@Harrison Ford Explains His Horrific Accident On The Set of The Force Awakens in June 2014
December last year, Johnathan Ross had film star Harrison Ford, on his chat show. This clip shows Ford explaining the accident on the set of Star Wars : The Force Awakens involving the Millennium Falcon, which ended up with him in hospital. Today's news on that matter : Harrison Ford could have been killed when he was crushed by a hydraulic door on the set of the Millennium Falcon spaceship while filming the most recent Star Wars film, a court has heard. Ford was reprising his role as Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in June 2014 when he was knocked to the ground and crushed beneath the heavy door of the Millennium Falcon while filming at Pinewood Studios in London. The company responsible, Foodles Production, pleaded guilty to two breaches under health and safety legislation. The 71-year-old actor sustained severe injuries from the accident, including a broken left leg, after he walked on to the set not believing it to be live. Ford had walked onto the set believing it not to be live, but Milton Keynes magistrates court heard how the door was operated by another person as the Han Solo actor passed underneath it, crushing him below what a health and safety executive compared to the weight of a small car. Andrew Marshal, prosecuting, described Foodles Production’s breaches as causing “risk of death It could have killed somebody. The fact that it didn’t was because an emergency stop was activated.” Speaking at the time, Ford said in an interview with Jonathan Ross: “We had a big budget this time. In the original film, the door – if there had been a door – would have been closed with a pulley and a stage hand just closing it. Now we had lots of money and technology and so they built a fucking great hydraulic door which closed at light speed and somebody said, 'Ooh I wonder what this is?' And the door came down and hit me on my left hip because I was turned to my right. And then it flung my left leg up and it dislocated my ankle, and as it drove me down to the floor, my legs slapped on the ramp up to the Millennium Falcon and broke both bones in my left leg.” Asked by Ross whether he has found out which crew member caused his injuries, Ford replied: “I don’t know and I don't want to know.” Ford recovered from the injuries in time to complete his portrayal of Han Solo in the film, which was set 30 years after the events in 1983’s Return of the Jedi and directed to much critical acclaim by JJ Abrams. It was the most successful film ever at the UK box office and has taken more than $2bn (£1.5bn) worldwide. Abrams later spoke about how much Ford’s injury had “bonded” the crew on set and said when the actor had returned he was “better and stronger than ever, I can’t overstate that. There was a fire in his eyes that you see in the movie.” Production of Star Wars: Episode VIII has got under way at Pinewood and the film is due for release in December 2017.
