I just about spat my coke onto my keyboard at this...

Apparently they were filming a scene for the new Transformer movie, when a copper on a real callout decided to take a short cut through the set. Hilarity ensues. I quite like the way they put a car cover over it to avoid any further paint damage.

You know how they say some movies are cursed? It seems that may just be the case for the folks working on Transformers 3. The movie has had its share of crashes, with a few of them being of the "unplanned" variety. The latest incident takes place in Washington D.C. and involves a certain yellow Camaro that Transformers fans know better as Bumblebee.

As a scene was being filmed, a real police vehicle was responding to a call and cut quickly across the set. The two cars collided and the police officer driving the SUV was taken to a nearby hospital, but it appears there are no serious injuries – except to the Camaro, which was covered up and taken away.

Earlier this year, production came to a screeching halt when Gabrielo Cedillo had to be rushed to the hospital. Cedillo, an extra, was driving a car when a cable from a camera vehicle broke loose, smashed through her windshield and hit her in the head. She underwent emergency surgery but her stint in the ICU is up, and her condition is improving.

That's a silly question.

Filming a movie shouldn't take priority over someone responding to an emergency. Was also a K9 unit, how did the dog do?
