This is perhaps a bit of a stretch, and doesn't involve blood (and it's television), but at the end of a miming routine about props during "An Evening With Fred Astaire," Astaire uses an imaginary golf club to shoot toward the audience, and appears to accidentally shatter the camera lens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEPyEp6E42E Quoting Miriam Ross <[log in to unmask]>: > Does anyone know of instances prior to Saving Private Ryan where blood or > other liquids have splattered onto the camera lens and have been left in the > shot (thus suggesting the fourth wall). > Following this enquiry, does anyone know of any 3D films that have used the > same effect.
