Cripes, those SyFy movies are dangerous

[wraithfodder]

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.

Had not heard about the Hercules actor. I remember Powers Boothe nearly drowned filming the Emerald Forest in Brazil. Eric Fleming (Rawhide) drowned filming a movie in Peru. Still shudder at what happened to Vic Morrow on Twilight Zone set... and these are just the actors. Crew and stunt people, even models, have met nasty ends on location filming. Eegads, I read too many newspapers...

It was Kevin Smith - the guy who played Ares. This happened 10 years ago right after he finished filming a movie in Beijing. I remember it, because he was due to start filming a movie with Bruce Willis in Hawaii right afterwards.

Vic Morrow's death still haunts me.

Yes, Kevin Smith. Wasn't sure if I remembered the right name so I didn't write it down.

Had to google Kevin Smith, but remember his death now. Sad.

Very, he was young and had a family I believe.
