10 Hilariously Obvious Stunt Doubles Who Ruined Their Scenes

8. The Mummy Returns

Clearly not willing to get his luxurious locks wet for the crucial scene in which the pair of tomb raiders find their bracelet treasure, and are confronted by a rising tide of formidable water in return for their wanton thievery, Brendan Fraser simply opted out of filming the sequence at all.

Just before a giant wave crashes over the top of himself and on-screen wife Rachel Weisz, the pair pause and have a bit of a cuddle - a slightly inappropriate time for it, but no judgement - and we get a telling shot of this pair of deceivers, cunningly pretending to be the real stars of the film.

Oddly, the male stunt-double looks suspiciously like Jason Lee. Hopefully the pair got paid more for their impromptu and unmistakable appearance in the final film.
