The Hangover was such an impacting comedy that a sequel has to push those limits even more to try and top it. But have they pushed too hard trying to bring us amazing visuals? Turns out a stuntman involved in a car accident stunt has been seriously injured and is currently in a coma.
Scott McLean, was hospitalized following an accident on the film’s set in Thailand. He suffered injuries during a stunt involving two cars crashing into each other at high speed in Bangkok.
As much as I have sympathy for this man and his family for this unfortunate event, I can’t help but think that stunt would be pretty badass if it put the guy in a coma.
So now I am emotionally conflicted on the verge of cursing these film makers for involving a stunt so dangerous, but I have to assume that all the precautions were taken to keep him safe and something went wrong that resulted in his injury.
It sucks that McLean was injured, but this has to be in the back of the mind of every stuntman in Hollywood. Sooner or later you are going to get hurt.
