If it was a close enough shots (under 10 feet), I can see how more than one person could possibly be injured by the same misfire. A blank is, at the end of the day, pretty much a regular bullet without the actual bullet part inside it. People say CGI, and not only do you have to compensate for muzzle flash and surrounding effects, but the hold and weight of a gun without bullets is different, and the obvious lack of recoil when "firing" it.

Still waiting for new news bits to go widespread so they're definitely the case but word is that the US union guild for prop masters have issued a statement saying the film production was using non-union New Mexico prop masters and that the gun wasn't faulty, it had been loaded by the prop masters with a live round.

A search warrant has been issued that confirms that the prop gun contained a live round and that Baldwin was assured the weapon was safe to use by the Assistant Director who was also unaware of the live round in the gun. The director was injured via the bullet passing through Hutchins.

Dean Stockwell Dies: ‘Quantum Leap’ Star Was 85
"Former Quantum Leap star Dean Stockwell, an Oscar- and Emmy-nominated actor whose career on stage, in film and TV spanned more than 70 years, passed away in the early morning of November 7. He died peacefully at home of natural causes, a rep for the family confirmed to Deadline. He was 85."
I've caught him in loads of things over the years and he was always a good actor. Battlestar Galactica, Beverly Hills Cop II, Paris, Texas and Dune.
However, he'll always be Al from Quantum Leap for me.
He's one of those characters that was portrayed so brilliantly that you feel like he's a friend and when I saw him pop up in those other films, it was like seeing them again after a while.
The character arc for Al was brilliant and I loved how it was finally resolved in the final episode.Last edited by QualityChimp; 09-11-2021, 07:26.
