The Sun is reporting First Robert Downey Jr was knocked out by a 7ft wrestler. Then he and Jude Law who plays his sidekick Dr Watson — had to flee the set with Ritchie when a petrol tanker exploded in a fireball. Robert, was knocked unconscious by co-star Robert Maillet during a fight scene. He was “out cold” for six seconds and “drooling blood” before medics could bring him round.
A nurse on set at Chatham dockyard in Kent gave him six stitches in his mouth. A source said: “Robert was accidentally caught on the chin by a thundering hook. He went flying and was out cold. “He didn’t want to go to hospital and kept trying to get up. He’s a trooper. But there have been lots of other problems too.”
Yesterday’s drama came as the loaded tanker burst into flames during a delivery to the set — forcing it to close for two hours. Rumors on the set are the movie may be "Cursed". Know who would want to curse Guy Ritchie’s movie. Hmmm let me think about that…. ;-)
