The Empire Strikes Back

The Empire Strikes Back, along with all the other Star Wars films, was known for the trademark text that rolled across the screen at the beginning of each movie. The year 1980 was truly encapsulated in the photo above, featuring a physical copy of the introductory screen with a camera hanging above to make the effect look superfluous.

The More You Know

While filming Rocky IV, Dolph Lundgren punched Sylvester Stallone's chest so hard, his heart slammed against his breastbone, causing it to swell and his systolic blood pressure shot to over 200. Filming was halted as Stallone was flown to a nearby hospital and spent eight days in intensive care.
In the movie 'The Hangover', no effects or prosthetics were created for Stu's missing tooth. Actor Ed Helms never had an adult incisor grow, and his fake incisor was taken out for the parts of filming where Stu's tooth is missing.
The location of Tony Stark’s mansion in Iron Man is the same cliff from Planet of the Apes where the Statue of Liberty is sticking out from the sand.
Within 3 days of release The Hunger Games has become the highest grossing film for production company Lionsgate.
