[on his injury during filming
Jak se budí princezny (1978)] After filming the race scene at the pond, I ended the evening in the hotel Black Hawk in Telc, where we were staying during the filming, by falling from six meters. The place of the fall was strange - I flew through the glass ceiling into the restaurant of the hotel and fell right between the tables. The tables held up, but my leg didn't.
Vladimír Mensík visited me the next day in the hospital and said he was very jealous because he had experienced many things, but he had never entered a pub through its ceiling.
