OK, did some research on IMDB tonight after watchin THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY- found out interestingly in the trivia section that Clint Eastwood came VERY close to being accidentally killed in that scene involving the destruction of the bridge, since a fist-sized piece of rubble slammed into the sandbag near his head while he & Eli wallach were sheltering from the explosion. Now, WI said piece of rubble had been closer ? What impact of no Man with No Name or Dirty Harry ?
I also recall another such brush with death for Charlie Sheen, when, during the filimng of PLATOON in 1986, the Huey he was travelling in momentarily spun out of control, such that he nearly fell out of the chopper & was only saved by Keith David grabbing him by the arm to haul him back in. WI Charlie hadn't been so fortunate ?
Can any-1 else think of any other such incidents involving actors who nearly suffered fatal accidents ?
