Speculatively overheard on the set of Green Hornet:
Crewman: Sir, we think there is a Bomb on the set.
Security: The movie’s a Bomb? How do you know? Its not even done yet!
Crewman: No sir, a bomb. A real bomb.
the LAPD bomb squad had to be called to investigate a mysterious bomb-like object that the crew found around the set. LAPD rushed onsite and used a remote-controlled robot to blow up the unidentified metal object, which later turned out to NOT be a bomb.
That must be one of the hardest calls to make on a set if you think someone is trying to maliciously attack people. How does security decide that this could be a legitimate bomb threat?
Yes, we checked the prop inventory and there were no “bombs” on it. 6 dozen fake firearms, 18 rubber hand grenades, a gallon of harmless flash powder.. but no bombs. So that ticking box over there that no one seems to know where it came from? Could be a real bomb. Make the call.
It seems that Green Hornet is doomed from the start, and sadly hearing that there was a bomb threat on set is not a surprise anymore. I think they have scheduled a tornado for next week’s interuption.
My only hope is that the film turns out awesome and all of these setbacks and hiccups end up as a DVD feature.
And of course this is where all the clever commenters already predisposed against this film make bomb puns:
