In "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" DR. Dean R Brooks played the role of "DR. Spivey" the Superintendent of the state hospital. In real life DR. Brooks WAS the Superintendent of the state hospital.
During the filming DR. Brooks noticed that one of the actors (William Redfield/ "Harding") was exhibiting some strange symptoms and asked to examine him. He diagnosed him with Luekemia and Redfield died the following year.  Attached File |

The movie that Tony Scott originally wanted to make Top Gun as was going to be, "Apocalypse Now... set on an aircraft carrier."
But the studio very firmly told him no. So he made a movie that was, "rock stars flying fighter jets." |

Val Kilmer played Elvis in True Romance, but the family refused to give Tony Scott permission to use his likeness in the film, so he’s credited as “Mentor”.
It didn’t stop him from having the main character (Christian Slater) admit he’d fuck Elvis, though. |

The guy who played the commandant in The Great Escape had actually been a German soldier in WWII, on the eastern front. Somewhat ironically, he ended up a POW, but managed to escape and walked back to Germany.

Quote HistoryQuoted: How in the bloody hell were they going to lift an aircraft carrier with a helicopter? How in the bloody hell did they intend to keep an aircraft carrier operational when cut off from its command structure and supply chain? I don't know what that movie would have looked like. But I must admit I kinda want to see something like that. Even though it would probably completely kill the old suspension of disbelief. I suppose the Battlestar Galactica side story, Razor is the closest thing to such a movie that was ever made.  Battlestar Galactica: Razor | Obey The Command |

The red Malibu convertible driven by John Travolta in Pulp Fiction was Quentin Tarantino’s own personal car. It was stolen during filming and wasn’t recovered until 19 years later in Oakland, CA.
The owner didn’t know it was stolen. The thieves had cloned another car’s VIN. He’d spent $40k restoring the car. Tarantino took the car back. The guy who restored it was SOL on his $40k. |

The cop who arrests Henry Hill is actually real cop Bo Dietl. He became a NYC celebrity for solving a case involving the rape of a nun in the early 80s which later became the basis for the movie Bad Lieutendant.
He also helped to broker a deal between the SEC and Jordan Belford so in the Wolf of Wall Street he is actually playing himself.

In Star Trek IV(the whale one) when Chekov and Uhura were asking for directions to the navy base, all the extras were supposed to ignore them, a nice play on a Russian in the 80's asking about "nuclear wessels". One actress decided to adlib useless directions, everyone stayed in character and it made the final cut.
In Guardians of the Galaxy Quill drops the sphere with the Infinity Stone. That was an accident but felt so in character they left it in. If you want to watch a movie about accelerating a vehicle owned by Christopher Lloyd past normal speeds to travel back in time to fix the present, your choices are Back to the Future or Star Trek 4. When filming the 1928 Noah's Ark the director wanted real reactions from the extras in the flood scene so he didn't tell them 600,000 gallons of water were about to be released. 3 died, 1 leg amputated, numerous bones broken. John Wayne was one of the uninjured. |

Jack Pennick was in over 140 movies all uncredited. The most of any actor, ever
If you watched any John Ford movies he was in nearly in all of them Pennick joined the United States Marine Corps serving in China and World War I.[1][2] In the 1920s he worked as a horse wrangler on various film productions before he was noticed by filmmaker John Ford. He soon began working as an actor, as well as a military technical adviser.[3] He re-enlisted in the United States Navy in September 1941, at the age of 45.[4] He was promoted to chief warrant officer (chief photographer) in December 1942.[5] He served in the Field Photographic Unit for the Office of Strategic Services under the command of Ford where he helped to drill and train new recruits in the unit.[1] Pennick was awarded the Silver Star medal for action in North Africa.[6]

The TV Show Justified with the story set in rural Eastern KY, was never actually shot/filmed in KY. At no time was the series filmed in KY. Another example of Hollywood exploiting the people of Appalachia with wild over the top stories, yet never actually doing anything to help those said people in any way.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was extremely low budget. Filming conditions were brutal. Real rotting animal bodies were commonly used in the Texas summer heat. At least 1 human skeleton was real because skeletons from the 3rd world were cheaper than fakes. Most actors wore the same clothes. Not copies of costumes, the same clothes day after day.

One of the modern US cinema's greatest stuntmen and stunt innovators, Dar Robinson only appeared in a relatively small number of films compared to other stuntmen (before losing his life in an off-set motorcycle accident); however, he set new benchmarks in stunt performances.
Robinson first appeared onscreen doubling for Steve McQueen jumping into the sea off a clifftop in Papillon (1973), and the following year leapt into the sea again on a motorbike doubling for crooked cop David Soul in Magnum Force (1973). Robinson also doubled for Henry Silva in the dramatic conclusion to Sharky's Machine (1981) where Silva's hitman character is blasted by cop Burt Reynolds through a plate glass window and falls to his death from an Atlanta, Georgia, skyscraper. In reality, Robinson took the dive out the window and landed an on an airbag many floors below to break his fall! Dar was a high-fall specialist and one of his most amazing stunts was doubling for Christopher Plummer at the conclusion of Highpoint (1982) where the villain falls from the 1,170-foot-high CN Tower in Toronto, Canada. Once again, Dar took the plunge with a concealed parachute, which he opened at the absolute last moment, and he earned $150,000 for his work. Robinson also appeared in several minor acting roles onscreen; however, in 1987, Burt Reynolds backed his faith in Dar by casting him as the sadistic albino villain "Moke" in the crime thriller Stick (1985). Not only did Dar act in front of the camera but he also designed and performed the incredible stunt where "Moke" falls to his death from a very high balcony, seemingly straight onto the pavement below. In actual fact, Dar was rigged to a complex wire rig that "deccelerated" his fall, and made the use of an airbag unnecessary |

In "The Wrath of Khan," a dying cadet grabs Kirk's tunic and gasps "Is the order given?" The stain on Kirk's chest moves around between 3 scenes.
 In a later cut, the bloody stain is almost on Kirk's right shoulder; the third time you see it, it's moved back to its original place. Can't find any pics of the second location, though. |
