The Actor who accidentally broke his leg...


Ouch!! Anyone catch that scene? I happened to pause it right when it happened, & after a second glance noticed how awful that guy broke his leg... When Serpico & the other cop are trying to catch the guy (Woodie King) who was running from them in the red outfit, the actor slips on the sidewalk, & you see his left leg snap from the knee down. It turns completely backwards on him & then as the actor tries to get up you see his foot unnaturally flop over to the side dead... Then he limps off camera.

Definitely one of the grossest accidents I’ve seen that was left in the final cut of a film.
