"What's The Greatest Movie 'Behind-The-Scenes' Fact You Know?" (40 Answers) While looking for a tattered coat for the character playing The Wizard in the Wizard of Oz, a costume assistant bought one from a second hand store. When the actor put the coat on he turned the pocket inside out - written in the pocket was the name L.Frank Baum who is the author of The Wizard of Oz books. Baum's widow later identified the coat as actually having belonged to her husband

Ironside has never forgotten Schwarzenegger's kindness and neither has his sister.

This is a common issue when filming gun scenes: actors always want to make the sound effects. The difference here, is that this feels in-character for him.

"What's The Greatest Movie 'Behind-The-Scenes' Fact You Know?" (40 Answers) During the filming of the Lord of the Rings, Christopher Lee corrected Peter Jackson on the sound of being stabbed in the back.

From the DVD commentary:

"When I was shooting the stabbing shot with Christopher, as a director would I was explaining to him what he should do"... "And he says, 'Peter, have you ever heard the sound a man makes when he’s stabbed in the back?' And I said, 'Um, no.' And he says 'Well, I have, and I know what to do.' ""

He had been involved in some super secret operations for the British during WWII, which is presumably where he knew that from.

In Apollo 13, they filmed in NASA's "vomit comet", a plane that flew at high altitudes and would create parabola movements to simulate a short period of low gravity. They built the Apollo spacecraft set inside the plane and almost every scene featuring zero gravity was filmed in the plane. They flew over 500 times in the parabola. From the time that low gravity simulation would start, they would only have 23 seconds to unstrap from restraints, set up a shot, roll, and then strap back in. They completed all of these flights in 13 days. THE MOST UNDERRATED MOVIE FACT OF ALL TIME! The only movie ever to film in actual Zero Gravity.

"What's The Greatest Movie 'Behind-The-Scenes' Fact You Know?" (40 Answers) In Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers when Aragon, Gimli, and Legolas are approaching the pile of smoldering and dismembered corpses looking for Pipin and Mary, Vigo Mortensen kicks a helmeted Orc head and screams, thinking the hobbits are dead and gone.

It's a really good scream and 100% authentic. When Mortensen kicked the head/helmet he broke two of his toes. He used the pain and stayed in character. They kept the scene for the movie.

In Requiem for a Dream, there is a scene where Ellen Burnstyn gives a monologue about how terrible it is to grow old and useless (a scene credited for her Best Actress nomination). Unlike the rest of the movie where every shot is very carefully planned and framed, the camera here goes all shakey and off center.

This was not planned or intended, and director Darren Aronofsky started to throw a fit as soon as the scene was cut, because Ellen Burnstyn had just delivered an amazing performance and the cinematographer had screwed it all up.

As it turns out, the filming was screwed up because the cinematographer was so moved by Burnstyn's performance that he was crying uncontrollably - he couldn't hold the camera still, and couldn't see because his crying fogged up the eyepiece.

They used that cut in the final film.

"What's The Greatest Movie 'Behind-The-Scenes' Fact You Know?" (40 Answers) When Coppola and Lucas (close friends and filmmaking buddies) were planning Apocalypse Now (which George Lucas was originally supposed to direct) they gave a small role to their carpenter, Harrison Ford, in return for Ford's work on a desk for Coppola's office. Ford also got a role in Lucas' American Graffiti a few years prior this same way.

During the casting for Star Wars, Lucas needed someone to read Han Solo's lines while actor's auditioned for Luke. He quickly asked Ford to do it, and afterwards, one of the producers there came up to Lucas and pointed out that he already had his Han Solo in Ford. (Thus beating out Kurt Russell for the role).

This is a smaller one than the plethora of LOTR info already here, but still one of my favorites:

In the movie "The Holiday", there is a scene in a video rental store where Miles (Jack Black) is introducing Iris (Kate Winslet) to a variety of famous music from movies - Chariots of Fire, Gone With The Wind, etc. When he gets to "The Graduate", he starts singing "Mrs. Robinson", and the camera cuts over to Dustin Hoffman, shaking his head at their conversation.

Dustin Hoffman's cameo was completely unplanned - he knew the director, saw a bunch of equipment at the Blockbuster, stopped in to say hi, and they wrote his cameo in on the spot.

The movie Field of Dreams was based on the book Shoeless Joe by W. P. Kinsella. Throughout the entirety of the production, they had planned to call it Shoeless Joe. After the movie was shot and edited, the producers showed it to a focus group who loved everything about it except the name. They thought it sounded like a movie about a homeless guy. So the producers changed it to Field of Dreams and told the director, Phil Robinson.

