Stuntman Nikolai Vashchilin: Mikhail Boyarsky almost died on the set of Three Musketeers 
Russian stuntman Nikolai Vashchilin told how almost died during the filming of one of the battle scenes of the film “D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers.” The words of the stunt coordinator are quoted by URA.RU.
He recalled that the tragedy could have happened because of his colleague on the stage, Vladimir Balon, who played the role of the Guardsman Cardinal De Jussac.
“Fencer Vladimir Balon pierced Mishka Boyarsky, knocked out his tooth and almost killed him. The actors were, firstly, drunk, and secondly, the director made a mistake by building a stage on a marble staircase. Boyarsky ran from above, slipped and ran into a sword, “Vaschilin shared.
He added that due to the artists' addiction to alcohol, one of the shooting days had to be canceled. However, Vaschilin admitted that the actors performed all the tricks on their own: “After special training, they could be used as stuntmen. For this, the actors received a double rate. “
Earlier it became known that three members of the film crew were injured during the filming of the movie” The Expendables 4 “in Thessaloniki, one of them is in critical condition. Two technicians were injured, as well as British actor Jason Statham's stuntman.
