The most horrific part of this video is it's completely breathless. There are no real pauses, just 50 minutes of the most ridiculous injury and death stories from Hollywood productions.
It's crazy he didn't just quit the movie immediately after that happened. I guess people would rather take their chances with a wild animal than a movie studio's lawyers.
The thought of Howard Hughes watching The Conquerer on repeat is so chilling to me. Imagine accidentally causing so many people’s deaths just for a movie, and then having that movie as a permanent record of what happened.
the story of joe martin is completely bonkers. it's wild to see that it went on for so long, that people would more readily believe "joe has become insane" over "this is an animal and not a person, and we should not have expected it to behave like a person"

Another Danny DeVito story: there’s a scene in Batman Returns where the Penguin receives a letter delivered by a chimpanzee, and while filming the chimp was apparently freaked out by his costume and mannerisms and full-on attacked his groin, as chimps are known to do. He was only saved because of the padding on his costume that the chimp ripped a massive chunk out of.
ROAR is the most bizarre movie I have ever seen. You can feel the CONSTANT TENSION coming from the actors....Melanie Griffith looks terrified the entire time....and you watch every second wondering if someone is going to die.
ROAR triggers the part of your brain that remembers how dangerous nature can be. The fact that you have real lions with real humans displaying the subtle signs of distress most people never have to see in other people puts you on edge. It's not the "scariest" movie ever, but it's easily the most stressful film ever made.
That list of movies with aviation deaths was so sad. Almost none of those films had any legacy. Those people died so the producers could make a quick buck and then the work was forgotten.
two whole IPOS vids in one week? dont mind if i do! btw, this is an old question, can you share the music list of the chucky video? loved those tracks ❤
@@Strega_del_CorvoThe idea of cgi children in films... sounds like too much. People just need to treat them with respect like every one else and not exploit them. I'd hate to think we have a future of A.I. children running around in otherwise serious films. Talk about horror. Either that or we just phase children out of our stories, which seems arbitrarily limiting. @Strega_del_Corvo
When I hear about the tragedies on big budget sets my mind always goes to Troma studios’ 3 rules of production. Rule No.1 is SAFETY TO HUMANS followed by SAFETY TO PEOPLE’S PROPERTY. They’re final rule (written in much smaller font) is MAKE A GOOD MOVIE! Nobody should be hurt, let alone killed just for the making of a film.
Kaufman is so cool, I genuinely really admire how consistently with it Troma was on their projects despite outwardly seeming like they wouldn’t be at all
The Harold Loyd section is about the only inaccurate ones. Loyd was maimed in 1919 and still had a 20 year-long career after that, and made many stunt-heavy slapstick features after that, Safety Last! (The one where he hangs from a clock tower) for example was made in 1923. He then became a producer. He usually employed stunt doubles for the more challenging sequences, to boot, contrasting his contemporaries like Chaplin and Keaton. But the video is great overall, apart from that, and commendable for the anti-exploitation drive behind it. We workers must be unionized and fight for our rights in every industry--nobody should ever die of work for the bosses' profit.
By the late 60s into the 70s, tv studios were re-packaging famous scenes from Silent era movies to make it them all appear as silly, primitive, slapstick comedy shorts. Harold Lloyd refused to allow his films to be used that way. His knew his films were deep, complex undertakings, and refused to let his films be disrespected and lumped in with "Keystone Cops" Benny Hill type foolishness.
After WW2 they started using real explosives a lot more because so many vets couldn't be fooled by faking it anymore. I would point out public enemy number one for a movie that uses real explosives in shots with their main actors.
I still don't understand the mindset behind Roar. They loved big cats so much, they made a movie about several packs of big cats trying to kill a family. That's like saying you love horses so much, you made a movie about horses trampling people to death.
That's *not* the story of Roar. It's never presented in a way that suggests that the cats want to eat or murder anyone. The story focus is: There are a lot of wild cats that coincidentally end up in the home of an unsuspecting family. Naturally, the humans panic and try to get out of that situation, while the cats are mostly driven by curiosity or "reaction" (meaning they only react to the events around them). Cat aggression primarily happens as infighting. I watched the movie as a child, with my family. There's mostly tension and comedy but no horror or "wild cat" defamation. Although, how you perceive that might also depend on individual sensibility, to some degree.
@@Kijinn I see Roar as being the cat version of Jaws. Here's a wild animal (or in Roar's case, multiple animals) made out to be deliberately targeting humans for no reason other than to kill. The humans are just living their human lives, when they're viciously and unprovokedly attacked by wild animal(s) because 'dangerous animal gonna dangerous animal'. At least the guy who wrote Jaws realised the damage his book and the movie did to people's perception of sharks, and has worked to support research and preservation. Hedren and Marshall were never really about educating people on big cat behaviour.
@@EveryFairyDies You're far off with that comparison. As I already said, Roar wasn't a horror movie. It was more of a comedy with high tension elements, like in a family adventure movie. That said, it was certainly also a wild attempt to market it that way, due to the craziness of the production. Still, within the story, no animal tried to harm any person (beyond accidental scratches) and no one died.
@@Kijinni find your comments to be pedantic, condescending and annoying. All you've done is argue over nothing in all of your replies. Its crazy how you've seemingly made arguing in youtube comments your hobby.
@@bece00 Yeah...those are always the greatest random comments, criticizing someone for being condescending by being condescending to them. An especially great example of how to be a better human, when you derail the conversation to make it entirely about the person you're attacking. Is that *your* hobby?
