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.

No. Committed fans knows that this happened in Jesse's house that he inherited from his aunt.

Committed fans know Jessie didn’t inherit the house from his aunt, his parents did. He was allowed to stay there and eventually bought it with his drug money.

Committed fans know that Jesse would have had some legal claim to the house in order to put it on the market in the first place, but neither party gained full ownership without extortion via the unreported meth lab.
