I took the article to mean that the unions had walked off the film set because of safety issues and and that non-unionised and untrained people had taken over their jobs arguably leading to the tragedy. Can’t see how that is blaming the unions for the death tbh. What are they being blamed for? Withdrawing their Labour as a legitimate protest? There are plenty of other similar reports online, I just picked the Mail because it was the first that came up. I can’t see anything contentious about their reporting in this instance.Trust the Mail to blame the unions!
But those are places where you'd legitimately expect there to be live ammunition.
The gun that killed Lee had a live round remnant in it from previous firing.
If it’s a western they should have been using black powder
Why would the shot hit a director and not another actor, surely in the movies you pretend to shoot at the other actor?
As producer, he faces possible jail time if he gun supervision was unqualifiedHi, what can you say, i'm not a fan of the Baldwin brothers, to bolshie and up their own arses, the last time i heard of Alec, he was under arrest for hitting a woman paparazzi, But in this case my hart goes out to him, as tony l, pointed out he will have to live with this for the rest of his life, also he will never get rid of this demon,

Depends on the period of the movie.
Sounds like budgets were tight and corners cut. Perhaps historical authenticity wasn’t a priority either.Well if it’s a western it presumably would be set between 1800-1900 so I suppose the last 10 years of the west might have seen some use of nitro in sidearms.
I was quoting the BBC report.Actually no. It was a piece of wadding from a blank round that pierced the heart. Brandon Lee was offered the use of a bullet proof vest before filming the scene, but declined. There are generally no "remnants" left in the barrel of a gun after firing a live round.

This from Wiki about the Lee incident :
"In the film shoot preceding the fatal scene, the prop gun (which was a real revolver) was loaded with improperly-made dummy rounds, improvised from live cartridges that had the powder charges removed by the special effects crew, so in close-ups the revolver would show normal-looking ammunition. However, the crew neglected to remove the primers from the cartridges, and at some point before the fatal event, one of the rounds had been fired. Although there were no powder charges, the energy from the ignited primer was enough to separate the bullet from the casing and push it part-way into the gun barrel, where it got stuck — a dangerous condition known as a squib load. During the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be fired at Lee from a distance of 3.6–4.5 meters (12–15 ft), the dummy cartridges were replaced with blank rounds, which contained a powder charge and the primer, but no solid bullet, allowing the gun to be fired with sound and flash effects without the risk of an actual projectile. However, the gun was not properly checked and cleared before the blank was fired, and the dummy bullet previously lodged in the barrel was then propelled forward by the blank's propellant and shot out the muzzle with almost the same force as if the round were live, striking Lee in the abdomen."
Hi, what can you say, i'm not a fan of the Baldwin brothers...
You could edit the Wiki entry.Totally contradicts 2 biographies of him that I've read, but not the first time that a biographer will have been misinformed, I suppose. Although news reports at the time reported the wound was caused by card wadding, it doesn't surprise me that a squib load is given as the issue by Wiki - it's the obvious thing to look for in a case like this.
No one deserves this. My heart goes out to the victim/s of this tragedy but Baldwin will suffer. So traumatising for all.Hi, what can you say, i'm not a fan of the Baldwin brothers, to bolshie and up their own arses, the last time i heard of Alec, he was under arrest for hitting a woman paparazzi, But in this case my hart goes out to him, as tony l, pointed out he will have to live with this for the rest of his life, also he will never get rid of this demon,
