Why is Tom Cruise so low? He broke his ankle, Fred Astaire got hit with beads.

[@habbidasher6937]

Call me crazy, but it looks like a different take was used in the trailer, as his right foot doesnt touch the building in the final shot. Also, theres a spot that looks like a cut was hidden when an obstacle passes the camera (18:10) and Tom's face in no longer visible as the camera has moved behind him.

[@Popo5525]

@@susanmetz9892 You should read into Garland's whole story. Getting swept up in addiction or traumatic events early in life makes it infinitely more difficult to get clean, and Judy Garland was abused and coerced to take these drugs for the benefit of her film career. Couple that with our society's historically uneducated and borderline cruel stance on addicts, there was simply no support system to help her break free. Saying "nobody forced her to take drugs" later on in life is a rather ignorant take here.

He was standing on the balls of his feet and when they cut him down, he landed wrong and gouged a cut into the back of his calf. The scar is still there, says Brendan Fraser.

I'm annoyed at the fact that Jackie Chan almost dies from one of his many dangerous stunts, but they chose where he burned his hands. And what's worse is that Jackie Chan was beaten by a man who kicked a helmet and broke two toes. C'mon WatchMojo, you can seriously do better.

Viggo Mortensen is actually the master of on-set injuries; as far as I heard, he also had one of his toes chipped (likewise on the LOTR set)...That being said, I was sorely disappointed to notice that he did not even get an Oscar nomination for his part in that film; he would have definitely deserved it.

Absolutely deserved an Oscar but that's only for certain people we know that if Hollywood doesn't like you all that much they probably didn't know he would do such a great job with Lord of the rings but he was excellent

Totally going to age myself here but I still remember the behind the scenes footage at the end of the Shanghai Noon VHS tape where it's basically just a compilation of Jackie Chan hurting himself