It’s insane how many popular modern films still have trouble with securing safety on set. The dangers of set accidents are always talked about as an ‘old Hollywood’ problem but it clearly still happens to this day, it’s just not talked about…
Honestly, as someone with OCD, Howard Hughes' accidental contribution to harming so many people and getting so many sick sounds like my worst nightmare. I can't imagine what he must have felt going through that film over and over again as someone who also had OCD. It's any OCD-haver's worst thoughts come true.
@@SuperRat420 He's a better person than John Landis and Alec Baldwin, based on what is presented here. Those two guys didn't even feel guilty about killing someone. Note that Baldwin wasn't merely an actor on Rust, but is also a producer, and was responsible for hiring unqualified people to handle the firearms after the original people that he had hired quit over safety concerns.
I was thinking the same thing. He must have done it in one punch too because if one punch hadn't done the job, he certainly wouldn't have gotten a second chance. No strongman, not even that particular guy would have stood a chance in a prolonged fight with an adult male orangutan
That one lion movie with hundreds of lions and big cats... Has to be one of the most INSANE movie projects I've ever learned about.. So many got so injured yet kept going
It’s absolutely horrible what happened on that set. If only someone had gone to the unions and ratted them out, Melanie, her brothers & the various other crew membership have been spared from the nearly fatal encounters
As you describing some of the issues with Joe Martin, all I could think was, "If he were directing, people would just call him an uncompromising auteur." "I would argue that the performance he got out of her justifies Martin biting Shelley Duvall on the face on the set of The Shining!"
It felt so weird when you started mentioning more recent movies like Deadpool 2 because, I've seen those movies, saw the crew publicizing them, and never heard someone literally died on set. Also notable that stuntpeople injuries are super overlooked, I'd feel sick if I was in Radcliffe's shoes, that person's job is to avoid you injuries.
Not that I fully disagree with you...but...it seems like you overlook the focal point of stunt work. The purpose of stunt work is taking risks that might potentially lead to bodily harm. When you create a movie without those risks, you don't need stunt actors. Knowing that, of course, doesn't lessen the drama at all, when an accident happens during a stunt. What I can't see, though, is how it would help to highlight those accidents, once the movie is released. Can you enjoy watching a movie when you know that a person died or got seriously harmed during its making? Should the movie not be released when that happened? That would make the sacrifice even worse, wouldn't it? A stunt person tries their best for (maybe) many great scenes, dies, and then their work is never even shown to anyone. What a waste, no? Even the idea of giving more spotlight to stunt people, by e.g. giving oscars for best stunts, would mean creating an environment where people compete for the most dangerous stunt works. Meaning that people would increase risks for a bigger spot in the lime light. Not a desirable consequence. It seems like there is no good way to deal with this subject, other than to leave it in the background, quietly.
@@Kijinn I think you have good intentions, but I disagree with your conclusions. I didn't say movies with a death on set shouldn't be released, but it does feels grotesque to think of the cast going on about their day knowing someone died on set. I also doubt a dead stunt actor would care much if their movie got released or not. While I have no clue how most stunt people feel about their work, If I died while building a house for someone else, I wouldn't care what happened to the house, I was doing my job. I would want people to know what happened and my collogues not to act as the house is amazing and nothing bad happened making it. Finally, I disagree with the assumption that an oscar for stunts would increase danger as there's no proof of that and it seems weird to decide the best think to do is leave the topic in silence instead.
@@Riccardo_can Nowhere in my text does it say that you suggested movies with a death on set shouldn't be released. I asked that as a rhetorical question. Please read more carefully. Your idea of how stunt people might feel about their work after passing away doesn't hold much ground, because there's very little chance it applies to all of them. Humans differ. Additionally, there's more involved in making that release decision than just how the stunt person might feel about it. Tons of people work on a film. So, you don't think that there's people out there who'd do anything to get an oscar? If you really need proof for that and don't get the impression that there's already lots of proof that some people would do anything for fame, recognition and money...I don't know what to tell you...other than...nice pink glasses you're wearing.
@@Kijinn mmh I think you should have another look instead: how does the fact that a few people might want to do dangerous things for an oscar mean we shouldn't give Oscar's for stunts? Does the best song award pushes people to write songs more dangerously? Maybe 1 in how many? We still give those though. Seem like starting from a conclusion and going backwards. Anyway :'D don't know why you decided to get weirdly confrontational about this, guess that the end of the conversation, have a good day.
@@Riccardo_can Not to linger on the conversation, but I'd like to apologize for becoming confrontational. I may not be in the best mental condition for having discussions on personal opinions. Peace and a good life to you!

Poor Joe Martin, it sounds like he felt real distress and grief and trauma. That would weigh on any living creature. Omg I had such a hard time looking at the screen during the Roar section. Just seeing the neutrality, curiosity, fear from the cats and them seeing them abused, drowned, thrown down cliffs... I've never had to physically turn away during one of your videos.
It's crazy that all the omens saying "the universe says nope to this" were taken as signs to double down by Tippi & her hubby with forgettable name. The part where the lion is playing with the boat, he looks just like my tomcat when he's hanging with me near the bath & plays with some floating thing...like the cocked head & expression were so similar but ONE IS A LION & THAT IS A FULL GROWN ADULT BOAT. My tomcat is a rescue & had obviously had abusive owners before I came along & I still have to be very present & watchful in our interactions bc he can be set off really easily & he can do some real damage --- which is MY FAULT when it happens bc it's quick but I can see when he's getting overstimulated. I also don't manhandle him bc it just increases his distress & I don't want to hurt him, even if it's a reflex to shake a cat off once they're sunk into you, but their claws + teeth are built to go harder if you're pulling away, so you have to counter-intuitively go further towards the cat, & force yourself to be stiller + quieter & to calm them enough to release you. If I panicked & flailed, I'd hurt us both more. That's a rare occurrence yet I cannot imagine the risk if he was even 10% bigger/stronger. A full grown lion is insane to just roll around with. Like you said, aside from the people, just the damage done to the animals who never asked to be in that situation. I'm glad Zane talked about how they lied & did it behind union backs & how the trauma lingered.
