that are kept hidden from the public. Today I'm going to show them to you. What Really Happens in Hollywood Exposing Snow-Causing Cancer Real Horror Movie Moments and Mob Connections as We Explore Movie Secrets Hollywood Didn't Want You to Know Lights Camera Action A Rope List When It Comes to Heroes action, you'll be hard-pressed to find one more iconic than Tom Cruz, the actor is known for punching motorcycle-riding bad guys and jumping out of planes.

The Hollywood superstar performs all of her own stuns now, as you can imagine, performing these high-octane scenes requires a lot of preparation. and there's no doubt that Cruz engages in extensive training before filming an action movie, however, the star also admitted that a crucial part of his process is a little unconventional and every time he performs a stunt on set he will put a ring. thong yes, every time Cruz jumps off a plane or climbs a skyscraper on screen, he does it secretly wearing a tiny thong, but it's not because they make his butt look good, according to Cruz, normal underwear

doesn

't suit him It gives enough flexibility, so wear stretchy, revealing underwear to feel unrestricted while performing challenging action sequences.

Bru reportedly does this in every movie that requires him to perform stuns, and his work in Mission: Impossible often begins with the impossible mission of getting into some panties that many people have made fun of. de Cruz for this unusual method, but I'm not sure why I do something similar when researching these videos. What is my line? Tom Cruz regularly puts his life at risk performing those stuns, but some actors aren't as committed to his craft. Marlon Brando is an actor who starred in The Godfather Apocalypse Now and Julius Caesar and some critics have called him the best actor of all time;

However, towards the end of Brando's career, his attitude towards his craft became a bit LAX on several filmings of films he did not make. He didn't even bother to learn his lines and the production team hid Q cards on the set so he could read his script while acting in the 1978 version of Superman. Brando played the superhero's father and incredibly Brando insisted that his lines be written on the baby's back. Superman's diaper allowed him to look down and read the script while he pretended to look lovingly at the child. Surprisingly, Brando used similar techniques while playing Don Corleon and The Godfather and regularly made Coars stick his lines on his chest, too.

One of the most famous Godfather scenes involves Brando sitting in an office while petting a cat on his lap and some fans have theorized that the only reason the cat was used in the scene is so Brando could hide a card. Q behind his body. It hasn't been confirmed and seems pretty unlikely with how much the cat moves in the scene, but that

doesn

't change the fact that Brando openly admitted to using Q cards throughout his later career and claimed that he didn't learn his lines because They were real. People don't recite a script during a conversation and he

want

ed his performances to be more natural, however, his agent Jay Caner offered a more honest explanation stating that the actor was lazy and just

want

ed to work as little as possible when filming a movie.

Brando is such an iconic actor that his laziness is quite surprising to the uninitiated; However, he was paid $3.7 million for Superman and won an Oscar for The Godfather, so his work ethic clearly didn't hinder his career and receiving that amount of money for Reading lines from some Q cards was an offer that I couldn't refuse Indiana in the Hollywood bathroom. Your public appearance is everything and generating an image and, as a heartthrob, a glamorous star or a tough action hero, is a crucial part of a film actor's career. As a result, when something embarrassing happens to an actor, they would prefer it not be made public.

Unfortunately for Harrison Ford it hasn't always been this way and while filming Raiders of the Lost Arc in 1980 he experienced an embarrassing incident that could have tarnished the tough guy image of him in Raiders of the Lost Arc. Ford's Indiana Jones beats up a lot of bad guys, but one of the film's famous scenes shows him dispatching a swordsman with his trusty revolver. This moment is quite iconic, but it was originally planned for It Can Be a Complicated Choreographed Sword Fight, however, Ford was unable to film The Long's choreographed sequence for a rather embarrassing reason. Director Steven Spielberg filmed this section of the film in Tunisia and several cast members of the crew, including Ford, contracted a maverick after eating some spoiled food.

