17 things you (probably) didn’t know about the making of these movies that will blow your mind
Someone called @DJ_Link has been shedding a little light on the making of the movies and far from spoiling them it makes us want to watch them all over again.
Well, all of them apart from The Raid 2.

In The Matrix they couldn't hide the camera in doorknob reflection, so the camera still shows but they tried to disguise it with a coat to match Morpheus tie. pic.twitter.com/LB6V8aNT2i

In Jurassic Park (1993) for the famous water cup scene, Steven Spielberg wanted timed concentric rings, starting from the center, moving its way out. For this they placed a guitar string through the car and had someone lay under it and pluck the string pic.twitter.com/YiUuC2482b

In Spider-Man (2002) scene where Peter Parker catches the tray and objects wasn’t CGI. Tray had a sticky substance so stuff wouldn’t roll when falling but Tobey Maguire had to catch them, it took 156 takes. The studio wanted this scene cut because of how long it was taking. pic.twitter.com/JZzfbjIPgc

In Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) the bread scene is a practical effect that took the team 3 months to come up with. They molded an inflatable bread, it was deflated underneath the liquid and then slowly inflated it and sucked out the liquid with vacuum pumps pic.twitter.com/SVKt4zC9WY

In 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) the floating pen sequence was made by gluing the pen with transparent duct tape to a giant glass and just moving it around, camera focused on center so you can’t see the edges. pic.twitter.com/1BYwRkmJOl

Zazu in Lion King (1994) said Scar would make a handsome throw rug, in Hercules (1997) you can see him throwing a pelt that looks exactly like Scar pic.twitter.com/ss8OPyVUv7

Terminator 2 (1991) had some practical effects with the help of Linda Hamilton’s twin sister. When Sarah cuts a hole in T-800 head it’s a model of Schwarzenegger’s head in the foreground, the real Schwarzenegger plays his own reflection, and Linda’s twin sister mimics her moves pic.twitter.com/RcTrCDsW6P
