Stuntman on 'Hangover 2' Shoot Lands in Coma Following Set Accident

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 27th 2010 08:01AM

A serious accident has reportedly landed a stuntman on the set of 'The Hangover 2' in a coma. The Daily Telegraph reports that stunt driver Scott McLean, who in 2007 described himself as close to Australia's top 10 stunt drivers, was involved in an accident on Dec. 17.

The Telegraph says two cars traveling at high speeds crashed into each other in Bangkok as part of the stunt, leaving McLean with serious injuries.

'The Hangover 2' shoot has had its share of controversies. The sequel to the 2009 comedy smash was in the headlines after Mel Gibson was cast for a cameo role as a tattoo artist.

But the cast was rumored to be furious with the casting stunt and Gibson never got in front of the camera and was replaced by Liam Neeson.

Gibson was said to be furious, with an insider saying, "He doesn't understand why Mike Tyson, a drug user [and convicted rapist, as EW.com points out] who turned his life around, was given a chance while Mel was kicked to the curb. Everybody deserves a second chance."

'The Hangover' sequel is set for release on May 26, 2011. It has a big act to follow. The original 'Hangover' grossed over $277 million domestically.

OH N2 SHUT THE HECK UP. DO YOU KNOW MEL GIBSON, EVERYONE HAS THEIR MOMENTS AND LOSES IT. SO UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY MEET HIM SHUT UP.

N2 you can only speak for yourself and nobody else in the entire world. I don't mind watching Gibson. Did he screw up? Damn right he did. In fact he did it more than once. If he thinks he can turn his life around and be a responsible person I'm willing to let him try. Michael Vicks did it.

I thought Gibson wasn't even in this film anymore?

By dstack9781

gibson has probably been too drunk to notice that not only has he gotten a second chance, he's gotten thirds and fourths!

Fools and foolishness.

It is so much better living for Jesus.

As the song writer put it; "The way of the cross leads home, the way of the cross leads home. It is sweet to know, as I onward go, the way of the cross leads home."

Stuntmen, like writers are basically exploited and used. The actors get all the applause and attention while these guinea pigs create the stories and risk their lives.

The guy with the beard in The Hangover is not in the least bit funny. Why did he have to be in the second one?

I didn't think the first one was all that great. Kinda stupid for the most part. Don't think I'll be watching the second one.

Another BIG Money Loosing Movie I'll forget to go see!! "EVER!!"

Maybe I'll go see a "Roman Polanski" Movie instead, of this one!? If that's "OK?" with the NAZI HATERS!? He who has not sinned may cast the first stone or get the HELL out of town!!!

By joe

By Tom

I can give you 277 million reasons why, thats the only reason ..another way for them to make a huge payday

By Brian

Who in the hell would want to be in Hangover 2?

By Alex Saraceno

Wasn't this article about the Stunt Man!!!? Shame on the writer of this article for right away shifting to Mel Gibson cause he's a profile actor. THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT THE STUNT MAN WHO NAME IS SCOTT MCLEAN !!! NOT MEL GIBSON. The writer of this article is a douchebag ! Such disrespect. So guys...keep it about the Scott.