He was incredibly ill, so he was only able to film this scene in 10-minute bursts before having to rush to the little archaeologist's room to deposit some treasure. This fluid routine did not give Spielberg enough time to film the entire fight sequence, so he replaced it with This comically abbreviated version suggested by Ford resulted in an iconic fight sequence that Spielberg ultimately preferred and with one of the funniest side stories. of any scene in the history of cinema. Oh, snow. The Wizard of Oz is a magical movie with singing, dancing, and a winding Yellow Brick Road, yet the film's production is surrounded by a series of incredibly dark and dangerous

secrets

to boot, every time it snows in the film.

The dust that falls from the sky is actually a small, deadly cogenic C substance that you may have known called asbestos in the early 20th century. Asbestos was commonly used to create all sorts of things, from home insulation to vinyl flooring to artificial snow; However, in the 1980s, asbestos products were banned in much of the world after it became widely accepted that when asbestos dust is inhaled, the fibers can lodge inside. and scars your lungs and dramatically increases your risk of contracting certain types of cancer. answers: This means that the main cast of The Wizard of Oz were literally sprayed with carcinogens for hours and hours of filming, and in fact, two of them eventually died from asbestos-associated diseases.

Bulgar played the brainless Scarecrow in the film and contracted bladder cancer at age 83. Similarly, the actor behind the Cowardly Lion Bert La passed away at age 72 after contracting pneumonia that was exacerbated by undiagnosed cancer. Now both men were quite old when they died, so their deaths were not exactly premature, however, exposure to aestus significantly increases the chances of contracting the diseases that killed them, which is why today the snow sequence in The Magician of Oz is quite disturbing to watch as the cast link arms and jump through a blizzard made of the most sinister. Snow once filmed Killer's costumes, it is unclear if the asbestos snow actually harmed any members of Caster's team, however, The Wizard of Oz still hides other dark secrets.

The costume department, for example, made some pretty horrible decisions during production. The first example arrived. When they decided to use real lion belts to make the costume worn by the Cowardly Lion, the costume was a product of poaching and although the testimonies about how many lion skins they wore range from 1 to 5, the truth is that the thing was heavy. He weighed more than 60 pounds and was so thick that Bert Lar sweated profusely while performing, causing his wet fur to stink in the studio. This was pretty gross for Bert, but the costume department made much more dangerous mistakes during production when Buddy Evson. was cast as the Tin Man, he was painted with white face paint coated with aluminum powder, unfortunately, 9 days into filming, Epson started having difficulty breathing and eventually had to go to the hospital, where it turned out he was given oxygen for 2 weeks.

Inhaling aluminum dust can irritate the lungs, and Epson had such a severe reaction to the substance that he nearly died. The actor complained of lung ailments after this for the rest of his life, to which he directly attributed in his words that damn movie The studio replaced Epson. with an actor named Jack Haley who we see today in the movie and they used different Silver makeup from then on, however, they didn't exactly learn their lesson as they still used incredibly toxic makeup on Wicked Witches actress Margaret Hamilton, made this painting. Using copper, which can be extremely dangerous if it enters the bloodstream in significant quantities, although this became a serious problem during this scene involving a giant fireball.

They filmed this by placing a trapdoor under Margaret that allowed her to duck underground before the fireball exploded. However, during one take, the flames went out too soon, leaving Margaret with first and second degree burns on her face and hands. If Margaret's makeup got into these wounds, it could have been fatal, but the team was unable to clear the makeup without inadvertently pushing it around. It burned her, forcing them to remove it by pouring alcohol on Margaret's burned skin when this agonizing process was over. Margaret was rushed to the hospital but after only 6 weeks of recovery she had to return to the set and finish the film according to Margaret, if she left the production or sued the producers she would be blacklisted and would never have worked again.

