One was in serious but stable condition and the other in stable condition at Grossman Burn Center in Sherman Oaks, said hospital spokeswoman Debbie Groveman.

No fire was reported, and officials were investigating, Padilla said.

The injuries occurred during the filming of a scene for "You Don't Mess with the Zohan," said Steve Elzer, a spokesman for Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, which is distributing the movie.

"Our thoughts right now are with the stuntmen and their families and we hope that each recovers swiftly from their injuries," Elzer said in a statement.

Sandler visited the hospital Monday evening to check on the stuntmen, KCAL-TV reported.

My thoughts and prayers are with these men as they recover from their injuries.

Americans, please consider becoming an organ and tissue donor to help those whose lives can benefit from our deaths. Skin grafts are used to treat burns and can help give someone their life back and improve their quality of life.

Report This! SKELETONS in AMERICA'S CLOSET's, The NEW DEATH CAMPS?
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, I WOULDNT GO TO THEM...THE IRONY IN THIS MOVIE IS THAT SANDLER IS VERY MUCH A SUPPORTER OF THESE JEWISH TERRORIST GROUPS LIKE MOSSAD, JDL ETC... AS IS THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE JEWISH MEDIA. WHAT A LITTLE WEASEL

Report This! SKELETONS in AMERICA'S CLOSET's, The NEW DEATH CAMPS? In America? Instead of being brought in by a train, you are brought in by a ambulance, before you are taking care of, you are checked out by not people in military dress, but by people in hospital dress. You then are checked, not whether you are strong enough to be a slave, but you are checked to see if you have money/medical insurance. You are not pointed one way to live and be a slave or the other way for death, but if you have money/medical insurance you get the best of care. This is not played out in a prison where people are concentrated, but scattered out over many miles. This is not played out in large groups at one or two places, but many places one person at a time. This is played out almost 2,222 times a day. The funny thing is, some of these guards emergency room doctors are jewish. What part is not true?

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THE IRONY IN THIS MOVIE IS THAT SANDLER IS VERY M

This site must be rated Family. What a pleasure to read an article and not get into all the negative comments and comments that are not on the article. Thanks for making my day.

I've always wondered why there is a chunk missing from Adam's ear lobe?

I had one third of the bottom of my foot burned OFF in an industrial accident, it eventually grew back.,I chose not to have grafts.
I really feel for the injured stuntmen,and hope they recover well, and completely.
