never let that youthful dreamer inside die. Such a beautiful and yet underrated segment from Spielberg.
Jerry Goldsmith wrote some scores for the TZ TV show, and was the perfect choice for this. I like the score for the Landis segment, but it's percussive and not an easy listen. The Dante segment gives him a chance to write a quiet synth score with some crazy passages. But his score for the Miller segment is amazing. I saw the movie on opening night, and at one party when the violin was 'scratching' at Lithgow to open the shade, the audience laughed and burst into applause--never heard that reaction to any movie score.
That shot of the rabbit popping up did get me
The book mentioned is a fascinating read.
This changed alot of safety precautions on sets.There were other incidents,such as the actor on the set of the tv show Cover Up,where the lead actor was playing around with a prop gun and put the gun to his head and squeezed the trigger which caused him to have brain damage and a skull fracture,which he later died in the hospital and there was the Brandon Lee incident.
Like when the Manchester United squad died in München in 56.. Most of the rules for taking off in cold weather today is based on their deaths
The sister with no mouth always freaked me out when I was a kid 37 now lmao
I saw this movie when I was way too young and when I saw the sister with no mouth I ran outside of my house and refused to come back in for a good while. haha
@@tinypinata505 ha ha bro preach
I saw this back in the 80s with limited knowledge of the (fully preventable) accident on set, but I just can't bring myself to watch it again.
Landis walked free after murdering children through his negligence and arrogance. That's getting off light.
Three lives, two of whom never had the chance to live, were ended over a FILM. Three lives were cut short for no reason.
7:54 damn growing up watching that teacher during that segment , that got me thinking “ 🎵got it bad got it got it bad……🔥👩🏫🎵 lol
Fun fact Ethel is Nancy Cartwright. Nancy is the voice of Bart Simpson.
I love this movie. I feel sad for what happened to Vic Morrow and the two kids. The John Lithgow segment (Nightmare at 20,000 feet) is the best followed by the Kathleen Quinlan (It's a Good Life). The opening is one of the best scare moments in film.
Worked on Beverly Hills Cop III. I can vouch he was a major asshole in his attitude and in the way he treated people.
Saw this gem in the drive in theater on opening night!! That opening segment scared the s**t outta young me!!🤯
Who you are and who your friends are no doubt helped out with the verdict at the Landis trial.
How can you mispronounce Jerry Goldsmith?
His name is written right there, and he was THE master of filmmusic!
I denounced this video in its entirety on hearing "Jeffrey Goldsmith"....🙄 Un-fucking-believeable....
Jerry Goldsmit,
I lol'd a little. You're reading a script for christ's sake.
I can't watch this movie, and not think about the helicopter accident.
Saw the movie as a kid but never heard about this. A fuckin' trip how they still went ahead with it without taking more of it out.
Wooooooooooooooow! I had NO IDEA this controversy happened at all! That's incredibly messed up.
Did anyone else realize this is a re upload from wtf happened on joblo movie
Yes. They overlap too much to be considered a separate channel.
This movie got me into CCR thank to the Dan Akyrod story
I wish John Landis has night terrors for the rest of his life!
It's really sad it's also more sad cuz of the kids and the fact that that episode was such a powerful episode
American Werewolf in London is the best werewolf movie ever made. I watched it with my mom when I was a kid and the Nazi werewolves were random as shit, but that, the zombie friend and the first scene where he changed into the werewolf was nightmare fuel for me for weeks. When I watched it a few years later, I really wanted to find out if hospitals in America treated patients the same way and by that I mean nurses taking home random young male patients suffering from a violent attack. Then I remembered, i'm a child, how would I even get to the UK, so that I could be attacked and hospitalized....
I honestly find it a very meh werewolf movie. The opening with the young tourists, the locals, and the moors is great, but the film basically grinds to a halt while the protagonist lies around waiting to become a werewolf. The undead friend scenes feel more like filler than actual plot and there's the sub-plot with the doctor trying to figure out what we the audience already know that ends up having zero impact on anything. The ending is probably one of the most anticlimactic I've seen. It turns out the werewolf mythology is mostly true except they're pretty easy to deal with because someone can just shoot them, no silver bullets needed or anything! It might make them a bit more of an annoyance in England, but here in America a werewolf wouldn't make it to end the block. The big thing everybody went nuts about was the transformation scene especially with it being done in bright light, but I honestly felt like it actually robbed the scene of any real potential terror. Also the fully transformed werewolf effect was an unworkable mess and ended up being largely cut from the film.
