The smoke alarm in Aliens is actually a Tomy Dingbot placed upside down and painted silver.

What I love most about this is I still have one of those robots that sits on my desk.

Saw this on Buzzfeed unsolved a while back and it's definitely ominous but interesting, that one of the extras in Jaws may have been a Jane-doe in a local unidentified persons case, as they had a real resemblance. A theory proposed by Stephen King's son I believe. Unsure if they ever proved this to be true, but nonetheless interesting.

Jurassic Park" is renowned for its groundbreaking use of animatronics, but it's interesting how real-life issues added to the film's authenticity. Especially in the scene where the T-Rex terrorizes the kids in the car – the actors' screams were real, triggered by an unplanned breakage of glass by the animatronic T-Rex.

This unforeseen event not only startled the young actors but also brought an unexpected level of realism to the scene, making it one of the most memorable in the movie.

In call me by your name there is a scene where Elio is sitting waiting for the love interest Oliver in the dark and a big blue light sweeps across the screen. This was because it was the movie was filmed on film and the roll got damaged or something but the director thought it added to the ambience of the scene, so left it in there with no reshoot needing to be done ^-^

Also the infamous 'peach' scene had a lot of takes, with both actors taking the scene in a varied direction every time!
