With the reveal of something as simple as a tiny piece of behind-the-scenes information, the way you take in certain big-screen moments can change forever.

Sometimes, having this knowledge at the forefront of your mind can actually help enhance your movie-watching experience, with the ridiculous levels of subtle detail infused into the shot in question turning a good scene into a great one.

On other occasions, the clocking of a hilariously dodgy continuity error can leave you giggling for all the wrong reasons.

And then there are those facts and revelations that simply just give you a newfound appreciation for the star's involved in certain cinematic sequences.

Whatever category the following ten entries fall into, they can all unquestionably be classed as tidbits and factors that make it just about impossible to watch these scenes the same way ever again.

Whether a star just felt the need to fulfil a life-long wish in the heat of the moment, a director found a way to sneakily make a cameo appearance under your nose, or there was more going on in the background than you likely initially realised, each of these reveals will all alter the way you view certain movie scenes forevermore.

10. The Phone Call Scenes Were Shot In A Very Unique Way (Air)

Over the course of Ben Affleck's latest directorial effort by the name of Air, the likes of Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Jason Batemen, and Chris Messina can all be found screaming, joking, and delivering all-timer monologues into a telephone at various points.

And while witnessing a star producing epic work into a handset isn't exactly anything new, the way in which Affleck went about shooting the film's many telephone chats most certainly was.

According to Damon when talking to Yahoo! Entertainment, rather than having the actor on the other end of the line call in from home or forcing someone to perform the scene with a script supervisor on the day of their close-up, Affleck brought both ends of the conversation to set at the same time.

In the case of Damon and Messina's hilarious back-and-forths as Nike talent scout Sonny Vaccaro and sports agent David Falk, respectively, the two actors were placed down the hall from one another, meaning that the director could easily direct both stars during the shoot and the actors could "overlap and scream and play" as Messina put it.

Knowing the various talented souls involved here were being shot at precisely the same time definitely changes the way you view these sudden bursts of phone energy and explains why these sequences crackled in the way they ultimately did in the end.

And it was this rather ingenious call that led to unexpected improvised gold in the form of Messina's "I will eat your nuts!" line, too.