I was 14 when the movie came out and went to see it at the theatre. I remember the movie, but only the opening segment, the one with the bizarre kid and the John Lithgow one -- I did not remember the others at all to this day. Maybe those segments actually did suck as the critics said, if a 14-year-old kid didn't even remember them. As for the accident, I don't remember going to the movie with any knowledge of it -- that did not come until much later.
Aww... so, I already watched this one on the "parent" JoBlo channel. I should rewatch it.. or did I just do so. 😉
No offense, my ass isn't creating anything on YT, and I love both channels. Also, it's been a minute since I watched the other "version".
This IS a good one, with all kinds of stories famously connected to this doomed production. I remember it being one of the first horror movies that I was allowed to watch- and it screwed me up a bit. Pretty intense movie for a 7 yr old.
Had no idea John Landis killed Jennifer Jason Leigh's dad.... thats crazy! She can get it!!!!
Great video, dude!
Yeah, John Landis is a piece of crap and his segment was the worst one (they should of pulled it) but the rest of the film I absolutely adore, even the sappy Spielberg entry. Dante and Miller's story are some of the greatest ever put to film, both a solid 10/10.
This show helped birthed The Outer Limits, Tales from the Dark Side, and Tales from the Crypt.
I don't remember any of that. Wow, that's sad. I do remember Twilight Zone The Movie.
Er, *Jeffery* Goldsmith? This guy is really talented, why have I never heard of him before this?
Read into the details - Landis doesn't deserve to have escaped the shadow, and otherwise, he got off rather easily. Ignoring that, this film is great, even if some 'episodes' are much stronger than others.
Woahhh I don't know how I hadn't heard about this accident. Man, I loved this movie so much. Really sucks that happened.
Spielberg was the only one that didn’t know, you say. What a fantastic coincidence.
Yeah, from what I've read, he knew. That's why he got the hell out of the country after it happened!
He had visited the set before the accident and he was very close with Landis, so he had to at least know about the kids working illegally.
i had never heard of this incident, i seen the movie but had no knowledge of that horrible event.
Dude we watched this in school and I've always liked it because we were supposed to analyze it (film class) and I've never heard about the accident
Speaking as a fan of The Twilight Zone movie, it's difficult to watch it and not think about what happened. John Landis must have had one heck of a lawyer to get out of serving prison time.
Pretty interesting. I vaguely remember the incident also the movie. Imagine if they all worked this shit out & eventually made a movie. Im sure it'd smoke the crap outta what they're serving up these days. Ahhh, the good old days.😂👍
The scene where someone's mouth vanishes freaked me out as a kid. Only for it to happen again in the Matrix movie! :)
Yes! That gave me such nightmares when I was a kid!
A malevolent character made a woman's entire face disappear in the pilot episode of Star Trek The Original Series ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). The Black Mirror episode that spoofed Star Trek revived the same gag as an homage
Wasnt that in the credit sequence?@@christheghostwriter
Who's the guy talking about Landis and Masters of Horror
Who's the man recalling at the end the book incident on set and the screening of "Planet Terror"?
The raw footage of the helicopter crash is a REALLY difficult watch - My heart goes out the the families who lost a loved one 😢😢😢
I felt like Joe Dante did the best segment, personally.
10:20 but I would definitely hire them again to direct Beverly Hills Cop III - that's just who i am!
Warner bros hired him again to direct spies like us same fucking studio that m ade t z probably Dan ackyrod stuck up fir disgusting
Jerry goldsmith's Soundtrack for Kick the can and It's a good life is one of my favorite soundtrack.
Too bad 'The Howling Man' wasn't considered to be put in this movie.
Miller and Dante's segments are masterfully directed. The others are a joke.
Jeffrey Goldsmith - Doh!
Don't you mean Jerry Goldsmith legendary film composer, come on!
RIP Jerry (Thank you for your great works).
This has been one of my favorite childhood movies for years!!! And I had no fricken clue about all this till last year! Just, WOW!!! 😮
In the raw footage, if you slow it down to frame by frame, you can SEE Morrow get cut in half. It is so disturbing.
love this video
7:41 Never knew that she was his daughter!
I feel like there's more to the story, at least with regards to who knew what and when. How many scandals have film studios covered up or spun over the years, after all?
Holy fuck, dude. Thank you for educating me on this. I was JUST a little too young to have been aware of these events at the time. I'm a 42 yo movie nerd and can't believe I didn't know this story. Before today all I knew Vic Morrow from was "Blackboard Confidential". Which I guess is like saying "That Elton John sure was great in T Rex, wonder what else he did?"
