What kind of twisted fcks do people think the original actors were? The supposed hanging scene is right in front of them are we assuming that nobody on set or the actors thought it wasn't important that someone hanged themselves?

The rest of the movie is pretty messed up so...

Consider the chicken scene in Willy Wonka.

Someone commited suicide on the set? Not that is freaky. And to think, for the last 46 years I never even knew this happened. :eek:

The Wizard of Oz has nothing to do with Disney. Are you referring to some other incident?

Also, the Wizard of Oz "suicide" never happened.

Oops, I meant Warner Brothers. And yeah, after some research it appears the story is true. Watch the 1986 VHS release on Youtube. Clear as a bell.

Case closed. :colbert:

"Wait, he did it WHEN? Look to see if we got it on film. We did? Damn. Well...hell, flying monkeys are scary, right? Just release it."

Come ON, people.

Why is this thread still open?

What, a 13 year old conversation about a dead Munchkin does not interest you? Until I saw this I had no idea this had occurred.

Watch the river boat scene.


Ohhhh. My eye can only catch so much of that. LOL I'll check it out again if I find it on YouTube. I don't own the film.

Edit- Okay, I seen it. Not a big deal. I seen that when I was a kid growing up in North Dakota. And I ate good that night too! :p LOL I used to run in and grab 'em. Now a days I'm too much of a damn city slicker and the smell, oh the smell of burning feathers makes me sick anymore. Just so you know. You burn the remainder of the feathers off after it's plucked. At least that's what my grandparents did.
