a crime scene technician testified that there were more live bullets on set than previously known

HOW was this allowed to happen? Holy shit.

[hellicoptajuuce]

apparently the person they hired to do all the gun safety stuff was a mess, like they had blanks and live bullets mixed together

Jesus. CHRIST.

[theworldahead]

the reason the john wick movies are so fucking serious about gun safety is that director chad stahelski was friends with brandon lee and was his stunt double on the crow :/

[daredevilwolf]

yup he saw his friend die

[spankmypirate]

I had no idea he was ever in this movie, oh my fucking god. I wonder why he was recast

[slaygalthessily]

I think he was recast because of scheduling. Or that’s what the article I read said. But I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t want to go back.

So the scene Alec was rehearsing at the time of the shooting was a scene where Jensen’s character is supposed to get shot. It was a rehearsal and they seemed to be figuring out the exact shots camera wise for Alec for the scene so Jensen was outside or off to the side at the time of the tragic shooting. I saw part of his police interview about it when it was floating around on Twitter. I wouldn’t be surprised if that played into the decision not to return.

welp, i wouldn't come back to this set if it was possible anyway, but especially if the gun that ended up killing someone was to be pointed at me

[pepsi_twist9]

With the implication that this was a planned murder? Who was the target?

[slaygalthessily]

Jensen or Alec, maybe? Like in an interview (with police) Jensen mentioned a shoot out and since both of them had live rounds in their prop guns?

[xtinkerbellax]

Is that the implication?

[neev]

No, with the implication that the set was an absolute unmanaged unprofessional shitshow, I think. The armorer was truly inept