On the topic of Rocky 4, Sly wanting to actually fight Dolph Lundgren is a fascinating act of hubris on the part of Sly. Dolph Lundgren was a black belt in Kyokushin Karate, Lundgren had been the European champion two years in a row. Kyokushin Karate involves standing as close to your opponent as possible and beating the life out of them, it is a test of endurance, a test in taking abuse. What I'm trying to say is that fighting the two time European champion of Kyokushin Karate is like knowingly stepping in front of a moving bus. anyway, great video as always good sir!
@@behindthescenesphotos5133 No, but the humans were forcing and abusing an animal with very complex social needs to do their bidding, with no regard to that animals well being. If you were put in that position- Caged, no friends of your kind, no mate, "freedom" to wander your prison, forced to do all kinds of bewildering things for your captors amusement, and yelled out for reasons you cant comprehend when you are just attempting to navigate their world- you would lash out after years of that too.
Seriously, just look how rough society can be for neurodivergent HUMANS - Joe Martin was an orangutan, raised by and raised to be a human. Talk about trying to force a square peg into a round hole. If he did end up going insane in the end, I wouldn’t blame him at all. Also they stole his dad/only friend, and expected him to not be upset about it?
What on Earth has to go thru your head to have been thrown down TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS by an ape and then later go, "Yeah, I not only want to work with him again, but I'm going to continue yelling at him"?
Yes, I just don't understand that. Even if the movie studio was going to sue you for not fulfilling your contractual obligations or something, I would rather risk the lawyers than a wild animal.
You could make a "Saw"-like villain out of a Cecil B DeMille-type director, just pushing for bigger and bigger spectacle and racking up ever-growing body counts, all with malicious glee
I am so impressed by what Mr. Whitener has created here-he has called attention to some 120 years of abuses,injustices,tragedies and calamities perpetrated by the filmmaking industry.What an outstanding statement on behalf of human dignity and the rights of working people.
“So you’re telling me there’s a scene that requires a herd of 20 lions maul me to death and you want to accomplish this by smothering animal blood all over me and we’re just going to *hope* none of them kill me? …ok but only since it’s in the script”
"Fun" fact: Years before Noah's Ark, Curtiz directed an Austrian biblical picture named "Sodom and Gomorrah" (1922) - and, of course, there were explosions ... and, of course, there were deaths and many injuries. The movie's pyrotechnician was sentenced to 10 days in jail and "500.000 Kronen" (considering the hyperinflation in Austria at this time, I am fairly certain that was not a huge amount of money ...)
Wow you're spoiling us for videos this month, super excited to check this one out God, the stories about Roar are so upsetting. You can just see the potential for mauling in every frame of this movie. Terrifying. Poor cats. 15 died?!?!? fuck that.
Claudia Christian had a miscarriage during the filming of Maniac Cop 2 due an stunt gone wrong. In the final chase scene of Mad Max 2 you can also see the footage of a stunt gone wrong that was kept in the film, one of the pursuers in a bike hits a car that had crashed in the road, instead of being propelled straight forward by the impact, as intended, the stuntman hit the car with his legs while he was already airborne causing him flip numerous times in the air before crashing, multiple broken bones and a long recovery were the result.
I guess it might have been helpful that George Miller had been an emergency room doctor, still working shifts at Saint Vincents Hospital while making the first Mad Max film ?
@@FionaOfMountLawley that might explain the *Mad Max* films. Imagine constantly seeing the results of people crashing in their cars and motorcycles going over 60 and 70 mph, and then deciding to make a movie that revolves around the carnage you deal with everyday.
IIRC that flipping stuntman was Guy Norris who continued to work with George Miller, he was second unit director and stunt coordinator on Fury Road, probably on Furiosa as well.
@@TheRealNormanBatesThat is exactly what inspired Miller to make Mad Max, working in the hospital and seeing the mayhem Aussies used to inflict on themselves and each other with their cars
It is pretty ridiculous. That said, hippos are responsible for far more deaths in the wild than big cats of any species. Unless you count the "man eating lions", a specific familial line that had a birth defect that deformed their teeth. Tigers more actively attack humans as prey but hippos still beat them out despite not hunting humans as prey. Hippo's are just freaking vicious.
Hard disagree. It's gratuitously existential in a way that serves no purpose except to reinforce the nihilism it's supposed to be challenging. It uses fundamentally bad process and bad art as an excuse to belittle a form that's perfectly capable of being both enduring AND humane so long as the same fundamental humanity is represented by both its intent and execution. "No one's going to remember you" has never been an effective message by which to dissuade people from taking senseless risks. It's been proven endlessly that this is the very suspicion that causes most human beings with a creative impulse in them to double down on their own pride and excess. "Hey, filmmakers! Yeah, you guys! You know, self-proclaimed geniuses with religious trauma and repressed sexual dysfunction and drug problems? Have you tried reminding yourself to do a better job of looking after everyone's needs and safety and folding your reputation for decency and integrity into the larger legacy of the art you're making by more wholeheartedly embracing the very void you literally got into this business specifically to run from?" An absolutely tone-deaf, philosophically decadent coda to an otherwise brilliant video and an extremely disappointing and frankly baffling choice. Oh yeah, and fuck Tippi Hedren.
