Another tale of an actor's experience probably changing the way you view a movie moment, James Lorinz had a rough ol' time filming the ending of 1990 horror black comedy Frankenhooker.

Frank Henenlotter's tale of young scientist Jeffrey Franken trying to recreate his deceased girlfriend using the exploded pieces of hookers ends with (spoilers!) the lad having his own head popped on top of a hooker's body in order to bring him back to life.

That's a lot of information to take in - but wait, there's more!

It turns out, in order to achieve the effect of Jeffrey's head being visible on top of the female body, Lorinz had to be stuck on a table for a whopping five hours. In fact, he was even left with no choice but to pee in coffee cups when he needed to go due to being firmly secured in that table/prosthetic body combo. The things actors do for their art, eh...

So, the next time you introduce a pal to this shocking conclusion, it'll be impossible to not feel a little bit sorry for poor Lorinz here and the awkward coffee cup moments he ultimately went through to bring this "unorthodox" ending to screens.
