One of the better scenes in Tarantino's wartime actioner, this one involves many Nazis burning to death, and it almost involved the cast receiving the same fate too. You see, for reasons unknown to the world, Tarantino thinks the best way to show a theater on fire is to actually set one on fire and then put your lead actors, like Eli Roth, in the middle of it for authenticity. The flames were never supposed to be closer than 25 feet to the actors, but we know fire is unpredictable and within half a minute, the flames were licking the actors perilously. However, as we know from previous items in this list, money is always the undermining factor in these decisions, and since Eli Roth knew they only had one set to burn down, he carried on with the scene. As you can see in the film, the fire got incredibly close to the actors and according to Roth, the platform they were on was seconds away from collapse. Luckily for him though, Tarantino let him have the next day off to recover. What a nice guy.