Robinson was horrified and considered it the worst type of corporate business meddling. He vowed to fight them on this, and his first step was to get W. P. Kinsella to argue on his side. He made a phone call and mentioned the name change. Before he could give more details, Kinsella interrupted and said, "Oh, Shoeless Joe was my publisher's title. I wanted to call it Dream Field."

"What's The Greatest Movie 'Behind-The-Scenes' Fact You Know?" (40 Answers) The big reveal that Darth Vader is Luke's father was a crazily guarded secret--even the actor who played Vader didn't know. As most people know, Vader's body was played by David Prowse, and his voice was James Earl Jones. During filming though, Prowse did say his lines. During that scene, what he actually says is "Obi-Wan killed your father." Hamill was only told moments before what the actual line was going to wind up being and none of the other actors knew--no one knew except Lucas, the director, and some producers.

"What's The Greatest Movie 'Behind-The-Scenes' Fact You Know?" (40 Answers) In Hitchcock's Rope, which is composed of just a few very long takes, the dollycam (which is extremely heavy and on rails) ran over a crewmember's foot, breaking it. This was pretty deep into a good take from what I recall, so another stagehand just covered his mouth and dragged him off set rather than let his screams of pain ruin a lot of work.

During the dream sequence in The Big Leboswki, Jeff Bridges is 'bowled' along the floor and comes to rest with his head between a standing cheerleader's legs, staring up at her personal area.

He breaks out in a huge grin - which is genuine and totally unscripted. This is because the girl in question was supplied with an elaborate pubic hair wig (or merkin, if you want to be technical) by the Coen brothers without Bridges being informed.

"What's The Greatest Movie 'Behind-The-Scenes' Fact You Know?" (40 Answers) William Friedkin had a shotgun with blank shells that he'd shoot off on the sound stage during breaks, while filming The Exorcist. It scared the daylights out of everybody, and after a few times he was asked to stop. The actors didn't find it funny. What they didn't know was that their reactions were being filmed - and later inserted into the movie as their reaction when Regan made a sound upstairs.

In "Soylent Green", when Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson) reads the Soylent Corporation Oceanographic Report from 2015-2019, he realizes that the oceans are dead and that Soylent Green HAD to be made from corpses. So he goes to a Euthanasia Parlor. When Thorne (Charlton Heston) catches up to him, and is talking to him about "things", Thorne has tears in his eyes. This is because he was the only one on the set that knew that Robinson was, in fact, dying of cancer, and died 12 days after the filming ended.

The only thing in the Chocolate Room that wasn't edible was the teacup Wonka eats. That was wax. Gene Wilder still ate it for the shot.

The chocolate river was made of water, cocoa and shampoo, so it would foam right, but it's also only a foot deep. They had to dig a hole where Augustus falls in and hope he doesn't break his neck.

And it took fifteen takes to get the Oompa Loompas to roll Violet out the door. Only two of them spoke English, and Violet was wider than they are tall. They kept rolling her head into the metal doorframe.

The one you've heard is that Gene Wilder planned the little stumblesault when he arrives, but he also didn't tell anyone about the hallucination scene. The kids actually thought he went mad, since their scripts didn't include the scene.

District 9 was almost completely unscripted. They had the story plotted out, but when it came to shooting scenes, they would just sort of wing it. Sharlto Copley, the star, had never really acted before. He was a TV producer who Neill Blomkamp worked for as a teenager.

In Django Unchained, when DiCaprio finally snaps and starts slamming on the table, his hand starts to bleed profusely. The blood was real because he shattered a glass when he slammed his hand down, but he kept going with it.

I like to think it's still his blood when he rubs it all over Broomhilda's face, but I really doubt it.

Peter Cushing, the man who played Grand Moff Tarkin in the original Star Wars is hardly ever filmed where you can see him from head to toe. This is because the boots they gave him to wear were terribly uncomfortable. So Cushing brought his own pink fuzzy slippers to the set and they filmed him from the waist up. If you check out the scene where he orders the destruction of Alderaan he's actually wearing pink fuzzy slippers.

Brad Pitt apparently is too, during the filming of Moneyball Jonah Hill liked to ride a special golf cart around set so Pitt stole it one day and had it painted pink, "Jonah loves WHAM!" written on the windshield with a little picture of them photoshopped onto a pic of Wham and rigged the radio to blast "Wake me up before you go-go"

In The Emperor's New Groove (I think I have this right):

Remember the bit where Patrick (Kronk) Warburton is trying to hide Kuzco's body and doing this off-key "singing"? According to the director, Warburton, while a funny man, can't sing at all and his tone deaf noise-making is not an act. Even better, it was improvised and thus, technically, he was the composer of the "music". And, as the composer, Disney's lawyers insisted that he sell them the rights to the music. The irony of this was not lost on anyone.

