10 Movies Where People Died On Set

10. Rambo: First Blood Part II

The film series that follows John Rambo has seen an almost unprecedented level of violence, death and devastation throughout its many entries. The 1985 sequel. Rambo: First Blood Part II, saw 75 on-screen kills by the leading man - a total that was soon increased to 115 in Rambo III and 254 in Rambo IV.

Portrayed by Sylvester Stallone, Rambo is a Vietnam veteran created by David Morrell in his 1972 novel First Blood. The book was met with the same complaints that the film series would soon echo with gratuitous violence and accusations of revelling in the carnage.

While First Blood Part II may have started the trend of ever-increasing death on screen - Rambo only kills a single man in the original film - it was also the location of an accident that resulted in the death of a special effects worker.

Clifford P Wenger Jr. was 34 years old when he got caught up in one of the planned explosions during filming and ended up losing his life. Some reports state that the explosion went off early while others cite that he fell down a waterfall where he was performing a stunt.

Either way, a tragic loss of life.
