In the Philippines, a village watchman mistook an actor portraying a masked gunman for the real deal. The local lookout jumped onto his moving motorcycle and fatally shot the actor in what bystanders believed was just part of the filming. "As the director shouted 'Action!', actor Kirk Abella began to speed away on a motorcycle with a masked driver and the watchman feared he was going to escape… so he grabbed him by the shirt and shot him."
