Easily the most stunning of these not-faked shots isn't one that would have put its actors in harm's way, but that takes absolutely nothing away from the achievement.

In Spider-Man - as revealed by the DVD commentary - Peter Parker saves Mary Jane from a fall in the school cafeteria and manages to catch her lunch to show off his newly-empowered reflexes. And incredibly, the juggling act didn't use CGI.

Instead, Toby Maguire was given a sticky tray while the crew launched food into the air with a rig. It might have taken 156 takes to actually pull the stunt off, but it's incredible that they managed it at all!