@@zorantaylor3190 I was referring specifically about the politics of AI and how its accelerating the demise of what little empathy and human dignity people in creative fields have historically been given. AI is and will always be purely a tool to remove the need for a living or ANY wage at all. And no humanity is being considered in the process. No law makers are raising the red flag. Capitalism is devouring at a pace never before witnessed, and there is no solution at all for the suffering it's causing.
Several indigenous extras were injured and killed on Fitzcarraldo by Werner Herzog. He treated the almost 1000 indigenous extras horribly and paid them very little. Which caused conflict with local tribes and Herzog leading to one tribe burning down the film set.
H.B. Halicki was also killed during filming for Gone In Sixty Seconds 2 when a steel cable snapped and brought down a telephone pole on him. This was after he destroyed the lower half of his spine with the famous jump and the spin into the light pole from the first film. The sad part is that the set had been properly secured beforehand and all the equipment was checked after they modified the water tower a truck was supposed to hit, but either faulty math or just time wearing on steel caused the water tower to lean so far to one side that one of the guide cables snapped.
Ngl the Joe Martin reveal actually made me laugh, I thought the video was messed up before then. Day of the Locust is a great novel written by a Hollywood writer depicting these seedy wild card aspects of interwar era showbiz
I thought (from the thumbnail) that this would be about Roar, and yup, but also, this depressingly deep and long list of horrific, well, accidents is too kind, as you point out. Great summary at the end, tying this to "bottom lines" and the hubris of some creatives; these things may seem like the most important thing in the world while you're making them, but taking these risks, cutting these corners, recklessly chasing spectacle without thought to the consequences, and ultimately, for what? Media that is consumed and discarded, enriching studio heads and investors, and a lucky few in the production of high enough status to have a large stake. I feel like a lot of channels would just "list the stuff", here's your yucks and giggles about tragedy, and I love that you care enough to actually ask "why?" and draw us back to the human cost. Excellent as always.
The Twilight Zone death of Vic Morrow and the 2 children were horrible. Landis pushed a very risky helicopter stunt neglecting their safety. He even used the footage in the movie..There's irony to the whole situation especially watching the segment Vic is in.
Awesome video, Zane. This is why stunt coordinators and CGI are extremely important for safety on film and television productions. And as mentioned in the video, cutting corners never ends well. You have to be mindful of others’ safety as well as your own safety. Making films shouldn’t be life threatening.
I do wonder how much of Tippi Hedren's experience dealing with Alfredo Hitchcock's controlling nature over her and the way treated her, especially on the set of The Birds, affected her mentally. Hitchcock was a weird asshole.
The “Rust” incident is just the latest in the long line of on-set accidents that have cost lives. There’s a reason why so many productions immediately ceased use of actual firearms after Hylena Hutchins was killed
@@fmsyntheses You can tell just by watching the movie that animals were at least put in danger. Especially the original Japanese version 子猫物語 The Adventures of Chatran, which has many scenes of animal peril that were cut from the Milo & Otis version.

@@KasumiKenshirou I'm actually watching it for the first time right now. I'll keep an eye out. I loved the Milo and Otis version when I was a kid, but the Japanese movie has a soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto that's as amazing as everything he wrote.
This was such a great production. Not only did you keep my interest.But the speed at which you explained each disaster was very well paced and everything came together so well at the end especially when you are naming all the people.

On that Roar movie, couldn't someone find out how many people were inquired by the hospital records? And wouldn't animal control and the authorities be investigating when people ended up getting seriously injured by animals like lions and tigers?

ROAR is the most bizarre movie I have ever seen. You can feel the CONSTANT TENSION coming from the actors....Melanie Griffith looks terrified the entire time....and you watch every second wondering if someone is going to die.
ROAR triggers the part of your brain that remembers how dangerous nature can be. The fact that you have real lions with real humans displaying the subtle signs of distress most people never have to see in other people puts you on edge.
It's not the "scariest" movie ever, but it's easily the most stressful film ever made.
It's what I thought of when I first saw the title of the video.
I held my breath when any cat jumped or pressed their face into the actors

Partly why I am okay with CGI for certain stunts and digital doubles.

@@Strega_del_CorvoThe idea of cgi children in films... sounds like too much.
People just need to treat them with respect like every one else and not exploit them.
I'd hate to think we have a future of A.I. children running around in otherwise serious films. Talk about horror. Either that or we just phase children out of our stories, which seems arbitrarily limiting.
@Strega_del_Corvo
When I hear about the tragedies on big budget sets my mind always goes to Troma studios’ 3 rules of production. Rule No.1 is SAFETY TO HUMANS followed by SAFETY TO PEOPLE’S PROPERTY. They’re final rule (written in much smaller font) is MAKE A GOOD MOVIE! Nobody should be hurt, let alone killed just for the making of a film.
Kaufman is so cool, I genuinely really admire how consistently with it Troma was on their projects despite outwardly seeming like they wouldn’t be at all
Lions, Lions, and More Lions is the greatest movie title of all time
Eww, what are these tigers doing my lions movie??
The Harold Loyd section is about the only inaccurate ones. Loyd was maimed in 1919 and still had a 20 year-long career after that, and made many stunt-heavy slapstick features after that, Safety Last! (The one where he hangs from a clock tower) for example was made in 1923. He then became a producer. He usually employed stunt doubles for the more challenging sequences, to boot, contrasting his contemporaries like Chaplin and Keaton. But the video is great overall, apart from that, and commendable for the anti-exploitation drive behind it. We workers must be unionized and fight for our rights in every industry--nobody should ever die of work for the bosses' profit.
By the late 60s into the 70s, tv studios were re-packaging famous scenes from Silent era movies to make it them all appear as silly, primitive, slapstick comedy shorts. Harold Lloyd refused to allow his films to be used that way. His knew his films were deep, complex undertakings, and refused to let his films be disrespected and lumped in with "Keystone Cops" Benny Hill type foolishness.