Surprisingly, several studies have since found that exposure to copper can significantly increase the chances of developing Alzheimer's, something Margaret struggled with in the later stages of her life. means that although her burns healed completely with minimal scarring, the toxic copper makeup may have contributed to her death, there really is no Business Like Show Business radioactive set. The Conqueror is a 1956 historical drama in which John Wayne plays the now famous warlord Genas Khan. Casting an actor from Iowa to play a historical Mongol is questionable enough, but the film's main controversy was much more nuclear. They filmed the movie in the middle of the Escalante Desert, 137 miles downwind from a US nuclear weapons test site, the US government assured the producers said it was safe to film in the desert.

However, they conducted 11 bomb tests just a year earlier and the entire area was contaminated with radiation. The film's cast and crew spent months filming on location, un

knowing

ly interacting with radioactive soil. Water and air. This was incredibly dangerous and in the years after the film was made, 91 of the 220 people who worked on the film ended up developing cancer and 46 of them died from the disease and while today in the world one in two people will get cancer during their lifetime, The crew's mass diagnosis occurred just a couple of decades after filming, strongly suggesting a connection to nuclear testing.

Allin, 41% of the Conqueror's crew eventually contracted cancer and John Wayne himself died of stomach cancer at age 72. This is tragic, and it doesn't help that The Conqueror is widely considered one of the worst movies ever made, which means the actor's most criticized role might as well have taken his life, man. I bet he regretted taking that job. Shotgun scares. The Exorcist is known as one of the scariest films of all time and the film's success is due in part to the innovative directing techniques used by William Friedkin. Most directors arrive on set with folding chairs and megaphones.

However, Fredkin used a different tool while working on his film; during production, he began coming to work. Using a shotgun during breaks between takes, Fredkin filled his gun with blanks before his prop master fired it randomly into the air while the actors relaxed and waited to resume filming. These shots caught them by surprise, resulting in genuine screams of terror. even though the actors were on a break, Fredk recorded these reactions and used them in the movie when the characters had to react in scary moments, these realistic reactions made the movie even scarier, although I'm sure the actors actors were not very happy with Fredkin's.

Demonic antics incredible scenes The Exorcist isn't the only horror movie that was terrifying to film Candyman is a 1992 horror involving a titular boogeyman with a hook for a hand and a body full of bees. The producers insisted on using real bees while shooting the film which turned out quitehorrible for Candyman actor Tony Todd because of a scene where bees come out of the villain's mouth oh no, to film this horrible scene. The producers used 500 real bees to fill Tony's mouth in several different takes that the producers did. They didn't want Todd to get stung, so they only used bees that were 12 hours old, since they have less powerful stingers.

They covered Todd with pheromones that a queen bee emits, which would cause the bees in his mouth to think that the human actor was a queen of their hive and therefore not sting him, these precautions gave Todd a lot of protection, but he still had very afraid of being stung, so he convinced the producers that they should pay him $11,000 for each bite he received. This turned out to be a great financial move. Since Little Bees was quite busy and Todd was stung more than 23 times while filming the movie, this gave the actor a small payday on top of his regular contract, although I'm not sure $23,000 was enough to cover the amount. of therapy I received.

I would need after putting 500 bees in my mouth small plane Little People a true classic the 1942 romantic drama The most famous scene from White House involves two lovers talking on the tarmac while a group of people board a plane in the background the dramatic scene seems took place outdoors, however the scene was actually filmed inside a soundstage. This interior space was too small to fit a full-size airplane with the desired distance, so director Michael Curtis had a smaller plywood model of the airplane created for the illusion. of a full-size plane, unfortunately, there are regular extras that purport to prepare the plane in the background would have instantly exposed the true size of the model as they would have towered over it, so CIT came up with the idea of ​​casting several small people as extras, as their relative heights made the model appear as large as a full-size airplane.

