Cripes, those SyFy movies are dangerous

It seems most Stargate actors are off doing wretched SyFy movies in out-of-the-way (aka cheap) locations, and now one of them was badly injured in the process.

Corin Nemec was in a boat crash in Belize, and broke his femur in three places (!)and lost a lot of blood. Luckily, he survived. Others, including the lead actor, were injured. No mention of names. Full details at http://7newsbelize.com/sstory.php?nid=24537.

Gads, think it's time to bring all these flicks back to filming in the States/Canada where there are stricter laws and regulations...

Hope Corin recovers; a break that bad could leave a permanent injury.

The way I'm reading it, Corin is the lead actor as well as a producer.

There are two movies from the same company, Titan Global Entertainment, mentioned here, Jurassic Attack and Poseidon Rex.

The former shows Belize as a filming location, but it's in post-production. The latter I can't find much more than a monster movie poster image. I'm thinking maybe they filmed both with the same crew and locations, maybe some of the same actors as well, all to save more money.

That had to be a horrifying experience for Corin, and I have a feeling he's going to have a lot of healing time followed by PT to get his leg back into shape. Hope he can get back home soon to rest and recover.

Ah, I see where I made the error. https://www.facebook.com/StevenHelmkampPage - FB page for another 'lead' actor on the movie. Has photo with Corin in it.

It would not surprise me if two movies were made by teh same production company at the same time to save money. Alas, this will be penny-wise pound-foolish if any lawsuits arise. Although not sure how that occurs in a foreign country.

Corin's got a long stretch ahead of him to heal that leg, and hopefully there's no problem with all the blood transfusions. When you lose too much blood, sometimes you develop clotting issues (as in no clotting). Don't know how soon it will be when he can head to the States as sometimes with some breaks, you can't fly due to pressure differences and shifting bones.
