8 Famous Movie Scenes Created Completely By Accident
4. The Cinema Fire - Inglourious Basterds
Continuing the entries for nazi-killing badasses, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is the World War 2 story that sees a group of Jewish soldiers take matters into their own hands during Germany's occupation of France. Culminating in revenge that takes the form of burning a cinema down, the scene was actually a lot more real than it was supposed to be...
The fire they set actually spiralled out of control whilst shooting, leaving the product as a one-take wonder for Tarantino's grand finale. Almost killing the actors on set and requiring all those near the blaze to flee for their lives - it's a miracle no one actually died. Instead, those that were caught in the middle had to be treated for minor burns.
Eli Roth stated: "The fire comes up. They thought it was going to burn at 400 degrees centigrade and it burned at 1,200. That's like 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit! You see the swastika fall. It was not supposed to. It was fastened with steel cables; the steel liquefied."
