I am moving the following uncited material here until it can be properly supported with inline citations of reliable, secondary sources, per WP:V, WP:CS, WP:IRS, WP:PSTS, WP:BLP, WP:NOR, et al. This diff shows where it was in the article. Nightscream (talk) 19:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
However, they unknowingly left the live primer in place at the rear of the cartridge. At some point during filming, the revolver was apparently discharged with one of these improperly-deactivated cartridges in the chamber, setting off the primer with enough force to drive the bullet partway into the barrel, where it became stuck (a condition known as a squib load). The prop crew either failed to notice or failed to recognize the significance of this issue.
He was rushed to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, where he underwent six hours of surgery. However, attempts to save him were unsuccessful, and Lee was pronounced dead at 1:03 pm EST on March 31, 1993, at the age of 28. The shooting was ruled an accident.

Every notable site lists it as Action, and then alternately crime, drama, fantasy, thriller, and horror. Not one lists "superhero" once.
Superhero is such a reductive and incorrect assessment of the film purely because it's based on a comic book. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:48, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

The claim that his film was a sleeper hit is nonsense. The film opened at number 1 in the box office! The claim is entirely unsourced original research, and was added without any explanation by anon an IP in January 2015.(diff)
"Sleeper hit" much is much like "cult classic" in that for years editors added it all over Wikipedia without any factual basis, merely because they happened to like a film.
If for some reason editors actually believe this claim please note that because it has been in the article for so long someone out there has probably copied from this article and repeated the bogus claim. WP:CITOGENESIS is real.
Now I'm going to remove the claim from the article, it's only about a decade overdue. -- 109.76.192.119 (talk) 01:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
