    Actor Says He Nearly Beheaded Tom Cruise

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp.../people_sanada


    TAIPEI, Taiwan - Actor Hiroyuki Sanada said he came about half an inch from chopping off Tom Cruise (news)'s head with a sword while filming a fight scene for "The Last Samurai."

    Sanada, who plays a samurai in the movie, said he was swinging a real sword when Cruise's mechanical horse malfunctioned and didn't fall down as planned.

    "Tom's neck was right in front of me, and I tried to stop swinging my sword but it was hard to control with one hand," Sanada said.

    When he finally stopped the sword, the blade was a mere half-inch from Cruise's neck, Sanada told reporters Thursday through a translator while promoting the film in Taipei.

    "The film crew watching from the side all screamed because they thought Tom's head would fly off," said Sanada, using his hand to make a chopping motion to his neck.

    He didn't say where or when the close call took place.

    In "The Last Samurai," Cruise plays a Civil War veteran recruited to go to Japan to train soldiers to fight samurai, warriors who protected their feudal lords.

    I think it would be interesting to have had his head get chopped off, just to see the inevitable media frenzy.
    Are you a Mexi-CAN or a Mexi-CAN'T?

    You mean 'outtakes'. Take outs is what I had on Friday evening... no wait, I had SPAM on Friday evening...

    And you think The Big Cruiser would EVER let anyone (even major studios) release footages of him pissing himself?

    I think he would... he seems to be a fairly humble guy, and you know it would get a big laugh.
