Alan Rickman, who played Hans Gruber in Die Hard (1988), was genuinely terrified during his iconic fall scene. Due to his fear of heights, director John McTiernan convinced him to perform the stunt by demonstrating a similar fall himself. To capture an authentic reaction, Rickman was dropped earlier than expected, resulting in a genuine look of surprise and fear on his face.Now pull up a seat anon, I've more stories to share

In Alien, the actors didn’t know John Hurts chest was gonna burst. Genuine reactions.
In Django Unchained, Leo really cut his hand when he slammed it into the glasses during the dinner scene but he just kept going and eventually smeared his real blood on Kerry Washington's face.

>>215054632WE KNOW
The iconic scene where Tom Cruise was running on the rooftops had a moment of real drama when cruise broke his foot on the fall. In the move you can see the injury and him limp across the roof after the jump. Tom gives it all for his films and never takes his due credit as this was kept secret all these years.
>have a fun fact

>Fun fact about the Kevin Nash scene. The knife was supposed to be a rubber plunger blade so when he stabbed him, it would just go into the handle. But not only was it a real knife...it was DULL , which means it takes more force to pierce flesh and technically hurts more because you're tearing with pressure instead of a clean cut. That means Thomas Jane was strong enough to force a dull prop knife through a man's chest, and Kevin Nash was tough enough to ignore it and finish the scene. Also Kevin actually threw Jane through that wall.
The 1980 film Xanadu features Gene Kelly playing a character called Danny McGuire. This is actually the same character he played in a 1944 film called Cover Girl with Rita Hayworth. The films are unrelated, making it one of cinema's odder role reprisals, but Xanadu's plot is based on another Hayworth film, 1947's Down to Earth.
>>215054632You left out the part where Leo left a dead body in Sameul Jackson's trailer with a sign that said "dead nigger storage". Sam was mad at af but reportedly couldn't stop laughing>dis nigga aight
>>215054361It’s a movie SET during Christmas. That doesn’t necessarily make it a “Christmas movie”
>>215055000Another Gene Kelly one: He was quite ill with a fever while filming the iconic dance scene in Singin' In The Rain, but soldiered on. It's reported that he shot it in one take, but this is untrue and it took 2-3 days.
>>215055265Did you post porn?
>>215055289No, just an unrelated image to the post that I forgot to remove. Post quality is important!
In The Goonies, there's a throwaway line at the end where the gang is talking about their adventures Data mentions a giant octopus - This references a deleted scene that didn't make the final cut, but left in, it just kinda sounds like he's cutely exaggerating the events of the film.
The character Gollum, from Lord of the Rings, was actually computer generated

During the filming of Air Force One Mark Wahlberg said "if i was there (the ending) wouldn't have gone down like it did"
In Japan, Super Mario Bros 2 was actually known as "Sucky Sucky Panic", did you know gaming?
Marvel? Marvel is noise. It’s content. The cinematic equivalent of eating popcorn for dinner and calling it a meal. It fills you up for two hours and leaves you spiritually malnourished. You cheer when the purple alien gets punched, and you call it catharsis. But have you ever felt anything? Have you ever watched Bresson? Have you ever wept during Tokyo Story as life’s quiet heartbreak seeped into your bones like rain on an old photograph?Real cinema does not handhold you through plot. It does not pause to explain. It simply is. Tarkovsky once said that film is “sculpting in time.” Superhero films, horror movies and all their kind, meanwhile, is sculpted in green screen, manufavtured in post-production in a server farm in Burbank.You see, when I watch Persona, I am engaged in a dialogue with the filmmaker. Bergman stares into my soul and asks: Who are you? When I watch an action film, I stare into the void - and the void sells me Mountain Dew.Cinema used to mean something. Now it’s a franchise. A universe. A line of Funko Pops. But you cannot merchandise human emotion. You cannot make a toy out of alienation.So yes, enjoy your little quips, your mid-credit scenes, your ironic detachment. But when you’re ready for something real, something that hurts, something that doesn’t need to wink at you every five seconds, I’ll be here.In a half-empty theater. Watching Andrei Rublev.Crying softly.Drinking an espresso that cost more than your Disney+ subscription.Because that, my friends…That is cinema.Now Anon, pull up a seat, let's play some Jefre Cantu-Ledesma in the background, and discuss some real films.

Psycho is the first film to feature a toilet shown flushing. BRAAAAAPP!

>Bennett played Argento's son in the 2004 film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things when Bennett was 7 years old and she was 28, Bennett claimed that Argento sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room in 2013, when he was 17 and Argento was 37.

During this scene, Jim Carrey actually managed to pull the tablecloth perfectly without disturbing the dishes. However, as he walking off set, he learned that terrorists had flown planes into the World Trade Center and one of the twin towers had collapsed. He was so upset that he ran back to the table and knocked everything over before joining the crew in a silent prayer. His raw reaction was kept in the film.
during the filming of The Truman Show, Jim Carrey was trying out method acting for the first time, and in preparation for the role, he tried to imagine what it would be like to recreate the part of the script where Truman ejaculated onto an actresses shoulder in public without her knowing.
