Spike Lee triggered Chicago anger by titling his flick about the shoot-’em-up city “Chiraq” – a combo of “CHI-cago” and “i-RAQ” – where a whopping SIX Windy City-zens died from criminal gunfire in just ONE WEEKEND as Spike started shooting
… and here’s my bang-up SCOOP: Terrified stars John Cusack and Jennifer Hudson got targeted by REAL BULLETS!
Said my source: “Spike insisted on filming John and Jennifer driving crowded, crime-ridden streets at night, and everyone worried when local gangbangers started hanging around. It was scary, with actors firing loud blanks as the stars drove by in a Ford Mustang! And after one VERY loud take, John hopped out to look at the car – and was shocked when a crewmember yelled, ‘F**K! Look … REAL BULLET HOLES!’ Person, or persons unknown, had fired LIVE ammo!”
An intense search of the area turned up no clues, but John and Jennifer flat out refused to drive their hearse-mobile for even one more take!
