I'm sure there are a few other films/scenes that had genuine reactions, like the one in "Real Steel" when Max saw Atom coming alive in the workshop. The actor Dakota Goyo actually did see the robot for the first time on set. Or when Gertie cried in E.T. when E.T. was dead. 7 year old Drew Barrymore thought E.T. was a real person. But your list is great, even including scenes from very old movies.

[@AFLoneWolf]

This really just proves how reckless and deranged filmmakers have always been.

[@johns9652]

Not nearly as bad, but pretty messed up anyway; the director of Die Hard had Alan Rickman dropped a half second before he was supposed to be, the look on his face as his character Hans Gruber falls is genuine oh crap fear. He thought some malfunction might actually have him about to fall to his death.

The chestburster scene in Alien traumatized Veronica Cartwright, who played Lambert, so badly she needed therapy. After that, she only did a few nice, safe, made for TV movies, until 4 years later she was in a horror/sci-fi anthology called Nightmares, which she was already having, BTW. It was originally filmed as the two-hour pilot for a TV series that never happened. Her first real movie after Alien was The Right Stuff, later in 1983. She did several more made for TV movies and TV shows, and some other movies before finally starring in another horror movie in 1995, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh, with Tony Todd. 16 years after Alien, I guess she wasn't scared anymore. At least not too scared.

[@johntiggleman4686]

@gwickle1685 Yeah, that is one surprised reaction.

[@3henry214]

Rickman was not at all keen on doing that scene in the first place, he did not like heights and was 40 ft up. He was already scared that something might go wrong, so when he was let go unexpectedly before the agreed upon count, he was convinced that his worst fear was indeed happening. He recounted that in a interview, and was still none too happy.

[@bayberuthtoo]

They missed a few good ones.. Robin Williams talking about his wife farting in her sleep in "Goodwill Hunting" was totally improvised, so Matt Damon's gut busting reaction is real.. the scene even shakes a little because the camera operators cracked up as well. Steve Carrell really did have his hair waxed in "40 Year Old Virgin", so all his yelling & screaming was genuine.. as was the blood spots soaking through the shirt as he walked home. The scene in "Far & Away" where Nicole Kidman looks under the bowl at Tom Cruise's junk, he was supposed to be covered but he wasn't, so Kidman's look of surprise & sneaking a 2nd peek is genuine. In "Airplane" when Kareem Abdul Jabbar gets in little Joey's face & chews him out, they didn't tell Joey that was coming so his look of discomfort & fear is completely real. The restaurant scene in "Scrooged" where Bill Murray throws the bucket of water, then slips & falls, was real.. he stayed in character & finished the scene, but all the slipping & sliding as he walked out was legit. Chris Pratt dropping the orb in "Guardians of The Galaxy" was an oops.. but he stayed in character & recovered the scene while giving us a laugh.

[@gillesmatheronpro]

When acting, you never "fake". You LIVE the moment, because it just is the only way to give a credible performance.

And then there was that one scene where all of the young actors on set of the IT remake saw Bill Skarsgard for the first time as Pennywise in the garage during the slideshow. The initial first reaction to seeing Bill was genuine.💯

[@jimwjohnq.public]

They did not mention the part in Die hard where they dropped Alan Rickman. He was in a harness and was supposed to be dropped on the count of 3. They dropped him on 2. So that look of fear on his face when he dropped was the real deal.

[@JoeSzilagy]

I think in the scene from 'Schindler's List' where prisoners were about to be gassed, Steven Spielberg purposely did not tell them that all the lights would be suddenly turned off, which made them all scream in terror. There is also a scene in 'Ship of Fools' where Vivean Leigh attacks Lee Marvin with one of her high-heeled shoes and cuts him badly.

There was a scene where Leonardo DiCaprio, who is so brilliant in the film, actually smashed glass and had a bloodied hand and did the scene, finished the scene with a bloody hand," she recalled. "In the scene, he goes to touch my face later and Quentin wasn't sure if he wanted to use the take with the blood or not, so every moment after that moment in the movie we shot twice. We'd shoot completely bloody with him touching my face - with fake blood - and then we'd have to take everything off and shoot it again totally clean."

Michael Cur-TEEZ Jeezus. He's only one of the greatest directors (and sssholes) in movie history.

Curtiz had set up trip wires to upend the horses, many of whom broke their legs and had to be destroyed. One stuntman died. Flynn and Niven were outraged. And Congress later passed a law ensuring animal welfare on movie sets.

[@oufaze]

As a film student and a filmmaker, I don't believe half of these facts. Every take is taken at a different time with a different lighting set, sometimes half an hour and sometimes days or months between takes. For example, when the kids reactions to the ship at Goonies were taken, they would probably not really stand in front of the ship, but in front of cameras, lights, etc, that were obviously not placed inside the water were the ship was. Same with the jail scene, unless they planned to shoot it multicamera (which is not the regular way in cinema), the extra's reactions can't be from one scene alone, but from the same action shot multiple takes and multiple shots. Cinema is so full of magic and tricks to make the audience feel they watch something natural, while it's made the exact opposite way. That's what so amazing about it. But don't fool people with facts that most of them can't possibly be true. P.s the thumbnail of Jamie Lee Curtis is a clickbate.
