Adam SandlerTwo stuntmen were burned yesterday during filming of Adam Sandler‘s new comedy, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan at Universal Studios. It’s unclear whether the accident happened during a stunt gone wrong, but one man was burned on his hands and legs and another on his back, suffering first and third degree burns. They were taken to the Grossman Burn Center in Sherman Oaks. Sandler reportedly visited the hospital last night to check on the men and give his support. “Our thoughts right now are with the stuntmen and their families and we hope that each recovers swiftly from their injuries,” Columbia Tristar spokesman Steve Elzer said in a statement.

    More like…..”Our thoughts right now are with the stuntmen and their families and we hope that they don’t sue us!!”

    You Don’t Mess with the Zohan! And you don’t ride in a car…with Lindsay Lohan!!

    Seriously though, I do hope the two stuntmen fully recover quickly.

    yeh and im pretty sure he wants them to come back to work because time is money.
    i doubt he will be able to get new stuntmen to come and work for fear of being burned themselves.

    i so aswell hope the two men have a quick recovery.
