Only A True Movie Buff Knows Which Of These Behind-The-Scenes Movie Facts Are True And Which Are Fake

There was an intricate sword fight planned, but Ford was so sick on set that day, he [improvised](http://www.businessinsider.com/harrison-ford-reddit-ama-2014-4) the moment as a joke. Spielberg liked the bit so much, he kept it in the final film.

Real

In _Raiders of the Lost Ark_, Harrison Ford improvised shooting the swordsman, it was NOT in the original script.

I mean...William Shatner is pretty scary to begin with, TBH, and apparently the makers of _Halloween_ [felt the same](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdidzp_SdKk).

The famous mask worn by Michael Myers in _Halloween_ is actually just a William Shatner/ Captain Kirk mask painted white.

While Ed Helms is actually missing a tooth, [he lost it as a teenager](http://people.com/movies/ed-helms-explains-his-real-life-missing-tooth/) and had his dentist remove the fake tooth for filming.

Fake

Ed Helms lost his tooth during a stunt gone wrong on the set of _The Hangover_, so they wrote it into the story.

The film's director liked it so much he kept it in the final cut and felt like it was [in character](https://www.moviemistakes.com/main1018) for Princess Mia. He was right.

In _The Princess Diaries_, Anne Hathaway's character wasn't supposed to trip and fall on the bleachers, it was an accident, so both her and her co-stars reaction were genuine.

Trick question! The first American movie to show a toilet being flushed on-screen WAS by Hitchcock; however, it was _[Psycho](https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127937275)_, not _The Birds_.

The first American film to show a toilet being flushed on-screen was Alfred Hitchcock's _The Birds_.

Though the concept may feel like a _Twilight Zone_ episode, the film's plot was actually based on a rejected episode for [_The X-Files_](http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3349248/read-x-files-script-became-final-destination-exclusive/).

The entire plot of _Final Destination_ is actually based on a a rejected _Twilight Zone_ episode.

It's just a [prank](https://patch.com/connecticut/orange/bp--director-reveals-iconic-jewelry-box-scene-from-prdc0b61a08b), bro. According to the film's director, Roberts would show up to the set super-tired, and he thought it would be a funny, innocent way to wake her up. Her famous smile and laugh were 100% genuine.

Richard Gere improvised the now iconic scene in _Pretty Woman_ when he snapped the necklace case on Julia Roberts's fingers.

Cavill was 25 at the time of casting, and the studio was like, even for a vampire, that's [too old](https://moviepilot.com/posts/3621468). He was offered the role of Carlisle Cullen, but turned it down because he had already taken his role on _The Tudors_.

Henry Cavill was _Twilight_ author Stephenie Meyer's first choice for the role of Edward, but the studio thought he was too old for the role.

After the [unexpected success](http://www.vulture.com/2014/02/mean-girls-director-spills-10-juicy-stories.html) of _Freaky Friday_ in 2003, her team had them switch the roles so the public would continue to root for her. Lohan was upset, but ultimately okay with it because she "got more lines."

Lindsay Lohan was originally cast as Regina George in _Mean Girls_, but switched to the role of Cady because her team didn't want the public to associate her with a mean person.
