6. The Matrix
You know what's better than one man flying fakely in the air? Two men flying fakely in the air. Brownie points for the fake guns. Juxtapose a nice fake tube-station or something in the background. Add fakely inspirational/dangerous music. And you have a perfectly fake action scene! But the grimace is certainly real. That isn't one of the best positions to have your privates stuck in.
5. Gojira
The irony isn't lost on me when I see a Japanese man dressed as Godzilla; or as we Asians proudly call it - Gojira - due to our inability to pronounce the 'dz' sound. He stomps forward majestically, crushing little invisible people and plastic houses in its way. The movie deserves respect for managing to pull this off way back in 1954. Though there are moments where the falsity becomes palpable; there are others where it almost seems real.
4. Kill Bill
Trust Tarantino to come up with the most ingenuous ways of deceiving people. He does it with style and panache, where even a sneak-peek behind the curtain overwhelms you with respect. This scene, for instance, took some time for me to be able to comprehend. And even when you do understand it, you cannot help but revere the guy who manages to come up with something like this.
3. The Exorcist
Everyone remembers little Regan and the horrifying ghost she turned into. Her face infested with lacerations, her eyes two pearly white orbs, her skin decayed as dinosaur fossils and her skin pale as the moon. Then she pulls off her little head turning stunt that left audiences utterly stunned. But to see her smile innocently like this and to watch a man apply make-up on her face takes a lot away from the movie. It reaffirms the human touch in such films. Honestly, I think horror films shouldn't take such pictures. Ever.
