10 Incredible Movie Scenes You Won't Believe Weren't Faked

2. Indy Really Outran The Boulder - Raiders Of The Lost Ark

It should be ANOTHER rule of thumb for major Hollywood productions that no lead actor should be put in the direct line of danger - partiuclarly when they're known for... let's say bad luck when it comes to filming and real-life adventure activities.

Perhaps it's because it happened earlier in his career, but that consideration didn't seem to enter the minds of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas when they asked Harrison Ford to outrun a real 800-pound boulder for Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Sure, it wasn't actually made of stone, but if you get hit by 800 pounds of wood, plaster and fiberglass, you aren't walking away in good shape. And yet, Ford had to outrun the boulder legitimately for two takes, which has prompted Spielberg to admit in hindsight that he should never have allowed it to happen as Ford could easily have been injured, even with safety measures.

At least the real panic made the scene look even better.
