10 Movie Deaths Not Even The Actors Saw Coming

It's not like the entire cast were left in the dark about this unexpected death in 1999's dark comedy superhero satire Mystery Men, as the cult comedy wasn't shrouded in mystery (ho-ho) during filming. But one ELEMENT of a particular key death was kept hidden from one actor specifically for impact.

Poor Janeane Garofolo was nonetheless the victim of a pretty vicious shock when her character was intended to check in on the condition of her co-star.

When it seems Captain Amazing has been offed, Garofolo's the Bowler trepidatiously reaches out for his hand, only for the appendage to fall clean off and garner a screech of horror from her.

Which is entirely genuine, as Garofolo had no idea the prop was designed to do that. Definitely dead, then.
