  • John Landis was criminally negligent! There is no reason why that copter should have been flying that low over the explosives.

    If I ever meet him in person, I'll knock his fucking teeth out

  • @detoth67 but how do you REALLy feel about Landis?

  • That guy had the nerve to blame Vic for his death, are you kidding me, yeah Vic cut his own head off. give me a break.

  • 100 yards away. Are you sure? 

  • I wonder how did you get this.

  • @Kaffyboy

    You my friend, have CLASS.

  • @VICMORROWFAN

    I'm watching BLACKBOARD Jungle on TCM for the 1st time, as a very young child I remember seeing his remarkable talent back in [Twilight]. I realize it HIM a young Vic! I totally understand how your a FAN. I'm jealous you beat me to it. Man, I need to catch up! After all I am only 31.

  • WOW! R.I.P.

    Vic was a great talent

  • So sad that little girls were killed like that, I mean the older girl was decapitated. Such a sad event brings me to tears thinking about it.

  • I read a book about it a while ago, Morrow was considering leaving the film because Landis was being totally reckless about filming the stunts and seemed coked out half the time, he even talked to his lawyer about it, but tragically he decided against it because he thought leaving a film halfway through would hurt his career. Landis was and still is a total jackass, and struts around to this day lecturing people about guns as if he didn't already have 3 notches on his own belt.

  • He sounds like a real pecker. As a Hollywood liberal, it doesn't shock me that he preaches against guns, though I'm sure he's protected by guards & his house is in a nice, posh Hollywood area. To hire people illegally & then for something like that to happen, if John Landis had any conscience he would've gone into seclusion & never directed anything again. I know he felt terrible but not enough as far as I'm concerned. I, personally, wouldn't even want to live anymore.

  • is the real video???

  • @10TORMENTOR Sadly, yes it is.

  • Do a barrel roll

  • JAJAJAJA

  • @XUKKY you know this is real

  • @doomguy5000 It's true though, isn't it ?

  • @doomguy5000 You are 19 and a virgin, am i right ? Stop playing with your joystick troll and get a life.

  • @doomguy5000 Yep, decapitation is really funny. Prick. 

  • @doomguy5000 How do you think that 3 people dying is so funny?

  • @doomguy5000 You are an idiot! Do you think thats funny?

  • Sometimes I really hate my curiosity. This is so awful. R.I.P to the lost actors. So sad.

  • ugh biased emoitnally driven videos like this do nothing but sully peoples memories.

  • Why was this footage not destroyed straight away? They did that with the footage of Brandon Lee's death.

  • couldn't they have just done things "separate" and merged them together later, some of the film effects of the 1920-30 still amaze me today so i think they could have done that here

  • He'll never be the head of a major corporation.

  • Sad.

  • i jhope he has bad dreams cos' u can't escape something like this. From things he has said in interviews n on trial he never once took a slight responsibility for this, yes it was an accident on his part but if nothn else he n everyone else had a lot of responsibility for this, he was trusted and everyone was just doing what the director was telling them believing it would turn out okay. Man what an evil guy to have no conscience or feel the slightest, for that he should have been prosecuted!

  • @Everyone thats arguing omg give it a rest whooo cares about our vast knowlegde and just honor these human beings deaths

  • 0:19 the picture of the girl on the right made me shit my pants right now

  • Fuck you, John landis!

  • @Remembermylai

    You took the words right out of my mouth!

  • NO SOUND OR NOTHING! I WANT MY YOUTUBES WORTH! VIC MARROW. VIC MARROW. WE LOVE YOU, VIC MARROW. YOUR HEAD IS ONLY A DAY AWAY.

  • holy sheeyit. never seen this before...kinda wishing i hadn't now.

  • I love this.

  • 0:11 clearly can see kid and actor get beheaded. RIP

  • Very terrible rip.....

  • that is a terrible way to die .. what a freak accident ... RIP =(

  • ...This didn't have to be put up on youtube... yet, what I don't understand is why John Landis didn't wipe the footage..

  • @dachewth

    They should have shelved it as or at least put in a dedication in there-I remember watching it in the theatre at the time everyone hated that segment and most didn't even know Vic or cared about what happened......

  • CGI my sack!!!!three people died.Get it? Ego boy. Landis is only half responsible.A well trained pilot would have known how to operate that bird safely.He could have lifted.We lost a good man.Sorry if i seem harshbut Illegals don't make me so sad.too bad they were kids....That said the pilot is responsible for safely operating the chopper.He could have lifted.. God bless the families..RIP.

