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.

Times are tough.
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.
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...
@devilot: YES
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
