Plenty of methods were used to make sure actress Kate Winslet wasn’t hurt during this dramatic and dangerous scene. There are plenty of crash mats underneath her, an emergency crew on standby in case she does suffer an injury, and, even if actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s grip should slip, people at top next to him will be able to keep her from falling.
Does this do away with a little bit of the movie magic? Sure it does, but we’re sure that Kate Winslet appreciates all the effort put into keeping her whole.
The Real Godfather
'The Godfather' is one of the most famous movies of all time. It's a mob epic, the first of its kind, and features tons of huge names such as Al Pacino, James Caan, Diane Keaton, and the legendary Marlon Brando as the Don himself, Vito Corleone.
There wasn't much need for special effects in this movie, other than gunshots and fight scenes. One of the famous stills from the movie is Don Corleone, dressed in a tuxedo to celebrate his daughter's wedding, listening as another man whispers in his ear. Brando's presence in the movie set him as the king of the film.
The Movie's Head Honcho
Marlon Brando may have received nothing but respect from the other characters of the movie, but when the cameras weren't rolling, director Francis Ford Coppola was in charge. The two big names of this movie are seen here, Brando in his famous outfit and cheeks stuffed with cotton to get the memorable Don Corleone voice, and Coppola standing behind him in a seventies outfit, haircut, and facial hair.
These two figures clashed during the film, with Brando needing cue cards for his lines a lot of the time, since he refused to memorize them. Yet, despite this tumult, the movie remains a classic.
Back in the Desert with the Robots
We've already seen what it was like for little Kenny Baker inside his R2-D2 suit, but what about his golden friend C-3PO? Hanging out with Jedi, rogues, and princesses has got to be tiring work, especially if you're wearing a metal suit in the hot sun of the desert.
Actor Anthony Daniels likely had to take frequent breaks to keep from overheating, but what if he just needed a little something to wet his whistle? Don't worry, the people on set have something to help with just that.
Take a Big Drink, Daniels
If the actor inside C-3PO needed to get a quick drink but didn't want to have to pull himself out of his suit, he had a cup with a straw – classic. We're not sure exactly what's in the cup, but it was likely just water, since the hot outfit and hotter sun probably led to plenty of sweating.
He's drinking right through his C-3PO mouth, which tells us a little something about how the suit was made. We're beginning to wonder if, looking close enough, you could see Anthony Daniels' mouth moving during his lines.
