“I should have asked for a stunt double!”
—
Vic Morrow, last words. (Morrow said this before filming a challenging scene for “Twilight Zone: The Movie” with a helicopter. During filming, the helicopter lost control, and fell on the actors. He and one of the two children were decapitated while the other was crushed by the falling helicopter.)
Due in part to the deaths of Morrow, Le, and Chen, the fact that the children were illegally hired to circumvent child labor laws, and the nighttime schedule during which the children were working without supervision, child labor laws were reformed, as were safety regulations on movie sets in the state of California.(Wikipedia)
