16 zombies injured on Resident Evil: Retribution film set photo

A wheeled platform fell on the set of "Resident Evil: Retribution," the fifth film based on the popular Capcom game franchise. On that platform were 16 actors dressed as zombies. While injuries are no joking matter, I'm sure they looked worse than they actually were with the zombie makeup. According to AP, Toronto emergency medical spokesman Peter Macintyre said the victims' costumes made it more difficult for crews to assess the severity of their injuries. 

"I could see the look on the first paramedic, saying 'Oh my God,'" Toronto emergency medical services Commander David Ralph said.

Twelve of the zombies went to the hospital with leg and back injuries. I'm sure they also freaked out hospital staff.

Lovely leading lady Milla Jovovich was not injured.

funny, the same thing happened in last week's episode of grey's anatomy where they had trouble assessing the injures of patients coming from a cosplay convention, and there was a zombie....not that I watch the show or anything *shifty eyes*

You know that these makeup people are doing a good job when even medical professionals are getting fooled.

I wonder if the hospital has doors activated by voice recordings and hidden painting safes with half of a vaccine.

At least the injured can take solace in being part of THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE. They are doing God's work.

These zomies should be in better movies. Must be hard for zombies to find work nowadays.

Times are tough.

Bah! Makes the shambling all the more belieavable! It's realistic! Hollywood is ran by a bunch of wimps. Now the Hollywood back when it was starting, that's some manly shite right there. Stage hands drowning and dying and stuff. And media cover ups too! Far more bad ass. People are just a bunch of wimps in Hollywood these days!

But in all seriousness, does kinda suck they got injured. I hope the costumes were realistic enough to scare some nurses into thinking it was a horrible horrible mangling accident. That would just be hilarious.

zombie apocalypse- averted.
I wish the whole production crew had been crushed, we wouldn't have to put up with yet another Slow-mo laced bullshit festival starring Butterface Jovovich as Neo...

It's a sign not to do another movie. Once people playing zombies get hurt that's when you know it's impossible to bring the series back from the dead. (see what I did there, oh sometimes I believe I'm more of a fool than the Jackass guys)

Why would there be zombies on a wheeled platform? I swear these movies are becoming more and more unbelievable.

Leave it to Canadian doctors to be confused by people decked out as zombies...

Doctor:"Oh my god! Where does it hurt?! That laceration on your face must be extremely painful!! "

Actor:"Oh no... actually I tweaked my back a little and I might have sprained my ankle. My face is covered..."

Doctor:"With cuts and bruises, I know! You must have internal injuries as well because there is alot of blood around your mouth! Nurse, get the stapler! WE NEED MORE BANDAIDS!!!"

Actor:*sigh*

I love canadians. =D