  • @gerb509

    That's why the pilot was also on trial-he and the killer Director. Still the Director is the Captain of the ship and must Man-up and take responsibility. It was his film-he wrote and Directed it and 3 lives were taken because of his quest for realism......

  • Poor Vic Morrow, My-Ca Lee and Renee Chen.....

    Feel so bad for their families....

    John Landis should be sitting in prison

  • @ladybuggirl1982

    Agreed.....

  • @VICMORROWFAN this happened the day before i was born, and not far from where i was born

  • John Landis hasn't made a good movie in over 20 years.

  • @dp6876

    Hasn't had a hit in nearly 25 years-Karma got him at least........

  • is difficult to see an actor's career end this way .. even more now, knowing that he father was the great actress and beautiful woman: JENNIFER JASON LEE .. rest in peace .. SIR VIC

  • @JEFFRIBASS

    To see his career end this way?! What about his life? Geez.

  • @RandomPlayIist - a carreira e a vida também..lógico né meu amigo, mas estamos falando de um ator mundialmente conhecido! sei muito bem que a vida vem em primeiro lugar, independentemente de sua colocação social. SATISFEITO?

  • @RandomPlayIist - A VIDA TAMBÉM, LÓGICO, NÉ MEU AMIGO..MAS ESTAMOS FALANDO TAMBÉM DE UM ATOR MUNDIALMENTE CONHECIDO, COM UMA CARREIRA AINDA EXTENSA PELA FRENTE.

  • @JEFFRIBASS

    I understand that but it just sounds strange to say it that way considering he died.

  • @RandomPlayIist ooooohhhh, meu querido, talvez tenha soado assim para você, mas não foi minha intenção jamais de colocar a carreira em primeiro lugar, pois sabemos que a vida é mais importante..apenas achei redundante, fazer uma colocação tão óbvia assim.abraço

  • @JEFFRIBASS

    não se preocupe, meu querido

  • From a documentary i read a long time ago,it said that Vic Morrow was dacapitated and died seconds before his head came off,and the asian boy's body was opened from the blade cutting down his shoulder and his intestines came out,the Asian girl was also decapitated

  • never seen this film, but i hope that made it onto the final cut! Bad ass FX, lol @ 0:10

  • Were the children's parent's illegal immigrants?

  • @Duvmasta no, there were child labor laws, it was shot at 2:30 am, he didn't have a permit and the permit also required a social worker on scene to determine whether or not the environment was safe for children...

  • @Duvmasta

    No-but they were taken advantage of.........

  • The actor is a douchebag and a shithead. He killed one of my favorite actors....I'm glad his career was ruined because of what he did!!

  • @adam271976 John Landis? His career wasn't ruined, the next year he directed Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' video and his career went from strength to strength!

  • @Useless2112

    He last money maker was Coming to America in 1987-that was because of Eddie Murphy-he went downhill after that........

  • @adam271976

    You mean the Killer Director-I guess he has done some cameos because he can't get Directing jobs anymore....

  • Fucking idiot director. How can someone so stupid and shallow be let on set with real pyrotechnics and a real helicopter. They didnt even need to use a reaon one, it could have been one on a crane or something. At least Michael Bay is safe with his god damn explosions

  • @SinsChannel But that's not as cool, and it doesn't chop up actors as quickly as the real thing.

  • @Useless2112

    Shut the fuck up

  • @SinsChannel Why don't you make me? Try crashing a helicopter into me, that seems to work.

  • @Useless2112

    I'd rather you be chopped by one than Vic Morrow.

  • @SinsChannel Me too! A man can dream...

  • @Useless2112

    Whats wrong with you?

  • @SinsChannel Possessed by demons... sex demons.

  • @SinsChannel It's called an accident. They used real pyro and a real chopper because they didn't possess the technology to just digitally insert the desired imagery at the time. This was how movies were filmed back then, and accidents happen.

  • @slightlyoutofreach01

    I am well aware of the technical flaws of the set and i am also aware that they were about 10 years short of digital super-imposing a helicopter, im saying, that through shot maneuvering, the helicopter could have been on a crane of some sort, with composited explosions rather than real ones, or a miniature could have been used.

  • This is so crazy! OMG! 

  • Oh man, that was chilling.

    Rest In Peace Mr. Morrow, My-ca Le and Renee Chen.

  • @IIIIdepechemodeIIII where can I watch the death one cuz on theync i can't watch it my iPod touch doesn't play the vids on that site..but Omg u actually saw it?!!

