10 Insane War Movie Facts You Won't Believe Are Real

10. Shia LaBeouf Sliced His Own Face On The Set Of Fury

A savage depiction of tank warfare set against the backdrop of WWII's endgame, Fury is a masterful outing from David Ayer. An unflinching rendition of war's brutality and the indelible bonds formed between men during combat, the 2014 film is a visceral experience for the ages and one of the finest war movies of the 2010s.

No stranger to legal issues and controversies in general, Fury cast member Shia LaBeouf is not renowned for being the most level-headed individual in the world. While LaBeouf's style of method acting is well known at this point, the actor took his volatile antics to disturbing new levels in his efforts to portray tank gunner Boyd "Bible" Swan.

In addition to refusing to shower and having a tooth pulled to play Swan, LaBeouf left his cast mates aghast by eschewing prosthetic scars and slicing his face with a knife to give his character a convincing injury. The actor continued reopening the wound throughout filming, horrifying everybody around him to such an extent that production allegedly arranged for him to stay in separate accommodation to the remainder of the cast and crew.
