* In Disney's animated ''Disney/AliceInWonderland'', Kathryn Beaumont once admitted to an interview that her laughter during the scene where Alice is tickled by the flamingo wasn't believable. So during one later take, the director tickled Kathryn at the moment and the resulting fit of giggles during that scene is entirely genuine.

** When filming [[Film/TheShining his adaptation]] of Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheShining'', he verbally abused Shelley Duvall and notoriously made her do numerous takes of a single scene in order to render her performance as Jack Torrance's meek and increasingly terrified and hysterical wife Wendy more compelling. He similarly made Scatman Crothers do hundreds of takes of scenes until eventually Crothers broke down crying and yelled "What do you ''want'' from me, Mr. Kubrick?" As Crothers's character has comparatively little screen time this might be less an example of this trope and more of Kubrick just being his usual PrimaDonnaDirector self. Also, as the film's making of explains, Creator/JackNicholson's AxCrazy performance is partially influenced by the infinite reshoots, given how after 20 takes an actor gets tired and ''really'' [[EvilIsHammy hams up.]]

The kid had no idea at all he was in a horror movie; he thought he was just filming a movie about a family that lived in a hotel, because Kubrick kept him away from anything scary...including Kubrick's normal directing style.

Tarsem had infamously been calling CUT right before Roy was supposed to react to waking up meaning Pace had by the 30+ take built up quite a lot of tension. When Tarsem finally let the scene continue after Alexandria draws the curtain back, Lee unleashed Teh Rage and lost his f** ing mind, screaming hysterically (in character). The child actress was totally terrified and genuinely wet herself in fear. Tarsem, in the commentary described her as being like a giraffe; when scared she goes very still and pees. He also cast her after meeting her, at which point she barely spoke a word of English and telling a fellow crew member 'We have to make this film now, in six months she'll be a different person' All the hospital scenes were shot in sequence so that Alexandria's grasp of English developed naturally, taking her from one or two confused words a scene to complete English language conversations with Pace.

And for the scene in question, where Andrea brings The Book over to Miranda's apartment, her anxiety and tenseness isn't acting. According to the DVD commentary, Hathaway was nervous to the point of being terrified about working with Streep.

** When the ceiling of the burning library collapses on Jorge, it is actually solid oak that hits the actor, the 81-year old Feodor Chaliapin. The set people had overlooked that part of the script and hadn't obtained lightweight balsa wood to hit the actor, and were only reminded of it on the morning of the shoot by director Jean-Jacques Annaud. So, not having any balsa wood on hand, they set up the ceiling collapse using solid oak. The scene was filmed, and this enormously heavy piece of wood lands on Chaliapin. Annaud realizes what has happened and shouts "Cut!" and everyone rushes to see if Chaliapin is all right. Chaliapin's first words were, "Is the take OK?" Annaud asks, "Never mind that. Are you all right?" Chialapin replies, "I'm 81 years old. I can die. Is the take OK?", which probably counts as a real life CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
