'Red Cliff' and Bond: Safety first on set -- or last?

Los Angeles Times: "'Red Cliff' isn't the only would-be blockbuster beset by accidents and tragedy. Two stuntmen were burned while making the Adam Sandler comedy 'You Don't Mess With the Zohan.' Visual effects technician Conway Wickliffe was killed while prepping the Batmobile for the upcoming 'The Dark Knight.' According to a production source, Wickliffe and a colleague were videotaping the Batmobile as it spun around a racetrack to see if it was properly rigged to do stunts. Wickliffe was hanging out the window with the video recorder when the driver accidentally careened into a tree. The police investigated and found no wrongdoing."
