Landis should have beeb shot for what he did! He has no remorse whatsoever

I know somebody who used to work in Hollywood. They've said that John Landis is a major dick.

watching that video leads me to think that Vic Morrow was trying to protect those kids any way he could, he could've dropped them and saved himself, but he hung on to them, I believe he died the true hero he was

i dont even think he saw it coming, really landed quick and there was nothing he could do, sucks too bad they didnt have cgi back then would have been avoided

The rotors cut them into pieces at 1:01, it seems like to me. Horrible. What a sad end for Mr. Morrow and the kids.

You ever SEEN TZ: The Movie? They used earlier footage of Morrow for the film, and there's very little Vietnam stuff.
