theoldlady 2,303 Posted August 28, 2017 JFK's and his brother Bobby's assassinations changed the course of American history in the 1960s. Perhaps for Brits it is the death, perhaps assassination, of Princess Diana that shocked the most? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,050 Posted August 28, 2017 I'd say based on the OP, Saddam Hussein. Nasty end, dictator essential to keeping the peace in a violent state, his death I'd say resulted in the resurgence of religious terrorism - a martyr created by the West - and of course that has changed the world as we know it.

Sort of, his character was trying to save the kids from being blown up by a helicopter. One of the pyrotechnics hit the helicopter causing it to fall on vic and the two kids while they were in the water. Vic Morrow died before he could react.

Ive actually seen the footage, its out there. He does, indeed, die a hero, when it all starts going wrong he picks up the child and tries to run through the water with them. Unfortunately, the helicopters blade hits them as it falls into the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted August 28, 2017 Just to reiterate, Jon Landis killed beloved character actor Vic Morrow and two Asian children. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
