Nobody really knows what's going on inside Wesley Snipes' head, and I don't think anybody wants to, either. Still, whatever happened on the set of Blade: Trinity lead to what has to be one of the most bizarre stories ever told.

As far as anybody knows, then, the facts are as follows: whilst shooting, Snipes (who you must imagine is insane or the story makes no sense) spotted a black extra wearing a T-shirt with the word "garbage" written on it. To which, for reasons unexplainable to anyone other than the creature that lives inside Wesley Snipes' head, Snipes accused director David Goyer of being a "racist motherf*cker".

It didn't end there: once again provoked by the fact that he's Wesley Snipes and must act accordingly, the actor attempted to strangle Goyer, who suggested he quit because he spent most of his time in his trailer smoking weed all the live long day. Awesome.
