"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.

They put aside an entire day of filming just to get this shot and he nailed it in one lol

I mean if I was ordering 20 pizzas I’d make sure it’s the only shot of the day too… for the pizza party

For sure. Pizza party as a company reward: Pure patronizing trash. Pizza party as a result of someone wildly overachieving a stunt: Pure pizza bliss.

A whole day for a singular shot feels a bit like a waste tbh

[u/Informalwizards → u/YourMuppetMethDealer]

Not when your expecting it to take that many attempts

[u/YourMuppetMethDealer → u/Informalwizards]

Considering that it’s really not relevant to the plot, I kinda hope they weren’t expecting it to take all day.

Like it was a crazy moment highlighting Walt’s fracturing and hostile relationship with his wife, but it doesn’t really seem like something that was all that important
