Johnny Depp gets trampled by horse

SINGAPORE — Ouch!

A new 2-minute promo for The Lone Ranger shows Johnny Depp being trampled by his horse after he falls off the animal in an accident while filming the scene.

Luckily, the actor was not seriously hurt, and reportedly sustained only a bruise on his stomach.

“I would say that the positive thing is, my coccyx didn’t take it,” said Depp to director Gore Verbinski in the featurette (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5qeI-nJVVI), post-accident.

The 50-year-old actor had previously called the film, which opens in Singapore on July 4, “the most dangerous movie [he’s] ever done”.

We look back at five other incidents where the actors were, unfortunately, not so fortunate.

***

VIC MORROW + 2 CHILD ACTORS. A helicopter spun out of control during the filming of one scene in the 1983 movie The Twilight Zone, decapitating actor Vic Morrow and killing two child actors.

BRANDON LEE. The 28-year-old son of martial arts star Bruce Lee was shot and killed on the set of The Crow in 1993. The actor was hit by a bullet from a gun that was supposed to have blanks, but was improperly loaded.

JOHNNY KNOXVILLE. The daredevil was seriously injured trying to do a back-flip on a motorcycle for Nitro Circus in 2008. His motorcycle’s handlebars hit him in the crotch, leaving him with a torn urethra. Since the accident, he’s reportedly had to use a catheter twice a day.

JACKIE CHAN. He’s had so many accidents on set, he’s even got a YouTube video dedicated to them — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA1ZwbXHGyA. More notably, Jackie Chan suffered serious burns and was almost paralysed during the filming of the well-known pole-sliding scene in 1985 film Police Story.

HILARY SWANK. Well technically, she wasn’t seriously injured here, but this accident’s still pretty horrifying to us. Gerard Butler’s suspender strap suddenly snapped during what’s supposed to be a funny strip scene in 2007’s P S I Love You, hitting his co-star on the forehead. The poor actress reportedly needed stitches for her cut.
