20 Behind-The-Scenes Facts From The Hunger Games

Despite the dark subject matter of the franchise, there were a lot of fun and games to be had on the set of the films.

During shooting of the first film, Jennifer Lawrence unexpectedly started a prank war between her and Josh Hutcherson by accidentally kicking him in the head and giving him a concussion. Perhaps not her smartest move.

Either way, it led to a lot of fooling around between takes. Their giggles even interrupted filming a couple of times, such as in the scene where Peeta tries to strangle Katniss in Mockingjay Part 1. It’s said that they had to film multiple takes just because the two actors couldn’t keep a straight face.
