20 Things You Didn't Know About Mortal Kombat

Despite having little combat experience prior to starring in the movie and being better known as Miss Teen USA 1990 at the time, Bridgette Wilson decided to perform all of her own stunts while shooting the film, refusing the offer of a stunt double.

Though Wilson ultimately performed everything expected of her, disaster nearly struck when she dislocated her shoulder while filming a fight scene.

However, medical personnel were able to reset her shoulder on set without a trip to the hospital, after which she continued the rest of the shoot injury-free.

Considering the major risks star injuries present to a production, it's little surprise that studios so often balk at actors not called Tom Cruise wishing to perform their own stunts.
