It Will be Easier Than You Think
This was another famous film where it, and its sequel, were made before the wide-spread advent of computer graphics, which means that miniature models are the name of the game. While the Marshmallow Man is still a hefty size, the road it’s stomping through is pretty tiny, and the cars on it might as well be matchbox cars.
It was filmed with the pinnacle of techniques and technologies at the time, and viewers still enjoy watching this destructive force spread gooey marshmallow fluff across the city – it’s impossible to tell they used miniatures at all.
The Monster Unmasked
It's common knowledge these days that the original Godzilla was just a man in a rubber suit. One of the two actors was Haruo Nakajimo, who we see in this photo getting his monster steps down just right. This sort of image makes the originals a little less frightening, since it isn't a real monster stomping through a real city, but a regular guy playing around with a model built specifically for the movie.
Still though: those legs. Nowadays filmmakers are able to make much more realistic-looking monsters thanks to CGI, but it's hard to forget that they were once played by regular people.
The Form Has Been Chosen
Here's another famous film from the eighties that you're sure to recognize: This is a shot from the climax of the first 'Ghostbusters', where Gozer the Gozerian, the ancient Sumerian deity, becomes the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in order to wreak destruction on the world of mortals. The Ghostbusters must put all their wits and ingenuity together to find a way to banish this evil creature back to the pits from whence it came.
The crowd flees in terror as this Marshmallow Man stomps through New York City. How will the Ghostbusters possibly defeat this menace?
A Classic Blockbuster Bromance
'Ben-Hur' is a famous, long, epic movie from 1959 that features Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd as the two lead roles. The characters began as childhood friends, but their paths in life led them to becoming mortal enemies.
The film's most famous scene, and surely the one most people can recall, is the incredible chariot race between Judah Ben-Hur and Messala. It's a scene that is full of classic action and amazing stunts, but the stories behind the scene might be even more incredible than the scene itself. Plenty of real chariots were destroyed, and over a hundred and fifty horses died.
Vespa Smiles on Set
Thankfully, the two lead actors remained uninjured, and are even seen here riding on a Vespa with big sunny smiles on their faces. The best ability of an actor is to pretend to be enemies with someone while enjoying their company in real life – we've already seen it a number of times on this list.
Heston and Boyd worked hard to film what turned into one of the most famous movies of all time, but they also spent some time hanging out as friends between the dangerous shots. We're always happy to see actors smiling together.
