Michael Bay Attacked by Zombie on Transformers Set

Director Michael Bay had a strange experience on the set for his latest movie in the Transformers series. Shooting was taking place in a Hong Kong market, but some of the locals took the opportunity to harass Bay and his crew, and Bay was attacked by a man he says fought like a zombie.

Bay described the incident in a blog post. “Yes, some drugged up guys were being belligerent asses to my crew for hours in the morning of our first shoot day in Hong Kong. One guy rolled metal carts into some of my actors trying to shake us down for thousands of dollars to not play his loud music or hit us with bricks.

“Every vendor where we shot got paid a fair price for our inconvenience, but he wanted four times that amount. I personally told this man and his friends to forget it we were not going to let him extort us. He didn’t like that answer. So an hour later he came by my crew as we were shooting, carrying a long air conditioner unit. He walked right up to me and tried to smack my face, but I ducked threw the air unit on the floor and pushed him away. That’s when the security jumped on him. But it took seven big guys to subdue him. It was like Zombie in Brad Pitt’s movie World War Z- he lifted seven guys up and tried to bite them. He actually bit into one of the guards Nike shoe, insane. Thank god it was an Air Max, the bubble popped but the toe was saved.

“Then it took fifteen Hong Kong cops in riot gear to deal with these punks. In all, four guys were arrested for assaulting the officers.”

Bay’s representative reported that he was not injured in the attack, but a police spokesperson said he had injuries on the right side of his face. Shooting resumed immediately and three men were arrested, and no injuries were suffered by the cast or crew.