Also Harold Loyd was the HOTTEST man from that era - ya'll were sleeping on my dude.
Lloyd's talkie work is also underrated--as is true of Keaton and Chaplin as well. All three did great talkies!
WHY WAS THERE A REAL BOMB ON SET??
probably for practical effects, done at a safe distance but got mixed up
After WW2 they started using real explosives a lot more because so many vets couldn't be fooled by faking it anymore. I would point out public enemy number one for a movie that uses real explosives in shots with their main actors.
This is just such an insane, hilarious thing to read
Because nobody gave a damn.
It was in the Ryder for the producer's contracts. "At least one person needs to nearly die for every million dollars!"
I still don't understand the mindset behind Roar. They loved big cats so much, they made a movie about several packs of big cats trying to kill a family. That's like saying you love horses so much, you made a movie about horses trampling people to death.
That's *not* the story of Roar. It's never presented in a way that suggests that the cats want to eat or murder anyone. The story focus is: There are a lot of wild cats that coincidentally end up in the home of an unsuspecting family. Naturally, the humans panic and try to get out of that situation, while the cats are mostly driven by curiosity or "reaction" (meaning they only react to the events around them). Cat aggression primarily happens as infighting.
I watched the movie as a child, with my family. There's mostly tension and comedy but no horror or "wild cat" defamation. Although, how you perceive that might also depend on individual sensibility, to some degree.
@@Kijinn I see Roar as being the cat version of Jaws. Here's a wild animal (or in Roar's case, multiple animals) made out to be deliberately targeting humans for no reason other than to kill. The humans are just living their human lives, when they're viciously and unprovokedly attacked by wild animal(s) because 'dangerous animal gonna dangerous animal'.
At least the guy who wrote Jaws realised the damage his book and the movie did to people's perception of sharks, and has worked to support research and preservation. Hedren and Marshall were never really about educating people on big cat behaviour.
@@EveryFairyDies
You're far off with that comparison. As I already said, Roar wasn't a horror movie. It was more of a comedy with high tension elements, like in a family adventure movie.
That said, it was certainly also a wild attempt to market it that way, due to the craziness of the production.
Still, within the story, no animal tried to harm any person (beyond accidental scratches) and no one died.
@@Kijinni find your comments to be pedantic, condescending and annoying. All you've done is argue over nothing in all of your replies. Its crazy how you've seemingly made arguing in youtube comments your hobby.
@@bece00
Yeah...those are always the greatest random comments, criticizing someone for being condescending by being condescending to them.
An especially great example of how to be a better human, when you derail the conversation to make it entirely about the person you're attacking. Is that *your* hobby?
It’s insane how many popular modern films still have trouble with securing safety on set. The dangers of set accidents are always talked about as an ‘old Hollywood’ problem but it clearly still happens to this day, it’s just not talked about…
Honestly, as someone with OCD, Howard Hughes' accidental contribution to harming so many people and getting so many sick sounds like my worst nightmare. I can't imagine what he must have felt going through that film over and over again as someone who also had OCD. It's any OCD-haver's worst thoughts come true.
he wasn't a good person
@@SuperRat420 never said he was - i can still empathize with that feeling
@@workingclassbrat1989 not fuckin me
@@SuperRat420jeez, get over yourself
@@SuperRat420 He's a better person than John Landis and Alec Baldwin, based on what is presented here. Those two guys didn't even feel guilty about killing someone. Note that Baldwin wasn't merely an actor on Rust, but is also a producer, and was responsible for hiring unqualified people to handle the firearms after the original people that he had hired quit over safety concerns.
That segment about Joe Martin might honestly be one of the greatest things I've heard in my life. Someone needs to make a movie about this.
Very true.
"'Great meaning large or immense. We mean it in the pejorative sense."
@@KasumiKenshirou great as in the absurdity of it left me awestruck.
I think it’s referenced in the movie Nope.
Maybe don't have a real Orangutan in it though?
Damm, knocking out an adult male orangutan with your bare hands is the most impressive Strongman feat I have ever heard of. Sad story overall though.
They shoud turn this into an event at worlds strongest man.
@@skogsmongo155 Only if the orangutan also gets a shot.
I was thinking the same thing. He must have done it in one punch too because if one punch hadn't done the job, he certainly wouldn't have gotten a second chance. No strongman, not even that particular guy would have stood a chance in a prolonged fight with an adult male orangutan
That one lion movie with hundreds of lions and big cats... Has to be one of the most INSANE movie projects I've ever learned about.. So many got so injured yet kept going
It’s absolutely horrible what happened on that set. If only someone had gone to the unions and ratted them out, Melanie, her brothers & the various other crew membership have been spared from the nearly fatal encounters
As you describing some of the issues with Joe Martin, all I could think was,
"If he were directing, people would just call him an uncompromising auteur."
"I would argue that the performance he got out of her justifies Martin biting Shelley Duvall on the face on the set of The Shining!"
It felt so weird when you started mentioning more recent movies like Deadpool 2 because, I've seen those movies, saw the crew publicizing them, and never heard someone literally died on set. Also notable that stuntpeople injuries are super overlooked, I'd feel sick if I was in Radcliffe's shoes, that person's job is to avoid you injuries.
Not that I fully disagree with you...but...it seems like you overlook the focal point of stunt work. The purpose of stunt work is taking risks that might potentially lead to bodily harm. When you create a movie without those risks, you don't need stunt actors.