The perspective trick was aided by fake fog and soft camera focus that makes the actual size of the plane almost impossible to make out while watching the film; However, when Ingred Bergman's character finally boards the plane, the camera cuts away before she can get too close because if she actually got close to the small wooden plane the illusion would be shattered, it would have been a pretty fun twist, though if you ask me, hidden high heels, the use of forced perspective in the White House catwalk scene is pretty impressive and it's not the only time Michael CIT made something small look bigger in the 1940s film Humphrey Bogart was one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, but he was incredibly insecure about his height and while filming Casablanca he wore shoes with giant lifts to make him look taller on screen.

Bogart was 5' 8 and his co-star Ingred Bergman was taller than him at 5'9, so when she wore high heels she towered over him, as a result Bogart was forced to wear these platform shoes to film certain scenes in the film. , which allowed him to look down. to ingred and says she's looking at you boy what do you call the boy Humphrey she's taller than you it's more like here she's looking at you while swinging on the styles of course several modern actors still wear custom shoes to improve your height on the screen. Tom Cruz is only 5'7 so he frequently wears platform shoes or stands on a box to appear taller than his female co-stars.

Similarly, when Daniel Craig played James Bond in Quantum, the silver-tongued spy had to wear platform shoes to film several scenes. Look, Craig is actually relatively tall. He was 5'10 and his bond girl, Gemma Aron, was slightly shorter than him at 5'7; However, whenever Aron wore heels in the film, she was taller than Craig, so the producers gave her shoe lifts because they claimed she looked better on screen with these changes. They're pretty superficial, but I'm not judging. I'm a white sphere of 23, so I'll definitely have to wear platform shoes if I ever appear on the big screen acting authentically.

Now You See Me is a 2013 film that follows a group of magicians who use their abilities to commit heists during the film. Isa Fisher's character performs a stunt in which she is wrapped in chains and locked inside a tank full of water before making an incredible escape. The stunt is pretty impressive, but it turns out that he actually almost drowned while filming it. When the producers set up the stunt, the tank was equipped with an emergency switch that Fiser could press to instantly empty the water; However, while she was performing the trick, she became entangled in her chains, preventing her from reaching the switch.

At this time, Fiser was stuck. In the tank for real, but when she started squirming in the water, the crew thought she was still acting, so no one tried to save her. Fortunately, Fiser managed to free himself from her and reach the emergency switch, emptying the tank and saving her own life. I used that fateful shot from the movie so that, as her character hits the tank and screams for help, Fischer was really scared for her life. We are talking about a convincing method of acting. Mobster, let's move on to another unusually realistic performance. Lis EPO was a former NYPD cop who had a brief acting career on The 9s, had minor roles in films like Predator 2, and his most famous role came in 1990 when he played a mobster named Fat Andy in Goodfellas.

His role in the film was small but he was arguably the best cast actor. of all time because in 2005 the police discovered that he really worked for the mafia and the corrupt cop had carried out several diabolical deeds for the Lukisi and Gambino crime families. He poo worked for the mafia for 9 years, so it's entirely possible that he ended up one day acting in Good Fellas before walking off the set and immediately engaging in some real organized crime. This is an extreme method of acting, but unfortunately the police were not impressed with his performance when EPO was arrested in 2005.

He was sentenced to life in prison plus 100 years later. Being charged with eight counts of the ultimate crime, he died in jail in 2019, but it definitely secured his legacy as one of the most authentic roles in dark documentary film. Let's continue with criminals in Hollywood as we review some documentary filmmakers. who committed a terrible crime to capture their images Nature documentaries allow us to learn more about the world around us, however, their information is not always completely accurate and there are many myths about animals that are already a fact. Lemmings are small rodents that live in arctic climates and there is a strange myth that states that they will often meet their demise by jumping over cliff edges in large groups for seemingly no reason.

