10 More Movie Moments IMPOSSIBLE To Watch The Same Way After This
2. Halle Berry Broke Her Ribs Mid-Fight Scene But Refused To Call It Quits - Bruised
As seen in the likes of the Rocky flicks and many other combat sports cinematic spectacles, it's not uncommon to hear of an actor being legitimately knocked silly in the midst of a pretend throwdown in-between the ropes.
And joining the likes of Sylvester Stallone and the gang in being genuinely broken in the thick of a fake fight shoot recently was Bruised director and star Halle Berry.
Coming up against as legitimate an MMA star as possible in UFC Women's Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko, during her character of Jackie "Pretty Bull" Justice's battle with Lucia "Lady Killer" Chavez late on, Berry's look of anguish and discomfort at a few points during the scene likely didn't require too much acting on her part.
In the star's own words on the matter when talking to Sports Illustrated about the flick, Shevchenko actually broke two of Berry's ribs on only the second day of the fight's shoot.
But instead of calling for a break in shooting to heal up the no doubt agonising injury, sensing the pair's schedules may not line up again for some time and that pausing could endanger the film being finished, Berry kept her injury to herself and simply kept on fighting... before heading straight to hospital once the bout had been wrapped!
What a woman.
