10 Ways The Hunger Games Films Were Almost Completely Different

6. Injury Could Have Wiped Out The Main Cast Members

It's pretty bad news when one actor is injured during the making of a movie. But when the three leads of a hugely successful franchise are all injured on set, leading to possible filming delays? Well, that's when you start wondering if curses are a thing. Had any of these injuries been even slightly worse, the production of the films would have shifted dramatically. During filming for The Hunger Games, Lawrence misjudged a stunt so badly that her trainer thought she'd ruptured her spleen. Then, while goofing around on the set of Catching Fire, Lawrence accidentally kicked Hutcherson in the head and caused a severe concussion. And finally, during Mockingjay Part 1 filming, Hemsworth fractured his ankle, leading to some juggling of his schedule and redirection of his scenes.