This myth is false, but in 1958 a Disney documentary called White Wilderness claimed it to be true and showed footage of lemmings. jumping off a cliff into a treacherous body of water Wildlife experts immediately questioned how Disney captured the footage before determining that the documentary makers must have forced the Lemmings to jump off the cliff. An investigation with inside sources eventually confirmed this, revealing that Disney producers who had been aware of These Strange Myths Surrounding Lemmings had told their filmmakers that they had to capture footage of the event, so a group of lemmings was transported to the filming location and repeatedly pushed off a cliff in 1982, a Canadian investigative journalism program called The Fifth Estate publicly called out Disney. for the crime while explaining the origins of the strange lemming myth apparently when Lemmings are found they reproduce incredibly fast and their population can be 10 times larger during one winter season after this mating period some of the Lemmings will leave to try to find a new home. and they will follow each other across wide rivers and steep cliffs during these pilgrimages.

Lemmings often drown and fall to their deaths and it is believed that people who witnessed this behavior at one point mistakenly assumed that lemmings were voluntarily following each other to die for no reason. Apparent reason this myth soon became incredibly popular and unfortunately Disney went to great lengths to try to prove it to be true. I wonder what other atrocities the company has committed to make their movies. I mean, who really shot Bambi's mother? Genre that is based on lying to the audience. Found footage films are fictional films that are presented as real documentaries filmed by the characters in The Narrative.

One of the first notable found footage films was The Blair Witch Project, a horror that follows three students who make a documentary about a witch who lives in a forest in Maryland, the students stumble upon some scary things in the forest and when At the end of the film they disappear, leaving behind their cameras and footage. Now the movie was released in 1999 before anyone was familiar with found footage movies. The directors decided to create an elaborate marketing campaign that would make their unsuspecting audience genuinely believe that the film was real. Each of the three Blair Witch actors played altered versions of themselves in the film using their real names, allowing the producers to pretend that the actors were genuinely missing by publishing fake police reports, fake news reports, and posters. false missing persons on a website and the cast's contract stated that they were not allowed to make any public appearances until the film was released to ensure that the secret was not spoiled.

This campaign was so convincing that the actor's parents began receiving worried calls and condolence cards from friends who they completely believed had been lost, this meant that when the film was finally released a large portion of the audience truly believed they were watching a terrifying documentary. The film's semi-realistic narrative lacked any over-the-top monster movie moments and, as a result, the film was a box office success. Of course, the secret was revealed shortly after the film's release, when the actors came out of hiding and made public appearances on television. The producers received a lot of praise for their marketing campaign, however some people felt they had been misled and were really disappointed that the film wasn't real, which must have been difficult for the actors.

Imagine people telling you they are disappointed. You're Alive Sounds Just Like My Mother Boring Props When creating science fiction or fantasy movies, filmmakers often have to show weapons and vehicles that don't exist in the real world, so the props department has to get creative and build futuristic ones. or totally new. magical items from scratch, one of the clearest examples of this creativity can be found in 2019's Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker. During the film, certain viewers noticed that some of the futuristic grenades used were incredibly familiar and bore a striking resemblance to a children's toy called an echo microphone, the plastic microphone has a sphere on top with a distinctive pattern and when If you look closely at the Star Wars grenades, it's clear they were created by removing and spray painting the echo.

Mike's plastic ball turning a children's toy into a grenade is pretty clever, but this creative repurposing of everyday items like this dog toy spray-painted to make it look high-tech is actually very common in film and not In Star Wars alone in 1992, Michael Keaton starred in Batman Returns and his version of the superhero wore a shiny black suit. However, this costume was not as technological as it initially appears because while Keaton's Batman runs around Gotham and fights petty criminals, he does so in a pair of Jordans, it turns out that Batman's boots are a pair of Nike Jordan sixes that have been painted black and Customized with some Shin armor, the shoes were heavily altered making it difficult to spot them during the movie, however, they did not alter the Soul shoes, so when Batman put down crime in Gotham, he did.

Featuring the iconic Jumpman logo. I never knew the Dark Knight was such a sneakerhead that it's time to fly out of Hollywood and back to the real world, the movie secret that surprised you the most and do you know of any I missed? Let me know in the comments below and thanks for watching.
