Yeah, I was thinking of Brandon Lee, but also In Burgess, though that one was a part of the movie rather than a filming accident. It's a great movie and that scene is my favourite in the movie.
Tap for spoiler
A couple set up the MC with a seduce, bring him back to her room where the other guy steps out with a gun to rob him scheme. Only the MC takes the gun from the guy, who is scared for a second until he remembers it was only loaded with blanks and charges the MC, thinking blanks == harmless, but then gets a blank pretty much point blank to the face and gets blinded.That scene taught me that even blanks shouldn't be fucked with like toys.
Funny story, I have that on dvd somehow, but have never watched it lol.
Yeah a point blank blank (lol) can definitely cause serious problems, but a few feet back and it's "safer" (though really you should still have eye protection, and it's still not something I'd do without a multimillion dollar movie contract, of course. Don't try that at home lol) but they're safe enough for movies assuming no live rounds on set and no "brandon lee accidents", but yeah still not "toys," it's like working with power tools, you can hurt yourself or others being dumb so don't.
