Here's Something You Never Knew About Your Favorite Movie

That "candy" flower cup that Gene Wilder bit into in _Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory_ was actually made of [wax](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401736/), so he'd have to chew it and spit it out after each take.

The "candy" flower cup

Michael Caine was so [terrified](https://www.thoughtco.com/michael-caine-discusses-the-dark-knight-2430503) of Heath Ledger's Joker in _The Dark Knight_ that he literally forgot his lines in the first scene they shot together.

The terrifying Joker

In _The Princess Diaries_, Mia wasn't supposed to trip and fall on the bleachers. That was just a [clumsy](http://www.moviemistakes.com/main1018) moment by Anne Hathaway, but director Garry Marshall liked it and kept it in the film.

The slippery bleachers

You can see Jennifer Jason Leigh scream and look at the crew in the shot after it happens.

The smashed antique guitar

Richard Gere [improvised](https://patch.com/connecticut/orange/bp--director-reveals-iconic-jewelry-box-scene-from-prdc0b61a08b) the scene in _Pretty Woman_ when he snapped the necklace case on Julia Roberts' fingers, so her reaction was totally natural.

The improvised necklace case

Sylvester Stallone wanted to make sure the boxing scenes looked real in _Rocky IV_, so he instructed Dolph Lundgren to actually hit him. A punch to the chest left Stallone in [intensive care](http://www.aintitcool.com/node/30932) for eight days.

The stunt gone wrong

Steven Spielberg refused to collect a paycheck for _Schindler's List_, saying it would have been "blood money." He made sure all profits were [returned](http://www.nytimes.com/1995/09/24/us/from-schindler-s-list-a-jewish-mission.html) to the Jewish community.

No paycheck for Spielberg

Stanley Kubrick destroyed almost all of his props and sets from _2001: A Space Odyssey_ because he didn't want them to be used in any "lesser" science fiction films.

Destroyed props and sets

Michelle Pfeiffer literally had to be [vacuum-sealed](http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1671820/how-batman-returns-made-michelle-pfeiffers-catwoman-suit-so-tight) into her Catwoman costume for _Batman Returns_, which made it very difficult for her to move and breathe while filming.

The vacuum-sealed costume

The movie _Titanic_ cost [more](http://www.factswt.com/budget-film-titanic-larger-ship-itself/) money to film than the original ship cost to build.

The expensive movie

Chris Farley was originally Shrek

_Psycho_ was the [first](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127937275) movie to ever show a toilet being flushed.

The history-making scene

In order to make _The Nightmare Before Christmas_, it'd take the crew [seven](http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/188767%7C0/The-Nightmare-Before-Christmas.html) whole days to produce just one minute's worth of stop motion footage.

The painstaking stop motion

O.J. Simpson was almost cast as the Terminator, but James Cameron thought his persona was "[too pleasant](http://www.ew.com/article/2014/07/17/oj-simpson-terminator-james-cameron)" to portray such a dark character.

This original casting

Ed Helms was actually missing a tooth in real life (he got a permanent implant when he was a teenager), so he had his dentist [remove](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20283408,00.html) it while filming those toothless scenes in _The Hangover_.

Ed Helms' real missing tooth

Tony Todd had real, live bees in his [mouth](http://screenrant.com/tony-todd-interview-hatchet-final-destination-robf-80905/) while filming that famous scene in _Candyman_.

The real bees

Julie Andrews was [flung](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwx8626hReo) into the mud every time the helicopter passed her while filming that iconic hilltop scene in _The Sound of Music_. A camera operator was strapped to a helicopter in order to get the shot, and it had been raining all day. They shot the scene half a dozen times.

A filthy Julie Andrews

In _How the Grinch Stole Christmas!,_ Jim Carrey had to complete [torture-endurance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXAv8RXmsrc) training from the CIA to help him get through the daily 8.5 hours of Grinch makeup.

The torture-endurance training

The "snowstorm" that took place in the poppy field scene of _The Wizard of Oz_ was actually [asbestos](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/crazy-tricks-early-filmmakers-used-fake-snow-180961522/) falling on the actors.

The deadly movie prop

Daniel Radcliffe's _Harry Potter_ stunt double, David Holmes, was [paralyzed](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/harry-potter-stuntman-david-holmes-3279214) while testing a stunt for the movie. Radcliffe later hosted a celebrity auction to pay for Holmes' medical bills.
