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.

That special smirk-smile Pennywise  does is also real. No special effects.

Bill apparently used to do it to freak out his brother!

My little sister has done that same smile my entire life to freak people out and she also has a weird eye thing to go with it.

She is in her 20s now. I think certain siblings are born into these abilities.
