Yeah, I agree that's a terrible optic. But does anyone even know who killed Jason Lee? That was Bruce Lee's son and nobody made a fuss like this. People mourned it as a tragic accident and moved on.

Brandon Lee. The crew had butchered live cartridges to make dummy rounds, removing the gunpowder but not the primer. The gun was fired at some point and the bullet was pushed out of the cartridge and into the barrel. The gun was later reloaded with blanks for the scene, and the blank had enough force to propel the bullet out through the barrel and into Lee.

Well that's not true.

At the time there was a huge conspiracy theory he'd faked his own death.

But nobody wanted to prosecute Michael Massee.

Maybe because he did fake his own death.