Hi, if you're a fan of film and film making then you should really check out the book about the incident, Outrageous Conduct.
It's a fascinating, deep dive into one of, if not the, worst on set accident in film history. And by the end of the book, you will know why many people think Landis was guilty of gross negligence and should have spent time in prison!
Cheers to you and may Vic Morrow and the two young victims rest in peace.
Never knew about the kid’s. That’s sad.
Jesus H Fuck, I never knew about the deaths related to that movie. Holy shit, dude, god damn
I wish people people that go berserk over hearing somebody say they admire Roman Polanski's films were as furious with Landis. But he got away with it, & not many people have a problem with what he did.
All I could say is, "Oh Sh&t!"
Interesting...Jennifer Jason Leigh is Vic Morrow's daughter?
only in america can a director break a child labor law to film a movie that ended in three gruesome deaths and get off scott free
Only in America LOL you're ignorant.
8:55 Geoffrey Goldsmith..... 🤨
I wonder what Dante would’ve done with terror at 20,000
The U.S. couldn't even defeat the Vietnamese in a Twilight Zone movie segment. That speaks volumes in itself.
I dont know about you, but I like the Steven Speilberg segment. Because The Twilight zone, had episodes that was like this (Example: an epsiode where a young man, gets timetraveled to his old childhood town)
I agree that the Zone did way more then just horror and twist episodes. But as for the movie, the segment is capable, but it leans heavily into the cheese. Made me think of the Lost Boys in Hook more then once.
To say Landis Murdered 3 people is a stretch, His intent was to turn a script into a film, What happened was unforeseen, A tragic accident
It was never on Faces of Death, Death Scenes showed the Vic Morrow footage.
Why am I not surprised to hear that Kathleen Kennedy was involved in this? The trend shows that if ole’ KK is anywhere near a production, something horrible is going to happen.
In 1980 I was scheduled to be on set as an extra for 3 days in the concert scenes for the Blues Brothers. Mister Landis picked me out of the crowd of 1500 extras on the third day and had me removed from the Hollywood Palladium theater on Sunset. He didn't like the way I looked. John Landis was an extremely unpleasant man with a horrible temple and had no respect for persons he didn't like the looks of and just about everybody else. He groveled for John Belushi and deeply respected Dan Akroyd. John Belushi took crap from no one and Dan was a man of genius level verbal communication. The band members (from the Stax records recordings) plus Cab Calloway he pretty much left alone. He had a son who said he was a writer. I don't have an ending for this story which is true. Oh wait yes I do. John Landis fired the only bluesmaster in the crowd on the Blue Brothers. I would sit in with Steve Cropper and Donald Duck Dunn (who just died) and I could make them laugh with my guitar impersonations. Steve Cropper - I'm in Hollywood - let's jam, please.
This is one of my fav horror movies! I dunno why this has bad reviews?! For the longest time I didn’t even kno about the Twilight Zone The Movie accident in the death of Vic Morrow and the kids gettin brutally, tragically killed. So I’ve always watched it growing up just liking the movie for what it was and nothing else
I really liked this movie as a kid I really liked the series also serlings other series night gallery the helicopter crash was a tragedy tho
I like this movie
HILARIOUS 11:38
Max landis dad the definition of helicopter parenting
"jeffrey goldsmith" lol
You just saved me from typing about that. Didn't think I was the only one who heard it. 😁
If Murphy hated landis so much why reteam fir the shit b h c 3 fucking hypocrite
I find it funny that Nancy cartwright was banished to cartoon world and became Bartholomew J Simpson
He made Thriller. Thriller...
How have I never heard about this shit? 0_o
I'm not even gonna watch this one guys. Skippin this one. We all know WTF happened to this movie. A piece of garbage director named John Landis. I still can't believe he's responsible for Animal House, American Werewolf in London, The Blues Brothers, and Trading Places. Four great movies. The first three came before his"Twilight Zone" incident. Which he got away with. Trading Places came after his wonderful homicides he was acquitted of. But when you take a look at the cast of Trading Places, the cast was such an all star talented actors, they could have probably done the whole fucking movie without Landis directing. Trading Places really didn't need a director. But it was a very funny movie. But not seeing that name attached to the movie at all, I will guarantee you will laugh even harder at this comedy classic. John Landis is a total piece of shit. And to this day Steven Spielberg won't have nothing to do with him.
