Sigourney Weaver is most well-known for her role as astronaut Ripley in the ‘Alien’ franchise. The role was first written as a male figure, however James Cameron decided a female as the lone survivor of the alien attack will shock the conservative audiences, who back then would not have expected a woman to survive amidst all the male deaths. Weaver is perhaps the most celebrated female protagonist of all time, for this character that challenged gender roles of the time.

‘Psycho’ was the first American film to show a toilet flushing on screen

Sean Connery and Harrison Ford play father and son, respectively, in the ‘Indiana Jones’ movie franchise. In real life they are only 12 years apart.

The Terminator sent back to kill John Connor in Terminator 2 briefly takes the appearance of Sarah Connor to trick John into coming out of hiding. We see the real Sarah right behind in one shot. It wasn’t an editing trick, Linda Hamilton’s own twin sister played the role of shape-shifting cyborg for this scene.

To get a real and accurate reaction to gravity’s pull in the famous Nakatomi Plaza falling scene in ‘Die Hard’, Alan Rickman was dropped a second too early. The expression on his face is very real.

In ‘The Dark Knight’, Michael Caine was so dumbfounded when he first saw Heath Ledger in his costume playing the role, he completely forgot his own lines.

The ‘Saw’ series is the highest grossing horror franchise in the world, making just a little under a billion dollars.

In the ‘Pirates of the Carribean’ series, actor Geoffrey Rush requested to always be standing on the right side of his more attractive cast mates, in particular Keira Knightley, as the English speaking audience automatically sees left to right.

Disney’s ‘John Carter’ was an epic failure, resulting in a loss of $200 million.
