According to the Daily Telegraph there was a theft on the set of Superman Returns, in which the crew's walkie talkies were stolen and filming was forced to be halted.
Pranksters caused chaos during a stunt sequence, being filmed in Martin Place last week, by shouting "cut" and "action" over the airwaves, writes Michael Bodey.
It's believed the thieves with the walkie talkies listened in to much of the night's filming to learn key phrases which they later yelled at key moments.
Unfortunately, the mischief almost caused serious injury, with the night's filming centering on a Mustang car jumping down steps and landing between extras. It stopped dangerously a number of times. Two reinforced Mustangs were used for the stunts and one of them broke a crankshaft on landing and had to be carted away by a forklift. After a couple of close shaves, production was shut down while the second unit, staffed predominantly by Australians, changed all the radio frequencies on the walkie talkies. Superman Returns continues to film around Sydney and at Fox Studios.
