6. The Godfather
The legend of Hollywood, Marlon Brando refused to do the one thing that every actor must excel at; memorizing dialogues. This left directors in a huge dilemma between the A-list actor and the necessity to learn lines.

7. Men In Black
Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were filming an intense scene where their car went upside down in mid-air inside a tunnel. Unable to control his fart in the excitement or the odd posture, Will released himself in the car. He was extremely apologetic to Tommy though he didn’t show discomfort. However, as soon as the rolling stopped, Tommy jumped out of the car. Even the director has jokingly complained about Will’s farts.
8. Avengers: Endgame
This is one of the most hilarious behind-the-scenes moments ever. Most of the MCU actors had reunited in the final scene to pay their tributes to Tony Stark. One of the actors was Samuel L Jackson who plays a key role in the franchise as Nick Fury. But Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays Pepper Potts in the Iron Man trilogy was shocked to see Samuel and kept asking everyone why he was on the sets. Apparently, Paltrow had no idea, until then, that Samuel was part of the studios.
Even Tom Holland didn’t know why Michelle Pfiefer was on the set in and the group photo. Haven’t Gwyneth and Tom seen other Avenger movies?
9. Scream
According to sources, the crew of Scream didn’t use props as telephone nor did they remember to disconnect the actor’s calls during a scene. Drew Barrymore kept calling 911 and hung up right after a scream. This went on several times for numerous takes until the cops called back and asked what was going on.
10. Predator
Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered one of the most muscular men and Hercules of Hollywood. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t cheat on his journey. Arnold and professional wrestler and actor, Jesse Ventura placed a bet on their biceps. The one with the shorter measure would buy the other a bottle of champagne. So, Arnold replaced Jesse’s tape with a fake one and won the contest.
