Making films is always shrouded in secrets and surprises. Some of them, whether intentional or accidental, end up on screen. However, others remain hidden pieces of film history for a long time. 
For example, in the very first Spider-Man there was a scene where Tobey Maguire catches food on a tray. It may look like it was done using CGI, but the actor did the trick himself. True, this was only possible with the 156th take. 
All past Matrix films have opened with digital rain. However, few people know what its creator Simon Whiteley put into the cult code. According to him, the matrix screensaver was assembled from scanned Japanese books about delicious food. 
So what they show us on the screen are recipes for sushi and rolls, only from mixed and inverted symbols.
During the filming of the first part of The Lord of the Rings, the actors often went to high altitude areas by helicopter. But Sean Bean, who played Boromir, was afraid to do this, so he spent 2 hours every day climbing the mountain in the equipment necessary for the role. 
The famous scene of a bus jumping over an unfinished bridge in the movie Speed may seem unrealistic. It’s just that the transport actually flew as long as necessary, but in order not to risk it, part of the bridge was erased on the computer. 
Interview with the Vampire had some really dead looking ghouls. The effect was achieved thanks to high-quality makeup. But so that it could be applied correctly, the actors hung upside down for half an hour. This way the blood rushed to the head and it was clear which vessels needed to be sealed. 
In Fight Club, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton make soap. So, the actors actually learned how to do this on set, so the whole process was real. 
The characters in the film Baby Driver were supposed to wear Mike Myers masks during the robbery. True, the one that was in the movie “Halloween”. But they couldn't get permission, so it was decided to use Austin Powers' face. And what? After all, Myers too! 
In Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark there is a scene with a huge number of snakes. True, it was not possible to find them in such quantities in a London pet store, so in addition to the reptiles, several cut hoses were scattered in the frame. 
Young Jamal in Slumdog Millionaire actually jumps into the hole of an outdoor toilet, only instead of “poop” it was a mixture of peanut butter and chocolate. 
There is a scene in The Godfather where Vito Corleone, who has returned from the hospital, is carried to the 2nd floor. Carrying the body of Marlon Brando turned out to be not so easy, because the actor put a load under himself as a joke. 
The planet Naboo in Star Wars: Episode 1 was not created on a computer, but in miniature, and the falling "waterfalls" were made of salt. 
But in the film “The Day After Tomorrow,” the steam coming from the actors’ mouths was made on a computer, since it turned out to be cheaper than purchasing special freezing installations. 
It may seem that the real Dusseldorf airport appears in the film "Terminal". However, in reality it was a complete copy created in a hangar. It was even equipped with working escalators and filled with popular retail outlets. 
During one scene in Batman Returns, actress Michelle Pfeiffer, who played Catwoman, was forced to put a live bird in her mouth. And all because the proposed props looked too fake. But it is worth noting that not a single bird was harmed during the filming of the scene. 
Which of these facts were unknown to you?
