I had a feeling when I read about this years ago that there was pervasive negligence from the top to bottom and that this happened due to them running a cheap barebones operation :patrice: and I still have that viewpoint. This girl is 26. In 2021, she would’ve been 23. Why is a 23 year old girl the sole person in charge of managing the guns on set?

She loaded live rounds into a gun on a movie set.

I don't care how much gun safety you have. Telling an actor he is shooting blanks, and giving him live rounds will lead to a brandon lee situation. At some point they are going to have to point and shoot those guns at wherever the scene dictates them too.

The reason the person who filmed this classic scene didn't die, is because they didn't put live rounds into his gun. period. not because the actor

I get all that but a 23 year old shouldn’t have been in charge.

true but she shouldn't have been hired in the first place. the party who hired her is going to have to hold some of all that too.
Depends on what she put on her resume. Apparently her father is well known armorer who did movies like Tombstone and 3;10 to Yuma. If she claimed have apprenticed under him, i don't see why they should be blame for negligence in hiring her. However if they just hired her as a favor to her daddy, then yeah. the nepotism cost a life and they should be held accountable for that.

Apparently she was. I knew something was off.
