 Almost immediately after filming the scene of Kristen Savage (qv),  Sean Fowler (qv), Matt Reardon (II) (qv), and  Timothy Norman (II) (qv) assembling in the warehouse to leave for  the first gunfight, the main cast and crew members there that night  were involved in a huge, horrific car accident that left Savage and  Ed Reed (IV) (qv) seriously injured. Everyone involved  miraculously survived, but the fate of the movie was uncertain for a  long time. After the accident Savage kept her hair short for years,  which required both the addition of moments to explain her  characters change of appearance and required that they disguise the  short hair in first act scenes shot later on.