  • Omg I was on theync(dawt)com and it shows this video frame by frame and it actually shows vic morrow and one of the kids head fly off literally decapitated.

  • @SuperGreedz right...it's definately sickening to watch.

  • were they all ok?

  • @mitsufan77 presuming you're not joking....no...all three got their heads cut off by the helicopter blade.

  • @IIIIdepechemodeIIII Actually just Vic and the boy were decapitated, the girl was crushed by the helicopter. I read all about it online.

  • wow they were really going all out with that scene....

  • tremendo

  • I jus came 2 kno abt Vic Morrow death in this way, its break my heart. He jus disappeared in my life for decade & i was wondered where my eternal hero gone. i loved 2 watch him (combat) wen i was teenage & now 45. its make me cried out wen im stupidly hvin disco queen at dat time he death. i missed him & never be 4gotten R.I.P.VIC MORROW.

  • @2288ann when combat was big they were showing movies that vic did before that on tv likeblackboard jungle potrait of a mobster and there was a western with audi murphy i forgot the title

  • DECAPITATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

  • I don't understand how you got the footage cause I know the director didn't put this horrific scene in the movie

  • @mattdogg65 it's from "death scenes" three, i believe. I have it, and when I saw it, i was like "wtf?!?, they put THIS on here?!?"

  • @IIIIdepechemodeIIII

    I saw it on the CBS evening news-they showed for the 1st time ever at the end of the  Dan Rather newscast in 1983 during the pre-trial. It was the most shocking thing I have ever seen. I was stunned beyond belief

  • Comment removed

  • @mattdogg65

    It was first shown on the news in 1983 during the pre-trial-than more angles/footage during the trial in 1985.

  • damn you can see the beginning a close up of the impact..sick..they musvt been sliced into pieces..

  • @bustsomecaps

    THE MAIN ACTOR AND ONE OF THE CHILDREN GOT DECAPITATED AND THE OTHER CHILD WAS CRUSHED THERESA UNCENSORED VERSION OUT THERE..

  • o Matko !!!!!!!! 

  • Vic Morrow eternal missing for Brazilians people ,me for example i couldn`t sleep every friday night 9:15 pm whitout seeing my eternal heroe, and I just came to knoe about her death las year 2009 for another Brazilian friend she told me crying and did me crying too i was 14 and now 57 and vic will never disappear from my mind never foggoten The Great Saunders Sargeant, Kirk ,jason l.tennant, the doctor ,kaser,

  • 0:11 YOU CAN SEE TWO HEADS AWAY FROM THE BODYS

  • People bitch about CGI, but a CGI helicopter wouldn't have done that.

  • @kives1985 CGI FUMF.Equipment fails. I don't need your opinion. Dead are three people.hope you,and your ego are fulfilled.CGI my nuts!!!!!

  • @kives1985

    well now they use real helicopters and just CGI the blade, they then use a crane or lift of some kind to move it and make it look like it's flying

  • o.o.. lookslike toys

  • Jesus, around 0:10 in the left corner you see two heads fly out of the screen, pluss before you see that, notice vics and the childs head are aligned

  • QUIEN NO RECUERDA LA SERIE INTERNACIONAL DE TELEVISION "COMBAT"..AHI CONOCIMOS A PRINCIPIOS DE LOS AÑOS SETENTA AL ACTOR VIC MORROW...TRISTE EL FIN DE SU VIDA, PERO QUEDARA EN EL RECUERDO DE QUIENES APRECIAMOS SU GRAN TRABAJO COMO ACTOR...DESCANSE EN PAZ, JUNTO CON LOS PEQUEÑOS HERMANOS ACTORES QUE FALLECIERON DURANTE LA FILMACION DE UNA PELICULA...

  • I still can't figure out how Landis got acquitted for that incident. How could he have possibly thought that allowing two minors to work on a dangerous set in the middle of the night would be a good idea, let alone legal? And why did he allow a star actor to do his own stunts along with those two minors under such conditions?

  • @Akira625 If you have enough money you can get away with any crime. Spielberg is also responsible for these deaths

  • @HoosierMF it wasnt deliberate - its called an accident

    sheesh

  • @poosaypirate Doesn't have to be deliberate to be a crime.

  • @HoosierMF if somebody does something so reckless like drives a car on the sidewalk and kills somebody its manslaughter also speilburg delibretly hired those children off the books and had them working off hours late at night against child labor laws

  • @spacepatrolman It's not just Spielburg who's at fault, it also involves Landi, the director of the movie. His attitude about the death's of Vic Morrow and the children went in vain. Read the articles on this story before coming into conclusions. There is more then one person to blame asswipe.

