Best random behind the scenes movie facts


The iconic scene in raiders of the lost ark where Indy just pulled his gun & shot the swordsman was ad libbed as Harrison Ford literally couldnt be arsed to go through the full fight scene as it would've taken a while to film & he had a chronic case of the shits, so needed to dash back to his trailer every 10 mins or so to pebble dash his bog

Any idea why he was fired?

A lack of acting ability may be the obvious reason here.
I’m not exaggerating here when I say there’s about 6 different versions of the story that aren’t even similar from the cast and crew. They range from JCVD fainting in the predator suit on set due to the heat it created and being fired, to him trying to convince the producers to let him show his face (apparently didn’t realise he’d never be seen throughout the film when he signed up) and then becoming annoyed at him and firing him, no idea what the actual truth is.
 
during filming for the doomed "The Island of Dr Moreau" Marlon Brando was notorious for being drunk on set and not being able to remember his lines. It was so bad he had to have them radioed into a concealed earpiece live.

According to David Thewlis "he would be on the middle of a scene and would pick up police signals then repeat them"
 
Whilst filming Towering Inferno Steve McQueen would eat his favourite breakfast of croissants in a private room in case it trashed his 'tough guy' persona.

Also the story where he insisted he perform kicks but couldn't because of the suit.