"What's The Greatest Movie 'Behind-The-Scenes' Fact You Know?" (40 Answers) (Spoiler alert) In Back to the Future, Marty's family is very wealthy (or at least much wealthier) at the end in the new time. Crispin Glover, who played George McFly, disagreed with the morality of the ending and contested it. Because he was contractually obligated to finish the film, however, he did. He did not, though, appear in either of the sequels. To remedy this, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale (co-creators) put in a look-alike wearing huge sunglasses, and used footage from the firsts movie to make it appear as though Glover was in the sequels.

Upon seeing this, Glover sued the two, and now there are stricter regulations about this sort of thing.

In "Amadeus," during the filming of the Don Giovanni scene, the actor playing Giovanni wears a long feather in his cap. At one point Giovanni puts his elbow on the table and leans on his hand, with the cap feather near the candles on the table. The scene was being filmed in the historic Count Nostitz Theater in Prague, where Don Giovanni had actually debuted two centuries earlier.

During one take, the actor's feather caught fire and he did not realize. Director Milos Forman, famous for not cutting during scenes, said nothing and allowed the scene to continue. The curator of the theater had to approach Forman and beg him to cut the scene for fear that he would burn down the historic landmark.

tl;dr - The director of "Amadeus" put his actors at risk and nearly burned down an historical theater because he did not want to stop shooting while an actor's hat was on fire.

Havn't seen these yet. In Titanic: The scene where the water crashes into the dinner hall (?), they only had that one chance to film it because that whole set was actually being destroyed by the water.

When Jack draws Rose, it is actually James Cameron's hands they show drawing.

Kate Winslet was the only one not to wear a wetsuit and got sick because of it. They didn't want the suit to interfer with the sheer dresses. Her dresses were also a size or two too large to make her look small and vulnerable.

When she's saving Jack from the handcuffs, she steps into the water and gasps at how cold it was. That was a real reaction, so was Jack's "oh shit".

Kate had a really hard time during filming and almost/wanted to drop the movie. During the end of filming she had to wear a wig due to her hair being damaged from the dye.

When Jack says "get on the bed, uhhh the couch", that was a real mistake they decided to keep in.

The most visited Titanic victim grave belongs to "J. Dawson". No relation to Jack and James had no idea until after the movie.

I really like Titanic.

In Wayne's World, Dana Carvey's line, "Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?" was improvised. Mike Myers' laughter that follows is genuine and thankfully was used in the movie.

Also, Mike threatened to leave the production when producers wanted to use Guns N'Roses instead of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

GNR was left out of Wayne's World, but was put into Terminator 2. Robert Patrick (T-1000) went to James Cameron to use NIN as the band of choice for the movie as his brother, Richard Patrick, was the guitarist. GNR was used instead because Arnold liked them.

A couple of Disney ones:

• In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Kevin Kline (who plays Phoebus) waved a plastic prop sword around while doing his lines. They had to hang the microphone higher because he kept hitting it.

• Also in HoND, the animators gave Frollo's horse a name: Snowball.

• In Hercules, Hades was originally intended to be a lot more like Frollo or Jafar (calm, slow-talking, elegant/refined, etc), but James Woods read the dialogue as if he was a used car salesman in his audition and wound up getting the role.

• In an alternate ending of The Nightmare Before Christmas, it was revealed that Oogie Boogie was a giant puppet being manipulated by Dr. Finkelstein.

• In The Princess and the Frog, the voice actress playing Tiana is left-handed and insisted that Tiana also be left-handed.

Blade Runner... OK a few bits not just one.

• At the end of the movie the dove was shot in the morning sky. This happened because the studio time was down to the wire and they were running out of time to complete the shots. It was either that scene or none at all.

• The model of the Tyrell Corporation(opening scene) burned down because the techs left the model lights on. By the time they noticed it was too late to save it.

• Philip K. Dick only saw the first 20 minutes of the movie. He died March 2, 1982.

• The first cut ran around four hours...maybe someday we may get to see it. :)

In M *A * S * H (the movie, not the show), the shot when Houlihan is in the shower and the tent is pulled down had to he redone several times. Sally Kellerman was embarrassed by her big hips and dove out of site too quickly. To counter this, for one take some of the actors stood right by the camera with their dicks out to shock her into slowing down. It worked.

Also, while not really a behind the scenes sort of thing, Radar is the only character played by the same actor in both the movie and the TV show.

During the filming of The Hangover the Mercedes that Doug drives in the movie was actually stolen off the set.

During filming in Las Vegas, one of the Mercedes (a very beat up and distinctive one) was stolen from the lot where the vehicles were being kept. The next day the production was filming driving sequences and traffic was being held up by the local police. A production person noticed that a very distinctive Mercedes was part of the cars being held, the police were told, the driver was arrested and the car was recovered.
