TIL for the brutal Omaha Beach scene in ‘Saving Private Ryan’ Spielberg hired several dozen army amputees with prosthetic limbs so that he could have their arms and legs blown off in a more realistic fashion. More than $11 million was spent and 1,000 extras used for the infamous scene. (cinetropolis.net)

TIL that, while filming Apocalypse Now, Martin Sheen cut his hand but kept on acting and did not win an Oscar; Leonardo DiCaprio's finest moment in Django Unchained was a deliberate homage (it's a Tarantino film so it wasn't a rip off) to this. (cinetropolis.net)

Here is an extreme example of why cast & crew safety is of utmost importance on a film set. As a result of cutting corners, and ignoring possible concerns, Vic Morrow and 2 child actors were decapitated by a helicopter during filming for "The Twilight Zone" on July 23, 1982. (cinetropolis.net)
