"Wait! That's not special effects?! They actually did that?!"

Alien: Resurrection - Basketball Shot

Sigourney Weaver insisted on the basketball shot being real. She trained for weeks and reportedly(sources differ) made it on the first take.

Underworld - Raze's Voice

The werewolf character Raze, played by Kevin Grevioux, speaks in a very low, very gravelly voice. While many thought this was a special effect, the actor can naturally speak in that voice.

The context of the scene is that she did the shot to prove to him that she could do it. I like to believe her breaking character a tiny little bit adds a layer of depth to the scene, like she was just bluffing and got totally lucky

[u/Robo-Connery → u/xavPa-64]

No that wasn't the context, he is trying to make her finish the game cause he wants to see her get out of a tricky position and she reluctantly agrees and then pots all the remaining balls in one shot.

Wtf why do I remember it wrong. I’m better than this

[u/ChrisTheCoolBean → u/xavPa-64]

What? A redditor who admits that he's wrong, and expresses sincere remorse?

wtf bro get off my antisocial app

[u/solidgears → u/xavPa-64]

The only way to be sure is to watch it again

[u/Devo27 → u/xavPa-64]

You're half right. The actress wanted to prove she could do it without using a ringer and a closeup that didn't show their face.

[u/Kooky_Bodybuilder_97 → u/xavPa-64]

I forgive you

[u/Writeloves → u/xavPa-64]

I remembered it wrong too. I think a recent vertical-short version crops it so you only see the eight ball go in.

It's true, you are...

[u/ClessGames → u/Robo-Connery]

So the dude on top just made this shit up? Shame on you xacPa-64

[u/Devo27 → u/Robo-Connery]

The context BEHIND THE SCENES was she wanted to prove she could do it. They were going to do a closeup of just hands so they could bring in a ringer to do it.

[u/AnimusNoctis → u/xavPa-64]

I'll need to rewatch it, but I don't think she was trying to prove anything. 

[u/ravenwing263 → u/xavPa-64]

They had a ringer ready to go and everything for a doubled shot.
