Movie Stunt Leads To Real-Life Deadly Game (1993)

That's A CrimeEpisode 45: Movie Stunt Leads To Real-Life Deadly Game (1993)Jason Connell and Sal Rodriguez break down the true crime story of the Movie Stunt Leads To Real-Life Deadly Game in 1993. The original version of the Disney movie, The Program, contained a scene where several football players lay on a busy local road as a test of their courage. Soon after the film's release on September 24, 1993, several real-life teenagers began copying the stunt, which in itself is a crime, Obstruction Of Traffic. The results of those mimicking the scene were tragic and included 18-year-old Michael Shingledecker, of Polk, PA who was killed almost instantly when he and a friend were struck by a pickup truck. His friend, 17-year-old Dean Bartlett was critically injured. In another case, 17-year-old Michael Macias, of Syosset, N.Y., was put in intensive care after being hit by a car. Buena Vista & Touchstone Pictures, divisions of Walt Disney Studios, were not liable but did remove the scene from the movie.Recorded: 01-25-23Studio: Just Curious Mediahttps://www.JustCuriousMedia.com/Listen: https://ThatsACrime.buzzsprout.com/Watch:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbw014MVA3wQM8INVVe0Obw/Follow:https://www.facebook.com/ThatsACrimePodcast/https://www.instagram.com/ThatsACrimePodcast/Hosts:https://www.instagram.com/MrJasonConnell/https://www.instagram.com/SalvadorLosAngeles/#justcuriousmedia #thatsacrime #mrjasonconnell #salvadorlosangeles #truecrime #misdemeanor #murder #mystery #suspense #thriller #horror #criminal #serialkiller #thief #suspect #victim #guilty #jail #prison #moviestunt #deadlygame #theprogrammovieSend a textSupport the show
