There are several actors there who are good at playing bad, but Kurt Russell brings it to a new new level because he is actually one. Russell originally got into acting because it was a way for him to meet famous baseball players while chasing his sports dreams, but After a brutal injury he killed his baseball careerHe entered him full -time. He has been acting for decades and acting in several western, becoming so skilled driver of horses that ever Kidnapped horse from the "tombstone" set For joy through the hills in Arizona, and he has collected many other skills during his long and diverse career. So when director Quentin Tarantino wanted him to make a dangerous riding in the Greenhaus cinema, "Proof of Death", Russell was a game.

"Death evidence" has one of the biggest car chase in cinema history, made at full speed with the trick actor and contractor Zoe Bell, hanging on the hood of one of the cars, so some major risks were clearly taken. Unfortunately, it sounds like Tarantino put Russell in serious danger without warning, part of the disturbing scheme for the director. In an interview with GqWhere Russell crashed his most iconic characters, the actor revealed that he had almost met his death on "death evidence", and it was because of something that was complete avoidance.

In the interview, Russell explains that when Tarantino approached him to act And make a real driving trick for "proof of death", he was fine with it since he was driving since childhood. "As a kid, I won the world championship in a race car," he said. "I can do everything you want in the car." Then, one day, he received a terrible fear when someone did not check and closed the entrances to the road they were filming, giving Russell everything clearly driving in the entrance lane when he was not safe to do so. Russell's instincts and the rapid reaction time saved him from serious injury or death, but that was a close call, as he explained:

"We go down on the road and I don't know what happened, I can't remember what happened. I either saw something or felt something, boom. I just, boy man, I just slammed the brakes and came in, Guy goes about 50 miles per hour in the other way I was.

Russell was playing pretty noun, but it had to be frightening to almost a head clash while you thought you were driving a closed, secure road. That kind of accident would not only be over in his career, but a potential complement to life, and that kind of security with safety should never happen in a set. Errors happen, but when you do stunts as dangerous as those in "evidence of death", Additional care should be taken, and Tarantino has a pretty bad performance with the safety of the actors.

Over the years there have been some pretty infamous accidents on Tarantino sets that accidentally move from Russell Destroying the priceless artifact of the "Hated Eight" set Leonardo DiCaprio cuts his hand opened during a passionate speech in "Angoango Neincani", but the one who stands out is a serious injury to Uma Thurman on the "Kill Bill" set, which the actor revealed on Newoux Times In 2018. Tarantino did not want to use a trick for sequence with the image of Thurman behind the wheel, and he Instead of cruel forced her to make a trick Despite her fears not to be trained for such driving. In the end, the car slipped out of the dirt, and she hit a tree, leaving it with a neck injury and a concussion. Although Tarantino will continue to Say the accident He was "one of the greatest regret" of his life, it is absolutely disturbing that another actor was almost seriously injured or killed on his watch, especially since it happened just years after "Kill Bill!"

Regardless of where you stand on Tarantino's film, this type of work is inexhaustible. The actors do work, and workers deserve to be safe at work. One is very conscious to become in danger or DiCaprio being slightly saturated with hand breaking against the table and something completely different to put the lives of the actors on the line. Thanks to goodness and Thurman and Russell have survived to tell their stories, but it is really unfortunate footnote for Tarantino's career.
