@Daitsdudes honestly you are an enabler and people like you are why people like Landis get away with manslaughter, involuntary or not he should have been punished for his shitty decision making but instead he got a slap on the wrist and paid off the victims families. Fuck. That. Noise. No honor in that or in YOU. Clearly.
To all the idiots calling him a murderer, he did not set out to kill those people - it was an accident. Do you think he doesn't have that in his head every day? It wont ever go away, it will always haunt him. If the shoe was on the other foot and it was you who was part of something that led to the accidental deaths of people, you'd think differently, and I can bet you that you wouldn't like the abusive comments that you clearly think it's right to fire about him aimed at you.
Uhh, this guy is either a moron or a complete dickwad. How anyone can think putting your main actor with two kids in a scene at night with a helicopter 25ft above them as fireballs explode around them and think it's safe is beyond common sense. That's gross negligence, and that's why he's a dick in my book. Anything for the epic shot, right? It's all fun and games until heads start flying.
Everyones judgement of Landis over the deaths of Vic Morrow & the two kids is abit harsh. Everyone makes mistakes, & unfortunately his & other crew members on Tzone's mistake cost three people their lives. It was tragic, but an accident all the same. Many people have made, & will make, errors that cost people their lives, it could happen to anyone, so leave the man alone. Landis seems like a nice guy & he will be haunted by that night for the rest of his life. He's no murderer.
He may not be solely responsible, but he does get the credit when he produces a masterpiece. Why is he too good to receive credit when he produces a disaster?
@tardwhisperer He's a movie maker, but still human, and not sadistic in nature. He felt the role Vic was playing was an admirable one, where his character redeemed his bigoted views to save the Children who had lost their parents... He swears to protect them, and that's the basis of the scene being filmed
"John Landis is a murderer! Waaahhhh!" Oh shut the fuck up, people. Murder implies that he meant to kill Vic Morrow and those two kids. You're just a bunch of self-righteous, judgmental pricks. Let any one of you be inadvertently involved in the death of someone and you'd be singing a different tune. It was a tragic accident, but an accident all the same. I'm pretty sure Landis didn't radio the helicopter pilot and say, "OK, now I want you to crash and take off their heads. Action!"
@donniedarkodevotte His negligence led to actor vic morrow having his head cut off; male child having his arm-shoulder and head cut off...and the little girl was IMPALED by the helicopter skid. The pilot Wingo and Landis should have been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.Whether it was intentional or not is not the issue.
For the love of Chirst leave Landis alone, The deaths of those kids And Vic Morrow were very tragic but it was an accident. Granted he is too Blame but he also shares the blame with everyone involved. Also The ending John Landis had planned didn't involve a helicopter or anything the studio execs wanted an ending that showed more character development and a happier ending. Instead of calling the guy a murderer check your facts first. Brandon lee died due to human error and no one got this mad.
If I ever have the chance to be in the same room with this guy I will so call him out for killing Vic Morrow and those two children. Even if it's with all stupid Landis fans who probably aren't even aware or defended him during that whole thing and security ejects me.
I really hope I get the chance and I film it and put it on here.
i dont understand how ppl can say this is a "comedy" at all! sure its got SOME humour but um its pretty DARK humour and its pretty gross too i mean this is dusturbing when jack gets mauled its scary as hell and seeing his dead boddy just UUGH
sorry bastard. always remembered for his recklessness on the set of the twighlight zone. he caused the deaths of two small children and actor vic morrow. landis you are a cocksucker.
The more I read on the Morrow case about Landis, the more I think of him as a scum fuck. I can see in this interview how confident and cocky he is about himself and probably the same attitude he carried during that set were Morrow was killed. I think this man needed to go to jail.
Landis and several crew members were subsequently charged with involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment. The prosecutors attempted to show that Landis was reckless and had violated laws relating to child actors by not telling parents and others of the children's proximity to explosives and helicopters and of limitations on their working hours. Numerous members of the film crew testified that the director was warned, but ignored these dangers.
John Landis has an EXTREMELY high opinion of himself and his work. American Werewolf isn't THAT fucking FUNNY. Get over yourself, Leonard Maltin!

John Landis reportedly stepped out of the darkness about the gruesome attacks on Vic Morrow and the children what he said in a 2011 interview,
"I lul'd when the blades hit them."
