In 1990, three stuntmen were injured on the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret of the Ooze. Turtle characters Donatello, Michelangelo, and Leonardo were suspended over a junkyard in a net. The steel cable holding the net snapped and the stuntmen fell six feet onto the sand-covered stage at then Carolco Film Studios. Steven Ho, who plays Donatello, suffered a broken ankle that required surgery and a cast. In a bizarre coincidence, actor Ernie Rayes, who played Keno, hurt his back during a fight scene on another stage and was taken to Cape Fear Memorial Hospital at the same the turtle stuntmen were being seen.
