Game of Death (1978)īruce Lee was filming Game of Death at the time of his death in 1973. His face is not shown in the rest of the sequence. Such a trick led to the frightening possibility of dead actors one day “starring” in new movies. The scene which Lee was filming at the time of his death was also the same one in which his character, Eric Draven, “dies.” A body double was used through most of the scene, and the part where Draven is falling to his death actually has his face superimposed over another actor’s body.
However, the problem is that Lee was only mostly finished with his scenes. He was supposed to get shot with a gun loaded with blanks, but there was a fragment of a prop bullet in the gun’s barrel, which pierced Lee’s side and fatally wounded him. The Crow (1994)īrandon Lee’s work on The Crow was mostly finished when the fatal accident occurred which resulted in his death. Reportedly, Rodriguez is still touched to this day that the script was in Julia’s hospital room right till the end. At the very last minute, Rodriguez had to replace the role of primary bad guy Bucho with Joachim De Almeida. On the day that Julia died, shooting on Desperado started. Julia suffered an unexpected stroke while in the hospital, from which he never recovered.
As a matter of fact, he had even brought the script for Desperado with him to the hospital. Julia’s next movie was to be the Robert Rodriguez film Desperado. In October of that year, Julia was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital with stomach and abdominal pains. Julia had dealt with a food poisoning issue in early 1994.
Raul Julia was a respected character actor perhaps best known for his interpretation of Gomez Addams in the Addams Family movies.
