* Creator/BrandonLee somehow managed to cut his hand on a piece of sugarglass during the pawnshop scene in ''Film/TheCrow''.

** Moore had a near-miss on ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. He decided at the last minute that it would be much more dramatic if he was sitting in the chair, instead of standing behind it when the gun underneath the dining table was fired. The special effects team had only reinforced the back of the chair for the original planned shot, which meant Moore risked serious injury if he didn't leap away in time.

* Creator/TomHanks cut his leg while filming ''Film/CastAway''. Two weeks later, the swelling on his leg persisted, and Hanks was confined to a hospital for three weeks to treat a staph infection that could have killed him from blood poisoning.

* Creator/VivianLeigh was pregnant during the production of ''Film/CaesarAndCleopatra'' and unfortunately miscarried after tripping over while filming a scene. Leigh suffered a mental breakdown -- exacerbated by her bipolar disorder -- as a result and filming had to be paused for five weeks so she could recover.

* ''Film/TheGeneral'':

** While filming the trolley stunt for ''Film/CarryOnAgainDoctor'', Creator/JimDale was taken to hospital after his arm repeatedly banged against a delivery trolley, causing him to have an emergency operation. The next day, he was back at work doing a stunt where a hammock falls through a wooden floor.

* ''Film/{{Stripes}}'': Creator/JohnLarroquette accidentally broke his nose after he put his head through a glass door. The injury was so bad, that he nearly sliced his nose off. It required a lot of makeup to cover it up in the film and he still has the scar to this day.

* Production on ''Film/MoulinRouge'' halted for two weeks after Creator/NicoleKidman fractured two ribs and injured her knee while rehearsing a dance routine. Many of the scenes where she is seen only from the chest up, including "a real actress," were shot while she was in a wheelchair.

* Creator/ThomasJane accidentally stabbed Wrestling/KevinNash for real while filming their fight scene in ''Film/ThePunisher2004''.

* Of all the movies Creator/JackieChan suffered injuires for, ''Film/ArmorOfGod'' was the one where he was the closest to death. Jackie tried to jump from one tree branch to another, a rather simple stunt, but missed and landed on his head, suffering a brain hemorrhage, a broken skull and jaw, and several lost teeth. He had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency brain surgery and now has a plastic plug on his skull.
* Cristina Stanovici, an extra on the cancelled ''Batgirl'' movie, sued Warner Bros. in 2023 after receiving life-threatening injuries on-set in 2022. During a nighttime scene filmed in Glasgow, a camera-carrying motorcycle crashed into Stanovici, resulting in multiple serious injuries; this included a broken femur, broken tibia plateau, broken thumb, fractured pelvis and head lacerations. Stanovici had to undergo multiple surgeries; during the initial operation she needed five blood transfusions and nearly died. Stanovici's leg was permanently damaged; a metal rod had to be inserted into her femur and she was left with chronic pain and mental trauma from the incident; she told an interviewer that the initial recovery was so physically and mentally stressful there were times she felt it would be "easier" if she'd died.

* Creator/ChowYunFat was injured during the filming of the church shootout in ''Film/TheKiller'', when a piece of plaster cut his face, missing his eye by an inch. You can see the cut during the part where Jeff and Li talk before leaving the church.
