During the filming of Gettysburg, Martin Sheen's grand children were with him (emilio Estevez's kids) and they were waiting on a press shoot in the sun. My dad (a reanactor) invited him under the shade of his tent and sat and talked for 45 minutes. He said he was very down to earth.
They didn't pay the hundreds of reanactor s anything, but there was a food tent where they could go 24/7 and get anything from bananas to lobster. |

When I was in the AF in the late 80's, I was at a base air show, sitting with an F-14 pilot that was there for the show. He was off the carrier where they filmed Top Gun. He said that every flying day during the filming, the Navy guys got to see the day's film. He said that the actors actually rode in the back seat, with a camera between their knees for the face shots. One day, Tom Cruise came back from a flight, and as he walked away from the jet, he threw his helmet bouncing across the flight deck. When they saw the film later, they found out why. The pilot pulled a bunch of G's, and TC passed out. His head rolled off to the side, out of the shot, then flopped back and forth a few times as the pilot maneuvered. Finally, he sat up, opened his glazed over eyes, and puked right into the camera lens.

Andre the Giant had a four wheeler on the set of Princess Bride to help him get around. ( He had a bad back by this time in his life) He goated Cary Elwes into taking it for a spin. He of course crashed it and nearly broke his ankle. Almost causing the production to stop. He powered through and that's why he sits down so awkwardly in the scene on the log with Buttercup.

When Edward G. Robinson was filming his death scene for Soylent Green (1973) he was dying from bladder cancer in real life and knew it would be the last scene he ever appeared in.
No one else on set knew he was dying. He died twelve days later and Charlton Heston gave his eulogy. |

the most dangerous game 1932
they were having production issues with stop motion of King Kong so using the same set and same cast they shot this at the same time to offset the budget over runs the two guys in the bi plane that finish off Kong are the actual producers of the film, they wanted to be the ones to put the death knell in him since he almost financially killed them |

Nicolas Cage was offered the part of Aragorn in Lord of the Rings. He turned it down because he didn't want to be away from his kid for so long. Russell Crowe was offered the part, he turned it down due to prior commitments (this was right after Gladiator).
Sean Connery was offered the part of Gandalf, he turned it down because because he didn't like the script. Liam Neeson was offered the part of Boromir. He turned it down, not sure why. |

In this scene Aragorn believes Merry and Pippin to be dead. In a moment of great anger and hopelessness he kicks a helmet and falls to his knees in despair. Very intense.
If you notice, the scream is very convincing and sounds like physical pain, because it is. Peter Jackson wanted Viggo to kick the helmet close to the camera, as it would make for a great shot. After 4 takes of getting the helmet closer and closer, Jackson asked for one more take. In this Viggo kicks the helmet, breaking 2 of his toes in the process. Despite this, he uses this pain and continues to play out the scene, not alerting anyone until later that he had broken his toes.  Viggo Mortensen breaks his toe in LOTR |

Caddyshack: Basically written on the fly. It was supposed to be focused more on the caddy and his girlfriend, but the groundhog proved more interesting.
producers couldn’t get permission to blow up the golf course, so they threw a huge party/dinner for the entire cast and crew, except for those in the scene. They happily agreed to pay for the damage to the course. When the course exploded, the nearby airport was caught off guard by the explosion and closed their runways for a short period. |

Deliverance...
The film is infamous for cutting costs by not insuring the production and having the actors perform their own stunts (most notably, Jon Voight climbed the cliff himself). In one scene, the stunt coordinator decided that a scene showing a canoe with a dummy of Burt Reynolds in it looked phony; he said it looked "like a canoe with a dummy in it". Reynolds requested to have the scene re-shot with himself in the canoe rather than the dummy. After shooting the scene, Reynolds, coughing up river water and nursing a broken coccyx, asked how the scene looked. The director responded, "like a canoe with a dummy in it". |

Tatiany Maslany had auditioned for the rôle evenually won by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Gemini Man - A story about a clone of a super agent (Will Smith). Tatiany Maslany got the 'even', starring in a TV series, Orphan Black, about clones (in which she played multiple rôles as clones). She was awarded a much deserved Emmy for her efforts.

The submarine in Raiders of the Lost Ark was borrowed from the production of Das Boot.
The first scene was shot in La Rochelle; it featured the capture of the tramp steamer Bantu Wind by a Nazi U-boat.[7][23] Watts borrowed a submarine from the war film Das Boot (1981) on the condition that it not be taken into deep waters.[7] Lucas returned home after becoming sea sick during the shoot.[17] World War II German U-boat pens in La Rochelle represented the U-boat dock.[5][23] An original coal-fired tramp steamer boat could not be found for filming, so an Egyptian boat found in an Irish port was decorated appropriately and sailed to France.[7] Filming in La Rochelle concluded by the end of the week. |

The Ford Bronco jump in Romancing the Stone set a world record for longest vehicle jump without a landing ramp. The Bronco was prepared with upgraded shocks, springs, roll cage, suspension seat for driver, and structural bolts were replaced with the highest strength available. After the stunt the vehicle was torn down and thoroughly inspected. There was no damage. The backup vehicle was never used. There was also a third cosmetic copy for static scenes. Ford Motor Co. bought at least one of them back and toured it at car shows for a while.
