John Landis is an interesting one. I only recently found out about the Twilight Zone incident.

Accident and trial
On July 23, 1982, during the filming of Twilight Zone, actor Vic Morrow and child extras Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen were killed in an accident involving an out-of-control helicopter. The National Transportation Safety Board reported in October 1984:
“ The probable cause of the accident was the detonation of debris-laden high temperature special effects explosions too near a low flying helicopter leading to foreign object damage to one rotor blade and delamination due to heat to the other rotor blade, the separation of the helicopter's tail rotor assembly, and the uncontrolled descent of the helicopter. The proximity of the helicopter to the special effects explosions was due to the failure to establish direct communications and coordination between the pilot, who was in command of the helicopter operation, and the film director, who was in charge of the filming operation.[5] ”
Landis and several crew members were subsequently charged with involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment. The prosecutors attempted to show that Landis was reckless and had violated laws relating to child actors by not telling parents and others of the children's proximity to explosives and helicopters and of limitations on their working hours. Numerous members of the film crew testified that the director was warned, but ignored these dangers. After an extended jury trial, Landis, represented by criminal defense attorney Harland Braun, and other crew members were acquitted of the charges.[6]
Landis was later reprimanded for circumventing the State of California's child labor laws in hiring the two children killed in the accident. This tragedy resulted in stricter safety measures and enforcement of child labor laws, in the State of California.[6] The parents of the children sued, and would later settle out of court with the studio for $2 million per family. Morrow's children, one of them being actress Jennifer Jason Leigh, who was 20 at the time, also settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.
Despite these settlements, Landis has never publicly accepted responsibility for the accident. During an interview with Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, Landis said:
“ When you read about the accident, they say we were blowing up huts—which we weren't—and that debris hit the tail rotor of the helicopter—which it didn't. (...) The FBI Crime Lab, who was working for the prosecution, finally figured out that tail rotor delaminated, which is why the pilot lost control. The Special FX man who made the mistake, by setting off a fireball at the wrong time, was never charged.[2]

How no one went to jail over this shyt I'll never know. God damn.

There's even footage of them getting decapitated on youtube.

Speaking of directors, Tony Kaye who directed American History X was blackballed after a disputite with the studio and Ed Norton over the edit, which from reports Norton strong armed. He's done a couple of small films recently but he was definitely blacklisted for a while.

He was still first billed in blackhawk breh, over Bana, Sizemore, Mcgregor etc Obviously his part was not that small then.

All those movies were in the theater atleast breh. Homies was on the comeup, he had the "typical white guy on the rise" movie CV. Started off in the Halloween H20 flick, then starred in a comedy "40 days/Nights" , then "The faculty" cult hit, "Black Dahlia" ,"Hollywood Homicide" ,etc.....only way was up for the dude. Then all of a sudden he's doing indie "let me find myself in the world" movies something happened with him. Maybe it was his choice to do those types of movies but to me it always felt like he was muscled/shunned out of being in the limelight.
