Best random behind the scenes movie facts


You're gonna need a bigger boat was ad libbed. You would've seen more of the shark but it kept breaking.

The scene in Planes Trains where the disgusting bloke spits in his hand before shaking Steve Martin's wasn't in the script and no one told Steve. His reaction was real and he ran off to wash his hands straight after.
 
Jim Carey performed the tablecloth trick in The Grinch by accident. Stuff was meant to fall of the table, so walked back and knocked everything off.
 
In London, during the shooting of Superman and Superman 2 which were filmed simultaneously, the crew learned that cast member Jack O’Halloran (the bloke that played the mute super baddie) was the illegitimate son of a famous mafia boss.

Christopher Reeve couldn’t stop telling everyone about this including people he met off the set and would ask loads of questions about it in an Italian restraunt whose owners O’Halloran was acquainted with.

When this got back to O’Halloran he angrily confronted Reeve and told him to shut his mouth. Reeve didn’t like being talked to like that and an argument ensued which ended with O’Halloran pinning Reeve against the wall about to punch his face in.

At this point the director Richard Donner came in, realised what was happening and begged O’Halloran not to hit him in the face as it would delay filming. This amused O’Halloran and he let Reeve go unscathed.
 
On the set of the film The Hateful Eight, a rare pre-war Martin acoustic guitar (which was on loan from the Martin Guitar co Museum) was smashed by Kurt Russell as he thought it had been swapped with a prop. In the scene in the film, that's a 150 year old, $40,000 antique being destroyed.
