On March 31, 1993 Brandon Lee was shooting one of the last gun scenes in the movie. All of the major gun scenes had been shot and the gun techs had been sent home. It was a simple scene. Eric Draven comes home to find his girlfriend being raped. When Eric arrives he is stabbed and then shot making him fall 6 stories to his death. It seemed simple but something went horribly wrong. It looked perfect. Brandon fell as he was suppose to but when the director yelled, "Cut" Brandon did not get up. Brandon was rushed to the nearest hospital. Apparently the head of a bullet was jammed in the barrel of the gun. When the blank bullet was fired so was the head. It shot with such force it would have been considered a true bullet. It shot straight into Brandon's abdomen. After 12 hours of surgery Brandon Lee died at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilminton, North Carolina. The seen was cut from the final movie and the film of that scene disappeared.
