30 Behind The Scenes Shots That Completely Change The Tone Of Great Movies

18. Never Feed It After Midnight Or Play With Its Wires

Gremlins had the distinction of not only being a really great movie for kids but for also being scary as hell at the same time. The cuteness of Gizmo the Mogwai was balanced out by the awful gremlins who would terrorize a typical American town during Christmas. Both Gremlins and its lighthearted sequel are remembered fondly many years later, with Gizmo being the character that has left the biggest impression. While it's a fairly well-known fact that Howie Mandel (currently of America's Got Talent, despite being Canadian) provided the voice for the cute and loved Gizmo, do we really need to see the team of people responsible for making Gizmo function? Many, many kids in the 1980s dreamed of owning a Mogwai and suspension of disbelief is hard to maintain after you've seen a couple puppeteers with Brillo pads for hair.

17. McDonald's: Where All Cannibals Eat

Hannibal Lecter is one of the most famous and iconic movie villains of all-time and his icy delivery of lines has made Anthony Hopkins one of the best actors of his generation. So the shot of a crew member feeding Hopkins french fries while dressed in Hannibal Lecter's famous restraints is somewhat odd and slightly disturbing at the same time. Hey, psycho killers have to eat too but are we really working this guy so long that we need to feed him fried trash while he's still strapped to a gurney? We can't let Dr. Lecter out of the mask long enough to order takeout? Does the crew member help him unbuckle his pants when he has to take a leak too? Aren't these guys in a union anyway?

16. It's A Set Within A Set Within A Set

The movie Inception has inspired a very long and spirited debate about certain aspects of the film. Obviously, the issue whether Leonardo DiCaprio was dreaming at the end during the reunion with his children has been widely discussed with various theories being put forth. The climax of the movie takes place in a snowy, mountainous base where our heroes engage in a firefight with the brain's defense mechanisms and plunge us further into the dream-within-a-dream plot (and confuse the hell out of some of us). The base looks like it's located at the end of the world in a barren wasteland where no one could survive outside for more than a few minutes without heavy snow equipment. In reality, it's a miniature version of the base surrounded by green screen and located in what looks like Poland in 1975.