  • @triminial i read more than articles i read books who are you calling ass wipe you stupid jerk i KNOW ALL ABOUT LANDIS HE WAS ACCUSED BEFORE BUT NOT USUUALLY SPEILBURG EXCEPT IN BOOKS THAT YOU DIDNT READ

  • @HoosierMF No, Spielberg was unaware of what happened until the aftermath. He terminated his friendship with John Landis because of this.

  • @captchaossega

    Correct!

  • @HoosierMF

    Spielberg was not there-and he never did speak to the Killer again.

    He didn't know of the hiring of the kids or it would have never happened imho.

    I have a good source Speilberg was not there.

    And he was so disgusted by the whole thing he let the assistant Director do the horrible ''Kick the Can'' episode.

    The only good part of that film was the last segment with the Gremelin on the wing-and that still pales to Shatner's great take. Hollywood STOP doing these remakes!!!!!!

  • Brutal.

  • landis should be in prison.

  • Landis has never said sorry!

  • R.I.P

  • R.I.P

  • I don't understand how Landis wasn't blacklisted from Hollywood. Proves how fiendish and evil Hollywood is (especially the Jews).

  • @einsteinslies Vic Morrow, the actor who died, was Jewish.

  • @einsteinslies ewww what kind of a wretched person are you to spew such nonsense as that

  • @einsteinslies I don't think that is a fair statement.

    We here in France have many French Criminals, Corrupt Politicians and

    alike--and, we too have vulgar, pornographic and the like-

    Why do you chose to again resurrect this Anti-Semitic nonsense?

    There are Good and Bad in all peoples. And if you don't like what is coming out of Hollywood, then don't support them.

    But, to blame the Jews is vulgar.

    When do people begin to learn to love one another?

    God, I hate it when I hear this "merd-"

  • @poitrenaud its because of reverse antisemitism and the fact that hollywood is a company town that speilburg got away with murder .

  • @spacepatrolman I would like to think that is not true. I know so many good people of all heritages, and

    remember, too that Vic Morrow was too of the Jewish faith, as was Rick Jason.

    I don't think that should have any bearing on anything-

    God rest is soul, such a fine man.

    And also Rick Jason, he too passed away

  • @poitrenaud

    Rick blew his brains out years ago-no note-nobody knows why-he'd been doing Combat cruise conventions just a week before he did it. Maybe he had Dementia?

  • @spacepatrolman i might agree.

  • Years earlier, Vic Morrow had a premonition that he was going to die in a helicopter crash.

  • And now I understand better why filmmakers rely so much on computer generated special F/X since that time.

  • It's hard to say who was to blame directly. I just read the whole story about what happened in detail and it appears that the nature of filming and risk taking was common practice back in the 70's and 80's. It was something that filmmakers got accustomed to, even breaking laws of thing they weren't supposed to do. Landis should have taken the blame, but he also became one of the most careful directors after that incident. There's a lot to the story. Type in 'detailed death of Vic Morrow'. Read.

  • I had no idea it was even open for viewing to the public, let alone on Youtube. Wow! Horrible!!

  • @ImOfNope

    It was on the news back in 1983/84. Then those horrible Death tapes...........

  • @VICMORROWFAN You know NOTHING about this case mate. If you don't respect others opinions, then why the fuck should we respect yours. This WAS an accident, and you're an arrogant prick! I agree Landis was an idiot, but to call these people murderers is kinda slanderous, don't you think?! I love Vic Morrow, and he would want to be remembered for his body of work, and NOT the way he died!!! You call yourself a fan....what a fucking joke. You're obsessed with the way he died, not with his acting!!!

  • @Kaffyboy

    Yeah right. I have everything Vic did from Film to TV appearances.

    You are in love with that Wingo-who had the nerve to blame Vic for is own death on the stand to save his own ASS!

    You don't like Vic or you wouldn't have made such hateful comments.

    You don't like my opinion or my channel then move on.

    I banned you for your disrespect and attitude and you continue it here.

    Your ignorant and I can say what I feel and in my heart and on my channel.

    That killer pilot is just as guilty...

  • @VICMORROWFAN I don´t think anyone is guilty here. It´s just a horrible, horrible accident. Why do people always want someone who´s guilty? So they can point at them?

  • @Kaffyboy

    It seems that I have got under your skin.

    I know Vic's body of work probably better than anyone.

