DARK KNIGHT Avoids Hong Kong Harbor

Shouldn't bother a bat. They have rabies.

.....I am not sure what to add, that is sooo sad on so many levels... how do we let our own harbours get so polluted... wonder what the bat was doing in Hong Kong.

I think it is funny in like that retarded kid kind of way. Funnily tragic. It is sad, but what do you expect to happen when you reproduce like roaches and dump poo and pee in to the water? I guess we now know how to elude the bat.

Not much to say on that...Unrelated question I have...Anyone remember if Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee, respectively), in his final movie The Crow (considered to be the best of whatever Crow movies were made, after)...My question is...Was Brandon Lee murdered on the set of The Crow, or was it accidental? My friends say it was "plotted", a murder...I think it was accidental...Anyone remembers the truth behind that?

I think it was officially declared an accident. I don't know much about guns but I believe a blank was loaded in such a way that it created a live round which killed Lee. What got the conspiracy theorists going was that there was a scene from Bruce Lee's final film "Game of Death" that was errily similar to the situation involving Brandon's death.

Back on topic, it is really sad when a harbor is deemed too polluted to even be in for a few minutes. Maybe Al Gore should go to China and get them to clean up the harbor.

Piling on to jp to reinforce: Brandon's death was a tragic accident. There is no truth to a murder. People who need to find a conspiracy behind every tragedy need to seriously find something more valuable to do wtih their time.

It's too bad that harbors around the world are in that sort of condition. But can't they find a way around this. Even if they have to use that big tank they used for Seaworld or Perfect Storm.
I'm sick of people saying everything is a conspiracy. They need to stop watching The Matrix and trying to act like they're the smartest detectives in the world that see things no one else does. You're not that smart or important.

I don't understand why this would change the set up of the movie... seems like an alternate filming location would be perfectly acceptable.

Amen, wiseguy, on both counts!

On Brandon Lee's death:

On March 31, 1993, the film crew filmed a scene in which Lee's character walked into his apartment and discovered his girlfriend being raped by thugs. Actor Michael Massee, who played one of the film's villains, was supposed to fire a gun at Lee as he walked into his apartment with groceries.

Because the movie's second unit team were running behind schedule, it was decided that dummy cartridges (cartridges that outwardly appear to be functional, but contain no gunpowder) would be made from real cartridges. A cartridge with only a primer and a bullet was fired in the pistol prior to the scene. It caused a squib load, in which the primer provided enough force to push the bullet out of the cartridge and into the barrel of the revolver, where it became stuck.

The malfunction went unnoticed by the crew, and the same gun was used again later to shoot the death scene, having been re-loaded with blanks. However, the squib load was still lodged in the barrel, and was propelled by the blank cartridge's explosion out of the barrel and into Lee's body. Although the bullet was traveling much more slowly than a normally fired bullet would be, the bullet's large size and the nearly point-blank firing distance made it powerful enough to mortally wound Lee.

When the blank was fired, the bullet shot out and hit Lee in the abdomen. He fell down instantly and the director shouted "CUT!" but Lee did not respond. The cast and crew filming rushed to him and noticed he was wounded. He was immediately rushed to the hospital where the doctors tried to revive him for five hours. It was too late however and he was pronounced dead at 1.03pm.