Knowing that, of course, doesn't lessen the drama at all, when an accident happens during a stunt. What I can't see, though, is how it would help to highlight those accidents, once the movie is released. Can you enjoy watching a movie when you know that a person died or got seriously harmed during its making? Should the movie not be released when that happened? That would make the sacrifice even worse, wouldn't it? A stunt person tries their best for (maybe) many great scenes, dies, and then their work is never even shown to anyone. What a waste, no?
Even the idea of giving more spotlight to stunt people, by e.g. giving oscars for best stunts, would mean creating an environment where people compete for the most dangerous stunt works. Meaning that people would increase risks for a bigger spot in the lime light. Not a desirable consequence.
It seems like there is no good way to deal with this subject, other than to leave it in the background, quietly.
@@Kijinn I think you have good intentions, but I disagree with your conclusions. I didn't say movies with a death on set shouldn't be released, but it does feels grotesque to think of the cast going on about their day knowing someone died on set.
I also doubt a dead stunt actor would care much if their movie got released or not. While I have no clue how most stunt people feel about their work, If I died while building a house for someone else, I wouldn't care what happened to the house, I was doing my job. I would want people to know what happened and my collogues not to act as the house is amazing and nothing bad happened making it.
Finally, I disagree with the assumption that an oscar for stunts would increase danger as there's no proof of that and it seems weird to decide the best think to do is leave the topic in silence instead.
@@Riccardo_can
Nowhere in my text does it say that you suggested movies with a death on set shouldn't be released. I asked that as a rhetorical question. Please read more carefully.
Your idea of how stunt people might feel about their work after passing away doesn't hold much ground, because there's very little chance it applies to all of them. Humans differ. Additionally, there's more involved in making that release decision than just how the stunt person might feel about it. Tons of people work on a film.
So, you don't think that there's people out there who'd do anything to get an oscar? If you really need proof for that and don't get the impression that there's already lots of proof that some people would do anything for fame, recognition and money...I don't know what to tell you...other than...nice pink glasses you're wearing.
@@Kijinn mmh I think you should have another look instead: how does the fact that a few people might want to do dangerous things for an oscar mean we shouldn't give Oscar's for stunts? Does the best song award pushes people to write songs more dangerously? Maybe 1 in how many? We still give those though. Seem like starting from a conclusion and going backwards.
Anyway :'D don't know why you decided to get weirdly confrontational about this, guess that the end of the conversation, have a good day.
@@Riccardo_can
Not to linger on the conversation, but I'd like to apologize for becoming confrontational.
I may not be in the best mental condition for having discussions on personal opinions.
Peace and a good life to you!
I highly recommend the Kyle Hill video "Did Nuclear Fallout Kill Hollywood's Biggest Star?" for an in-depth look at radiation and The Conqueror.
The 'It Was A Shit Show' podcast episode is also fantastic!
There are rumors about similar circumstances with the making of *Stalker* (1979).
Behind the Bastards is good if you want to overdose on the mistakes, disasters, and crimes of the past.
I worry that indulging ourselves in the horrors of the past might prevent us from recognising the good parts, and may lead to people "throwing out the baby with the bathwater"
@@mattgilbert7347that podcast sucks, but anyway if people are too stupid to look at history as a whole because of media they consume then we are doomed
@@neonwallacewells7818 I wouldn't go that far. If you have your head on straight, it's entertaining.
Poor Joe Martin, it sounds like he felt real distress and grief and trauma. That would weigh on any living creature.
Omg I had such a hard time looking at the screen during the Roar section. Just seeing the neutrality, curiosity, fear from the cats and them seeing them abused, drowned, thrown down cliffs... I've never had to physically turn away during one of your videos.
It's crazy that all the omens saying "the universe says nope to this" were taken as signs to double down by Tippi & her hubby with forgettable name.
The part where the lion is playing with the boat, he looks just like my tomcat when he's hanging with me near the bath & plays with some floating thing...like the cocked head & expression were so similar but ONE IS A LION & THAT IS A FULL GROWN ADULT BOAT. My tomcat is a rescue & had obviously had abusive owners before I came along & I still have to be very present & watchful in our interactions bc he can be set off really easily & he can do some real damage --- which is MY FAULT when it happens bc it's quick but I can see when he's getting overstimulated. I also don't manhandle him bc it just increases his distress & I don't want to hurt him, even if it's a reflex to shake a cat off once they're sunk into you, but their claws + teeth are built to go harder if you're pulling away, so you have to counter-intuitively go further towards the cat, & force yourself to be stiller + quieter & to calm them enough to release you. If I panicked & flailed, I'd hurt us both more. That's a rare occurrence yet I cannot imagine the risk if he was even 10% bigger/stronger. A full grown lion is insane to just roll around with. Like you said, aside from the people, just the damage done to the animals who never asked to be in that situation.
I'm glad Zane talked about how they lied & did it behind union backs & how the trauma lingered.

On the topic of Rocky 4, Sly wanting to actually fight Dolph Lundgren is a fascinating act of hubris on the part of Sly. Dolph Lundgren was a black belt in Kyokushin Karate, Lundgren had been the European champion two years in a row.
Kyokushin Karate involves standing as close to your opponent as possible and beating the life out of them, it is a test of endurance, a test in taking abuse. What I'm trying to say is that fighting the two time European champion of Kyokushin Karate is like knowingly stepping in front of a moving bus.
anyway, great video as always good sir!
All I'm hearing is that Joe Martin acted like less of an animal than all the humans around him did.
Were the humans biting ankles, breaking arms, beating monkeys to death, and throwing people down the stairs?
@@behindthescenesphotos5133 No, but the humans were forcing and abusing an animal with very complex social needs to do their bidding, with no regard to that animals well being. If you were put in that position- Caged, no friends of your kind, no mate, "freedom" to wander your prison, forced to do all kinds of bewildering things for your captors amusement, and yelled out for reasons you cant comprehend when you are just attempting to navigate their world- you would lash out after years of that too.
