10 Film Scenes That Broke The Camera

10. Catwoman Rides The Batpod - The Dark Knight Rises

And so begins our chronicle of Christopher Nolan's historic abuse of those incredibly expensive IMAX camera he's so lovingly advocated for throughout his career.

For the gonzo climax of The Dark Knight Rises, Anne Hathaway's stunt double filmed a shot where she rides the Batpod out of the courthouse and down the steps, seemingly after killing Bane (Tom Hardy).

And yet, the stunt double ended up crashing head-on into a bulky IMAX camera, sending it hurtling out of the operator's hands and smashing to the floor.

Unlike most of the other entries on this list, there's even video footage of the accident in question, though as it confirms, there were thankfully no injuries sustained as a result.

All the same, given that IMAX cameras cost around $500,000 each and there are just a handful of them in circulation at any one time, that's quite the expensive mistake, regardless of whose feet you lie the blame at.

To make it even worse, this shot doesn't even appear in the final film, as after Catwoman kills Bane, we don't see her drive down the courthouse steps at all.