    You are angry because deep down you know I'm right.

    Anyone friends with that has-been pilot Wingo needs to get the facts straight.

    Wingo blamed Vic for his own death-do you deny that?Watch him or read his testimony in the books.

    He has done interviews here on YT that are tasteless and disgusting-do you deny that?

    I question your intelligence and anger as you use many colorful metaphors...

  • Comment removed

  • DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNN!!!

  • it seems like the twilight zone for reel.

  • Death...when it 'came'.

    

  • Apparently there is close up footage where you can see the heads decapitated. Not nice to see, but wondered if it was available.

  • unlike the other clip. this one showed the thing.

  • 28th anniversery RIP

  • SPLATTER !!!!!!

  • VICMORROWFAN, Where you can see scenes from Morrow picking the kids?

    Sorry for my poor English

  • rest in peace,Vic!

  • @viking1281 How did Spielberg, Lucas and Marshall get away scot-free

    from the liability of this tragedy?

    Poor children, and the Great Vic Morrow--

    RIP

  • @poitrenaud Lucas had NOTHING to do with this movie; try getting your facts straight next time.

  • I always wondered if Spielberg was there on the set when this happened. If he was and ran and would lose all respect for him.

    I have never read or heard any proof just rumors.

  • @VICMORROWFAN

    He wasn't on set, he was a producer. My dad was working on Temple Of Doom at the time and they all skedaddled for a bit.

  • @LeilaniLad

    Yeah I knew he co-produced it. I'm glad he wasn't there.

    I did read that Spielberg didn't even bother directing his segment of TZ because he was so upset. He let the AD do it. I guess that's why it's a pretty bad.

  • my mom went to school with his two daughters she said that after their dad died they left the school and she hasnt seen carrie or jennifer since.

  • Yikes. Rest in Peace

  • chop chop the helicopter says..dangerous and idiotic stunt.

  • According to the Crime Report

    there was a scene filmed the night before of Morrow finding the two kids in a hut covered in mud and talking to them. Does this piece of film exist anymore or is it not avalible in any form?

  • @presleyj1

    I have that footage somewhere in my Vhs collection. The scene shows Vic picking up the kids out of a bamboo trunk in close up. Turning towards the camera yelling and 3 seconds later an explosion blowing up the hut.

    It's so depressing and sad I haven't watched it in over 10 years.

  • @VICMORROWFAN

    If you could find it and upload it, that would be great. I know it may be sad, but I would like to see it.

  • @presleyj1

    I'll see if I can. I've never uploaded anything. I think I did burn it to Dvd and then I have to learn how to upload it.

    I have to find it first.

  • @VICMORROWFAN I always wondered how the story was originally going to end. They were able to patch up a 'complete story' with him trapped in the train at the end, but was that the original ending or a lead up to the redemption when he saves the kids? Always wondered about that.

  • @captchaossega

    The ending was the way it was in the finished film. After he saved the kids he was to be back in Germany and labeled a Jew and sent to a concentration camp..............

  • I was a HUGE fan of - and had a HUGE crush - on him. In Combat he was freaking hot. Tho Rick Jason was good looking Vic Morrow just had that special something. A real man. He excuded sex appeal. The video is kinda too graphic for me.

    I still am shocked that those bastards got off scott free.

  • That is extremely horrific

  • @lupoistheman1.i only learned about his death today.i saw the twilight zone movie but never knew about the accident.it s just terrible.

  • Absolutley no where to go, he was dead before the chopper ever landed

    I wonder how much the family was paid from insuance claim 2 to 50 million??

  • yea when it gets right down to it even your favorite directors are fuckin scumbags!

  • If you pause at about 0:15 you can see the blades hitting them...are those the two heads that were decapitated? You see something float a few inches into the air...

    Rest in peace...

  • The producers should have destroyed this FOOTAGE after the end of the investigation

  • im so sad because he was the guy from the bad news bear movie which i like and may they rest in peace but the little girl looks like she is evil i mean look at her she looks evil,may they rip

  • @doh60 she doesnt look evil, the pictures were obviously taken of the kids between takes and the had muck on thier face, she was smiling, they were prob very excited doing this...been in a movie

  • @daedralord1

    i feel like a douche now

  • @doh60,

    Yeah, well maybe you should.

  • @daedralord1,

    Yeah, I actually think they look cute with mud on their faces. RIP Myca, Vic and Renee

  • wow, i remember when this happened back in the early 80's!

  • Realmente triste, ver a mi idolo de chico, morir asi. Siempre te recordare!