Seriously, just look how rough society can be for neurodivergent HUMANS - Joe Martin was an orangutan, raised by and raised to be a human. Talk about trying to force a square peg into a round hole. If he did end up going insane in the end, I wouldn’t blame him at all. Also they stole his dad/only friend, and expected him to not be upset about it?
People need to know about these things. I love how you pointed out skilled labor isn't valued and the damaging effect of profit profit profit.
Moral of the video: If Cecil B. DeMille asks you to be an extra in one of his movies, don't do it.
I had a professor who was a second gaffer on Roar. After a week of shooting he was just the gaffer. You figure out why.
Love the thumbnail! Looks like you drew this one yourself, it's lovely. I always really dug your colors and compositions from your comic pages.
What on Earth has to go thru your head to have been thrown down TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS by an ape and then later go, "Yeah, I not only want to work with him again, but I'm going to continue yelling at him"?
Yes, I just don't understand that. Even if the movie studio was going to sue you for not fulfilling your contractual obligations or something, I would rather risk the lawyers than a wild animal.
You could make a "Saw"-like villain out of a Cecil B DeMille-type director, just pushing for bigger and bigger spectacle and racking up ever-growing body counts, all with malicious glee
I am so impressed by what Mr. Whitener has created here-he has called attention to some 120 years of abuses,injustices,tragedies and calamities perpetrated by the filmmaking industry.What an outstanding statement on behalf of human dignity and the rights of working people.
“So you’re telling me there’s a scene that requires a herd of 20 lions maul me to death and you want to accomplish this by smothering animal blood all over me and we’re just going to *hope* none of them kill me? …ok but only since it’s in the script”
With that thumbnail, Roar has to be on this list.
_"This is exhausting."_

my reaction: "this might be the most depressing first 5 minutes of a video i ever watched"
"oh, there's 43 more minutes..."
"Fun" fact: Years before Noah's Ark, Curtiz directed an Austrian biblical picture named "Sodom and Gomorrah" (1922) - and, of course, there were explosions ... and, of course, there were deaths and many injuries. The movie's pyrotechnician was sentenced to 10 days in jail and "500.000 Kronen" (considering the hyperinflation in Austria at this time, I am fairly certain that was not a huge amount of money ...)
I wouldn't say Harold Lloyd's accident killed his mainstream career, seeing as he made all of his feature length films afterwards. Anyway, good video.
Wow you're spoiling us for videos this month, super excited to check this one out
God, the stories about Roar are so upsetting. You can just see the potential for mauling in every frame of this movie. Terrifying. Poor cats. 15 died?!?!? fuck that.
Anytime someone on set talks about, “using live ammunition;” you know you’re in for one of these stories
You’ve been going crazy the last few weeks. Just pumping out high quality content like a factory who doesn’t care about workers rights
Wow, that Joe Martin segment absolutely broke my heart..
Claudia Christian had a miscarriage during the filming of Maniac Cop 2 due an stunt gone wrong. In the final chase scene of Mad Max 2 you can also see the footage of a stunt gone wrong that was kept in the film, one of the pursuers in a bike hits a car that had crashed in the road, instead of being propelled straight forward by the impact, as intended, the stuntman hit the car with his legs while he was already airborne causing him flip numerous times in the air before crashing, multiple broken bones and a long recovery were the result.
I guess it might have been helpful that George Miller had been an emergency room doctor, still working shifts at Saint Vincents Hospital while making the first Mad Max film ?
@@FionaOfMountLawley that might explain the *Mad Max* films. Imagine constantly seeing the results of people crashing in their cars and motorcycles going over 60 and 70 mph, and then deciding to make a movie that revolves around the carnage you deal with everyday.
IIRC that flipping stuntman was Guy Norris who continued to work with George Miller, he was second unit director and stunt coordinator on Fury Road, probably on Furiosa as well.
@@TheRealNormanBatesThat is exactly what inspired Miller to make Mad Max, working in the hospital and seeing the mayhem Aussies used to inflict on themselves and each other with their cars
150+ big cats, but they drew the line at a single hippo being too dangerous.
It is pretty ridiculous. That said, hippos are responsible for far more deaths in the wild than big cats of any species. Unless you count the "man eating lions", a specific familial line that had a birth defect that deformed their teeth. Tigers more actively attack humans as prey but hippos still beat them out despite not hunting humans as prey. Hippo's are just freaking vicious.
I mean, hippos are bar none one of the most dangerous land animals. One alone would've resulted in the deaths of MANY people.
That end few paragraphs is so direct and confronting and we need more of it everywhere.
Very,very true.
Hard disagree. It's gratuitously existential in a way that serves no purpose except to reinforce the nihilism it's supposed to be challenging. It uses fundamentally bad process and bad art as an excuse to belittle a form that's perfectly capable of being both enduring AND humane so long as the same fundamental humanity is represented by both its intent and execution. "No one's going to remember you" has never been an effective message by which to dissuade people from taking senseless risks. It's been proven endlessly that this is the very suspicion that causes most human beings with a creative impulse in them to double down on their own pride and excess. "Hey, filmmakers! Yeah, you guys! You know, self-proclaimed geniuses with religious trauma and repressed sexual dysfunction and drug problems? Have you tried reminding yourself to do a better job of looking after everyone's needs and safety and folding your reputation for decency and integrity into the larger legacy of the art you're making by more wholeheartedly embracing the very void you literally got into this business specifically to run from?" An absolutely tone-deaf, philosophically decadent coda to an otherwise brilliant video and an extremely disappointing and frankly baffling choice.
