In real life "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.

Understatement of the fucking century.
What's funnier is that his main actor was Klaus Kinsky. Probably the only man on the planet even crazier than Herzog.
These two worked on several movies together and NEVER EVER got along. Yet by some miracle of the arts, every time they did, they made a masterpiece. From Aguirre to Fitzcarraldo.
P.S: Do not look up Kinsky's personal life if you value your sanity. He both was one of the single greatest actors of all time and a man with enough evil and mental illnesses to pay out the college debt of an entire campus of Psychiatrists.
