Carla Gugino said that she fractured her wrist while filming Leopard Skin in the Dominican Republic earlier this year.

The actress says the accident occurred as she was “coming down a hill” and resulted in a “pretty nasty injury” while promoting her new Netflix film “Gunpowder Milkshake.”

“I broke all the bones all the way across and then had a bunch of complications because I had to have a bonesetter on,” she explained. “It made me look like RoboCop, but it was a massive metal thing that was literally drilled into my bones that I had to have on for seven weeks.”

The damage ‘didn’t heal because the bone was pulled too far apart, so I had to have a second surgery seven weeks ago,’ Gugino explained, ”I now am bionic.’

Gugino plays Madeleine, a part of a crew of female assassins that includes Karen Gillan, Angela Bassett, Lena Headey, and Michelle Yeoh, who are attempting to save a small child from a lethal crime organization in “Gunpowder Milkshake.” “None of the women had ever worked with each other,” Gugino adds, adding, “it definitely was absolutely a big part of the lore to do it. It was like, ‘Wow, this a group of amazing women who are going to come together to kind of play.’ One of the things I found that, besides this being a hugely entertaining film, is also there is this sense of found family.”

She was in the process of filming a new project when she took the horrible fall.

“During this last week of filming Leopard Skin this happened!” she said on Instagram. “But as we know, the show must go on! (Broken wrist or not) which is one of my favorite things about making movies and theater. There’s no better doctor than ‘Dr. Theatre’ as coined by the great Rosemary Harris.”

Gugino also told the newspaper that she believes filmmaker Robert Rodriguez’s Spy Kids film anthology, in which she appeared, would likely finish with four installments.

‘You know, I think Robert has moved on,’ she said. ‘I actually just saw him recently and we always want to collaborate. I think he did four of them and that was sort of right.’