Oh yeah, and fuck Tippi Hedren.
@@zorantaylor3190 I was referring specifically about the politics of AI and how its accelerating the demise of what little empathy and human dignity people in creative fields have historically been given.
AI is and will always be purely a tool to remove the need for a living or ANY wage at all. And no humanity is being considered in the process. No law makers are raising the red flag. Capitalism is devouring at a pace never before witnessed, and there is no solution at all for the suffering it's causing.
Several indigenous extras were injured and killed on Fitzcarraldo by Werner Herzog. He treated the almost 1000 indigenous extras horribly and paid them very little. Which caused conflict with local tribes and Herzog leading to one tribe burning down the film set.

-The Joe Martin segment is wild lol (pun intended)-
I take that back: _Roar_ has him beat, for sure.
H.B. Halicki was also killed during filming for Gone In Sixty Seconds 2 when a steel cable snapped and brought down a telephone pole on him. This was after he destroyed the lower half of his spine with the famous jump and the spin into the light pole from the first film. The sad part is that the set had been properly secured beforehand and all the equipment was checked after they modified the water tower a truck was supposed to hit, but either faulty math or just time wearing on steel caused the water tower to lean so far to one side that one of the guide cables snapped.
Ngl the Joe Martin reveal actually made me laugh, I thought the video was messed up before then.
Day of the Locust is a great novel written by a Hollywood writer depicting these seedy wild card aspects of interwar era showbiz
I thought (from the thumbnail) that this would be about Roar, and yup, but also, this depressingly deep and long list of horrific, well, accidents is too kind, as you point out.
Great summary at the end, tying this to "bottom lines" and the hubris of some creatives; these things may seem like the most important thing in the world while you're making them, but taking these risks, cutting these corners, recklessly chasing spectacle without thought to the consequences, and ultimately, for what? Media that is consumed and discarded, enriching studio heads and investors, and a lucky few in the production of high enough status to have a large stake. I feel like a lot of channels would just "list the stuff", here's your yucks and giggles about tragedy, and I love that you care enough to actually ask "why?" and draw us back to the human cost.
Excellent as always.

Not to mention people in general, judging by him being highly protective of women and children.
brotha man you never miss with your music picks.
The Twilight Zone death of Vic Morrow and the 2 children were horrible. Landis pushed a very risky helicopter stunt neglecting their safety. He even used the footage in the movie..There's irony to the whole situation especially watching the segment Vic is in.
The name of the movie that Hughes watched repeatedly was "Ice Station Zebra".It wasnt "The Conqueror".
Awesome video, Zane.
This is why stunt coordinators and CGI are extremely important for safety on film and television productions. And as mentioned in the video, cutting corners never ends well. You have to be mindful of others’ safety as well as your own safety. Making films shouldn’t be life threatening.
I’m stunned at how many recent deaths there have been
It really dose put into perspective how screwed up the industry still is
The Lions movie is probably the most insane story I've ever heard of cutting every corner imaginable to have their movie made. Just utterly insane.
I do wonder how much of Tippi Hedren's experience dealing with Alfredo Hitchcock's controlling nature over her and the way treated her, especially on the set of The Birds, affected her mentally. Hitchcock was a weird asshole.
16:00 Alfred Santell, the guy who got injured TWICE by Joe Martin, was my great-grandfather! That's completely insane, I never knew this story!
That’s super cool! I love that
Now do the Soviet film industry. Klimov's live-ammo battle scenes, Tarkovsky's toxic-waste-soaked Stalker sets, Bondarchuk ...

What astosnish me the most is the fact gun related accidents had been in Hollywood since the beginning.
Great video
The “Rust” incident is just the latest in the long line of on-set accidents that have cost lives. There’s a reason why so many productions immediately ceased use of actual firearms after Hylena Hutchins was killed
Just on the strength of your closing comments I wish I could give multiple likes.
When Gene Wilder's character in Blazing Saddles said "I must've killed more men than Cecil B DeMille", I now know what he meant by that. Sheesh...
I would also add in The Adventures of Milo and Otis (1986) since that production caused a lot of cats and dogs to be killed on set.
Allegedly. Not proven.
@@fmsyntheses You can tell just by watching the movie that animals were at least put in danger. Especially the original Japanese version 子猫物語 The Adventures of Chatran, which has many scenes of animal peril that were cut from the Milo & Otis version.
You can see a cat thrown off a cliff in one scene! And a cat being confronted by a bear. And either a cat or a dog with a broken leg. (I don't remember which and I'm not going to watch that movie again to find out.)
@@KasumiKenshirou I'm actually watching it for the first time right now. I'll keep an eye out. I loved the Milo and Otis version when I was a kid, but the Japanese movie has a soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto that's as amazing as everything he wrote.
Jesus.
This was such a great production. Not only did you keep my interest.But the speed at which you explained each disaster was very well paced and everything came together so well at the end especially when you are naming all the people. I'm so unbelievably interested in things that go wrong during movie making and wait before you know TH-cam.There was a book called the The big book of celebrity murder and I bought it way back in like two thousand and three. It had a hundred page chapter on john landis alone and it was so good. John Landis is pretty much the Devil.
I might have missed it but you mentioned a crew member being killed in the making of the Crow TV series in the early 2000s but not Brandon Lee’s death in the making of the 90s film?
I mention later in the video that this covers less than a quarter of the history of injuries, I didn’t mention that one just because it’s so well known
It wasn’t a criticism, I’m sorry if it came across that way, I was just curious!!! I’m sorry!!
Oh no not at all! I did not take it as one in the slightest, I was just explaining why that wasn’t there is all, you’re good!
That was definitely a murder that got covered up
@@j.2512
