30 Behind The Scenes Shots That Completely Change The Tone Of Great Movies
9. Pumping Iron Predator
OK, seriously...could this guy be anymore of a dork? He is very aware he's getting his picture taken while working on the iconic Predator mask, so this is not a candid shot that can be forgiven for being in the "heat of the moment." Whoever took this picture said, "Hey, Mr. Weird T-shirt Guy, I want to take a picture of you working on the Predator mask because it looks really cool." His response had to go something like "Oh, awesome. You know what, let me grab my dumbbell and bust out a couple curls while you take the picture, the ladies will love it!"
8. The Four Foot Drop Of Doom
The climax of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace has Obi-Wan Kenobi facing off against the evil Darth Maul after Maul had killed Kenobi's mentor, thus robbing of us more Star Wars movies featuring Liam Neeson. That is a sin that cannot be repaid, so Kenobi does the right thing by cutting Maul in half and sending him plummeting to his death down a large chasm (why do spaceships/the future always have large chasms with no safety rails around them? That seems like a safety violation of some sort). So Darth Maul (or at least his stunt double) falls down the huge opening and lands in the comfortable embrace of the helpful blue mats.
7. "Use The Mattresses, Luke."
George Lucas must really like using padding because here we are again with another Star Wars character supposedly dangling inches from death thanks to a giant chasm but thankfully, this time, we have a pile of dirty mattresses to save Luke Skywalker from certain death. Did George just go dumpster diving for various old mattresses? You have to think that the 1970s weren't the cleanest period of time in history, so the smell coming from the pile of stink may have made Mark Hamill think twice about his career as an actor. Lucas has made $872,487,823,810 from the movie (give or take), so who are we to criticize?
