"Our Gang" from the 20s & 30s- I think those short films were cursed because of how many of its young stars died.

Weren't "Poltergeist" and "Passion of the Christ" said to be cursed, as well?

The Exorcist.
Twilight Zone the movie for Vic Morrow, I think.
This is pathetic.

Bruce Lee & Brandon Lee...
Did anyone ever see the "Unsolved Mysteries" episode about them? Weird...
Brandon Lee was shot and killed on set of (The Crow?) with a gun that was "Loaded" with "real" ammo.
I'll try to explain.
Those in charge of the film were *BEEP*. They did not have a gun expert on set, and it was also decided to take real ammunition, and modify it for different purposes.
They took the bullets out and made blanks out of some of them. They also made some dummy rounds by taking the gun powder out and putting the bullets back in the casing. But all the primers on the dummy rounds were supposed to have been fired, before putting the bullets back in... Not all of the dummy rounds had their primers fired...
Here is what happened.
They shot a scene with the gun right up on the camera lens. This featured the dummy rounds rotating as the gun was fired. An unfired primer, fired. The bullet left the casing and went into the gun barrell. There it sat.
Later BRANDON Lee was on set, and an unidentified actor needed to point the gun at BRANDON Lee, and he was supposed to fire blanks from the gun. The cameras rolled. The actor fired the gun. The blank had a full load charge. That explosive force, went into the gun barrel, which forced the bullet out...at full force...and it went into Brandon Lee.
Brandon Lee was basically shot with a regular full round of ammunition.

Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote and Sternberg's I, Claudius were both said to be jinxed and were abandoned.

Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote and Sternberg's I, Claudius were both said to be jinxed and were abandoned. Never heard about Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote being cursed is any supernatural way. It was just a mess from production design point of view and a big commercial risk, which is why some unfortunate events early on resulted in production being shut down after just some days of shooting. Lost in La Mancha is a great "unmaking of" documentary about what happened to that project. Such a shame it never got made. What little footage Gilliam was able to shoot with Jean Rochefort & Depp was great. |

I was friends with Heather O'Rourke's Dad. He said that Sampson Poltergeist II actually blessed the site because there were so many problems. It was so bad that the cast refused to go back to the set until Sampson performed the ritual.

Rebel Without A Cause comes to mind. Three major players (James Dean Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo) all died young and under tragic circumstances. Supporting players who met untimely ends include Ed Platt (suicide), William Hopper (cancer) and Nick Adams (drug overdose). |

The Conqueror (1956), not actually "cursed" since the reason is known, but it's still tragic what happened.

Didn't they hang a midget while making Wizard of Oz and later cover it up?

When you do the side by side comparisons of that version and the remastered version, the cover up suddenly doesn't seem so silly. The bird isn't standing between the same trees as the alleged dwarf corpse is swinging between. Regardless whatever we see swinging in the background is odd and unsettling. |
