Here's a link to a blog post about things that went wrong on the set of Black Dog, with some behind the scenes pictures and lots of links.

I think the movie stunk on ice, but a lot of people apparently LOVE it! (And I *love* the Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run films, btw)

give me a break. how can anyone believe this kind of stuff. it's dumb. "oh no something bad happened it has to be curse." give me a break.
shareNot buying it as curse. What we've got is a few accidents on a movie that featured explosives & lots of big rigs and cars doing stunts. That stuff is dangerous and accidents do happen. Beyond that we've got a local redneck citizen who thought the blocked street was a road block and tried to run. He was probably drunk and figured if he stopped at it he'd be arrested for DUI, some drunk driver trying to outrun the DUI squad isn't exactly news either. Oh and Kevin Hook's Career. The majority of his directing career has been TV movies and TV series, that was before during and after the 10 year period in which he directed 4 feature films. These days it's pretty common to see directors alternate between film and TV, it doesn't hold that stigma that it once did and there's lots of reasons that one might choose to stay in TV. Perhaps he'd regularly have more steady work to be closer to LA for family reasons. Perhaps he finds an episode of 24 less stressful than a feature film where you have $50 million on the line and all of the studio politics that entails. Whatever the reason I like his work on "24" & "Prison Break."
shareOh definitely! LOL And besides, it's pretty apparent that the "curse" angle of that article was meant to be humorous, except for the parts where the people actually got hurt :(

"I've seen things in this city that make Dante's Inferno read like Winnie The Pooh."
Did you know that Dante dropped dead about a minute and a half after he finished the Divine Comedy?

That's funny.
shareIf you ask me it was more eerie than funny. . . (F Minor.. a tad off key)
YEAH, BUT THEY BREAK WHEN YA FALL ON'EM
You missed the point, but never mind. Your information smacks of legend; he died of the malaria he contracted in Venice whilst on his return to Ravenna, and malaria doesn't strike like a bolt of lighting, whatever his enemies may have wished.
shareOh no, I can't allow that to stand. I always reply when I'm being condescended to. I must admit I am attracted to legends, myths and eerie half-truths. Mostly because they're always much more imaginative and romantic than the actual truth BUT alas... thar always seems to be one of them thar akeedemic big brains aroun' to show me up with his coleege egiecation. Bet you got awe yer teefers too, Ain't ye? Ya ever tasted a Moon Pie? Ya ever made washpot pork cracklins? Y'unt sum?
YEAH, BUT THEY BREAK WHEN YA FALL ON'EM ~~ HANK SR.
Say what? Where the hell did that come from? And in what fashion do you imagine I was treating you with condescension? Christ on a bicycle, paranoid much?

Of course I read all your post - I'm not American and I do have an attention span longer than sixty seconds. Satire on the 'net usually works just fine for me, but you have to amplify statements. As much as I hate them, it's why smileys are there.
And don't bring your imaginary friend into this. You believe? Fine. But don't expect me to join you or to treat imaginary entities with respect or disrespect. In the circumstances it's hardly surprising that you are attracted to "legends, myths and eerie half-truths".

What happened to the cornpone down-home folksiness, huh? Serves you right. I make a little appreciative comment about your post and you wheel out your big ol' cross and hide behind it? Screw you. And don't feel you have to waste any more time on a godless critter like me.
shareCurses don't exist, just like magic, fairies, dragons, jesus and god don't.
