10 Genuine On-Screen Acting Injuries You Probably Missed

4. The Candyman Hits Back

As if this song from the classic musical adaptations of Roald Dahl's fiendish children's book Charlie & The Chocolate Factory wasn't already creepy enough, the sequence carried a stinger for one extra in particular. Clearly annoyed by the sheer amount of pilfering and gluttony that is going on as he attempts to sing the children in his shop a nice song, the Candyman hits back by ignoring the fact that one of the children has her face precariously perched above the hatch in his counter and opening it anyway. The result is a neck-snap that looks suspiciously like the child has just endured considerable facial trauma, but that didn't stop the director, or the song, since it was clearly decided on the fly that the sequence had progressed too long for a costly reset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78gt7pfjlCU This latest revelation seems to confirm what conspiracy theorists have suspected all along - that the confectioners of Roald Dahl's world are no more than child haters, intent, under the stewardship of crazed loner Willy Wonka, on making the gluttonous children of the world pay for their sins and over-indulgence.
